(Not) Working with Traders

[Nasikabatrachus]

So I added some new Things which I'd like to be able to buy from and sell to traders as commodities, but when I open the trading interface and try to do it, well:

Here's a sample ThingDef:

Code Select Expand

<ThingDef Name="CrateBase" Abstract="True">
<eType>Debris</eType>
<category>Item</category>
<thingClass>ThingWithComponents</thingClass>
<altitudeLayer>Item</altitudeLayer>
<passability>PassThroughOnly</passability>
<fillPercent>0.4</fillPercent>
<maxHealth>100</maxHealth>
<selectable>true</selectable>
<neverMultiSelect>false</neverMultiSelect>
<pathCost>55</pathCost>
<overdraw>false</overdraw>
<comps>
<li><compClass>CompForbiddable</compClass></li>
</comps>
<drawerType>MapMeshOnly</drawerType>
<naturalBuilding>true</naturalBuilding>
<randomizeRotationOnSpawn>false</randomizeRotationOnSpawn>
<designateHaulable>false</designateHaulable>
<dropSound>Interaction/Haul/JunkDrop</dropSound>
<saveCompressible>true</saveCompressible>
<stackLimit>1</stackLimit>
</ThingDef>


<ThingDef ParentName="CrateBase">
<defName>PotatoCrate</defName>
<label>Potato Crate (300)</label>
<basePrice>250</basePrice>
<textureFolderPath>Things/Item/PotatoCrate</textureFolderPath>
<alwaysHaulable>true</alwaysHaulable>
<storeCategories>
<li>PlantFoodRaw</li>
</storeCategories>
</ThingDef>


And here it is in the Trader Def:

Code Select Expand

<li>
<itemDef>PotatoCrate</itemDef>
<dropPriceModifier>Cheap</dropPriceModifier>
<amountMin>2</amountMin>
<amountMax>4</amountMax>
</li>


Am I doing something wrong, or is this impossible to do in Alpha 2?

Looks like your ThingDef has no defName.

Thanks. Looks like my texture problem was using texturefolderpath and the other bugs were a result of using the debris base rather than the resource base for the parent.

  That's a nice texture pack you've got there... Loving the high-contrast.
