[Help] How to increase Orbital Trade Beacon radius?

[Tyolan]

I would like to create a small mod to increase a little the Orbital Trade Beacon radius. I know the beacon information are in "Buildings_Misc.xml" but i can't find a way to change the radius. The only attribute linked to the radius seems to be "PlaceWorker_ShowTradeBeaconRadius". But i don't know how to change it.

Any suggestion? Thx a lot.

sadly, it's hardcoded, you need code injection to change area of beacon, custom placement worker won't have any effect.

Code Select Expand

if (current.InHorDistOf(pos, 7.9f))
{
Building_OrbitalTradeBeacon.tradeableCells.Add(current);
}

So i need to learn how to do a code injection with a dll? I have some skills in programming, do you think it will be hard?

get harmony from tools section and read its documentation.
you will need dnspy and notepad++ anyway, also you will need knowledge of c# reflection.
