Universal Fermenter

Universal Fermenter is a mod which allows you to create a custom "waiting" production buildings in a style of the vanilla fermenting barrel. The mod adds the possibility customize the building's parameters such as input ingredients, output product, temperature ranges, fermentation speed and an influence of weather on the speed. It is possible to assign multiple products to a single building and cycle through them in game. Adding a new fermenter building is simple and does not require any C# skills.

Information on how to use and what to set up is on the Wiki.

Comments and tips about the code or anything else are welcome and appreciated!

You rocks !

Thank you

[cuproPanda]

It looks good! I'll have to give it a test run sometime soon! You might want to consider adding a static class like this. It's a minor improvement that means each new fermenter won't have to recreate static data, and might allow you to remove [StaticConstructorOnStartup] from the fermenters. I just recently began updating my mods to use this method

oh! shiny!

You are an awesome person, thanks!

Yes please, more comments about my code. Even though I have some programming background, this is my first C# project ever.

What is the purpose of the [StaticConstructorOnStartup]? As I understand it it should guarantee that the static members are loaded first and since they are static they belong to the class type and therefore should be loaded only once. I understand the Static class approach you suggested, I just don't understand how it is different from [StaticConstructorOnStartup]. Also in your quarry mod you used both [StaticConstructorOnStartup] and the Static class. You should be able to safely remove [StaticConstructorOnStartup] when you're using the Static class, right?

[Kubouch]

I fixed the Fermenting Barrel maximum safe temperature to be the same as vanilla. They should be completely identical now.

So, this is meant to be a framework for modders with no/less C skills? Thank you so much!!

Yes, only knowledge how to add XML buildings is required.

[Kubouch]

New version (a17.2.0)!

Added the possibility to assign multiple resources to a single building. You can choose what to produce by clicking on a button in game.

The code is still a bit of a hodgepodge but I had a good time fixing bugs so I hope it will work nicely. I'm off for the weekend now :-D. Let me know about any issues, I'll try to fix them when I'm back.

Enjoy!

[Kubouch]

Just for convenience I added a "forbiddable" property to the Fermenting Barrel. When you forbid the barrel, colonists won't put stuff in so you can control how much resources get produced. It is a simple XML deed, you can easily do it yourself or remove it.

That updates Fermenting Barrel to version a17.2.1. Download etc. in the first post.

[lionessJess]

You are a star!!! I have been trying to work out how to make my own fermenting barrel for ages, now I can finally finish my wine mod. I am super new to this and very grateful for your work!!

[Kubouch]

New version (a17.3.0)!

Now it is possible to assign all the properties to every resource. Each product can have its own fermenting temperature, speed, etc.

For more info, please visit a brand new Wiki. There are examples on how to use the mod and a list of all possible setable parameters. I ditched the Fermenting Barrel mod in favor of the Wiki.

Enjoy!
