CompProperties_Drug custom chemical type

[UNIT5]

I want to change a custom drug's addiction chemical from "Psychite" to something else. The closest I've gotten with my admittedly limited knowledge of C# is public class ChemicalDef : Def, but I'm not sure how to script the game to recognize a new <chemical> from there.

Is this just out of my league, or is there a simple way of doing this that I'm missing? (ChemicalIwanttoadd is what the new chemical would be called)

I realize maybe I need to create a new Verse.Def but I'm not sure how to actually compile something like that

First off; Welcome to the forums and the wonderful (but sometimes confusing) world of Rimworld modding! 

I think you are overcomplicating things... If i am not misunderstanding your problem.
Chemicals are defined in xml using the <ChemicalDef> class.
Search for it and i think you find all you need.

I was thinking the same but not replied because "it seems too simple"
:-s

But indeed I made modded drugs, needs and addiction without C# voodoo, just by copy-pasting vanilla ones.

This one is from smokeleaf code (Core/Defs/Drugs/Smokeleaf.xml)

Oh wow I'm stupid, I kept searching for the wrong thing so I never found the ChemicalDef type. I assumed the Psychite addiction coding would be included in Flake (the only code I searched through, because I'm an idiot), but it's only included in Yayo's code.

No matter how much experience I get modding all sorts of games I always seem to get stuck on the simplest possible bit of coding just because I can't read. Thanks a lot for the help, and hopefully I'll be able to carry myself the rest of the way

Oh right, I haven't thought about it sooner but yes they are the perfect example that you can have several drugs sharing the same chemical and so same addiction...

I feel you. But don't worry. I found perfectly normal that after several hours of reading walls of text (especially code or foreign language) you may sometimes just need a fresh pair of eyes ;-) - And I'm speaking of experiences :-p

Hope you'll manage, else don't hesitate to use this section of the forum again ^^
