[1.0 - 1.1] Genetic Rim - Combine animals to create new hybrids - v5.05

[Albion]

That's more or less what I'm doing, but I don't want to change it too much to avoid breaking Albion's mod

It's okay. I can check out the changes after you released the new version and adapt my patch accordingly. Just post here that you pushed the new version and I will check out the changes and push my adapted version a few hours later.
Most of the code already exists and I only need to replace parts of it. The reason I posted here was to make you aware of the issue and maybe get you to change it.

Hey, I like that idea! Albion, you think you could implement it like that?

Edit: I guess that would be easy enough. I won't be able to provide a translation since I only speak English and German but people who are using my mod have to live with that anyway

Hey everyone! I have just released the 2.4 update, and this is HUGE. I dabbled in science that most men's minds can't even begin to grasp (aka, I used Harmony) to bring you...... THE ANIMAL CONTROL RESEARCH!!

With this research, you can build an animal control hub, which gives two things: first, you can draft your animals and move them around. Awesome!

Secondly, it gives special abilities to all Hybrids and Alphas as long as it remains built. Each "family" has a different special ability, so hybrids have two. For example, the Thrumbalope can both "Stampede", which produces clouds of dust that decrease fire weapons accuracy, and can "Detonate", which prematurely kills the animal and produces a huge explosion.

Since every creature has a possible combination of two abilities, this gives a lot of oportunities for tactical encounters. Pfffft, turrets? I have a Thrumborat that can burrow behind the enemy lines and then produce clouds of dust in their midst.

Obviously this will be buggy. I have tried to test it as much as possible, but you know... Please report any bugs!

Oh, I also fixed a couple bugs and added a couple QoL things here and there

@Albion: I changed the way the mod handles chemfuel, and all boomalope hybrids (except boombeetle, which doesn't produce chemfuel) are now doing it like this:

Code Select Expand

 
<li Class="NewAnimalSubproducts.CompProperties_AnimalProduct">
<resourceDef>Chemfuel</resourceDef>
<gatheringIntervalDays>3</gatheringIntervalDays>
<resourceAmount>55</resourceAmount>
<customResourceString>ChemfuelProd</customResourceString>

      </li>

I also added a customResourceString called:

Code Select Expand

<NeutroglycerinProd>Neutroglycerin production</NeutroglycerinProd>

Just in case you don't want to add a translateable string in your mod. You can use that, or make your own.

[Albion]

Perfect. Thank you SargBjornson.
I'll update and publish the new patch as soon as possible. Thanks for the additional resourceString. I'll be using it.

Very interesting update by the way. I guess it required a lot of C# magic.

[Canute]

Very impressiv update , special the Animal control thing.

[SargBjornson]

The c# sources are on GitHub, and I tried to comment the code a bit, so if any of you feels like trying to use Harmony, it could help! It really is very powerful

Just let me complete the modlist and here I go version up! No more zoning, unfortunate shots... And more reason to improve the lab

Just for you information: I updated the patch and it works great. Thank you for including the customResourceString.
It's awesome to have this kind of cross-mod cooperation.

[Nightinggale]

Thank you for including the customResourceString.

You are welcome. I assume you meant to include a thank for me coming up with the solution as well, but you posted without proofreading or something

I fully agree. In fact apart from writing the DLL for BoneMod, all I have done has been making tools for mods to interact with each other. Players use multiple mods together, meaning mods should interact to produce the result the players would expect from mixing mods. This can be done by moving as much configuration as possible from DLL to xml. This allows other mods to patch, perhaps conditionally depending on presence of specific mods.
