ThoughtDef

[Pandora]

A two-part question:

I'd like to add thought defs to my mod. Basically;

Add bill to worktable, colonist completes bill; colonist gets thought. I want to create a shower worktable where colonists use soap in a recipe and gain a "Clean" thought. This would be a time limit thought, possibly stack-able.

Questions:
1. Can I do this without .dll?
2. Would I add the thought code to the Soap or the Worktable?

And (on an unrelated note). Can I create an Orbital trade beacon, similar to the vanilla Orbital trade beacon, without a .dll?

Afaik it'd need a bit of code to add the thought. I'm thinking a custom JobDef (could extend the DoBill one) with a driverClass that adds the thought.

I think you could also create a new Soap class that implemented the Usable interface, and add the thought in the UsedBy() method.

Coding I can do, it's .dll's that I can't.

[Temeez]

I'm fairly sure that you need to do some C# (.dll) modding to accomplish this.

I used this code in Alpha 7, I believe it worked (I had no errors).
