More Biotech Letters

Description
Add more letters to help better manage Biotech events. The new letters are:
  • Send a letter when someone's genes have finished regrowing.
  • Send a letter when a colonist or prisoner reaches romanceable age (16 biological age, hard-coded for now).
  • Send a letter when someone's genes extracted by using the Gene Extractor. I don't know how to include the extracted genes info in the letter (using Harmony). Helps and pointers would be greatly appreciated!
  • Send a letter when a mech gestation completed. This is a blank letter. It does not contains any info about the mech, nor it can point to the location. I don't know how to. Helps and pointers would be greatly appreciated! In the mean time, I suggest you use this mod to send letter/pause the game and use the top left corner message to locate the new mech. Thanks Monkey Magic for suggesting this option!

It can be safely added mid-game and should not conflict with any mods.

Options for each events are:
  • Send letter.
  • Pause the game.

Getting an error, log: https://pastebin.com/LiqYZA2t
I've tried with both regular Harmony and Harmony for macOS on ARM: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3515420793

@wowhvb Nice!

@wowhvb - Yeah, the in-game dependency flags are working fine.I made that comment back in March, not sure if you fixed in in April last time you updated, or if I was referring to here on Steam. It's best to have both set though ^^

I have these lines in my About.xml, I thought they handle dependency.

<modDependencies>
<li>
<packageId>brrainz.harmony</packageId>
<displayName>Harmony</displayName>
<steamWorkshopUrl>steam://url/CommunityFilePage/2009463077</steamWorkshopUrl>
<downloadUrl>https://github.com/pardeike/HarmonyRimWorld/releases/latest</downloadUrl>
</li>
<li>
<packageId>ludeon.rimworld.biotech</packageId>
<displayName>Biotech</displayName>
</li>
</modDependencies>

Anyway, there is a way to add DLC dependencies via Steam itself. I just did that. Let's hope it suffices. Thanks for the suggestion, @Monkey Magic and @Arthur GC!

+1 to @Monkey Magic suggestion about the dlc requirement.
Monkey Magic 13 Mar @ 7:22pm 
Might wanna add Biotech as a requirement too :P

Thank you! I will have a look at it!

@wowhvb. Mod is throwing up the following error in 1.4, if that helps at all:

@Money Magic Yeah, the problem is that I can't include the mech type/location in the letter.
