Advanced Hydroponics

Awesome! Much appreciated!

@DocHolliday I remember looking into adding this quite a few years ago actually. Back then, it wasn't really possible to do without adding a custom assembly to the mod. It seems though, that at some point, support for this functionality was added to the base game.

The latest version of the mod now has both the tiled and 1x4 advanced basins configured with their own builtin sun lamp.

Any chance you could make these count as self lit? You could just make the blue exterior color glow a tiny bit and it would make sense if need be. Nice mod regardless!

Thank you for the update

@Thundercraft While I agree that having multiple mods with the exact same display name can be confusing, I do personally believe that the current name is very fitting though.

Given that Ogre's mod was published several years after mine, I'm of the opinion that (in this case) it's his responsibility to ensure that a given mod name wasn't already taken in the past before using it themselves.

About the potential logs issue, every mod also has an unique Identifier, separate from the Display Name. This Identifier is visible in the 'Mods' menu in the 'ID' field. When users provide logs, this identifier is also generally contained inside these logs, so error logging shouldn't really be affected by this naming issue.

It seems confusing that this mod uses the same name as Advanced Hydroponics , especially since these two mods do very, very different things. And because they do different things, I could easily see some players using both mods. Imagine trying to use both mods, but looking at your mod list in confusion because you see what appears to be the same mod listed twice... It would be even more confusing for players using both mods to try to figure out an error log if "Advanced Hydroponics" was mentioned.

Just saying: It would be nice if, either, this mod was named "Stolij's Advanced Hydroponics" or the other mod was renamed to "Ogre's Advanced Hydroponics".

@saintz Since I can't reproduce the problem you're experiencing, I can't exactly pinpoint what's causing it. You could try to verify the integrity of your Rimworld install (Right click Rimworld (in steam) -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of game files).

I personally don't own any of the DLC's, so you could try to disable them to see if it does work when they aren't loaded.

Also, the mod BetterLoading (1.4 version) seems to have some comments which complain about Mod incompatibilities.

@Stolij Hello, I tried only activate ur 'Advanced Hydroponics", still not showing.

Mod list order:
Harmony
BetterLoading
RIMMSAssemble
Core
DLC1
DLC2
HugsLib
Advanced Hydroponics

@Stolij Oh, I will try later, thanks for ur suggestion.

@saintz Are you sure that it's not some other mod causing that? The build option shows up for me after researching 'Advanced Hydroponics' under the production tab
