1.6!

So other mods allow for 24 hour growing. Like the tweaking mods.

This just allows you to use those.

Whats the difference between sun lamps and AO sun lamps? I mean, i know they stay always on, but the plant still need to rest at night, no matter the soil or hydroponics, so whats their intended use?

You can remove it. But as it adds things to the game it will throw errors. They may not be game breaking. I would backup your game before trying :)

Is this safe to remove mid save?

Yes. Just load the updated version by the other author. It works.

So with the Universal Fermenter not updated, is there any way to use the compost bins?

I've managed to come across the underground gold into mini-lamp blueprints bug, and managed to reproduce it. The bug seems to stem from an interaction between this mod (VGP Garden Tools) and Dubs Bad Hygiene.

The bug seems to rely on either of the two mods being added to an already existing save (with the other mod), with underground gold already present on the map. In these conditions, the underground gold will transform into mini ceiling sun lamp blueprints.

This was all reproduced with only Core Rimworld + DLCs and Harmony.

yea sorry. Do to the way smooth stone is coded . It not easy to over write the soil type.

Hello dismarzero

I think I understand my error. When rough-hewn stone I use "Place Soil", when smooth stone I use "excavated ground" and then "reclaim soil". I think this is correct. I will try again and let you know but I do think I was getting confused and this will work.

Hello dismarzero

after "excavated ground", placing "reclaim soil" returns the ground to the previous state instead of creating soil. This is on smooth stone and rough-hewn stone (slate in this case). But if I go into god mode and do the same steps, it create "reclaim soil" where I can then add dirt or compost .

Thats is the weirdest bug i've seen in a long time.

I have tested the crap out of this and could not duplicate.

Forgot to mention the version I'm on, 1.5.4063
New gold deposits that are scanned function as intended but not old ones. Somewhere along the line of my save it switched all gold deposits over to sunlamps.

Yeah! https://imgur.com/a/JTS32UO
It's a weird bug indeed. They all used to be gold deposits but somewhere along the line decided to transition to being mini ceiling sunlamps.

WilliamTSherman Hello again! Busy week :)

Do you have the 2 ingredients you need to make fertilizer at the butcher table?

You need
10 Compost Starter
10 Dirt
?

Thats a very strange bug. I have tested my mod along with a few other mods and am not seeing this issue. Can you let me know what version you are running and provide a picture of the issue?

As for removing the mod. You just remove it from your game. Removing almost any mod from an active game will cause some sort of issue.

That's the weirdest bug I have heard in a while. Do you have a screen shot of this?

All underground gold (Ground Penetrating Scanner) gets replaced by "300 mini ceiling sun lamp (blueprint)"
How do I remove this mod from my current save? As when I do, it just deletes ALL the green underground markers, although this does revert the underground resources to gold, albeit without a green marker.

I can look into it :)

I also can't right click and force them to do it, there is no option

My colonists won't create fertilizer at the butcher table for some reason, not sure what's going on. No errors I can see. I have the materials for it.

1.5!!

smooth stone tiles are coded differently then other terrain tiles.

My soil reclaims cannot work with that coding.
If it is do something with smoothed stone it is pretty much a bug.
I have spent many days trying to work around smoothed tiles and have not found a way to make it work without breaking the balance of the mod.

Ive got a weird bug in regards to the excavated ground and soil reclamation.

f I use excavated ground on smooth stone, then try to reclaim soil on it to make it dirt, it just begins a remove rile function and doesnt even place the soil. I only got this to work ONCE and managed to get a plowed field on it, but even when I was marking that out the colonists were trying to remove the tile of dirt I finally made and I had to draft them to keep hem from tearing it up.

I dont think I have any mods that conflict, but the way its operating it like theyre calling up a value that tells them to uproot the floor when they try to execute whatever build action it is theyre doing.

It should not be.

Does cremate corpses in the crematorium give the debuff "Butchered humanlike"? As I seem to be having that crop up a lot in my current playthrough and I can't see anything else that could be causing this.

Its a weird bug. It happens with the Gravel soil from under grounders ideo as well

Noticed something odd, trying to make indoor grass fields for some of my animals when it's too cold to graze, and I keep having filth accumulate on top of placed soil even though it's, well, already dirt technically. It tanks my peoples comfort if they have to go in there because of just how ugly it gets from all the dirtiness (hah) and it wastes my cleaner's time because they keep trying to clean the dirt off the dirt.

Nevermind I got it on my side. I figured it out by looking into the XML's of buildings_hydro

Weird...Hmm. I couldn't trouble you perhaps to make them walkable on purpose?

I haven't made any changes to the building code in years. So im not sure :)

Hey Dismar. I don't know when this change happened but I can't seem to have my pawns walk ontop of the hydroponics bays anymore unless they are harvesting or planting something. I remember being able to walk ontop of them with a drafted pawn before.

Tools
-excavated ground

Found under garden tool. This terrain will build a stony natural tile that can be used on any land tile including smoothed stone. Requires no materials other than work. After building it, you can then use a soil reclaim to place soils.

I been thinking and pondering over this all weekend. Got really high. And think I might have come up with a work around for the Smooth stone issue.

No I just need to make it work in game :)

Yes there are. they also allow you to place on any surface. Many it pretty Over powered. And thus breaking the balance of this mod.

I'm 99% sure I have a different mod that allows you to place soil directly on smoothed stone. I'll try and figure out which one it is. V1.3 here.

Smooth stone is generated via a special coding. I have been trying to find a way to make it work since it has come out. And so far the only coding that works break this mod.

I will continue to find a way to work around that coding. But the best way I have found was to just Dev mode it out.

is there any way to remove smooth floor so that you can place soil, either with this mod or another? or is there an easy way to add smooth stone floors to where soil can be placed?

juan765 strange you should be able to build on it.

Zumbo the patch that controls that is in the FF mod. I'm not sure if it can be fixed on my end. I can write a work around that adds a new digging spot only if the FF is loaded....

Question for anyone who uses this together with VGP. I am aware that some of the VGP tools are overwritten by FF, but the main soil production spot for VGP - "digging spot" - completely disappears when these are used together, and cannot be added with dev mode. Is there any way to get these to work together a little better, or am I just SOL?

is posible to remove the soil ? i cant build another floor over the soil this mod add.

No, does not work. I ll try to find the mod conflict when i ll have some free time.

Is that the 1.0 version?

All those were hidden since this version works for that one as well. If you unsubed it is gone. Please move to this version,'

@Cloud have you tried moving the mod to the bottom of your load list?

What happened to old id? 1185307686

Yes, I checked that several times. But it does not work anywhere. Probably a mod conflict somewhere. I am not even getting any error that I could look into. I am playing with so many mods.

Works on any soil that is growable in the vanilla game

I have no idea what is going on, but i cant place the diggig spot

Yeah, awesome!

I'm ok with it being dirty, just not supernaturally dirty.

Tools
-updated floor defs

I changed up the coding a bit.

Place soil is pretty much the same as having dirt now. Remember its dirty.

I can see the problem where you don't want people to floor their hospitals in dirt cause it's dirt resistant. I'm not sure why my cleaners spend so much less time on natural dirt than on placed dirt. It is a mystery for greater minds than I.
