Oh it's not necessary. I'm fine with it. Maybe another person liked it and you'll break their save xd

Excellent, I will gladly remove my update when you do. Thanks for all your mods old and new!

I will probably re-add this mod's content in a future expansion for EM - Metals

1.5 update: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3288432482

That said if you edit the setting XML manually, that works too.

The mod does work, but the mod option panel is broken by 1.4 so you can't change settings.

please update

This mod doesn't seem to do anything at all. Not even the mod settings display anything.

Seems to work just fine in 1.4 with a little testing in Dev mode. Haven't tried in an actual play through yet but probably just needs 1.4 tag added to about.

1.4 please?

Yes, remember you can select anything you want to be crafted with these components instead in the mod options menu

Can you craft VE Flintlocks and Muskets with these components? I think it is stupid that you need fabrication in order to make an ooga-booga gun...

Seems feasible

atleast that i can think of anyway XD

The only thing that could make this mod even better then it is, is a search function so you can look up stuff rather then having to scroll through and find the item you want to enable.

Seems quite right

Yes, but either with a less efficient version of the recipe, or with the current one(or alternative like I suggested in the patch suggestions) with better versions in more advanced tables, eg. 2 Industrial components for 1.5x the basic materials at the machining bench and 4 components for 2x the materials at the fabricator(just an example)

So you want to be able to make industrial components at the smithy using basic components?

As far as I can tell industrial components can only be made at the fabricator at the moment, but basic ones can be made at smithies, problem is(for me and a few others it would seem), basic components cant be used for anything other than making industrial components at the fabricator

I think there was already a recipe, but adding more options seem very logical

Since industrial components are used for all electronics I would suggest adding recipes for crafting them with basic components to the smithy and machining table and balancing things so the player uses less material and/or makes more components at the more advanced stations

helmo hwat uses basic comonents i cant fin andy recipes using basic componets except to make inustrile comopnets

I doubt it, first I'll need to update this to add custom configuration. It is taking a while because I have been focusing on other stuff as well as that there was a small issue with the configuration that is yet to be fixed.

will there be glitter world component?

Forgot to remove this while going from a medieval run to industrial one. And I now look at my starting industrial components like something super precious lol.

Sort-of need to rush fabrication to make more, but cannot really afford a whole pawn just doing that when I have just 3 and I need other research too. I could rely on trade, but I have nothing to trade and no time to craft because I also forgot to give myself seeds (seedsplease) for farming and I use Yayo's Combat ammunition system. I don't have time to alloy steel to make industrial ammo, I need to run everywhere to harvest wild plants and remove their seeds so I can plant them so I can get a decent havest for winter. Feel like a survival game where I need to craft primitiv ammo and bows and rely on campfire/passive cooler until I stabilise.

It's interesting!

Once I update the mod to add the configuration, I'll no longer need to patch

I know you are patching stuff for basic components thing. Mind you check the gun nut mods?

You're supposed to craft the components, yet I do know it's a big chance, I'll balance it better for the next update

Hey there...

I find this mod a great challenge. Onyl issue is maybe compact machinery should yield industrial components. Otherwise we may not have any means to produce more advanced stuff outside traidng

That's why I commissioned configurable options. You only have to wait until I fix an incompatibility between said configuration and both EM Metals and Plastics.

This mode doesnt work well, when i want to make charged weapons i need simple components.

Yes!

Will that update cover both buildings and craftable items?

Oh excellent news then! I'll be looking forward to such a user friendly luxury as you have suggested.

Thanks for the code! Unfortunately(or rather fortunately) I'm gonna update the mod soon with options that'll let you manually select which items use basic components and which ones not. Update will come after the update of both Expanded Materials main mods.

Scrap that last patch code, here's a better code that is slightly more mod proof (in specific vs VWE)

<!-- Patch Guns but not guns based on more research or guns which are based on gunsmithing. -->
<Operation Class="PatchOperationSetName">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef [@ParentName="BaseHumanMakeableGun" and (recipeMaker[not(researchPrerequisite)] or recipeMaker/researchPrerequisite="Gunsmithing")]/costList/ComponentIndustrial</xpath>
<name>ComponentBasic</name>
</Operation>

Now it also checks if by accident there's a duplicate prerequisite entry for gunsmithing in the weapons def itself. Hand cannon, lever action rifle and sawed off shotgun have a redundant gunsmithing prerequisite in their code which caused the previous code I posted to overlook them.

Here's the xpath code to make basic guns use basic components while advanced guns use industrial components.

<!-- Patch Guns but not guns based on more advanced research. -->
<Operation Class="PatchOperationSetName">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef [@ParentName="BaseHumanMakeableGun" and recipeMaker[not(researchPrerequisite)]]/costList/ComponentIndustrial</xpath>
<name>BC_ComponentBasic</name>
</Operation>

It basically checks if a gun has an (extra) research requirement for its construction, if it does, then it is not patched. If it doesn't have it, you can be sure it requires its parents BaseHumanMakeableGun's research prerequisite which is gunsmithing. Result: Revolver is basic while autopistol is advanced components. Is the code completely mod proof and perfect? No. But does it do the job? Yes and it probably will do it for most mods as well.

That patch turned out to be a lil' weird. I'll check it and I'll update, I also noticed it, thanks for the useful feedback :D

Noticed something strange:

When I run this mod standalone, simple weapons are not updated to use basic components at all. But if Vanilla Framework and Vanilla Weapons are added, then this mod does update some weapons to use basic components but not some that you would expect.

Assault rifles cost basic components for some reason even when the patch file says to exclude these weapons. Bolt action rifles on the other hand now still use industrial components.

Other weird things like EMP grande launcher costing basic but EMP grenades cost industrial lol.

Any idea what is going on here?

Just an idea:

Rename Advanced Component to Spacer Component this way the components will be listed by tech level in the stockpile. Currently it lists Advanced Components (3) first and then Basic Components (1) and finally Industrial Component (2). For a 3 1 2 order. Changing the name of Advanced Component to something like Spacer Component (or Nano component?) will ensure that they are listed alphabetically in order of value and tech level. Just an idea.

Gotta add them, hopefully I'll update this soon

Got a request: could you patch the early prosthetics to use these? I always imagine you're basically putting on a wooden arm, maybe with a basic mechanical grip when you make certain motions. Not exactly precision engineering.

Idea: You can make simple components at fabrication bench. (One or in bulk)

Thank you for updating this mod for 1.3, it is a small mod that make a big diference.

No, I kept them like vanilla

do these have bulk conversion recipes?

Ehh... no it does not. The basic components have a work amount of 2200, while the vanilla component (industrial) recipe takes 5000 work amount.

hey there. basic components seem to require quite much more work to produce, compared to industrial components. is this intentional?

i really crave rimworld but this mod makes using muskets from vanilla weapons expanded pretty good
