The Rimpy mod manager mentions something about an unknown dependency?

It's because the about.xml contains unneeded bloat, like

<modDependencies>
<li>
<packageId>Unknown (help extend this)</packageId>
<displayName>Unknown (help extend this)</displayName>
<downloadUrl>Unknown (help extend this)</downloadUrl>
<steamWorkshopUrl>Unknown (help extend this)</steamWorkshopUrl>
</li>
</modDependencies>
<modDependenciesByVersion>
<v1.1>
<li>
<packageId>Unknown (help extend this)</packageId>
<displayName>Unknown (help extend this)</displayName>
<steamWorkshopUrl>Unknown (help extend this)</steamWorkshopUrl>
<downloadUrl>Unknown (help extend this)</downloadUrl>
</li>
</v1.1>
</modDependenciesByVersion>

Yup, I'll get around to pruning that, I wasn't sure if doing so would mess something up at the time

Besides the About.xml file containing boilerplate, the changing of game assets is done technically poorly as well, replacing the game file with a modified copy means that if the game changes anything, this mod will overwrite it with old data. It's instead supposed to use patching (https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Modding_Tutorials/PatchOperations). Can you fix that, or will you at least accept a fix?

Absolutely, this was a quick fix to brush the crap off the map, if theres a better way to do it however, I'm totally open to learning how to do it, or having someone make a better version of the current mod. The former will probably take longer since I've been relatively busy recently.

Ok. At https://pastebin.com/raw/De7L4D9g there's a new version for About/About.xml with the extra stuff removed, at https://pastebin.com/raw/zEwCtPhE is a new file that should be Patches/CommonMapGenerator.xml . The old Defs/ part should be removed. Now the mod should load without any messages and provide the same functionality.

Does this also remove the ruins that Rimworld had before ideology came out?
