Hey folks,
Today I pushed a relatively risky update to the Ship Wall Enhanced Mod. I’ve removed almost all stuff material requirements from the Cabin buildings. As a result, their recipes are now much more explicitly defined.


It all started as an art issue. Initially, I added stuff requirements to these Cabin structures so they could be airtight, which made sense at the time. However, in RimWorld, buildings made from stuff inherit the color of the material used—for example, steel tends to darken textures. This unintended tinting really ruined the visual aesthetics.

To counter this, I tried the shadowcomplex method—adding extra textures to override the color shifts. Unfortunately, this introduced an even worse problem: jagged white edges around many of the buildings. I tried everything I could think of, but I couldn’t eliminate them completely. If you look closely at some of the vanilla stuff-based buildings in RimWorld, like beds, you’ll notice similar white artifacts too.

Eventually, I realized it wasn't worth it. I decided to drop the stuff airtight property and instead enable airtight functionality directly through XML settings. This allowed me to keep the clean visuals without relying on hacky workarounds.

I understand this might disappoint some players, especially those who liked building their Cabins out of uranium or other exotic materials. It may even cause issues with existing buildings in current saves. Still, I believe this tradeoff was necessary to maintain better visual fidelity. A short-term pain for long-term gain.

The update is live now. I’m not entirely sure how everyone will feel about it, so please let me know your thoughts—feedback is always welcome!

我今天为 Ship Wall Enhanced Mod做了一个相对危险的更新。我删除了几乎所有仓室建筑的stuff材料需求，因此它们现在的配方要求非常明确。

为什么我要这么做？

这其实是因为美术表现问题，最开始我只是希望所有的Cabin建筑能拥有气密性，所以我给它们都设置了stuff材料的需求。但因为在rimworld中，一个有stuff材料需求的建筑总是会因为材料的颜色而染色，比如说钢铁会使原本的建筑贴图变得更暗。

而为了阻止这一点，我只能使用shadowcomplex的方式来设置额外的贴图来放置贴图变色，但这又带来了新的，更巨大的问题：这些仓室建筑的边缘会出现非常多的白色锯齿。我尝试了几乎所有办法都无法完全消除他们，如果你们观察一些原本rimworld中带stuff材料需求的建筑，你可能会发现诸如床这样的家具其实也会出现类似的白色锯齿。这些烦人的问题最终促使我决定不再使用stuff材料来获得建筑的气密性，而是直接进行气密性的设置。

我知道这么做可能会导致部分用铀矿来建造仓室建筑的玩家不满，甚至也有可能导致部分玩家目前存档中的已存在实例建筑出现问题，但是为了优化美术效果，我认为还是有必要做这样的一个改动。我相信长痛不如短痛，因此我在今天做了这个更新，但是我不太确定大家是否能理解我的做法，我也希望能够获得一些反馈。
