So, the mod "Rock and Stone" makes it so the player can build rock walls using stone chunks instead of neading to refine them. These stone walls act like naturally generated stone walls, such that they can be smoothed and mined. However, the original mod only works on base game stone types and not modded ones. After looking at the mods code, I attempted to create a compatibility patch for "[K]Extra Stone" but it didn't do anything. The way the mod works is that it adds a blueprint texture, a dropdown list in the architect menu to select what type of stone like how one would a basic wall, and an xml file that dictates the more indepbt details of how the mod should work in game. Using the "RaS_ThingDefs_Buildings_Patch" xml file in the mod's "Patches" folder I created the following code for the stone added by [K]Extra Stone:

Unfortunately, this simply doesn't work. The original mod still only shows the base game's stone types in the Architect menu. At some point I thought that maybe I could just add the Rock and Stone folders to [K]Extra Stone's mod folder in an attempt to combine them, but all that did was cause my game to get stuck on a black screen upon start up. This attempt at combining them was done with both mods still active, though, so maybe I need to disable Rock and Stone in my mod list when I attempt to combine them, leaving the modified [K]Extra Stone mod enabled. What do you think?
