Researchable Stat Upgrades Rewritten

As y'all know, I haven't had a ton of time or motivation to work on my mods. Math is a mess of my fixes on top of Duck's old code, RSU:R has always been pretty janky, and No Caves... well NC is fine, actually. No real complaints there.


This is mostly a time thing; life is busy around here, and while I'm at least able to hop on my PC and play games semi-regularly, I just don't have the gusto to dig in to buggy messes like I used to haha.

I give full permission to anyone brave enough to pick up where I left off to do so - in fact, if you need me to explain anything in the code, just poke me on Discord and I'll do my best.

Maybe one day in the future I'll completely rewrite Math from the ground up, but RSU:R is a nightmare to work on, having now gone through four maintainers, by my count. No Caves, at least, should work in any version, regardless of base-game changes, unless Ludeon decide to completely refactor map generation.

Thanks for using my jank all this time, y'all! I appreciate your endless patience with me, and I apologize for not paying it back in the end <3

I'll be maintaining this where I can for as long as I can - AKA as long as I stay interested in RimWorld modding. -kd8lvt


> Initial stages of the rewrite are complete. Will be working more on it in the coming weeks.
> Fixed compatibility with Better Ground Penetrating Scanners!
> Some pretty major (hopefully) performance improvements
> ResearchDependentStatDefs can now handle buildings MUCH easier

> Ideology Slaves do not get Combat-related bonuses
> Mod Config

Does this require a new save/colony/world/game/map/thing/stuff/computer/universe to use? No
Can I suggest something? You see the empty spaces in the research tree? Fill them. (Yes)
I've found a bug, what do I do? Tell me how you got to the bug, post a screenshot, and backup your save file because I might ask for it
Do you have the stats in detail? Get the mod, you don't need to do anything, just enter the research screen. If I put it here it might not be up-to-date
My items keep truncating, and it's really annoying what do I do? Right now the solution is to put Researchable Stat Upgrades higher up in the modlist (Thanks Hinanawi-sama). If that doesnt work join in the bug discussions!

Just a few tips on how to make ideas:
1. Does this really work as a research? Maybe your idea is better to be a special item or a special building, instead of a stat upgrade.
2. Think up of an ideal cost/tech level of your research
3. Think up of a nice name!
4. Where would it go in the research tree?
5. That tree is getting rather full, which means short but sweet researches probably have a higher chance of getting in!
