Just here to wish you well on irl stuff. <3

ahh thats ok then, i wasnt sure if it was a problem on my end, also wish you well with your irl stuff

Don't use the tree potting table at all. The next update I do will remove it. Why the issue? Okay so I know kinda why, but I have to learn more to re-introduce the table, but have to also remove it first.

Before Ideology came out, I needed to use the SeedsPlease mod to get seeds for trees to grow them, but now with the Guaranlan tree and its pods, I can reverse engineer those mechanics instead to simplify all the code and make it easier for the subscribers. My old PC wouldn't let me code C# but hopefully this one will.

Out of game, I'm dealing with serious stuff right now that's only been getting worse instead of better, so I don't have time to keep working on the next update, no matter how much I hate saying that.

when i click the magic tree potting table, the ui disappears and controls stop responding
and im left with the ghost table on the cursor but when i click to place nothing happens>
i'm also on 1.3 with lots of other mods, any suggestions?

Thank you! I'm mostly looking forward to making the crafting station actually work!

I just threw this onto my existing 1.4 game (with lots of other mods running as well) and so far no new issues. Very excited to see you're able to work on this!

For clarity: When I say "what's there now", I mean my own version of my mod in my PC no one else can see. You guys decide when I upload updates. Also, hopefully you guys can help me playtest it! I'm going to have some truly insane things that will require some balancing.

Alright, I got a few parts rewritten, and have plans for the other 60 mechanics I'm putting in. If I update now, it'll be 1.4, but also it'll tear out a lot of things. Anyone mind red errors until you reload and save a couple times?

What's there now: The original trees, which won't spawn, the walls that glow if you make it with tiberium, and some domesticated event trees that you can't get the seeds for.

I'm making it so you can get the seeds next, so you can cut down an anima or garuanlen, get special wood, and turn that into a seed to grow a domesticated version.

Honestly, I'm probably going to have to remake the entire mod from scratch at this point, with how many DLC and mod updates that this mod looks at (not relies on, I reverse engineered everything then rewrote it from scratch so there aren't a huge amount of dependencies.

If it does work, let me know. I'm still trying to get this POS PC to let me build C#.

oooh sounds like fun. Do you know if I can throw this in 1.4 saves? I might try it anyway and cross my fingers.

Oh, and I'm also trying to figure out how to make my mod compatible with the Kijin mod, which right now it isn't. That mod makes Anima trees drop an artifact, and I need to make it not do that, and allow the harvesting of anima wood instead.

Thanks! I feel the same way. Right now I'm working on reverse-engineering the source mods, which have all changed and been upgraded since I created this mod. So there's a lot more work for me to do!

So glad you are doing better!! Also, I am very excited for this mod - can't get enough trees. :)

So, good news and bad news:

Good news: I finished physical therapy and have use of my left arm again! Yay for typing speed!
Good news: My old computer crapped out, which is where all my code and art was for this mod.
Bad news: My 10 year old computer was better than this brand new piece of crud is, even after I upgraded it.
Good news: Jecrell updated his own Cults, and Sarg Bjornsen updated Alpha Animals!
Bad news: Jecrell updated his own Cults, and Sarg Bjornsen updated Alpha Animals!

Good thing I did frequent updates. I'm going to redownload the mod, and make new art, and also have been thinking of redesign direction. There's a thing I want to do, but I want subscriber opinions first before I even pretend to bother.

Rainbeau's mod makes random wild versions of vanilla plants and some trees. He quit modding, but his mods still work thanks to fans. Do you guys want me to include his trees, too? The fruit trees will do something the other tree types don't, but I won't say what.

I didn't expect an answer that quickly. Thanks!
I guess I'll just try to figure everything else out in the meantime. You do your best to get better before retuning to the mod.

Crap, I didn't realize it got that bad with the version difference. Don't build the potting station for now. I'm reworking all of the code for the magic trees, and right now the tree potting station doesn't actually do anything.

I've been having issues in RL both medically and with my PC, and I'm trying to get all that sorted out so I can work on this more. Once I do, I'll update everyone like I was doing before.

When I try to build the tree potting station, the entire UI disappears and I get stuck with an unplacable icon. All keys stop working. The only way out is to close the game from the OS

I got a new computer, and am trying to get it set back up to mod. The previous computer, even with a much better modder than me watching over Discord and guiding my hand, found that we couldn't get the C# libraries installed so everything I tried to do with the Potting Table and other stuff couldn't work.

Once this new PC is set up and I get help again to make sure I set it up right, I'll be able to address this. It's number 2 on my list of 'dang it just get this to work already'.

I'm having the same issue Torey with the Magic Tree Potting Table, it looks like it is still in the game, and still breaking things.

:D Well then I'll play around and see if I can set up my new computer is up for it! Everyone's complaining on Discord about my microphone, so I'll get a new one and see if its the mic or the PC. Either way, the PC I was building this mod on only cost me $500, including monitor, 7 years ago. New one was $1600 for the tower only. I think I can do a little bit better now...

Twitch streams does sound like a fun thing to see, @viirinsoftworks!

I'm talking to a friend of mine overy my Discord server, and she said that I should start doing Twitch streams while I work on this mod. What do you guys think? I won't bother doing it if no one cares, but if you guys wanna watch then I'll do it.

My modder version of Rimworld is running with my mod with no dependencies (except Harmony) with no errors, and putting the DLCs and other mods that used to be dependencies back in, still no errors. So everything's fine*

* oh no I jinxed myself probably

Google has a dice roller bot! Let that be your guide :)

Uh, yes? Secret things are great, but so is variety... I don't know which way to vote. XD

Okay I figured out how to repair my modding version of Rimworld, and started looking into some other stuff. In the meantime, I have a question for you guys. Would you like the next update to have more art and plants (that like all the rest aren't implemented yet but can be spawned with console) or a secret thing?

:)

Yeah it's mostly about designing so it's balanced right now. Like, I don't think anyone wants "POOF YOU HAVE 50 ANIMA GRASS!" stuff. So I have to redesign the balance effect.

👍🏻

Can’t wait to see what comes. 🥳

Ok, so the magical shortcut I use on my desktop to test my mod broke, and I can't figure out how to fix it. I have to do that before I can work more- but I also played more, and advanced with the new DLC and got some ideas. I think I can make my mod that much better, once I figure out some design stuff. Luckily I'm always on Discord and have other nerds and modders to talk to, so I'll come up with something. But right now I can't do anything- just don't build the Magic Tree Potting Table right now.

No problem at all! I wanna make sure I make the highest quality mods I can, with no errors. Letting me know about stuff helps me to look into and fix it!

Thank you! Super excited. Thanks for all the hard work!

I'm partway through working with the Magic Tree Potting Table as it is, so I'll remove it until I'm able to learn C#. The next build of the mod will make the trees drop unique woods, but you won't be able to make seeds with it. However, the trees should all be able to be sown normally until I add more code that makes that no longer true.

Basically I have to remove my mod from my mod, and start from scratch since there were so many updates to the source mods, 1.3 update, and DLC coming out. It'll be slower development going forward, but it will have far less potential of throwing errors, and shouldn't require any dependencies or DLCs.

When I try to place the Magic Tree Potting Table, the ui disappears and my game insta-freezes. Is this happening to anyone else? Do I have a mod load error issue or mod incompatability? Am I doing something wrong or missing a necessary mod? I have a bucketload of mods (tons) and not sure there's any log since it simply freezes and the only way out is Alt-F4.

Thanks in advance for any info. Would love to know if I can use this mod or have to let it go, because it tickles my curiosity.

Thank you so much!

Also I learned something odd. Without editing any of my code at all, I unhooked both DLC. The guaranlen seed couldn't be sown. With the DLC active, it could. So I have to figure out something...

Loving the constant updates, Keep on keeping on and thank you for all of your hard work!

Alright so I made dupes for the DLC trees, but the Ideology one can't be grown with Ideology deactivated. I'll have to write SeedsPlease code for it so it can be.
My plan is to make the Guaranlen and Anima trees go off "Needs" and not Meditation in the same way the DLC does, so having the DLCs is a good idea and enhances everything, but isn't necessary. This is going to require a lot of planning on my part before I can start to write more code.

Oh you can also find me on Discord: https://discord.gg/SjfuW9f

Updated. Alpha Animals isn't a dependency, but Ideology is. It won't be for long though, and neither will Royalty.

Okay, so I'm going to calm down with my mod- I'm concentrating on learning the C# code needed to make Events and a couple other things. The Kijin mod isn't compatible with mine no matter what I do, since the Anima tree drops artifacts and not my own Anima Shards no matter what order I put the mods in. Mlie suggested I make my Anima clones in an event so it is compatible, so I'm going to do that. Jecrell gave me permission to use his art and code however I want, and I have to figure out the new tree's mechanics from Ideology. So I have a few things to do :)

But worry not. Once I figure that out, I'm planning on rapid development.

Yes I am, and thank you!
I really hate Ideology, and was hoping that it would do certain things that it doesn't do. As it stands now, I have to fix how bad the 1.3 and DLC are so I can continue to playtest my mod. Let's hope I can learn the C# as fast as possible!

Awesome, love it and I'm glad to see you are still working on it for this newest patch! Keep on being awesome!

I am getting the next DLC, if for no other reason than to see what I have to do to keep my mod functional and not requiring it.
Also as I'm working more on this (I am!) I can already see that there's a good chance it can use, but not require Royalty.

Also balance. Once I figure out the C#, there will be seriously negative things to the trees, and equally positive ones at the same time.

It does so far, but once I figure out how to write code in C# then the answer will be no.

It requires Seeds Please due to me not having figured out how to reverse-engineer her code to make trees unable to be planted or even show up in the growing list unless you have a seed, which is important for the story progression I'm working into the mod.

does this actually require seeds please?

Sarg's new big update broke my mod due to the ocular jellyfish's ocular gas now being part of a different mod, which means my mod can't reference that file in his. I'll get to fixing this as soon as I can. It's all in C# and not XML and that language is mostly what's been holding me back in doing more due to how hard it is for me. Don't worry though, I'll fix it, somehow.

*There is. It's actually one of the things I'm working on, but I haven't learned as much as I need to with the programming language its built in yet.
The next update I have done, but I want to add a bit to it before I upload. So far runs with no errors! It changes the tiberium crystals so random ruin walls aren't made out of them upon new city spawn. If a city has them still standing, they can be deconstructed for the crystals without issue.

The tiberium-only walls and doors glow. I'm going to wait to upload until I get the tiberium floor tiles working right.

Is thier a way you could make a version of this mod without seed please?

Right now they're just placeholders I made myself. Once I get my paypal fixed and my artist paid, there's going to be actual art for the trees and such. So it's planned, but not yet ready.

You should add images of the trees to the mod page.
