can you make this work with animals? the current mod on the workshop for that is rather trash

Awesome. Thanks for making this.

amazing I wonder why many moders do not make it easier to edit their own buildings like this, heck even they could add a "silence" option to tackle these noisy buildings

Ah, synchronisation duration setting works when I build a new biosculpter pod.

Hi! I have a pb with personal changes I chose. Some settings works and others don't. Synchronisation duration, building costs and remaining work don't change.

Ok so this seems like it must have been asked many times, but to me it always seemed so obvious that the Biosculpter should be changed so that the duration changes on what it's actually doing?? Like if you're healing 2 small cut scars it shouldn't be taking as long as if you're healing several massive burn injuries? Would this be possible? Because like I feel this would totally fix it, make it feel more fair/sensible.

happy to see this again, biotuning is such a silly mechanic

Possible future feature for there to be a way to add a setting that sets a Minimum age for the sculptor? Like a boundary or age limit. For example say I want my colonist to stay around 25yo and my settings for bio sculpting are set to lower the age by 5 years so I can get older colonists younger quicker. If I put one in at 28yo, I don't want them to be 23 I want it to turn off once they hit 25, to keep trans humanist colonists happy with the once a year sculpting. Or maybe a setting that instead of setting a number of years to take off, sets a colonist to a specific age instead?

Seemed to work fine in 1.6, but I recompiled it just to be safe and did some light testing. If anyone encounters any issues please submit a proper bug report.

Unless something has changed recently, the de-aging scaling with the growth rate setting is a vanilla feature, not something I added via this mod.

@00no4 this was the case in <1.6 too, the pod scales by the ageing multiplier by design

Works fine for me in 1.6

I don't know what fixed it because I didn't change anything but my age reversal demand seems to have returned to normal....

I still don't know wether the fact that years de aged scale with the growthrate percentage is an undisclosed feature of this mod. Or a Vanilla aspect that I can't see mention of on the wiki...

So im not sure if this is a wierd vanilla implementation or a side effect of this mod. Or a bug from useing this mod on 1.6

I play at 400% growthrate. And my Transhumanists pawns seem to be demanding age reversal way more then once a year.

I have the mods value set to vanilla and the de aging also scales with the growthrate. So when the biosculper is set to 1 year younger it make the pawn 4 years younger.

I set the biotuning to zero but it did not work. Do I need to build the structure after i have the mod?

thanks for making this mod

Would it be possible to keep the biosculpting schedule, but allow anyone to use a biosculpter? Might be outside the scope of this mod. But I'd love if my colonists would auto assign themselves to use the pod every x days for age reversal, even if its not tuned to them.

@Zargul The issue is because the Harmony postfix patch used the Graying Hair mod for the biosculpter pod assumes that the number of years the pod will have reversed is always equal to what was selected in the game configuration for the adult age multiplier. It's effectively ignoring the age reversal settings in this mod.

There's a major incompatibility with the "Graying Hair" mod (as it conflicts and doesn't allow the Biosculpter to revert the hair colour).

okay, the memory leak was caused by rocketman mod

does anyone experiencing memory leak with this mod?

I assume the options are in the mod options menu, where you go into settings.

This is probably a stupid question, but how do I access those settings if I add it mid-game?

Thanks man, just what I need

hey you should include the mod biopsylink with this one it would be great

Well, seems fixed now but when i said lower i mean "if set to 9 from 10 didn't worked, but to 11 from 10 worked, and unable to go under 11 after that." but of course, i tried that after trying to set it to 0 from 2. maybe the 0 fucked everything at that moment. anyway, thanks for the quick fix. you do an amazing work here.

Would be awesome if you could make a fork of this code and require a 'device' instead that costs advanced components etc. (balanced cost) to increase the speed of the Biosculptors with a decent energy cost to it, like a toolbox sorta idea.

Fix has been pushed up to Steam. Make sure you have the most recent version (3.0.5) by checking the mod setting screen.

@Patient12bis: If by "lower" you mean "remove entirely by setting it to 0" then it appears you're correct. Setting it to any value but 0 still seems to work fine. I'll get this fixed ASAP.

little bug: when you try to lower the number of glitterworld medicine needed the amount doesn't decrease (but it can increase correctly)

@Samuel_Bucher: The pull request with your changes was merged, tested, and pushed to Steam. I did have to make a small change to your changes in the 1.4 source though, as the way it was written there would have required me referencing your assembly. I just changed it to work the same way as in the 1.5 code. You can check the github repo to see what I mean.

Everyone else, please let me know if anything seems amiss. There was a lot of code refactoring done and while everything looks okay, there's always the possibility of something having slipped through the cracks. Remember to include a HugsLib log with any bug reports.

Hey, man. I'm currently trying to make it so that the same choice window appears for the medic cycle since it also has hediffs it randomly heals only one of. However, doing so breaks compatibility with your mod. Would you be willing to accept a pull request from me that adds some compatibility changes?

nice, thank you

Quick shoutout for a new mod that definitely falls into the "Why isn't this vanilla?!" category.

Selective Bioregeneration allows you to select which hediff to heal when putting a pawn into a bioregeneration cycle. Considering the cost and long (default) duration of this cycle it's nice to not have to gamble on what ailment it's going to randomly decide to fix.

Sweet now wont have to use god mode to complete the super long cycles. They are long even with the transhumanist buff. Like its hightech maybe like a day or two tops.. unless you doing regeneration.

lol it was barely half a day, it's fine

Updated to fix that exception being thrown on startup. Apologies it took so long for such a simple fix, but work and life got in the way.

Oh fun. Based on that screenshot I'd guess the names of those compiler generated methods changed again. I'll get that fixed as soon as I can, but real life responsibilities might get in the way in the short term.

I also noticed the exception Flesh Forge mentioned today. It was working fine last night, then I go to play the same file today and the mod just refuses to do anything in my game. Doesn't matter how I change the settings, it only uses the vanilla settings.

Something happened today that causes your mod to throw an exception - I see it's not that you've updated/changed it since 12 days ago, so it's something else more recent that's causing it, but nevertheless the error is thrown by your mod:

thx for the update. mine is pretty simple just adding conditions to heal so I dont think all need to change anything but updating the version

Doesn't seem like they really touched biosculpters at all. The only things I've had to actually update in the code so far are the names of some compiler generated methods that I was patching with Harmony transpilers.

Bear in mind that, as I stated below, I haven't sat down and tested everything relating to the biosculpter and this mod yet. I did just enough to get rid of the errors being thrown on startup, and did some quick verification that changing the mod settings seems to actually apply the changes as intended.

I'm going to try and carve out some time to thoroughly test it this weekend.

question Ive got a biosculpting mod that I am gonna update once the update roles out, (bioreneration adds extra things that the biosculpter heals) anything to note for the update that I should be aware of (I am a rookie modder)

Tentative update for the 1.5 unstable branch is now up. Has not been properly tested yet, but no longer throws errors at you the moment the game loads. Please feel free to report any bugs running this on the 1.5 unstable branch in the new bug report discussion thread for 1.5.

@Inked.: You're unfortunately correct, it cannot be changed via XML patching. The value is actually hard-coded as a constant in the CompBiosculpterPod class. I use Harmony transpilers to replace the default value with my own in the two methods where that constant is referenced.

Question, what is required to change the length a pod is biotuned to someone - speaking from a modding perspective. I'm trying to mod it for myself to change the duration a pod is tuned to a specific person, but I'm not sure where I can find it to change it.

Unless I'm blind, I'm guessing it's not as simple as changing this via xml patch?

ok! thanks man! i didn't knew that, my bad

@Karasu - Based on that log, you have both this mod and Biosculpter Pod and Neural Supercharger Variations active at the same time. That mod wouldn't be compatible with this one as they both make similar changes to the biosculpter and therefore their patches would conflict with one another.

im giving this a try bc I cant seem to fix a bug making my biosculpt patients starve to death without removing things id like to keep
