Following Solidsnake8608's instructions, I made a mod that allows you to change the textures of hot springs in real time https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3205629661

@solidsnake8608 do i make the changes in VTE Texture Variations folder or in the Standalone Hot Springs folder. Asking for a friend.

Hmm @solidsnake you have more?-

@solidsnake8608 Obliged for doing the heavy lifting, so to speak.

You just need to add another entry for each texture, <li>Things/Building/Hotspring/whatever the texture is called</li> so should look like this:
<randomGraphics>
<li>Things/Building/Hotspring/shshotspring</li>
<li>Things/Building/Hotspring/Hotspring_Rtx</li>
<li>Things/Building/Hotspring/3HST_Hotspring</li>
<li>Things/Building/Hotspring/shshotspringduck</li>
<li>Things/Building/Hotspring/EXhotspringJ</li>
<li>Things/Building/Hotspring/EXhotspringE</li>
</randomGraphics>

Enjoy real time texture switching for your 100 hotspring mods

Paste
<Patch>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationConditional">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName = "StandaloneHotSpring"]/comps</xpath>
<nomatch Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName = "StandaloneHotSpring"]</xpath>
<value>
<comps>
<li Class="VanillaFurnitureExpanded.CompProperties_RandomBuildingGraphic">
<randomGraphics>
<li>Things/Building/Hotspring/"Name of hotspring texture here"</li>
</randomGraphics>
</li>
</comps>
</value>
</nomatch>
<match Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName = "StandaloneHotSpring"]/comps</xpath>
<value>
<liClass="VanillaFurnitureExpanded.CompProperties_RandomBuildingGraphic">
<randomGraphics>
<li>Things/Building/Hotspring/"Name of hotspring texture here"</li>
</randomGraphics>
</li>
</value>
</match>
</Operation>
</Patch>

Get VTE Textures Variations, create a folder in Textures named Hotspring, move all of your hotspring mod textures in there, then create a new xml in the Defs folder, named whatever.

If this requires a restart.. why not just swap texture mods? Seems redundant.

so it goes
the hotspring mod itself
this mod
then all the retextures correct?

+1 dropdown menu

Please link compatible mods in the description

You know another way to do this would be to create a dropdown menu and select from there. Just a thought.

Smart job

i approve this

Yah, im more interested in why so many people are interested in hotsprings. Was there a retexture competition some where or something?

A bummer it requires a restart. Was hoping it was like the "Selectable Sculpture Graphic" mod where, after you built it, it would give you a gizmo to select the style.

hey why are there so many standalone hotspring retextures lately

when Vanilla hotspring extended ? Wheen official DLC ?

Does this mean we've reached enlightenment?

Mean

i cant believe we've reached this point
