you're the GOAT

I ended up diving in to things .... the problem we were facing was actually the Refueled Signal sent from the Refuel method, and how CompGlowable processes it, which is super slow.

I assumed that 1.6 tick intervals applied to refuelable comps but I soon found out I was wrong. I'll add the support to 1.6 eventually but I just haven't had the time recently. Hopefully I'll be able to make some progress on that and the bugs people are mentioning

Is the source for the harmony version still available? The github link does not go anywhere. I think being able to disperse or delay checks is preferable to just removing fuel consumption. I was looking forward to using chemfuel lamps from Appliances expanded, but got a tip from a friend that made a hundred of them that they are laggy just like torches, even though they are fueld from the pipe network.

I think a mod that optimizes CompProperties_Refuelable to tick less often is super useful for things like this.

Ravayen - I'm getting this too.

Actually now that i've looked closer it's any wall torch that isn't on the north gets reset to north facing as if the rotation isn't being saved and it resets to default.

Odd bug but since installing this every time i exit the game and reload half of my wall torches get rotated off the wall...

For others: uninstall and reinstall your torches and whatnot, and they'll do what they're supposed to and not need to be refueled.

Thanks, that fixed it! You rock.

Posted a report about the issue he mentioned, it includes why they are just standing still, it occurred for me since yesterday

If it continues after this patch, please post a description of your issue and your log in the Bug Reports discussion.

Since the last update this morning everything is showing as not fueled, even if I deconstruct and rebuild. i.e. can’t do ritual at campfire because it thinks it’s not fueled, even when brand new. Also causing “standing” pawns.

love this mod for really cool configuration window.
only 1 problem which is already mentioned - after starting/restarting rimworld you have to load your savegame twice. Because at first load evrything will be turned off and require wood/etc like this mod isn't installed.

Save and load again is fixing it.

Not sure if it's a bug just for me or not. but upon loading into a save. all the torches i placed before are burned out and have to be refueled again, it's not saving it or something.

But thank you very much for the 1.6 update and for working to keep this mod going! I like using it a lot.

The menu option works very well - I just click and it toggles the item from one list to another, but I'm having the same problem Onyx is. The in-game effect is to turn off refueling, not disable the need. I can turn refueling back on, so my lamps still work, but I'm needing to supply them with wood now.

Doesn't actually fix the non refuelable part, as all it does is disable me from refueling, then they run out and I'm stuck with a lit out torch

And I thank you

@Annabelle I stand corrected, enjoy adding and removing things from the settings

@Tsornin me too! when doing a pre-electricity playthrough my colonists would constantly just forget to refuel the torches (and passive coolers) even when I had a dedicated hauler, so i have to manually order them to be refueled so it isn't dark all the time (which is a big hassle)

Any update on 1.6? Or any recommendations to use for now? Just want to disable the wood refuelling as its annoying

It's proving trickier than I thought so it probably wont happen soon

Are there any updates on adding or removing items from the list in the settings?

If that's the case then the comp removal should still work since there's no changes to how the defs work. I just wont be adding the 1.6 tag until I verify it

Same

(If I'm being honest I never used it to reduce tick - just reduce the hassle of refueling....) If you happen to update it, I will happily use it :)

Eventually yes though the tick optimizations in 1.6 may make this mod obsolete

Hello. Thank you for this mod. Are there any plans for updating to 1.6?

Thank you that helps!

You just need to add <li>campfire</li> and whatever the defName of the swamp cooler in the thingDefs area for the ForceRemove like this:

<thingDefs>
<li>Campfire</li>
<li>SwampCooler (or whatever it is)</li>
</thingDefs>

I'll try to add that feature when I've got time and figure out how that works

I know it's cheesy but I'd like to add the campfire and swamp cooler to the force remove list. I found the whitelist.xml in the folder but I'm not sure how to do it. If there's a way to do it from the mod settings I couldn't figure it out.

Similar, but different methods. Tweaks galore relies on things to have that ring that shows you how far the light reaches to determine if they're lamp but not every modded light source will have that. This one relies on several criteria to figure out if something is a light source.

is this and the "lagless lamps" setting from "tweaks galore" the same thing?

Thanks for the heads up, I've patched that issue.

Gonna switch to just using the lag free lamps options in Tweaks Galore, looking at the comments it seems like this mod is very much still in development and not complete yet.

Also, for anyone out there, the description doesn't say it specifically, but this is safe to remove from your save.

Chemfuel Powered Generators are not consuming fuel despite being in the "Will not be patched" list of this mod's mod options page.

Those items were being ignored because their heatpersecond was 6 while the default threshold was 5. I've raised the default to 10 since it doesn't need to be that low anymore so they should start getting included

im just reporting the sepulchral brazier and statue from Dark Ages: Crypts and Tombs somehow fell through the crack and still have a refuelable comp on it. Awesome mod btw

Awarded. Haven't seen a mod in so long that had a noticeable improvement on my game speed to this degree. Especially with the option to have it not fully get rid of the refuel mechanic all together. Thank you for your service to the community.

@King Matt, you've actually brought to my attention that cooling sources get included in the comp removal. Thank you!

@darknesswei, can you post your error log to the Bug Reports thread with a description of your issue?

can't close mod setting UI to change

Created and tested a patch for The Profaned:

If you would like to officially integrate it I am happy to send it over. Link below:

@Beny, It's fixed now

@beny, I'll take a look at that

It appears that production buildings like campfires, manual stove, deathrest buildings and similar modded ones, which consume fuel on being used, all consume fuel much faster, without ticking less often, making them all practically unusable

Hell yeah thanks for this, seems to work fine so far

The slower fuel burn was a bug but its fixed now so it shouldn't affect it anymore

If I turn off remove comp it burns fuel but with a slower tick rate.which would slow down getting the upgrades.

So with the wood-fire arcs, you need to burn wood. After burning a set amount, you can upgrade it to get more power. Since this mod removes the need to fuel it, I can't upgrade it.
