New page

== Modding a saved game ==
This doesnt seem to work anymore. Ive been trying to edit the raws within my save, e.g. renaming my noble positions, and nothing is happening. Id also like to be able to make loin cloths, etc, in my Clothier's Workshop, but could find no raws for it. So I tried to make a new custom workshop in building_custom, at first just copying and renaming the soap maker's workshop as SOAP_MAKER_B, but still nothing.

		+	== Syntax Highlighting? ==
		+
		+	Making use of the SyntaxHighlight extension on this wiki, I added a {{t\|code}} wrapper template to quickly distinguish the code in the guide portion of this page. Usage:
		+
		+	:'''<nowiki>{{code\|</nowiki>'''
		+	:Same as before
		+	:'''}}'''
		+
		+	Thoughts? Do we keep this or get rid of it ? --[[User:Jan\|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan\|talk]]) 20:32, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

		+
		+	== Split ==
		+
		+	Previously the article was tagged [with non-existent template] for splitting, but with no reasons\discussion provided. I think that article should be split.
		+
		+	We need a high level portal that organize and cover all modding resources, especially with upcoming steam release changes to mod structure (separate zip files decupled from saves, steam workshop etc) and influx new and inexperienced modders . With current content of the article, which is essentially a 'Modding Guide', moved under well deserved entry of its own.
		+
		+	I think modding portal should cover or link to (depending on content):
		+	* Game file structure (raw files) and game asset locations.
		+	* Document the various Variables, Modifiers and Triggers (Tokens, Reaction)
		+	* [Future] How to create a mod: Mod folder, Mod file structure, where to host and how to upload/update a mod etc.
		+	* modding tools and advice.
		+	* possibly troubelshooting? just links to game mechanics? just links to development resources.
		+
		+	With every modding article using the {{tl\|Modding navbox}} to ties them all together and allow at glance overview and access to resources at hand.
		+
		+	For reference this is how its done on rimworld wiki: https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Modding, https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Modding_Tutorials.
		+
		+	Any thoughts, suggestions for improvements or objection--[[User:Jan\|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan\|talk]]) 13:31, 2 January 2022 (UTC)?

		+	In the new version, creatures have gaits which talk about how quickly they move, and how. The created creature at the end of the page doesn't have any gaits defined... Do gaits have defaults, or can this creature no longer move?
