New Features:

  • Implements Health Modifier (HediffComp).
  • Implements HealthModifier Capacity and HealthModifierFactor Capacity.

Compatibility:

  • Reworked out mod-compatibility is set up internally, allowing for faster, more stable, development of mod compatibility.
  • Fixed null error in compatibility feature for rollo's DualWield.
  • Fixed issues with compatibility for dll-only mods.

Standalone Frameworks:

The Verb Expansion Framework is a large and powerful framework that modifies the selection and use of ranged Verbs on a large scale. In addition to this core foundation, it provides a number of HediffComp and ThingComp sets that would function perfectly well on their own.

Since there are many mods that would benefit from these minor features and that do not require the core features of VEF, it makes sense to split these features into mini-frameworks. I have been working may through the already implemented features creating standalone version that are compatible with each other and with VEF.

Expect these standalone frameworks to become available soon.

Ongoing Work:

I have also been doing extensive work and experimentation with how these frameworks interact in order to minimise any performance impact and i have been examining the inner workings of the shieldbelt system, which is very complex, in order to try and offer Hediff compatible and race definition compatible versions of it. It is vitally important to me that these features interact with each other in a sensible way, try to maintain the core balance of RimWorld and are as mod compatible as humanly possible.

That said, I have had to slow down development, as this has been a manic five weeks for me. I have put in an average of 70 hours of work to this framework each week, to an estimated total of 350 hours in just over a month. Development has not stopped and is continuing, but hopefully at a more sustainable pace.
