The mistake is in the Thoughts.xml, it is checking if Biotech is owned, instead of Ideology

Could not resolve cross-reference: No Verse.ThingDef named DA_BloodflameSepulchralReliquary found to give to VEF.Buildings.ThoughtGiverByProximityDefExtension

whenever i want to do a quest that involves DankPyon_OpportunitySite_MediumRuin or Smallruin it always ends with "After being discovered, the bandit camp has dispersed. The quest The Marauder Camp has ended", thus ending my quest without any reward

It would seem sepulchral statues are obscured by gravship hull walls, cuts it in half if the hull is north to the statue.

Can you make the objects paintable?

is anyone else having the darklight sepulchral reliquary not showing relics? i haven't tried with other reliquaries and its not a vanilla relic so it could be a mod incompatibility..

I found that a mod named "Sense of Depth for Tall Buildings" helps a lot with the visual issues regarding the added buildings appearing inconsistently behind/under other structures. Link:
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3246956515

Kinda disappointed that it doesn't look like these can be rotated. So you can't, therefore have the brazier sepulchral statue flanking a lateral doorway in a way that makes sense.

@Aarmik I have the same problem.

Does anyone else have an issue where the buildings from this mod are visually behind/under walls and other buildings? This is the only mod affected and I don't remember having this issue in 1.4 or 1.5.

The Emporer approves!

In the folder 1.5 there is a Thoughts.xml with the code:

This is throwing me an error when loaded with both Biotech (or Ideology) and Vanilla Expanded Framework. The error is:

Part 5 of 5

By removing the code in Thoughts.xml I was able to bypass the error.

Mods Used to Test (in order):
Harmony
Core
Biotech
Dark Ages : Crypts and Tombs
Mod Manager (Continued) - By Fluffy
Vanilla Expanded Framework

I also tested by loading your mod after VEF. The error did not resolve. I did NOT test with Ideology though, based on the code in other places in your mod, I would assume it works with either Biotech or Ideology.

does any of these give bonus to psyfocus gain for psycaster who have the grim focus thingy ?(cannot remember the real name at the moment.
or ideologies that like grim styled things?

do these spawn naturally too?

My bad, I didn't read the description text and expected it to behave like the vanilla reliquary. Thanks for the answer!

@Azraile Works perfectly on my end.

As for the second part, you can make a local copy (or patch) and go in the mod folder 1.5/Mods/SepulchralReliquary/Defs/Buildings_Reliquary and tweak the <containedThingOffset>(0,-100,1)</containedThingOffset> and set the -100 to 0. (Yes the relic is stored 100 layers underground, just to be safe)

Yah righting clicking on the reliquary gives shows like there is no relic, doing it on a normal one shows to install the relic normaly and i would rather the relics float over the box than not show up personaly.

@stalksetcup I have no idea but i'd assume it works fine

@Azraile Right click on the reliquary

@iGeo unfortunately no, it's in the silver box. I originally wanted the relics to show up but couldn't due to how the north-sprite is so i had to go for that option.

Question: will this mod have problems with the game style "Development from the level of savage development to the technological future" where the Neolithic and Middle Ages fragment takes up only half of the game?

I couldn't get my pawns to even place them in the reliquaries at all.

It's just me or relics don't show up on these beautiful reliquaries?

@MilkyFresh @fr0 Sorry i hadn't received any sort of ping for the latest comment until fr0. It shoooould be fixed, do tell me if it isn't or you encountered some weird errors along the way

@MilkyFresh I have the same issue. I also have no idea how to make them.

For some reason my throne rooms require the darklight sepulchral statues. Any idea what might be causing this?

I was waffling if I needed this mod or not. Then I saw your kofi banner at the bottom and went, yeah, this person is hilarious, I need it.

Does the Braziers from this work for VFE-Empire throne rooms?

@glenninjapan No problems, have a good one

Thanks for taking the time to look into it, and as the aesthetic of the mod is awesome for building tombs I will be more than happy to just avoid building the skeleton statues and keep using the other stuff. Again, thanks for your time, much appreciated.

@glenninjapan Just ran a quick devtest with the aforementioned mods and i still can't replicate the error. I don't know what kind of sorcery there is in your game, but to throw a wall of text on a copy-paste of vanilla XML is something

It is definitely only happening with skeleton statue. just god modded all the other items from Dark ages, saved and reloaded and had the same errors pop for the skeleton statue. So easy solution, I just wont build them :) Mod is too nice to rmove for that

have done a clean install of rimworld and the mentioned mods below, and upon reloading get the same errors popping up. Hope this all helps, and sorry for the inconvenience.

getting the error again with all mods disabled, aside from prepatcher, harmony, fishery, better log, performance fish and hugs lib. Was able to build the statue straight away also without requiring the dark ages research.

hope this helps,

@glenninjapan Oh it's totally a conflict but i can't seem to find what it is. I don't know who's the culprit but it's quite a fit to throw a wall of red text over a copy of a vanilla statue with a different graphicpath, description and such

I'm guessing it's more than likely a conflict, will try it with only this mod on sometime to see if I get the error. Thanks for the reply. Will let you know how it goes

@glenninjapan Don't really know why it'd do that, it's a simple XML statue which works perfectly on my game and every game i played, there's no world it should even manage to create an error.

Tried to make the statues again using slate and got the same errors.

getting a slew or red errors for the statues like this

Tried to register the same load ID twice: null, pathRelToParent=/lastUser, parent=DA_SkeletonStatue994288
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()

and

Could not get load ID. We're asking for something which was never added during LoadingVars. pathRelToParent=/lastUser, parent=DA_SkeletonStatue994288
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()

Will try and make the statues out of a different material and see if I get the same error.
hope the log helps.

Seconding the request for Wall Tombs to allow funerals.

multiplayer is ok?

Can you add a funeral type for the wall tomb?

Hah, I noticed it when I was scrolling down to comment and was shocked I'd somehow never noticed it in-game. Turns out I'm not crazy!

The wall tomb is such a great addition. Columbariums FTW!

@Unfaventia it was a small update, just added in some wall tombs (i do forget that changelogs are a thing for mods)

Are there any change notes for the update just pushed out on steam, or anywhere I've missed we can view them? Love the gorgeous furniture/objects in this mod

@Fluffer It does not, just launched both the game and a savefile with the reliquary and no errors occured. I don't think the reliquaries could cause a unity error even if it tried.

So most likely a weird interaction with one of your other mods.

Looks like the Reliquary is causing unity errors on launch.
