@mnlg, pushed update with the fix for your specific case

Press Windows + R, paste the path from the comment below, and cut paste the whole mod, that should be enough

Not sure how to do that, I assumed you would push the patch onto a new version, but if you won't I'll just patch the file manually if the problem presents itself again.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods

Probably a mod you have added that modifies stuffproperties, but at least its fixed for you now, now i just would move the mod with the change to the rimworld local mods, to prevent the change being removed when steam does its things

Yes once I could identify the correct file, adding the xml wasn't an issue. It seems to be working now: https://i.imgur.com/nrH2v7r.png

Still not sure why it worked for you even before this patch, or at least that's what I gathered from our exchange. At any rate, thank you very much for your attention to my issue.

yep, you dont need a new file, just paste that after the last </Operation> and before </Patch>

Ah, Patches/CompatibilityPatches.xml

Pardon my ignorance, which file should I add that snippet to? Or do I have to create a new file somewhere and if so, which path and which name?

That seems a pretty specific problem, try this patch:

There you go, I see in your case concrete is listed as a possible material but in my case it is not.
Sadly I have no idea why :-D

Cuz what my patch does is:
add the concrete to any building that can be made of stone

and a few more patches for specific cases of buildings that cant be made of stone (like gravships hulls and that), but i cant reproduce your error

could you show me the info tab of a reinforced weall make of any stone?, like the screenshot i posted before?

@NuanKi, welcome back, I can't make heavy reinforced walls with concrete slabs. I could before because I modified the xml file as described below to make concrete slabs metallic. I restored it and now concrete slabs is no longer offered as a material for heavy reinforced walls: https://i.imgur.com/PwUkQm1.png

As you can see other materials are present from different mods, but not concrete slabs

Can you think of a reason why concrete slabs do not figure in the list?

BTw, looks like ill keep that reinforced walls mod for my new playthrough haha

@mnlg i just tested both

and i can make reinforced walls with the concrete slabs
not sure whats the problem in your case

My bad I did not see the link haha

NuanKi, I posted it in my very first message on the topic, you can find it down the comment list :-)

could you post the link to the reinforced walls mod pls?

NuanKi: I understand, I actually used concrete slabs for some modded turrets in 1.5 😅
I guess another way would be to ask the author of Reinforced Walls to accept concrete along with metallic. I hoped I could do that with some rough xml tinkering just like I did for this mod, but I can't seem to find the appropriate place. At any rate, no hurry, even though my solution is not ideal, it satisfies my immediate needs, at this point I am happy to wait for a better solution.

That works, but what it does is it makes the concrete metallic, so it could be used to make turrets of concrete, with ultra high HP
What would have to be done is a patch like the ones I have for VFE
I haven't had time to update several mods this week because of work, but they'll probably all be updated tomorrow.

Hello NuanKi, I managed to have Concrete Slabs appear as a valid material for Reinforced Walls. What I did was modifying the file Items_Resource_concrete.xml and add Metallic as a category under ThingDef > stuffProps > categories. It seems to work fine, my pawns have built a few walls and they look OK. It's the first time ever I try any kind of modding so I might have involuntarily skipped steps or did something unorthodox, still, it seems to work and I thought I'd let you know. Thank you for your attention and have a nice day.

probably, i will look into it

Hello NuanKi, re: Reinforced Walls, How does it look like, do you think it is possible to implement concrete slabs as a material for those walls? Thank you.

Sure, I'll check it out

So I have been using this mod along with Reinforced Walls - https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3215305656 - for quite some time. Up until 1.5 I was able to create the other mod's heavy reinforced walls/embrasures using this mod's concrete slabs, which allowed for extremely high HP walls/embrasures. With 1.6 I don't seem to be able to use concrete slabs as a material anymore. I can see other materials, even those provided by different, other mods, but no longer concrete slabs. Is this new behaviour expected, and in case it's not, can it be corrected? Thank you for your attention.

Can you add a beauty?

Unless another mod you have modifies something

That seems pretty impossible, since the XML specifies it's impassable

I seem to have found a small glitch, but it is hard to call it one because there is no error message at all. It seems that when building Embrasures out of Steel, all pawns can pass through/jump over the structure as if it was just a simple barricade. My colony was almost wiped out by a tribal rush just walking through the wall of my kill-box. I used Impassable Furniture Mod to manually set the Embrasure as impassable, trying to work around the issue, but all pawns try to path through the embrasure and get stuck. Using Developer Mode I rebuilt the Embrasures in different materials and suddenly the issue was gone. Seems building out of Steel causes something weird.

You can add me on Steam if you want

I want to provide a Taiwanese Chinese translation for your module, but when I try to modify your files and directly insert the translated Chinese, I run into many issues. I can help create a built-in translation — how should I contact you?

version X.X\Defs\ThingDefs\ThingDefs_Items
Items_Resource_Concrete.xml
and i used Dub's Paint Shop for easy RGB colors

TY!!

Change this line inside the concrete slabs:
<color>(150,205,210)</color>

Q. do u know how to change the core color(blue) to another? TY! for the update

Fixed

Seems like they changed something in the rebuild mod, will fix it when I get home

I'm at work right now, and I don't know how they implement the broken walls.
But as you can see in the image, it is a simple wall with 70% fill that is impassable
https://imgur.com/a/M31v41u

I guess, that would require drawing new variants of broken walls, too many mods out there – that guys said he won't do it. However, dynamically changing walls is a too cool idea not to have it.

I'll check if it's possible, but it's better if the compatibility comes directly from them

could you please add a compatibilty for this one?

– https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3024527775

Added compatibilty with my new mod: Odyssey: Grav Field Extender Hulls

Added compatibility with ReBuild: Doors and Corners gravship walls

And thanks for the support 😋

If there is any bug it is probably that they do not have an animation of the "Concrete" material being destroyed, which they can fix there easily over there by patching the "concrete" material to give the animations of others material like "Stony" or "metallic".

I'm not sure why they said that, both mods do totally different things, this mod adds a new material and a new wall (embrasures), while the other mod adds animations

here someone says that it may conflict with that mod:

— https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3521404421&searchtext=Blood+Animations

not sure if's really about this mod or not, but anyways.

thanks for 1.6, by the way!

thank you very much
