I just updated the mod with a fairly big update (at least work wise ^^, if you are not interessted in "A Rimworld of Magic" than there is not really much in it):

Version 1.1.0.0 (Changes for Rimworld 1.6+)

- (1.6) "A Rimworld of Magic" support for might and magic lessons which can gain 'magically gifted', classes, class-XP and spells from a level 20 mentor (+ might equivalents) (all configurable). Lesson graphics, room bonus, cast some of the (safe) newly learned spells in class. (configurable)

@jinn in outer space - Nice that it is working for you

@Bepiss - Sounds possible, but is likely also a lot of work ^^

been waiting for this a long time. Never made sense to me why on the rim where manpower is scarce you'd need a private tutor for every kid you wanted to teach but I preferred biotech to CSL. Thanks for this

It would be so cool to have a standalone mod spin-off from this for "college", how 13+ years olds turn into Students and you can train them into specific fields till 17th birthday and graduate them with additional growth moment. Would be so cool.

@Naturtok - Sounds interesting though ^^ and maybe could still work in addition to it (depends of course how much work it is, I have not done much with rituals, to be able to estimate it)

Oh man I was trying to learn how to mod to make something like this using the Ritual Framework (effectively just add a ritual that pawns with decent int and good skill can give an exp and quality buff to ritual attendants every couple of days), but this looks to more or less do the same thing!

@Dylan
I see. Thanks for the explanation!

I just updated the Mod:

Version 1.0.2.2 (Changes for Rimworld 1.6+)

- Fix: Textbooks should now show up correctly when the classroom bonus is calculated


@Evenstar - Good to hear ;D there were also a bunch of people who just didn't care for the children-part was my impression. (yeah, I was a bit disappointed that they didn't get that the configurability was a major part of it, I would have liked to see them implement some of that in the basegame, makes it a nightmare to debug ;D so it is understandable)

@Babaloo321 - With Biotech you are only able to teach children (as far as I am aware, without any mods that may enable that) (you can configure my mod with a age range, so you could teach anyone)
(you can also configure a lot of stuff, how much is learned etc.)

The Bioteach lessons are also sporadic and random, with my mod you can set up an schedule with teachers and students etc.

I also have dynamic textures on the blackboards and table, which make the classroom feel more alive ;D (you can see it in the upper right in the fourth screenshot, with the books on the table and the lesson on the blackboard)

Filling the classroom with relevant stuff actually gives bonuses for the lessons.

(just depends on what you want to see in your game of course)

I'm really curious what issues people had with CSL working with Biotech? I've played with Biotech and the original CSL for many years without issue, and I still prefer the original because of it's extra pregnancy/birth settings so still highly recommend even with biotech

Sorry, but I've been out of the loop on Rimworld DLC for the past few years, but how does this differ from the similar Biotech mechanics?

@Majora - It was long overdue ^^ it does, you should see the learning-need go up slowly when studying, you can also tweak the amount with the option "Learning need multiplier (Biotech)" under "School"

@fi9ate & Splat - Thanks ^^

@Splat - Thanks for the feedback on switching the mods out, I tested it, but you never know ;D



as I written on the CSL-site I will also try and see if I can add lessonst that work with "A Rimworld of magic"

I've always wanted to try out CSL for the school stuff but never did since it seemed to conflict with the Biotech method of handling kids which I preferred. So thank you so much for separating this and giving us just the school function!

Do the school lessons also fulfill the "learning need" for kids? Or do they still need to do stuff like nature running and floor drawings and stuff as well?

THANK YOU!!!! This is such a wonderful tweak!!!! I've always loved your CSL mod, but it was struggling to work alongside Biotech, but I just toughed out it cause I liked the school system. I'm so glad I don't have to compromise anymore!!! Was able to remove CSL through the mod options and swap into this with no issues!!

Always appreciate the good work you do!

Thanks, I enjoyed the learning part of CSL, can't wait to add it back in.
