for those who want to modify R++ or just use it as a way to learn RimWorld modding.

XML merely defines values for existing variables/"components" created and managed in C# libraries. It can't add unique behavior into the game. It can only provide values for existing behavior to use. R++ just defines some item, research, pawn, and building types and provides information on what their stats should be, what jobs they can do, what textures/sprites they have, etc. The behavior of robots (charging, spawning from base-station, etc) is entirely handled by the parent mod: Misc. Robots by haplo.

As R++ contains many files which all interact via DefNames. Bellow is a simplified diagram to show how they all reference eachother, and where to find values

(not including items etc as that's rather self explainatory)
