No, something that adds easy adding of Lab Researches for example, because I can’t get it to work by myself
But I am not dissapointed with these

Well that could be done using the UltimateLib. A workshop edition will be out very soon, so that you can add a new lab research by writing:

var myRnD = {
        id: "UniqueID",
        name: "Research Name".localize(),
        pointsCost: 1000, //Research cost, this is gathered over time and the speed is controlled by the lab budget. 
        canResearch: function (company) {
            return (a.staff.length == 3); //Returns a boolean value. Perform flag checks here.
        },
        iconUri: GDT.getRelativePath() + "/images/yourImage.png", //Path to icon for your research.
        description: "Description of your research.".localize(),
        targetZone: 2, // HardwareLab: 0, RndLab: 2
        complete: function () {
            //Stuff that happens when the research completes.
        },
       repeatable: false // Allows the research to repeat after it's been completed.
   };

UltimateLib.Research.addRndResearch(myRnD );

For more information please take a look at:

(this docs need an update, too, but most of it will stay)

Yeah, I understand, but I would like it to do non-UltimateLib. It’s not that I hate it or something, but I wanted to do something with it after Steam Workshop is done.

#24

You have the choice :wink:

  • Use UltimateLib

or

  • Just take a look on how we did it in ultimatelib, and try to brew your own implementation then :wink:
#25

Choices? Well, Easy, or Hard that will never work. Haha, Alright.

#26

Are you sure about the second choice? ‘Steal’ the code or something?

What do you mean by a custom mod folder?
If your talking about a folder to place all the code and stuff for your mod, then yeah, you just make a folder.
