Updates - KonradHeinser/EBSGFramework GitHub Wiki

This page will record the latest updates to the framework, and what said updates contain. If I'm presently working on a major update, that update will appear on the top of the list, and will expand based on what the update is almost guaranteed to contain. To make it a bit easier to read, each major update will also start a new section on this list.

Other Updates

Damage on Removal : Hediff comp that deals damage to the pawn when it's removed

Updating Your Mod From Athena to EBSG Framework

Note: I got permission from Smartkar to absorb the parts of Athena I find interesting/get requested of me. Many mods that rely on Athena Framework in 1.5 will likely require EBSG Framework instead in 1.6 because, at least as of time of writing, Smartkar does not have an interest in continuing to make and update mods. Due to the nature of this change, new saves may be required in certain unpredictable circumstances when shifting from the Athena version to the EBSG version.

  - Rain/Snow Rate Conditional Stat Affecter : Causes the stat factors/offsets to only be active when the map has the right rain and/or snow rate rate

  - Ingestible Give Hediff Based on Severity : Ingestible outcome doer that causes the ingestion to cause effects based on the severity of the hediff added, a completely separate hediff, or a list of a bunch of hediffs

  - Severity by Mental State : Hediff comp that sets the hediff's severity based on whether or not the pawn is drafted, undrafted, or in specific mental states. This will not work with any other hediff comp that sets or changes severity
  - Severity Per Day by Genes : Hediff comp that increases the hediff's severity based on how various genetic requirements
  - Spawn Age Limiter Genes : Gene class that allows you to force any pawn that gains or spawns with the gene to have their age set to a random value in a range if they are out of the desired age range. Ageless is patched with this class by default, but that can be disabled with the settings
  - Temporary Genes : Hediff comp that adds genes temporarily based on the severity. Multiple gene sets can be made to cause the hediff to give genes based on various situations
  - Thoughts About Water : ThoughtWorker that can be tied to traits or genes that sets stage based on nearby water
  - Thought Multiplying Genes : Adds extension stuff for thoughts to receive multipliers to their values based on the pawn's genes
  - Various Explosion Hediff Comps : Create hediffs that cause explosions when the pawn dies, is damaged, or damages something. All types use the same options, so they are all on the same page
- Updates
  - Equip Restrict expanded to include options for stopping pawns from equipping all equipment, all weapons, or all apparel
  - Expanded Biome Genes to include options for amazing biomes, great biomes, terrible biomes, and abysmal biomes

January 14, 2024
- Added Multiple Lives : Hediff comp that allows you to create a reviving pawn with options for how many lives they have, how the pawn regains a lost life, if applicable, and how long it takes for them to get back up
- Expanded Opinions About Genes to be able to create xenophiles/xenophobes
- Added Offset Needs Ability : Ability comp that offsets the need level of all need defs you specify. Includes option for multiplying specific offsets by a stat value
- Added Biome Genes : Genes that offset needs and add hediffs based on what biome the pawn is in. Also includes options for water near the pawn (while in a map) and effects while it's raining
- Bug Fix for Skill Changing Genes. They now take effect a couple seconds after spawning to ensure other stuff is taken care of first, like gene randomizers
January 11, 2024: Major update of various parts
- New things
  - Burst Attacks : I know a lot of mods have created abilities that create explosions around the caster, but for this ability comp I went a bit further and went through every single option explosions can have, and added tags to customize the explosion
  - Ingestible Dependency Genes : Create dependency on any ingestible things. This accepts both thing defs and thing categories, and will check ingredient lists (if enabled) to see if a meal the pawn consume happens to fit the criteria
  - Faction Bond : Sets the severity to be equal to the number of people in the faction on the current map that have the hediff. Doesn't work with anything else that changes hediff severity for obvious reasons
  - Long Distance Teleport : An upgraded version of the vanilla farskip that replaces the Royalty hard-code with more customization options, from the effecters and sounds to creating a maximum distance and navigator free teleportation
  - Love the Caster : Works similar to word of love, but only makes the target feel opinions about the caster
  - Opinions About Genes : Makes it so everyone feels specific emotions about the carrier of a gene/genes
  - Severity by Nearby Pawns : Sets the severity based on the number of nearby pawns. Can be customized to only include humans, only include player pawns, and only include non-player pawns
  - Skill Changing Genes : Create genes that alter the passion and level of skills you choose, or completely random ones. This allows for skill changes to be added directly to individual genes so you don't have to rely on the template system
- Updates
  - Blood Drain can be psychic. This can be added to the comp the same way it would be added to any other ability comp
  - Dynamic Resource Genes gains a cost factor stat (for CompProperties_AbilityResourceCost), and a passive regeneration/drain stat (attached to the main gene)
  - Give Multiple Hediffs can be psychic. The psychic effects can be applied globally like normal ability comps, or on specific hediff sets
  - Hediff Adder is extended to include all gene classes added by the framework, including hive genes and additional fertility by age. It is built directly into those classes, so nothing new needs to occur to use the hediff adder
  - Gene Randomizer gains removeHediffAfterwards (Default True). When set to false, the hediff in question will try to stick around after creating genes. Should only be set to false if there are other purposes for the hediff that can't be satisfied by adding multiple hediffs

December 25, 2023 : Hediff Adder now can work with Hemogenic Drain genes(with a special class), and both the initial DRG gene, and any drain genes they use
December 21, 2023 : Hediff While Moving gained severity fade options
December 17, 2023 : Hediff While Moving gained severity stuff
December 16, 2023 : Official release
