CompProperties_ConvertResourceToThing - Vanilla-Expanded/VanillaExpandedFramework GitHub Wiki

Take input from net, convert it to a thing pawn can haul and use.

Below, an example of the comp, the building do not need to tick.

<li Class="PipeSystem.CompProperties_ConvertResourceToThing">
  <pipeNet>VCHE_ChemfuelNet</pipeNet>
  <!-- ThingDef to spawn -->
  <thing>Chemfuel</thing>
  <!-- 1 spawned is 1*X removed in the net -->
  <ratio>X</ratio>
  <!-- Default max stack size, it won't output past that number -->
  <maxOutputStackSize>10</maxOutputStackSize>
</li>

You will also need to add to your def:

• <thingClass>Building_Storage</thingClass>

•  <building>
     <preventDeteriorationOnTop>true</preventDeteriorationOnTop>
     <ignoreStoredThingsBeauty>true</ignoreStoredThingsBeauty>
     <fixedStorageSettings>
       <filter>
         <disallowNotEverStorable>true</disallowNotEverStorable>
         <thingDefs>
           <li>Chemfuel</li>
         </thingDefs>
       </filter>
     </fixedStorageSettings>
     <defaultStorageSettings>
       <priority>Important</priority>
       <filter>
         <disallowNotEverStorable>true</disallowNotEverStorable>
         <thingDefs>
           <li>Chemfuel</li>
         </thingDefs>
       </filter>
     </defaultStorageSettings>
   </building>

•  <inspectorTabs>
     <li>ITab_Storage</li>
   </inspectorTabs>

• <surfaceType>Item</surfaceType>

If your building have this comp. Use the GetComp<CompConvertToThing>() method. Then you have access to:

public bool CanOutputNow
public int MaxCanOutput
public Thing HeldThing

/// <summary>
/// Spawn X things
/// </summary>
/// <param name="amount">Amount to spawn</param>
public void OutputResource(int amount)

And everything inherited from CompProperties_Resource;
