In this tutorial, we're going to be learning how to add your own flooring to the game using the resource which we created in the last tutorial.

==Prerequisites==

You should have read the [[Modding Tutorials/Getting Started|Getting Started]] tutorial, which gets you up to speed with how mods are structured in RimWorld. You should also have a good understanding of where files are located (such as <code>About.xml</code>, def XML files, where you should put textures, and so on).

You should also have a look at the [[TerrainDef]] article, which should clear up any concerns you have on the attributes we'll be using below.

== Making the folders ==

You have completed the [[Modding Tutorials/Items|Items]] Tutorial.

After you have made your mod folder from the [[Modding Tutorials/Getting Started|Getting Started]] tutorial, you will need to create a new folder in which will contain your new flooring xml. Inside your <code>Defs</code> folder create a new subfolder called <code>TerrainDefs</code>. You're now done as far as creating folders go.

== Creating the new flooring (Titanium example) ==

In this example, we'll be making a new titanium flooring using the titanium resource which we created in the last tutorial! Your file should now look like this (if you're making a titanium flooring like me) :

<source lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<TerrainDefs>
	<TerrainDef>
		<defName>TitaniumFloor</defName>
		<Label>Titanium Flooring</Label>
		<RenderPrecedence>210</RenderPrecedence>
		<Description>A lovely</Description>
		<TexturePath>Things/Buildings/Floors/WoodFlooring</TexturePath>
		<Beauty>NiceTiny</Beauty>
		<SurfacesSupported>
			<li>Light</li>
			<li>Heavy</li>
			<li>SmoothHard</li>
		</SurfacesSupported>
		<WorkToBuild>50</WorkToBuild>
		<DesignationCategory>Structure</DesignationCategory>
		<Fertility>0</Fertility>
		<CostList>
			<li>
				<thingDef>Titanium</thingDef>
				<count>2</count>
			</li>
		</CostList>
		<ConstructionEffect>ConstructDig</ConstructionEffect>
		<AcceptTerrainSourceFilth>True</AcceptTerrainSourceFilth>
	</TerrainDef>
</TerrainDefs></source>

To find out what each line does and there options, have a look at [[TerrainDef|TerrainDef]]. There you can also find more lines.

== Testing ==

Let’s test our new mod! Fire up RimWorld, making sure to turn on <code>Development mode</code> in the options menu. Open the mods menu and make sure your mod is ticked (For active), and then press the tilde key (~) to check for any errors thrown on runtime. That’s right, no errors! Enjoy your new flooring!

You now know how to: 
* make a simple flooring
* know most of the TerrainDef's global attributes and their functions with the optional choices
