Editing Modding Tutorials/Items

{{UC}}

In this tutorial, we'll make a simple item. This item will act as a resource that can be hauled around and consumed.

==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).

-== Making the folders ==
-If you haven't already created a ThingDef folder as taught in the [[Modding Tutorials/Getting Started|Getting Started]] tutorial, you will need to create a new folder in which will contain your new item xml. Inside your <code>Defs</code> folder create a new subfolder called <code>ThingDefs</code>. You're now done as far as creating folders go.
-== Creating the new resource item (Titanium example) ==
-In this example, we'll be making a new resource called Titanium. This will be a resource in the game that can be used to make and build other things.
-First of all we need to make it so the game will read this xml and let it know it's requesting new resources be added to the game.
-Start of by making your xml look like this.
-<source lang="xml">
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
-<Resources>
-</Resources>
-</source>
-Now, we need to add a new abstract ThingDef which will be the base properties of the resource.
-Add this Between <Resources> and </Resources>
-<source lang="xml">
-	<ThingDef Name="ResourceBase" Abstract="True">
-		<defName>base_Resource</defName>
-		<thingClass>ThingResource</thingClass>
-		<label>Unspecified resource</label>
-		<category>Item</category>
-		<eType>Item</eType>
-		<resourceCountPriority>Middle</resourceCountPriority>
-		<useStandardHealth>true</useStandardHealth>
-		<selectable>true</selectable>
-		<maxHealth>100</maxHealth>
-		<altitudeLayer>Item</altitudeLayer>
-		<stackLimit>75</stackLimit>
-		<purchasable>true</purchasable>
-		<comps>
-			<li><compClass>CompForbiddable</compClass></li>
-		</comps>
-		<beauty>Ugly</beauty>
-		<alwaysHaulable>true</alwaysHaulable>
-		<drawGUIOverlay>true</drawGUIOverlay>
-		<rotatable>false</rotatable>
-		<pathCost>15</pathCost>
-	</ThingDef>
-</source>
-None of this changes, as we can override everything in the new resource def. Now add this under the new Abstract ThingDef but above </Resource> which should be at the bottom.
-<source lang="xml">
-	<ThingDef ParentName="ResourceBase">
-		<defName>Titanium</defName>
-		<label>Titanium</label>
-		<description>A rare strong and useful metal.</description>
-		<texturePath>Things/Item/Resource/Titanium</texturePath>
-		<interactSound>MetalDrop</interactSound>
-		<basePrice>3</basePrice>
-		<useStandardHealth>false</useStandardHealth>
-		<storeCategories>
-			<li>ResourcesRaw</li>
-		</storeCategories>
-	</ThingDef>
-</source>
-Hopefully, you’ll be able to understand what each property is once you read the page on [[ThingDef|ThingDef]].
-== 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! Now start a new game and activate <code>God mode</code>, then attempt to spawn your resource into the game! In further tutorials we will teach you how to add uses to this resource aswell as add ways to obtain it.
-== Conclusion ==
-You now know how to:
-* make a simple resource
-* know most of the thingDef's global attributes and their functions with the optional choices
