{{:Modding_Tutorials/Under_Review}}

In this simple RimWorld tutorial, we will create a custom drug, complete with its own hediff and sprite.

== Goals ==
In this tutorial you will:

* Create [[Modding_Tutorials/ThingDef|ThingDef]]s for a '''new drug''': xylin, a potent painkiller.
* Assign '''custom stackable textures''' to your new drug
* Create a new [[Modding_Tutorials/RecipeDef|RecipeDef]] to '''craft xylin''', yielding this new drug

== Folder Setup ==
First, you will want to set up your mod folder in this order:

<source>
Mods
└ MyModFolder
├ About
│ └ About.xml
├ Defs
│ └ ThingDefs_Items
│ └ ExampleItem_Xylin.xml
└ Textures
└ ExampleMod
└ Xylin
├ Xylin_a.png
└ Xylin_b.png
</source>

=== About.xml ===
The <code>about.xml</code> is used to register the mod with RimWorld; the template below should act as a baseline.
<source>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</source>

=== Sample Assets ===
You can use these as the example textures:
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout">
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout-section">
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout-subtitle">Single graphic</div>
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout-text">

</div>
</div>
</div>

== Instructions ==
=== 1. Create drug ThingDefs ===
Internally, the addiction system is relatively consistent across all drugs, so we will be using the def block of [[Smokeleaf]] as a template. The XML for [[Smokeleaf]] can be found in <code>Data/Core/Defs/Drugs/Smokeleaf.xml</code>

There are two main defs we'll be working with, the ThingDef for the drug item, and the HediffDef for the effect.

A '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an [[animal]] added by the [[Odyssey DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
{{PAGENAME}}s can be found in {{Habitats}}. They can either be tamed by a [[Work #Handle|handler]] or self-tame in a random event.

{{PAGENAME}}s can be bought and sold in other [[Trade#Faction base|faction bases]] and from [[Trade#Exotic goods trader 2|exotic goods traders]]. {{PAGENAME}}s purchased from traders will be already tamed.

== Summary ==
{{PAGENAME}}s are not pen animals, and must have their tameness periodically upkept by a [[Work #Handle|handler]] of skill at or above 9.

=== Diet ===
Can eat raw meat, corpses, all animal products, meals, all processed foods, and kibble.

== Analysis ==
Tigers can be used for either hauling or as an attack animal. They are slightly more wild than [[panther]] and [[cougar]], meaning they will require more training; however, they are slightly faster, have more health, and produce half the [[filth]]. Biggest issue is actually recruiting them as they are more aggressive and 3 times less likely to appear compared to [[panther]].

The '''hemopump''' is a [[deathrest building]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]] that allows [[Hemogenic]] [[deathrest]]ers to store more [[hemogen]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason = 1) What happens if turned off/runs out of fuel/destroyed/etc part way through deathrest? 2) When does the buff end? When they start deathresting again, by choice or forced into it by low need?}}
{{Deathrest Building Note}}

If the deathrest is completed without interuption, the hemopump increases the amount of [[Hemogen]] the deathresting pawn can store by {{+|25}} until the next deathrest. A [[hemogenic]] pawn can store 100 hemogen before modifiers. The bonus will be lost if the [[Genes#Deathrest|deathrest gene]] is removed from the pawn.

If the hemopump is destroyed while the subject is undergoing deathrest, its bonus will not be applied. However, if the hemopump runs out of blood, the buff will still be applied, so long as said hemopump was active and fueled for more than 75% of the deathrest's duration.

== Analysis ==
Hemopumps increase the amount of Hemogen a [[Hemogenic]] pawn can store, allowing more uses of their [[Genes#Hemogen|abilities]] before needing to [[Bloodfeeder|bloodfeed]] or consume a [[hemogen pack]]. Most of these abilities are related to combat.

How useful this is will depend on playstyle, but the boost is modest either way. Getting a few more uses of abilities like Coagulate may be useful, but pawns already have a high capacity for Hemogen. The starting capacity is 100, and the most expensive ability is only 20 Hemogen, so a pawn must be using 80 Hemogen between refills to warrant using hemopumps. Usually, [[glucosoid pump|increasing move speed]] or [[deathrest accelerator|decreasing deathrest time]] are stronger buffs and thus the priority. Once those options at capacity, then an extra coagulate or five extra longjumps can be a useful addition, allowing sanguophages to rapidly traverse even large maps with long jump and still have sufficient hemogen to expend at the destination.

Hemopumps are one of [[hemogen amplifier|two]] deathrest buildings without a connection cap. If a pawn has a high building capacity, and the other buildings have reached their maximum, you might as well use one. It has a small niche for long [[caravan]]s, extending the time where [[conceited noble]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} pawns with [[Hemogen drain]] can last without bloodfeeding or facing penalties from eating [[hemogen pack]]s.

As with all other deathrest machines, these cost a non-negligible amount of steel and components. Consider holding off on building them until you are more well established and are able to produce steel and components reliably with [[deep drill]]s and [[fabrication bench]]es.

'''Cyclopes''' a type of [[mechanoid]] added by the [[Odyssey DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Biotech|section=1}}
{{Acquisition}}

Dead, friendly cyclopes can also be resurrected at the {{lc:{{P|Production Facility 1}}}} using the "''Resurrect medium mechanoid''" bill. This requires the corpse of the friendly {{PAGENAME}}, {{Icon Small|Steel||50}} [[steel]], and 1 [[gestation cycle]] taking {{ticks|1800}} to initiate.

== Summary ==
{{Mechanoid Summary}}

Dead cyclopes may be shredded at a [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]] for {{Icon Small|Steel||15}} [[steel]], though these values are affected by [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency|mechanoid shredding efficiency]] as well as any missing parts on the cyclops.

Mechs under player control{{BiotechIcon}} require power: cyclopes use 10% of their power per day while active. If set to dormant self-charging, they instead recharge for 1% power / day, without pollution. They recharge in a [[large mech recharger]] (400W), for 50% power/day, creating 10 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

=== As an enemy ===
Cyclopes march into position towards the front lines with their moderately short range until they have a clear line of sight with a pawn or turret, and will then fire their weapon. If their target is downed, they will keep firing until all shots of the burst were shot, meaning a downed entity could take a few extra hits after being downed. The Cyclopes will, however, stop shooting immediately if their target is destroyed or killed, if their target leaves their range, or if their line of sight is blocked.

=== Combat ===
Cyclopes are always equipped with a [[beam repeater]] of Normal [[quality]], which they do not drop upon death. See the [[beam repeater]] page for further information.

Cyclopes have a [[shooting accuracy]] of 96%, equivalent to a pawn with a [[Shooting]] skill of 8. They have a [[melee hit chance]] of 62%, equivalent to a pawn with a [[Melee]] skill of 4.

== Analysis ==
=== As an enemy ===
Alone, a Cyclops doesn't pose much of a threat. Its very long aiming time of {{Ticks|{{Q|Beam repeater|Aiming Time Base}}}} and cooldown of {{Ticks|{{Q|Beam repeater|Ranged Cooldown Base}}}} mean a pawn wielding a regular firearm such as a [[heavy SMG]], an [[assault rifle]], or any gun with a relatively short shooting cycle has the time to fire and leave the Cyclops' range before it can fire on your pawns, making it an easy target to kite.

In a group of mechanoids, or if kiting is not possible, a single burst of a Cyclops can cause tremendous damage and pain to pawns that do not have reliable armor against heat attacks or cover, adding 6% pain for every wound. Since Cyclopes are not as inaccurate as [[centipede]]s, they are more than capable of downing an unprotected pawn in a single burst of their beam repeater. Their health, being the same as a [[Pikeman]]'s, combined with their shorter reach make Cyclopes relatively frail and easy to take down.

Should you encounter Cyclopes, consider kiting them if possible, take cover, and take them down before they get in a troublesome position. If you do not allow them to fire, they pose little threat to your pawns.

Uniquely, the beam repeater dealing less damage to buildings may give them trouble when taking down turrets is required, as they only deal 40% of their usual damage on passable structures.

===As an ally===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Ally analysis inadequate}}
The Cyclops' weapon is identical to the human-equippable [[beam repeater]], which is favorable against humans equipped with heavy armor and shields. However, it is ineffective against hostile mechanoids. Might be preferred when fighting against spacer enemies such as the [[Empire]].

== Trivia ==
* The cyclops, Polyphemus, plays a pivotal role in Homer's Odyssey, the epic of ancient Greek literature from which the name of the DLC that added this mechanoid comes.
* Despite the name of this mechanoid, cyclopes still have two eyes or "sight sensors".
** Additionally, every light mechanoid ([[Militor]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} [[Lifter]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} [[Constructoid]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} [[Fabricor]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} [[Agrihand]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} [[Cleansweeper]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} [[War urchin]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} and [[Paramedic]]s{{BiotechIcon}}) only have one sight sensor.

'''Party spots''' are used to designated a place for [[Events#Party|parties]] to be held.

== Acquisition ==
Party spots do not require a colonist to construct or [[deconstruct]], nor is there a cost, build time, or [[skill]] requirements for placing them. Instead, they are simply selected from the menu and placed directly by the player.

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=How does a party spot get selected - does it take priority over all social point options, how does it get selected if there are mumtiple spots etc}}
A party spot is set to decide where [[colonist]]s have [[Events#Party|parties]]. More than one party spot can be placed, however only one is actually active (i.e. colonists throw parties only around one of the spots).

Party spots are particularly useful when lots of your colonists are [[Hospital bed|hospitalized]]. Having colonists in [[bed]] near a party still counts as attending the party, therefore even immobilized colonists can stay sane. Unfortunately there is no way to predict them or to reliably get parties started.

[[Titles#Bestowing_ceremony|Bestowing ceremonies]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} are also performed here if they do not require a throne room and none is assigned to the pawn to be bestowed upon.

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Missing Analysis}}
Party spots may be used to ensure that colonists have easy access to [[social drugs]] and [[meals]] during the festivities.
