RJW Cumpilation & Menstruation Compatibility Patch

Features

• Resolves direct conflicts between Cumpilation and RJW Menstruation.
• Integrates relevant mechanics where overlap occurs (e.g., fluid interactions, mood effects).
• Adjusts definitions and patches to ensure both mods function as intended when loaded together.

   • RJW Cumpilation & Menstruation Compatibility Patch (This Mod)
   • Other mods

Compatibility

• Required: RimJobWorld, RJW Menstruation, Cumpilation.
• Designed For: RimWorld versions 1.4, 1.5 (Specify supported versions).
• Known Incompatibilities: None currently known. Please report any issues.

Design Ideas & Considerations

• Configuration Options: Implement Mod Settings options to allow users granular control. This could include toggling specific integration features (e.g., fluid interactions, mood stacking) or adjusting balance parameters.
• Fluid System Integration: Ensure Cumpilation's fluid generation, detection, and cleaning systems correctly account for and interact with menstrual blood from RJW Menstruation without duplication or conflict. Explore potential cross-mod fluid effects (e.g., specific Cumpilation fluids influencing cycles, or vice-versa), being mindful of balance and scope.
• Hediff & Mood Interactions: Review and harmonize Hediffs (health conditions) and mood effects from both mods. Ensure effects stack logically or implement specific interaction rules to prevent unintended consequences (e.g., excessive mood debuffs). Consider if Hediffs from one mod should influence the triggers or severity of effects from the other.
• Hygiene & Cleaning Integration: Verify that cleaning mechanics (from Cumpilation or other hygiene mods) properly handle fluids generated by both mods. Potentially add specific patch support for popular hygiene mods.
• Trait & Gene Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with relevant traits or Biotech genes introduced or affected by either mod. Address how combined genetic or trait effects should manifest.
• Mechanic Balancing: Continuously evaluate the combined effects of patched mechanics. Ensure they remain balanced within the core RimWorld gameplay and RJW's systems, avoiding unintended buffs, nerfs, or exploits.
• Expanded RJW Ecosystem Compatibility: Proactively investigate and address potential interactions or conflicts with other popular RJW sub-mods (e.g., Fertility, Sexperience, Hygiene). Consider expanding the patch scope if significant overlaps are found.
• Patching Strategy: Prioritize XML XPath patching for robustness and maintainability. Utilize PatchOperationFindMod rigorously to ensure patches only apply when necessary mods are active. Consider conditional patching logic based on the presence of other related mods.
• Performance: Maintain focus on performance. Keep XML patches targeted and efficient. If C# becomes necessary, profile carefully to avoid performance degradation.
• User Experience & Documentation: Ensure patched interactions feel intuitive and seamless. Improve in-game tooltips or descriptions where mechanics are integrated, clarifying the combined effects for the user.
• Code Structure (If C# becomes necessary): If C# code is required for future features, adhere to best practices: maintain clear separation of concerns, use Harmony patching effectively and safely, and include comments explaining complex logic.

Future Plans

• Address any reported compatibility issues promptly.
• Investigate potential integrations with other relevant RJW add-ons based on user feedback.
• Refine existing patches for better balance or smoother interaction.
• Expand Mod Settings options based on user requests.
