WOLF Resources should be exposed to the player in cfg files.

[ProgrammerFailure]

Currently, the WOLF Resources seem to be defined in the actual code of the mod. Ideally, they would be defined in cfg files, with something like a WOLF_RESOURCE node.

Distributions could be defined in WOLF_PLANETARY_RESOURCE or WOLF_GLOBAL_RESOURCE nodes.

This would allow adding custom recipes for WOLF, customizing WOLF through MM patches, and turning it into a framework for abstracted resource gathering. It would also let mods use WOLF for their own needs.

I think this would be really useful and improve the player experience.

Nope. WOLF uses CRP (CommunityResourcePack) just like MKS and many other mods. If a resource is available in CRP, it's available to WOLF.

Distributions could be defined in WOLF_PLANETARY_RESOURCE or WOLF_GLOBAL_RESOURCE nodes.

Resource distributions are based on the stock resource distributions, which are informed by CRP for non-stock resources. The planetary and global distributions can already be adjusted via .cfg files.

This is already possible. The recipes in WOLF are setup in the .cfg file for each WOLF part. Other config options are available in the WOLF.cfg file in the root of the WOLF folder.

@tjdeckard Could you clarify where I can add my own resources? For example, I want to add WBI graviolium to WOLF. How do I do that? Can it only support CRP? I.E, is it hardcoded for CRP?

[tjdeckard]

If you're wanting to create brand new resources that don't already exist in CRP, there is a way to do that but I don't remember how off the top of my head. It's just a config file, iirc. CRP builds on top of the stock resource system in KSP. So CRP would actually be a good place to look to figure out how to add your own resources, set their abundance, etc. If you can get the stock resource system to see your resource as a resource, then it can be used in WOLF (...after you add it to AllowedHarvestableResources in the WOLF.cfg file and create MM patches to add recipes for it to the harvesters, converters, etc.).

Side note: If you aren't already on the USI Discord, you might want to pop in. https://discord.gg/FNBwUXRgX8. I'm more likely to see stuff there before I see it on Github.

Ok yeah, i had seen the allowedHarvestebleResources thing, but since wolf resources used DirtVein instead of Dirt, I thought that DirtVein was a different resource defined in the mod.

Thanks for your help, this fixes my problem completely.

Will test soon, sorry to bother you. Is MKS still developed?
