Dragon's Medieval Patches

This mod contains an amalgam of patches that I made to customize my Rimworld medieval playthrough. By request from the community, I am making these available on the workshop to anyone who wants a similar experience. You should be able to leave out mods you dont want, therefor I wont set them as requirements. For a reference on which mods are modified, check further down. Until I have made some ingame options for each mod, you will have to make a local copy and edit the XML files to remove any changes you might not want.

The goal of these patches is to:
Change various research to become medieval tech.
Harmonize, merge and split research for bows and crossbows to make it more streamlined.
Alter descriptions and other aspects of buildables/craftables to be more medieval friendly.
Make certain non-stuffable things stuffable (bows and crossbows for instance).
Change some stats on certain things to be more useful.

It all works through the use of xpath patching, and I try to account for absent mods, so it should always work. Let me know in the comments if something misbehaves, as it is rather difficult to simply test every single scenario when so many mods are modified.

There are a lot of really cool medieval themed mods, and others that add cool functionality, but have parts of it blocked by being industrial tech. Because of this, I started to make my own patches to both get better at patching as a learning experience, but also to improve my gaming experience. I also noticed a bunch of craftable weapons were not stuffable, breaking compatibility with some of the other mods I use, and I like variety!

The following changes are made:

A Dog Said... Animal Prosthetics
Makes animal healing research a medieval tech.

A Rimworld of Magic
Making ranged weapons stuffable.

Amrita
Makes Amrita research a medieval tech and becomes cheaper to research.

Apothecary (Continued)
The coal fueled smithy can now craft a lot of things from other mods, that the regular smithy already can.

Arrow Please (Continued)
Making bows and crossbows stuffable. Bows and crossbows can be made of "Woody" stuff, where crossbows can now also be made out of anything "Metallic". I also establish a separate "Fire Arrows" research, and make weapons require both the bow type and fire arrows research to become craftable. Fireshot longbow from "Medieval Madness" is also subject of this change. Bows and siege equipment research is also split, where bows and crossbows get merged into the Medieval Madness research where appropriate.

Carpets++ 1.3
Remove electrical wires from carpets, as well as the steel cost that they originally have.

Fertile Fields [1.1]
Makes "Terraforming" research medieval tech.

Fortifications - Medieval
Makes castle walls and reinforced ditches stuffable with "Metallic".

Raise The Roof 1.3
Makes "Overhead Mountain Removal" research medieval tech.

Medieval Madness: Tools of the Trade
"CraftingWorkBench" has been added as a valid craft spot for all bows and crossbows from other mods. The stat modifiers of the tools have been tweaked to offer more diversity and specialization, as well as more utility for those that felt lacking.

Medieval Prosthetics
Prosthetics can be made in more places, if the relevant mods are present.

Crafting Work Bench (Medieval Madness)
Charcoal Smithy (Apothecary)
Electric Smithy (for non-medieval-only runs, cause why not?)

Simple Material Weaves
Makes all research medieval tech.

[SC]Thrumbo Horn Weapons
Thrumbo bow and thrumbo horn blade are now stuffable.

Tribal Warrior Set!
War bow is now stuffable with "Woody"

Vanilla ore commonality double
(can be disabled in "More Mod Settings")
Doubles the commonality of vanilla ores. Useful when adding modded ores:

compacted steel 1.0 -> 2.0
silver ore 0.1 -> 0.2
gold ore 0.07 -> 0.14
uranium ore 0.12 -> 0.24
compacted plasteel 0.05 -> 0.1
jade 0.065 -> 0.13
compacted machinery 1.0 -> 2.0

Vanilla Factions Expanded - Medieval
Merges the heavy crossbow research into that from "Medieval Madness". Also makes the heavy crossbow stuffable with "Woody" and "Metallic" stuff.

Vanilla Weapons Expanded - Tribal
Sling is now stuffable out of "Fabric" and "Leathery" stuff.

There is no removal of research, nor is there anything that limits higher tech research etc. I recommend using Rimedieval for that.

I always suggest that you put patches towards the bottom of your modlist.
