OK, everything is updated, sorry for the wait. Have fun out there!

Okay!

Looks like after all these years there is a change to the XML format I will need to look at. I'll try to get to it in the next day or so, sorry.

Damn its been 7 years since you posted this mod and you've been keeping it up to date since 0.18. Good on ya!

Thank you :)

I just confirmed it, I'm making the proper update package now, but it works as-is

Can any confirm that this works okay in RimWorld 1.4?

oh nice thank you , I will check incase it doe work anyway

@Teamaly
its almost certain to work as is, due to its simplicity but I'll try to get some time this weekend.

Please consider updating this

Thank you so much for updating this!

now with 1.3 goodness.

Updated for 1.1, sorry for the delay.

Does this work in 1.1?

I came here for the pizza rolls in the picture

Finally! Thank you! One of the most infuriating quirks I had with vanilla is solved! So many cookies for you!

Thank you! Looking forward to putting it to use.

Awesome! Thanks!

ok, all updated, it was easier than I thought.

yes, I'm hoping to get a chance this weekend

1.0?

Thank you SO much! A mod that makes sense! I don't know of ANY real-world sandbag that's made with steel.

Yo, just wanted to say that i had been using the mod without issue b4 the new update, however thanks for updating it :)

Ok, sorry for the delay, I'm back to Rimworld now. Everything is updated for v18 as well as a fix for the broken raids (see update above)

Please update. Thanks!

update the mod please <3

Works with B18

I really liked this mod but it broke pirate sieges. It felt too much like cheating because the pirates would leave free mortar rounds without buildig their own artillery.

ay boii theres a small startup warning that looks easy AF to fix:

I'd like to point out that different HP based on material does make more sense than universal HP. From experience: sandbags that have gotten wet and dried several times over become hard, sometimes like concrete, and they're a lot harder to punch through than freshly filled bags with dry dirt. Are they moveable, and if not will they ever be?

Found a bug that I'm pretty sure is caused by this, it sounds related to the error you mention in the description. After adding to an existing save with vanilla sandbags, choosing an old sandbag and 'build a copy' vanishes my entire UI menu system. Architect, Work, Research, Menu, all the tabs are gone. No way out but quitting to desktop and reloading. I assume it's because it can't find the object it's meant to copy since vanilla bags don't really exist anymore. No idea why it makes all the menu tabs vanish though.

Can the recipe inculde textiles? Bcoz sandbags need Bag to hold them.

@Goalie; it's probably the categorized "stuff" breaking sieges. Vanilla siege is already coded to read <costList> on recipes; maybe it just doesn't understand <stuffCategories>.

I know that sieges are correctly reading recipe costList, because a siege with the following patch works (the stuff thingdefs were from Fertile Fields Concrete): https://pastebin.com/raw/TXZ4QvhQ

Thanks for the explanation Goalie, but this is a huge error and a missplan in the mod. It causes bugs to the AI probably because they are written to use only certain ammount of Steel for sandbags and also the mortars, thats a comfusing part...

Sadly this isn't a code based mod, it's an XML mod. It just changes 2-3 lines of XML and thats it. The only real way around it without writing a bunch of code is to make a new sandbag (i.e. NewSandbags) that uses these settings and leave the old sandbags for the AI. the real question is why cant the AI use this?

I get the same bug with Sieges with this mod installed.

Goalie, I would like to talk about this mod and the bugs it gives to the player. Whenever you get sieged pwns don't know how to build the sandbags and sieges are bugges therefore fthey don't build mortars and such. I would like to ask if you could re-write the code for the mod because this mod is really helpful. Thank you ^^

Does this mod bug out sieges? I got this error popping out on an AI-built sandbag, and the besiegers aren't doing anything besides walking around. There's no blueprint to build more sandbags or mortars.

Makes no sense to make sandbags from steel.
There. Is. Gravel & Rocks. In. The. Game. FFS.
-here is hoping you get your mod in vanilla.

Nice work, thank you.

nice. downloaded last night, works great for my desert colony (lots of stone, not so much steel).

This has nothing to do with this mod directly; but is Steam censoring the word steel? As in the material? Why the hell?

Also note that now, in A17b, we have effectively the same sand being made in [RF] Fertile FIelds - Concrete, but no sandbags yet made from that sand.

@Goalie, In Alpha 12 we had sand stuff made from chunks and sandbags made of sand stuff. You can still find it as it was left (link below). It just got lost in the alpha-release schedule speed up that happened right before RimWorld came to Steam.

A12d Mod Variety Pack has that sandbag def in its Buildings_Security.xml

https://github.com/simon-82/ModVarietyPack/blob/master/Mods/ModVarietyPack/Defs/ThingDefs/Buildings_Security.xml

As I remember, sand was made on stone cutter's table and the like, and the bags were vanilla with sand replacing steel. In Mod Variety Pack the same sand stuff was used for glass things.

I Agree with KarateKite. And why not adding textile (for the bag)?

I think that chunks should be added as a sandbag material, 1 chunk per sandbag. It makes sense because Hescos are basically big reinforced bags full of sand and rocks and stuff.

This seems to mess up sieger's ability to build sandbags. They put down one blueprint and it's throwing tons of errors. It seemed to throw off their whole script.

Sandbags are not an amazing defensive tool they are ok and dont add to much to a tribal play. They should have stayed colth. The fact there are made out of a stupid material like steel made me scrap sand bags forever and get mods with barbed wire, shields and real defensive structures.

I think sand bags are made out of steel netting and cloth It will have a inner layer of 2 "Lines" Of thick clothe and then steel netting (Like a fire guard) Around all of it and filled with sand for extra protection from sand, Mostly used due to its mobilty and ease without sand, Can be filled with sand when soldier have reached an outpost or other place that might need protection from enemy fire. One of these with "Bricks" for the outside, Makes it a wall not a sand bag. Also the vannila one does not include "cloth" Because of early game balancing due to sand bags made for more early game sulotions to defence.

@ThePatchworkHoax, the same could have always been said of the steel ones, at least now you dont have to waste steel.

When you make a SANDBAG out of MARBLE what is the point? The sand doesn't matter anymore its just a small wall
