Dig Periodically

<- Back

CompDigPeriodically allows an animal to dig in the ground for a given resource

        //A comp class that just makes an animal dig a resource every ticksToDig ticks

        public List<string> customThingToDig = null;
        public List<int> customAmountToDig = null;
        public int ticksToDig = 60000;
        public bool onlyWhenTamed = false;
        //Should items be spawned forbidden?
        public bool spawnForbidden = false;
        //Dig biome rocks. Animal will only dig rocks found on this biome, ignoring customThingToDig
        public bool digBiomeRocks = false;
        //If digBiomeRocks is true, do we also go further and turn those into bricks?
        public bool digBiomeBricks = false;
        public int customAmountToDigIfRocksOrBricks = 1;
        //Is the result a corpse? If so, spawn a pawn, and kill it
        public bool resultIsCorpse = false;
        //Flag to only dig if the terrain is polluted
        public bool onlyDigIfPolluted = false;

How do I use this code?

It is a comp class, so you just add it in XML in the <comps> tag. For example, this allows Gigawigs in Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids to dig around for mineral resources once a day:
