DBH - Smelly Hole to Fix an Easily Avoidable Deb
I apologize for what you had to go through to end up coming here for help
A simple XML mod to add a no-tech latrine to Dubs Bad Hygiene. Just dig a small hole and you're good. It's gross to look at, it smells bad, and it holds almost nothing, but if you're in an early tech state it's all you got.
I made this because I was playing Ferny's Progression Modpack with the Solo Wild Man start and my pawn's mood kept going down every time they had to do their business behind a bush. I thought it was silly that they even care when they don't know what a toilet is, so I fixed it with a very quick and dirty patch.
This is my first time messing with XML and I'm sure anyone could have done a better job than me. Heck, the release texture is just a cropped and recolored burn pit texture from DBH. If you boot in dev mode, the log will mention trailing whitespaces, if anyone knows how to fix that let me know. Thank you, [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/noxilie]Noxilie[/url], for helping me fix the trailing white space error!

Possible Future Updates
- Hole Latrine can be minified in Vanilla. Will fix if possible. I genuinely don't know how to fix this one and I don't want to pull any more hair out trying.
- Hole Latrine can be made with different quality level. Might remove that. From what I've read, I'd need to disable inheriting comps and only add the ones I want. I don't know how many components I would or would not need for this, so I'm just gonna let some holes be better than others.
- Hole Latrine has a sell value. I'm gonna remove that if I can, but for now please don't make a bunch of them and sell them for easy silver. Or do, it's up to you how you play. Fixed, it has a zero sell value
- Hole Latrine has same capacity as a Pit Latrine. I'll see if I can lower it. A fix is beyond my knowledge. If you can find a way to fix it though, please share.
- Hole Latrine can be attached to plumbing network. This just feels wrong for what it is, so I might remove that if possible. A lore reason has been added to make it make sense. Thank you [url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/relanir]Lini[/url] for the inspiration.
+ A picture has been added, thank you [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/kitazia]Kitazia[/url] for the suggestion.
Preemptive QnA
CE Compatible?
Go ahead and try, I guess it'll work.
Who is this mod actually for?
People who play with heavy tech restrictions and want to use all of Dubs Bad Hygiene's features from start to finish.
Why not just turn off the bladder need until you research latrines?
Eh, this makes more sense. Besides, this makes it harder to justify falling back on using dev mode to build my dream colony or using Character Editor's menu to instaheal my pawns.
Does it work for Bad Hygiene Lite?
I don't know, and if it doesn't I'll see if I can make it work.
As I said, this is my first time messing with xml, and there's definitely a better way to do this; but I had a problem and made a solution. Hopefully next time I can make something that isn't about a makeshift toilet.
