HOWTO: Add new structure variants

[JasonFJ]

1 COPY REQUIRE BLUEPRINTS TO YOUR MODS FOLDER
1.1 Copy the blueprint you want to make a variant of to your Mods folder, e.g. PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_StandingTorch. You do this by left-click dragging the blueprint to your Mod folder and choosing Copy.
1.2. Rename it to PrimalItemStructure_MyStandingTorch. Compile and save.
1.3. Copy the actual structure to your Mods folder, e.g. PrimalEarth/Structures/StandingTorch.
1.4. Rename it to MyStandingTorch. Compile and save.
1.5. Copy the structures inventory (if it has an inventory) to your Mods folder, e.g. PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Inventories/PrimalInventoryBP_StandingTorch
1.6. Rename it to PrimalInventoryBP_MyStandingTorch. Compile and save.
1.7 Copy the engram which will unlock this to your Mods folder. e.g. PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Engrams/EngramEntry_StandingTorch
1.8 Rename it to EngramEntry_MyStandingTorch

Clever throwing your guides in to your signature. I should have done that when I was helping people out but I am glad someone is making guides There really is not enough time in a day to do everything that I want to do lol.

The devs would prefer us to not mess with the master item list. For adding a structure variant you add it to AdditionalStructuresToPlace for it to be placeable, you add it to AdditionalStructureEngrams for it to be in the craft inventory of things such a smithy or fabricator, add it to Remap_Items if your structure replaces a different structure, add it to Remap_Engrams to replace an engram, and finally add it to AdditionalEngramBlueprintClasses to add a recipe for your new structure (if you didn't remap_engram it).

I don't suppose anyone would fancy throwing together a video on this? If not i might end up doing it, a visual aid is helpful to A LOT of people.

should have a vid..much easier for a newbie like me..

i was stuck in a mod yesterday. luckily i read through the thread and a person mentioned that an asset needed to be linked.

tried it and it worked !!

Just a FYI, the editor will crash if you make your new structure free to build. (At least this is what happens to me.)

Jason pleas read my support ticket I used your tutorial but I am having issue read my post called Urgent Help

I am new to modding and after step 1.8 it becomes very confusing for me. If anyone could help me with some step by step (maybe some visual aid?) I would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to copy the behemoth gateway and make it have a snap point on top. There aren't many guides out there and this is the best I have found but it's a bit too complex for my small brain.
