Modding / Re: Misc modding questions that are too minor to warrant their own thread

My question is how would it be possible (if at all) to rename a context menu option (right/left click menu on a Building), or even perhaps remove, change behaviour or add a new option.

Ahh, these really aren't configurable, the upgrading/downgrading works along a pretty set pattern. You might be able to do something with the 2nd building being "upgradeable" to the first, though - then it'd take time to "downgrade" (via an upgrade) so it'd probably be closer to what you want.

But "it takes time to shut down", I can't see how to make work, offhand. Just in general, that menu isn't very configurable, aside from being able to take custom special items.

Dang, no luck with the menu.
Fortunately, I did manage to do what I wanted to do with the delayed shutdown/effects in a kinda hacky way, but if it works it works!

Anyway, thank you  !

Hello!

Recently I have been working on a mod that adds an Industry which effects kick in after a cycle. For that, I made two separate buildings:

• MyIndustryBuilding - 60 days to build, after it's completion it automatically starts upgrading to (2):
• MyIndustryBuilding_Complete -360 days to finish upgrading. If the player cancels the upgrade mid-way the construction progress doesn't drop to 0 but it starts decreasing until it reaches 0 and destroys itself. If it finishes upgrading its effects kick in, and when the player wants to shut it down, it goes to (1) from the maximum build progress and starts decreasing it until 0.

When I went to test it, I noticed the left-click (or right-click, I forgot) menu wasn't really what I wanted. For example, when it reaches (2) it says "downgrade to (1)..." but I wish for it to say something else. I had gone digging and haven't found anything regarding said menu or its options. Also, I wanted to have the option "cancel downgrade" added when going from (2) to (1) (or after the upgrade to (2) is cancelled) but I had similar luck and have found nothing that I could use.

My question is how would it be possible (if at all) to rename a context menu option (right/left click menu on a Building), or even perhaps remove, change behaviour or add a new option.
