Making a custom tech tree for follower

[AkaiNight]

Hello, me again. I am making a custom character and i need help about making a custom tech three. Is it enough to just add

TUNING.PROTOTYPER_TREES.CUSTOM 

and how can i declare a level for it? Follower is in my character mod and it does not have any modmain for itself. And where should i put this? If its enough

if its in tuning.lua 

i should just add

PROTOTYPER_TREES =

{ CUSTOM = TechTree.Create ({

SCIENCE = x,

MAGIC = z,

})}

Ngl I think you might have to reconsider the coding, I'm pretty sure this is absurdely effort but I think DarkXero made code for this if it still works.

I'm happily willing for someone to tell me otherwise tho.

Do you want to make a custom tech tree so that your follower can be crafted from this one or do you want your follower to be like a crafting station but just for your custom tech tree?

I made a mod with a custom tech tree, I think I only used this to make it:

--modmain
local _G = GLOBAL
local require = _G.require
local TUNING = _G.TUNING
local TechTree = require("techtree")
table.insert(TechTree.AVAILABLE_TECH, "CUSTOM_TECH")

_G.TECH.NONE.CUSTOM_TECH = 0
_G.TECH.CUSTOM_TECH_ONE = {CUSTOM_TECH = 1}

for k, v in pairs(TUNING.PROTOTYPER_TREES) do
	v.CUSTOM_TECH = 0
end

TUNING.PROTOTYPER_TREES.CUSTOM_TECH = TechTree.Create({CUSTOM_TECH = 1})

for i, v in pairs(_G.AllRecipes) do
	if v.level.CUSTOM_TECH == nil then
		v.level.CUSTOM_TECH = 0
	end
end

STRINGS.TABS.CUSTOM_TECH = "Custom Tech Tree"

I'm mot sure if all of it is needed, but it worked for me. Replace CUSTOM_TECH with the name of the your custom tech tree. You can then add it as a requirement for craftings and/or add the prototyper component to something to make you able to craft it.

--recipe
local test = AddRecipe("flint", 
{ 	Ingredient("butterfly", 3 ), 
	Ingredient("petals", 12),
	Ingredient("rope", 5)}, 
	RECIPETABS.FARM, 
	TECH.CUSTOM_TECH_ONE)

--prefab file in the fn()

inst:AddComponent("prototyper")
inst.components.prototyper.trees = TUNING.PROTOTYPER_TREES.CUSTOM_TECH_ONE

yes i want to make it a crafting station just for my custom items. But my follower does not have any modmain for itself. Its in my character mod and im not sure if i can make a modmain for it? Is there any other way to do it? Or can i just add those in my characters modmain?

The modmain is for your entire mod, so as long your follower is in the same mod as your character, you can also use the modmain for him.

If im not wrong this is the part that we add custom tech levels. And if i want to add more levels like 2,3... i just need to copy and paste this and change number? But im not sure about that since it will be all same name it will override itself or it will just not work or crush. So how i can add more levels for this part

But we also have this part and this must be the defination of number like if it ask for TECH_one then the game will know it need CUSTOM_TECH to be higher than 1 and if i also want to add more levels i just need to add more and change "one" with numbers.

Right?

Yes I think for adding more levels, you can do it like you wrote:

TUNING.PROTOTYPER_TREES.CUSTOM_TECH = TechTree.Create({CUSTOM_TECH = 2})
--and
_G.TECH.CUSTOM_TECH_TWO = {CUSTOM_TECH = 2}

for example to have a second level in this tech tree.
