Ok, that may sound harsh but just stop everything you'r edoing NOW.

You are taking extremly bad modding habbit by doing what you're doing. You should NEVER override an existing prefab the way you're doing because then you're killing the compatibility of your mod with ANY other mod modifying the same prefab.

You have functions for that which are called AddPrefabPostInit. Read a bit more some tutorials and study the mod samples provided by Klei and then come back to ask questions if you encounter issues. But just don't do it the way you started, it will just be awful.

Good luck

yes i know that, I just wanted to know what do what and what to change, first, then do the post init.

So, do you know why it doesnt register my fuel?

 

It doesnt sound harsh, I know im a beginner that doesnt know whats hes doing lol

line 41 you call the "fuel" component while there is no fuel component attached to your sewing kit.

I dont understand what is fuel component then .. i got this in sewing kit

 

inst:AddComponent("fueled")

 

inst.components.fueled.accepting = true

inst.components.fuel.fueltype = FUELTYPE.SILK  i tried "silk" and "SILK" too

inst.components.fueled:InitializeFuelLevel(0)

inst.components.fueled:StopConsuming()

 

i got this in mod main

 

GLOBAL.FUELTYPE.SILK = "SILK"

 

PrefabFiles = {

    "sewingkit",

    "silk",

}

 

 

and this in the silk 

 

inst:AddComponent("fuel")

inst.components.fuel.fueltype = "SILK"

inst.components.fuel.fuelvalue = TUNING.TINY_FUEL

 

whats missing?!

@Noldaz, fuel and fueled are not the components you want to be using. The fueled component is specifically used by items which are always being 'consumed' or fueled, where as the fuel component is what fuels those items. Look into using the repairable and repairer components.
