Development versions have different IL code, making it hard to update mods in time

Don't hardcode your indices and notice that the transpilers survive dev builds.

you can do that by finding the index of a method call (or anything else thats distinct) right before/after the local variable, then iterate the code instructions towards the ldloc/stloc and grab its index.

It seems to me that pretty much everything in your comment misses the mark, but in case it's somehow me who's missing something: So how do you suggest I easily add one more check at the end of the "if(... && fetchChore2.forbidHash == rootChore.forbidHash)" condition in FetchAreaChore, when in normal builds the "false" jump is bne.un.s and in development builds that is ceq+br.s+ldc.i4.0+stloc.s+ldloc.s+brfalse?

No idea what a transpiler surviving is supposed so mean.

 

In your case:

you want to extend that very long chain of conditions.

due to them all being chained with "&&", the position to insert them can be anywhere in that chain.
ceq+br.s+ldc.i4.0+stloc.s+ldloc.s+brfalse <=> bne.un.s   is not a solid location for dynamic insertion.

up the condition chain however there are a couple of equality calls for both Tag and Object. These offer good insertion points, since their index can be easily found and they push their boolean output onto the stack.

there you can insert your own additional condition via calling an external method that checks your custom condition.
This method should both consume a boolean and return one.
the consumed boolean is from the previous equality comparison where you insert your call, the one it returns should be (consumedBoolen && yourCustomConditionResult)

this avoids the problem you described by attaching your extra condition to a consistent point in the inline code.

Even if that approach worked for all modding needs, which is a question, I still see no good reason why development versions should have different code in this way.
