Additional Prototyping Branches

[Arkathorn]

Could someone please provide an in-depth explanation of how one would go about adding an entirely new tech branch (apart from the original SCIENCE, MAGIC, and ANCIENT), creating an aura around a structure that provides a boost for that branch (ie. Creating a structure functionally equivalent to the Science Machine, Alchemy Engine, Prestihatitator, and Shadow Manipulator, but for this new branch), and implementing this branch into recipes?

 

From what I can discern:

• Branches are stored in the GLOBAL.TECH table, and referenced in the fourth parameter of the AddRecipe function.
  
• Wether a player can craft a given recipe is checked by the builder component's KnowsRecipe function, which thus needs to be overridden to add the new branch.
  
• Prototypers such as the science machine provide an aura boost to a player's crafting capabilities, as specified in the 'trees' table.
  

Is this correct? What else do I need to know? How do I implement this?

@Arkathorn, correct.

 

Easier said than done though.

 

I got this. Clients on servers don't see the prompt to prototype, only build.

But they prototype if it's the first time.

 

net variables everywhere.
