made in ms paint :D

love the thumbnail :D nice mod

dw about it, it was a good suggestion and I might end up using it in the future elsewhere.

sry but ty for showing the actual solution!

*300 steel, not silver, and I messed up the mention too :P
@Di_DD

Di_DD TY for the suggestion, I tried this and sadly it didn't work, but the research requirement has been implemented (see below).

@david.oravsky TY for this example, I should've just taken a look at the base Rimatomics research defs haha. The PPHC is now locked behind a 10k silver research requirement, to soften the cost I've reduced the steel requirement from 900 to 300 silver (same as PPC), although it requires 5 gold now (due to advanced circuitry and conductors).

Cheers :)

check out how this mod does it (1.3 > defs > rimatomicsdefs > researchdefs.xml) pretty sure that hasn't changed with 1.4

i'm not sure cuz i'm not a well-learnt coder myself but it should be easier to just use

<ThingDef ParentName=" find a PPC def name ">

witch means that it can only be obtainable if original PPC had been researched

I'm not sure is that a way to solve a problem

@illPosedProblem ty, I also have a 1.4 continuation of Fuse Plus at https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2881856442 if you'd like to save space on circuit breakers too :)

Great space saver. And I didn't know about Fuse Plus, thank you!
