Better MedKit - help needed
« on: July 04, 2014, 12:14:59 pm »
After being annoyed with my wounded Captain taking over a month to recover, I wanted to find a way to speed healing time up. Since that isn't currently exposed to Rulesets, I did the next best thing, and implemented and improved med-kit. It requires researching an alien autopsy first, for the nanotechnology.

The thing is, I can't seem to get this to work. The research topic isn't showing up for me. Can someone have a look and tell me what I did wrong? Thanks!

I've taken a quick look, and I can't see an error in the ruleset. does it work if you remove the dependencies and requirements?

If I remove the dependencies on the Improved Med-Kit research, I am able to find the research topic and manufacture the Med Kits w/o any issues.

So something must be wrong here:

#    dependencies:
#       - STR_ETHEREAL_CORPSE
#       - STR_SNAKEMAN_CORPSE
#       - STR_MUTON_CORPSE
#       - STR_FLOATER_CORPSE
#       - STR_SECTOID_CORPSE
#    requires:
#       - STR_MEDI_KIT
#  - name: STR_FLOATER_CORPSE
#    unlocks:
#       - STR_MEDI_KIT_IMPROVED
#  - name: STR_ETHEREAL_CORPSE
#    unlocks:
#       - STR_MEDI_KIT_IMPROVED
#  - name: STR_SNAKEMAN_CORPSE
#    unlocks:
#       - STR_MEDI_KIT_IMPROVED
#  - name: STR_MUTON_CORPSE
#    unlocks:
#       - STR_MEDI_KIT_IMPROVED
#  - name: STR_FLOATER_CORPSE
#    unlocks:
#       - STR_MEDI_KIT_IMPROVED

Is there a reason you use getOneFree: instead of unlocks: ?

If I read your ruleset correctly, the Medi-Kit research would become available to research after you researched the Exam Room; or you'd get the Medi-Kit research topic free if you research a Sectoid or Floater medic. Is that right?
