A new update is now available, introducing seasons and more!
Latest hotfix: 0.8.0.2 (2024-12-30)
  • hi


    i would like to know how i can edit the game files.
    for example making the furnace consume more fuel.
    i mannaged to open the .JAR files using cool viewer but then there only .CLASS files that i cant open up.
    it tells me to use JAVA or JVM but i cant find it anywhere.
    also on the internet they tell me to use JD-GUI but my pc sas the files are dangerous to download.


    please help me out with some tips.


    thanks,

  • To alter things like the furnace fuel amount you don't need to edit the game's code directly.


    All of the info is stored in an SQLite database (i think the name was definitions.db) inside the commons.jar archive. All you need to do is extract that database make any changes you want and then repack it back in and start the game. :)

    this is where im at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RisingWorld\data\commons 3\commons\definitions
    there i see a definitions.db but how do i open that what kind of app do you guys use?

  • thanks i just tried something out now ill sere if it worked.


    know i need to figure out if it worked cuz i dont see any changes.


    i tried to speed up the furnace but i see nothing happening.

  • Unfortunately it's not possible to change the furnace speeds, or more precisely, different furnace speeds/efficiencies are not implemented yet (that's why the speed value in the database is currently ignored)... however, you can change the fuel consumption. To check out if everything works properly, you could try to set fuelconsumption to a pretty high value (e.g. 1000), that should make a noticeable different (but be aware that the fuel level for active furnaces is only updated every 5-10 seconds).


    Changes to the database file affect every local world by the way (as long as the definitions.db has been replaced in the commons.jar while the game wasn't running) ;)
