Plop the Growables

[algernon]

This is for support, bug reports, feature requests, and general feedback for the Plop the Growables mod.

If you are reporting a bug, please remember that I can't see your computer, so you need to be very explicit in your description of the issue so that I can understand what's going on. Logs and/or screenshots to support your report would also be a good idea and will generally save time.

FAQ
How do I place growable buildings?
You'll need to select them using the Developer Mode; see this guide on how to enable it. Once that's activated you press the Home key to bring up a list of objects you can place in the game. There's collapsible categories, so "Buildings" is the one you want, and then select the sub-category below that.

Yes, a UI to avoid the need to use Developer Mode is now a planned future feature.

This mod needs Find it.

When building levels are locked by this mod, does this include all growables, or just ones that have been plopped?

At this stage, all the buildings. I'm working on adding it only to newly-plopped growables as the next feature.

How do you use this mod? I have it loaded into my playset and see the growable option in the settings menu, but I do not see any icon or anything that will allow me to plop buildings. How do I get the building menu open in the screenshot?

Sorry, I wasn't aware that this mod would take off so quickly and was assuming that most users would be power-users familiar with dev mode.

See this guide to activate developer mode in your game. Once that's activated you press the Home key to bring up a list of objects you can place in the game. There's collapsible categories, so "Buildings" is the one you want.

Yes, a UI to avoid the need for developer mode is on the upcoming features list.

Noted, thanks. Looking forward to the next update that does not need to use of developer mode.

will these buildings become 'abandoned'?

 

[Sully_Skylines]

this sounds fricking awesome, and soooo needed! thanks for this and cant wait to try it out

 

[algernon]

will these buildings become 'abandoned'?

They have the normal behavior of any building, so if your city is unbalanced, then yes.

However, locking building levels will prevent (most) abandonment.

man my 96% keyboard happens to lack the goddam key needed to use the dev mode lmao, sold my other keyboard already, hoping you can add a button at some point

Thanks for releasing this! One issue I've ran into when using this mod is that once I close the object selection list I can't bring it back up when I press the home button. I have to relaunch the game before I can bring up the menu with the home button. Is this a bug or is this a known issue that comes with no UI?

I can confirm a UI solution is in the works, hopefully not too long.

It's a known issue with the game (that I thought was fixed, but I was wrong). Use the Home button again to close the panel instead of hitting the close button to avoid that issue.

For those wanting a better UI than the game dev mode prefab selector, check out TDW's new Find It for CS2 which has been written to work with this mod!

First of all I love this mod, Really allows full control of a build. Used it so much in my latest build. But now with the new paradox patch it no longer works. All the buildings I've placed manually are saying condemned. I just wanted to make you aware of this in case you haven't seen this issue. Look forward to a patch and future updates. Definitely a new must have for me
