Wheelchairs (Child Compatible)
So basically after playing with the 1.4 update of this mod (huge thanks to SL4VP0WER and Sugarstar!) I found that when I tried to put this poor kid with paralytic abasia in a wheelchair it simply disappeared. So I fixed it.
Tested and it works fine with pawns age 3 and up. Sorry newborns, no wheelchairs for you.

And here’s a link to Dress Patients 1.4, which is required for this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2877763074
If any of the original authors want me to take this down, I will.
What I actually did is below the original mod description, which is here:
+++ Original Mod Description +++
Wheelchairs – A chair fitted with wheels for use as a means of transport by a person who is unable to walk as a result of illness, injury, or disability.
Allows movement with manipulation, use with Dress Patients to allow immobile pawns to equip it. Can be built at the machining table.

I fully endorse people remaking or expanding upon this mod 🙂

Ok so. After peeking into WheelchairDefs.xml, I found that the wheelchair didn’t have anything in there allowing children to use it. (it didn’t have anything saying adults could use it either, which makes sense because prior to 1.4 adults were the only type of pawns that existed and thus could wear clothes. I guess if an article of clothing doesn’t specify what age it’s for the game automatically assumes that it’s for adults only, which again makes sense because that’s how clothes worked before 1.4).
So I looked at the Def.xml files for a different mod (to be more specific it was
Biotech Kids – More Wearable Ideology Hats and Such
) to figure out what makes an article of clothing wearable by children and adults. Turns out it’s the following, nestled in the <apparel> category:
<developmentalStageFilter>Child, Adult</developmentalStageFilter>
Yeah that’s it. I just stuck that in WheelchairDefs.xml and it worked. But there was another matter entirely, textures. See, because the wheelchair is clothes, it’s drawn over the pawn, which is fine for the side and up facing views but not so fine for the down facing view. The original artist, Lilscoot, compensated for this by taking the wheelchair texture and cutting out the shape of each body type so that each pawn appears to be sitting in the wheelchair and not the other way around, which meant that there was no ready-made texture for the ‘child’ body type. So I opened the wheelchair texture in my art program of choice, found and opened the kid body texture, positioned it to where it looked right and then made a kid-body-shaped hole in the wheelchair. And I’m gonna be honest here guys: I did my best but it doesn’t look too great up close. Thankfully it looks fine to me at a distance but like if someone who actually knows what they’re doing when making rimworld textures wants to clean it up be my guest.
And yeah that’s about it. Sorry for the excruciating detail I just think it’s interesting and maybe someone else will too.
Hope all this works lmao I’ve never uploaded to the steam workshop before
