Wasteland Fix

By Verm

What is the wasteland glitch? It's when 2 geats look at eachother and make a ton of rooms become atmosphere.

How did I fix it? I made all geats born, imported, or warped in, be classified as Machinery. They'll still have a family of 4 and a genus of 4, but when creatures look at geats they'll think they're machinery, they'll also smell like machinery. This will probably break most genome's breeding instincts, but it does somehow seem to fix the glitch. (Thank you FlyingEttiNorn!)

However, later from 20kdc, I learned that what's most likely causing the glitch is that geats don't have an associated smell, so when trying to do calculations with their own smell, they get a non-valid CA Index of -1, which is room type, and that's whats messed with instead! So I'm now also including a version which simply makes geats smell like machines without altering their category!.

Included is a catalogue which will change the category name of "something" to "geat", though it isn't nessary at all, and only useful for the smell-only version.

If you want the first version, use "ZZZ_No More Wastelands.cos"

If you want the smell-only version, use "ZZZ_No More Wastelands2.cos"

Don't use both, it won't do anything weird per say, but the first one already also makes them smell due to the cato so there's not much of a point.

Do what you will with this.
