modding a new work process

[Lighten]

Hi guys,
I try to make a new mod in which the prisoners have to breaking rocks (like Workshop sheetmetal -> LicensePlate but now Stone -> Bricks). I tryed a few things but it is still not working. The stones should be delivered by the Trucks but nothing is hapening. Here are the txt I made:

materials.txt:

END

BEGIN Processor

Output LicensePlate

Properties ShowDuringOperation
Worker Prisoner
END

job.txt:

BEGIN Job
Name breakstone
JobTime 30
Tool Hammer
Worker Prisoner
END

I have used already existing sprites (for now) and made a new room for the Production cycle. The stones were not deliverd.
What have I done wrong? Any Ideas?

It's an issue that I ran into a while back aswell. According to the devs you can now have materials being ordered but I'd have no idea how to do that. Perhaps there is a property somewhere on the modding list on the wiki

Jobs have to be created by scripts.

Jobs that have a material requirement will auto-import that material as long as it is required, often even if the material exists in the prison.

I don't remember whether a processor will auto-import, it's possible.

General tip: Take an existing working mod and modify it in singular steps towards what you want to achieve, testing its function at each step. That will make it A LOT easier to know what has gone wrong than if you try to create something big and complex from scratch.

You can take a look at Sir Noolas "Mining facility mod" on the workshop here : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=308960873

His mod seems to do what you are looking for.
(at least, he his breaking rocks...)
