2) Defs

We referred to our Defs in the previous chapters, so let's implement them. They are three types of XML entries: two Defs and one JobGiver. The JobGiver is simply <li Class="CatsAreJerks.JobGiver_PetCats" />, inserted in the right part of the ThinkTree via xpath or other methods. The WorkGiverDef and JobDef are used to link the various parts of the jobsystem together.

Note that you'd normally not mix two completely different mods in the same file.
