Modding Help Using a .patch file to add a new pool to a pre-existing .treasurepools file?

So I'm trying to make my mod Android Fluffalo compatible with other mods that add custom harvestable animals, per request by an inspired user via Reddit, but for some reason that's incredibly difficult. For the most part I've just been using variations of this treasure\monsterharvest.treasurepools.patch:

Code:

[
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/roboFluffaloHarvest/1/pool/-",
    "value": {
      "weight" : 1.0, "item" : "stickofram"
    }
  }
]

Here's the error that pops up when I use that particular snippet of code:

Code:

[19:57:13.038] [Error] Exception while invoking lua function 'update'. (LuaException) Error code 2, [string "/monsters/monster.lua"]:162: Lua Error in monster type 'robofluffalo'
[string "/scripts/behavior.lua"]:185: [sequence] error: [string "/scripts/behavior.lua"]:178: [dropMonsterHarvest] error: [string "/scripts/actions/monsters/farmable.lua"]:49: (TreasureException) Unknown treasure pool 'roboFluffaloHarvest'  

However, no matter what I try, the game either crashes on startup (previous attempts) or the Fluffalo dies when you try to harvest it (aforementioned attempt). Google hasn't been any help for whatever reason, so would anyone here know?
(also yes this is just copied and pasted over from this, but don't tell anyone, okay?)

 

That's not quite what I was trying to do. basicMonsterTreasure already exists within its file. I'm trying to add a completely new pool to monsterharvest.treasurepools, not add an item to another pool such as electricFluffaloHarvest or poisonFluffaloHarvest. Is there any way to do that?

 

Works like a charm! Thank you!

What does weight mean in here?

 

weight is "how likely" it is. 1.0 weight would spawn more often than 0.50 weight if they are in the same pool.
