if you change the recipe, you'll have to use the command: /c game.player.force.resetrecipes()

Precisely, it means I have to manually do it, would be nice to automate it with a dedicated bot, though something like attack drones that have to go back to recharge would be nice to have them also head back to drop off drops they pick up. Though I am more in the camp of liking more specific-purpose bots that way they cannot get distracted. :-)

Hi Bob,

I've just started playing your mods after seeing it here.

I'm a little lost when it comes to the multi coloured alien artifacts, what are they used for?

You can use them in the Warefare mod to make upgraded personal equipment. I will add more uses later.

You might want to look into spawning rules for those new big turrets.

When I was playing around with integration in RSO default spawning would drop only tons of explosive ones I think. Other types were not spawning.

They've changed the spawning rules for things I think... I still need to figure out what they've done before I can fix it.

I thought the fact that I was finding nothing but big explosive worms when I went hunting was odd. Was this fixed in the latest version?

Tbh I looked at it and couldn't figure it out. It was almost like one entity would take priority and displace all others.
Only thing I managed to fix was base spawner in RSO - it's capable of using all the worm types now.

I've gone from not seeing any of my worms at all, to seeing some bases with no worms, and others nothing but worms, without changing anything... I think it's just the RNG being a bit too random for our tastes.

something funny.

biters fighting each other !
guess it happens when an aoe from a spitter hits another spitter/biter.
does not happen that often, but i have seen it.

i have seen small artifact drops near biter spawners which i couldnt have killed. not sure how this happens, dont have more info about it either - sorry.

think the highest biters are fire ones now. my mk2 shield do ok-ish - i run into my mk1 laser towers for safety. (thouse might be too strong, because they do ok against fire biters, you will know better then me =) )

request:
i would like another blueprint, which only collects artifacts and does not deconstruct anything - not sure if its possible, but it would be very nice.

Spawned aliens have a lifespan - when they reach their age limit, they die, and unfortunately the drops still happen, despite it not being a violent death, so small artifacts will inevitably build up around spawners.

I wrote myself a small bit of code to delete those drops if there isn't an entity of the player force within a certain radius, which seems to have fixed the problem while the devs are busy with other stuff.

Looks like there's a fail in the latest addition: Behemoth spitter loot checks. Biter too, but it's the spitter that causes the reported error.

Line 406 in my mod is

Code: Select all

        percent = 25,
so we're obviously not working with the same version of the mod.
I checked the line I would think would have that enemydyingsound line (Which looks suspiciously like 0.11 code) and I have

Code: Select all

    dying_sound = make_biter_dying_sounds(1.0),
My advice: Make sure you're using the latest version of my mod(s). This is 0.12.4.

Thank you for the quick response. I had an old version of you mod downloaded. After I got all the new ones it works finde.
Maybe you could provide an all in one version in the forums to prevent version vonflicts.

Thank you for the help.

it has come up before. the short answer is, I could provide a package that you have to extract, but that's about it. having an all inclusive package with the mods as is that you can just put in the mods folder and run isn't supported, and creating a single all inclusive mod is way too much work, it would require a lot of rewriting. (All the graphics and sounds for example require you to tell it what mod is it in)

Basically... if something doesn't work, check to see if there is an update for it, if that doesn't work, then tell me. Because if there are problems, either I have already fixed them, will soon, or don't know about them.

i am a noob when it comes to changing configs on files, i found the txt files where i can change the small alien artifacts to false but i don't know how to save it so that it works as intended - stops small alien artifacts from spawning. so how can i disable the small alien artifacts correctly/save the changes correctly?

First, the mod should be extracted into a folder with files, not remain in the archive file.
Then you open config.lua in some form of text editor, Wordpad works. Find the line that mentions the small artifacts, and change the word true to false. all lower case letters just like that.
Save the file over the old one, and exit. when you load the game, there should be no more small artifacts.

Thank you very much! no more small alien artifacts :D
