Many thanks to the TwitchTV streamers listed below who are supporters of Superior Crafting. Many great ideas for the mod have been conceived from the streamers and viewers there. Please feel free to drop in, share your thoughts, and say hello! Also, a special thanks to Das24680 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHJM-Vd74Egk1xvGp4BHWBA). I first found out about Rimworld on his Youtube channel. It's entirely his fault I got sucked into the game and this amazing mod community!
Special thanks to Kirid, jacob814, Skullywag, & Jaxxa for allowing me to incorporate their work into Superior Crafting! Please note: Any use of Superior Crafting Alpha 11 additions and features requires a request be sent to Abrexus. This is due to the fact that some of the new code and textures are not mine, and were given to me for my use in this pack only.(http://streambadge.com/twitch/dark/das24680.png) (http://www.twitch.tv/das24680) (http://streambadge.com/twitch/dark/JacksEncoded.png) (http://www.twitch.tv/JacksEncoded) (http://streambadge.com/twitch/dark/maysletsplays.png) (http://www.twitch.tv/maysletsplays) (http://streambadge.com/twitch/dark/timalick.png) (http://www.twitch.tv/timalick)

So what is Superior Crafting? Well, it's my vision on how a redesign of the research tree and production chain can enhance the feel of starting out alone and isolated on a new world. With Superior Crafting, you start with minimal items you can build, and must research your way up to the more advanced items. The production chain is also enhanced, so that crafting plays a larger role in your colonies growth. This mod may not be for everyone. You have to work hard to unlock the good stuff, nothing is given to you for free. You'll also have to make hard choices as to what you want to research next. This choice matters, and depending on the biome you start in, one technology may benefit you more than if you started somewhere else.

- FAQ -
Question: I want to build a furnace, but it wants to make it out of slate blocks and I don't have any and can't make any.
Answer: If you click on the icon in the build menu, you can select what types of blocks you can build it from. Sometimes the default selection isn't a type of block you may already have.
Question: How do I use the training devices?
Answer: All four training devices are mannable. Just activate your pawn and right-click the item to direct them to man it. They will stop using it when they are tired, hungry, or interrupted by you.- Mods I play SC with -

this mod looks really cool, saw Rawdee123 stream it and Abraxus was really cool explaining it on the stream, can't wait to try it :D
I'll have to try this mod. It seems there's been a lot of research overhaul mods (including mine) recently!
I had to bug the CRAP out of Abrexus just to get him to come back. I had to send emails, physically call his cell phone, threaten him with violence, and even mass bother him via Skype. Trust me when I say it was worth the effort and I'm glad I got him to come back.
That being said, I can't wait to see just how great this mod gets and so help me god if Abrexus tries to abandon us again....

Full compatility for TS Mod and Apparello ?
I haven't tested it with those yet, although Apparello should work fairly well as I didn't change the default cloth def names. It does work well with the EdB Mods and the Zombie Apocalypse mod.
Just an FYI there is a typo in the smelting recipe, but it just a test description typo, the recipe does produce the correct materials.
May I ask what you made that tech tree in (not the background, just the techtree diagram), I've been struggling with finding a reliable choice for my mod.

I used "drive.draw.io" from my google chrome browser. I was a bit surprised at how easy it was to use, and it exports it as a PNG with a transparent background, which makes it easy to transpose onto something else.
Is this compatible with extended surgery and bionics?

Is this compatible with extended surgery and bionics?
As I am a big fan of that mod myself, I have included most of those features in this mod as well, so you wouldn't need to run both.
Im gonna dl this to stream this weekend!!
welp, looks like my colony will cease to exist once i install this beauty again, also at least my mods list will be sorter too.
thanks for the revival, of this gemstone ;)
im having an issue with the backyard furnace. i build it and it dissapears
debug log says could not resolve cross reference: no verse.thingdef named metal found to give to verse.thingcount 35x null
at least thats what popped up when i built it i have alot of mods so maybe something is conflicting ill check and report back.
strike that i cant even start a new colony with just this mod.
FYI: I can't build regular walls made of stone or metals, besides the lighted walls, which lag me to death, and I'm not building a high-tech base out of wood, which is flammable, VERY flammable
>>millenium
backyard furnace? isnt that industrialization mod? Im pretty sure it isnt compatible with this mod.
>>Abrexus
Also, this mod adds a great amount of difficulty to this game.... and I absolutely love it! there are a few things like the occasional typo, on the looms crafting menu you have make cloth twice but one of them is for deavilstrand or something like that but its just named make cloth like the regular one. Anyways, I had a few reservations before trying this mod (not a huge fan of loads of crafting tables) but so far it is really quite great. 90% of it feels vanilla. I like it.
>>Abrexus
Im pretty far into a game just using your mod (and edb stuff except scenarios). I have the chemlab and the bionics table. I queued up to make some medicine, I have all the ingredients but my colonists arent making any. I noticed in the workgiver defs that the chemlab isnt listed would that be the reason i cant make medicine? Also, i have corpses in stock in my fridge, but the bionics table doesnt have an option to process corpses into biomatter, only bills for body parts. Oddly though, its called a bionics work table and not an organ vat but the bionics table claims to be an organ vat. im a little confused. Could i get some feedback?
EDIT: Also, my dudes arent making mulch....
I thought his MOD would be fun, but. It's just a pain. It wasted my time about four times before I realized you can't really do anything unless you start out on a place with a beach, that has boom rats and has slate stone. (Who knows what else I could add on here, I'm not sure because I deleted it after building up and establishing a compound only to find out that I'm boned because I had no access to sand in the area I had chosen.) This pretty much limits where you can even start out at. You can't even get to the point of being able to trade without glass, which requires sand. And you're pretty much screwed if you didn't start in an area with slate chunks. Good concept, poorly executed, in my opinion.
Forgive me if I'm misinformed, or if I missed something right under my nose that solves all these problems. But I couldn't find it and I'd rather not have a mod that limits where I can choose to start out, let alone one that doesn't even warn me about it's limitations before I waste a huge chunk of time trying to enjoy it.
>>Koupally
I understand were you're coming from, but he did just release this mod after all. Really the part that bugs me the most is that this hasn't been thoroughly tested by the author before release. The organ vat is very broken. WorkGiverDefs is incomplete leading to a few tables not even working at all. This game has a debug menu, you can unlock everything in game to test out mods like this. I just don't understand how a developer could drop the ball like that. At first I liked it, but now I'm just disappointed after wasting 3 hours playing it.
Thanks for pointing out the mistakes! I've updated to fix the workgiver files for the chemlab, bionics table, and organ vat. Also some non-breaking recipe text is fixed. As for the furnace, it is built out of stone, and if by default it is set to a stone you don't have, click the icon in the build menu and select stone that you do. It will give you the option then to make it out of stone that you do have. The same goes for the hide bed.
all my colonists keep, breaking (wandering/broken), is this down to the code or part of the rimsanal storyteller and/or corresponding packs.
get like 4 colonists a day breaking, not to mention a besiege every 2 days
>>Abrexus
Bugs I've Noticed/Suggestions
*raw devilstrand's item description is the name
*Suggest wood log floor for starting out (maybe balance it out so it's not as beautiful as plank floor or has a walking speed debuff)
*Organ vat, and bionic crafting table have the same name
*Worktables need <itemSurface>False</itemSurface> variable to keep colonists from eating on them
*Suggest having a plasteel bar icon different than plasteel ore to avoid confusion
EDIT: You actually do have a plasteel icon in the textures folder, you need to change the variable in Items_Resources.xml from <graphicPath>Things/Item/Resource/Plasteel</graphicPath> to <graphicPath>Things/Item/Resource/PlasteelBar</graphicPath>
*"Organ Vat" (named Bionic Crafting Table) is still broken, no way to make Biomatter from corpses to make organs
You have fixed the medicine and mulch crafting. Thank you.

@cythedag Thank you for all the help! Corrections made and new version is uploaded. I also fixed a bug with Construction II not properly unlocking conduit walls and powered doors. They should now unlock properly, and be able to use all materials.
Bugs
FertilizerPump's shadow is messed up. It's shadow looks like a wall.
Organvat - still cannot process biomatter
I tried adding variable <recipeUsers>TableOrganvat</recipeUsers> to the biomatter reciepe but its throwing an exception in the assembly. dll modding isn't my forte, but maybe it's related to that? Maybe im stupid and it's not related at all. Would like to process biomatter eventually so i can make organs.
EDIT: Also, outdoor fences act as roof support. I can use the no roof zone tool to fix it but is there a way to make it not a roof support by default?
I may cry from happiness. I have waited a long time for this to come back!

So thats what you did with my shields...nice!
Code Corrections
I figured out how to fix the organ vat not working properly here are the changes i made:
Buildings_Production.xml:
Line 711
<recipes>
<li>ExtractBiomatterCorpse</li>
</recipes>
Recipes_Production.xml:
Line 644
<ingredients>
<li>

<li>CorpsesHumanoid</li>
</categories>
<specialFiltersToDisallow>
<li>AllowRotten</li>
<li>AllowBuried</li>
</specialFiltersToDisallow>
</fixedIngredientFilter>
Also I changed in Workgiversdef <defName>DoBillsTableOrganvat</defName> to <defName>DoBillsBiomatter</defName>
I just tested the changes in game and it now functions properly. You can make corpses into biomatter. I suggest upping the biomatter from corpses to 35, that way you can still get one usable organ from a corpse. just a suggestion.
What are features presented exactly? Listed in the thread: turrets, blast doors, organ vat, nuclear plants and shield generators.
does this change many vanilla things? does it remove anything?
I've got piles of sand (1200) and a Glassworks with power supply, a "Make Glass" bill set, but my colonists won't make glass for some reason. Is it possible I'm missing something?
EDIT: Figured it out. I also have Mechanical Defense 2 (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7380.0) installed, and it features a separate item named "Pile of Sand". A little confusing, but one of the pitfalls of using multiple MODs I suppose.
Make sure you redownload the latest version, he has updated it a bit since a couple days ago. He had some WorkGiverDef issues where some tables wouldn't be used.

You have been a great help, and I appreciate your taking the time. I am going to do a thorough test tonight (as soon as I get some coffee in me) and have an updated version with bug fixes in the morning.
Updated to version 1e and added a more detailed description in post 2. Once I am sure this is (mostly) bug free, I plan to expand on the temperature control system. Please keep all the excellent feedback coming!
Ah man I remember playing this mod in.. alpha 7? regardless I've missed it massively!
However it doesn't work with the zombie apocalypse or the EdB mods. Do you plan on making some sort of patch or is it not really possible, because I'm willing to get rid of most of those mods but the EdB interface mod is really useful and I would be rather miserable if I got rid of it!
Am I mistaken or aren't crafting tables now passable (half-speed?) in vanilla?

It works with both EdB interface and Prepare Carefully. I use them both all the time. I just did a test to make double sure, and they do in fact work. I also tested ZA on a new map (I haven't loaded it before in alpha 9) and it's working just fine with all of the above loading as well.

They are, but I changed it because I felt it was a bit disorienting. I may change it back, or offer an alternative version for download.
Hey Abrexus, did you end up fixing the "can't make biomatter" issue?
Also because I love you, please add patchnotes or announce the new versions on your main post or two.

Either way is cool, thanks! I like the idea of the added challenge and complexity of your system and look forward to playing with it. But I also liked having my crafting tables passable. :)
One question: I saw a mod request for the ability to harvest bionic/prosthetic parts from corpses. Is that possible with your mod at the cybernetics table or elsewhere? I'm actually interested in getting into modding and was thinking of trying to fulfill that request - but not if I'd be duplicating your efforts here of course. My rough plans (if it's even possible) was to make it either something a doctor could do as a bill at a medical bed, or see if it was possible to add the ability to do post-mortem operations. Alternatively, or even additionally, maybe it could be a bill at the butcher table or just part of butchering the corpse (although that carries a load of stigma) - with a chance to destroy each part reclaimed due to the lack of finesse.
Thanks again!

hmm....thats a good idea....no it's not in my mod, but if it's something you want to tackle go for it! Maybe we can collaborate on it.
This mod is really, really tempting me...
Now I'll probably end up rushing my current colony and shipping all my guys off just so I can try out this mod :P
But then I'll probably have to remove a bunch of mods, and then I'll get really torn, and stuff will happen. Lots of stuff.
On a side note, what is the difference between manned turrets and auto turrets, other then the obvious fact they are automatic?
Do they need more stuff? Do they use more energy? Do you need special parts(like sensors and high-tech data processors[possible stripped off mechanoids?])

Manned turrets use no energy and do not require "electronics"
Sentry "AI" Turrets require energy and cost extra resources but are automated.
I really enjoy this mod. I've been playing it with Edb's prepare carefully, with 3 stock colonists and no starting out items on a arid shrub-land biome. Now granted, I'm playing on cass' rough difficulty. Still very hard.
>>Abrexus
One thing you may want to think about adding is a way to can food. Something along the line of JuliaEllie's mod that adds that. If you balance it out right, it's a great way to preserve food early in the game if you don't have the power or time to make a freezer.
Also, something like RedistHeat incorporated into the mod would be outright awesome.

It doesn't make sense for early game. Believe it or not the canning and sanitation process is brutally advanced! That would be like a crafting 2 with power 2 option easily.

QuoteVersion 1e fixes:
*Organ Vat now properly converts human corpses to biomatter
Still not working :-(
And the Adv. prosthetic's i can't install at the pawn's.
But since noone else mention this, it is maybe a mod conflict with ExpandedProsthetics&OrganEngineering.
But i am very impressed with the mod and your work. Maybe good things are allready there which i would need other mods for.
But i am still missing
- Storage system, i would prefer the one from RT the quantum stockpile. Because the game and the pawn can sell all the item they are stored on these pad's. Not like other box system where the item are stored inside and are invisble for the game stock inventor.
Yes i can use the Mod and it is working well, but don't fit logical at your mod since you just need ore to build the pads.
- a Droid helper system. MAI or the Droids from ED2 or the Capture system from More Mechanoids.
- The current turret system are ok, but i ask myself, where does the weapon come when you build a Gattling turret ? :-)
Why not the turret system from Miscellaneous, you just build the turret base, and install a weapon from your stock on it.
- Faction, Events
With some enhancement your Mod will be a highlight and comes at the same class like TechTreeMinami was at the past (and hopefully at the future again),.
I did just update to 1f and with my tinfoil hat on I assure you the organ vat now works :)
Yes, there probably is a conflict with my surgery system and "ExpandedProsthetics&OrganEngineering" as they are very similar.
As for the rest, once the mod is working without any glitches I will be expanding on it again. Making the jump from Alpha 6 to Alpha 9 was almost a total rewrite, but going forward it shouldn't be as bad.

It doesn't make sense for early game. Believe it or not the canning and sanitation process is brutally advanced! That would be like a crafting 2 with power 2 option easily.
My grandmother used to can veggies and fruit on her stove with mason jars... It isn't rocket science. You just need heat, jars, and a pressure cooker.

What if I told you the next thing being added is an expansion to heating/cooling?

this mod looks awesome, will have to give it a try. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in it.
Well, I completed the colony I was working on super fast, and now I'm going to try this out!

Don't touch that dial! Version 2.0 is coming out within the hour! Lots of new stuff!
I am pleased to announce version 2 of Superior Crafting: The Return - Keeping Cool edition. Latta graciously agreed to allow integration of his RedistHeat mod. Also included are some new items to help out with your starting colony. Also, prosthetics are now color coded based on quality.
Coming up next....cooking revisited!
This mod just gets better and better :D
Abrexus maybe you could stream playing your mod, i'm really curious what you'd focus on :D

Okay cause i am pretty far in my world and didnt wanna risk it
I've just noticed that my designated crafter was not getting any experience from working on any sort of bench, like stonecutting, making sand/glass or making steel bars, was this intentional cause it's quite difficult for me to get a person to level 10 crafting so i can make bionic stuff.

by default, you don't get crafting experience (even in the vanilla build) from making non-items. I'm on the fence on that myself. I can change that if the general consensus is that they should give experience.
Didnt test much stuff in a9 but from what i seen only research give actuall exp to resercher
It says in the FAQ you can click on the Smelter to change the material it needs to be made of at start but I'm clicking and it ain't changing and right click doesn't give me any option either.
This reminds me a lot of the TTM mod back in A7. The only thing missing is the custom events mod which added a bunch of new random events. Now if you add a bunch of new random events you will officially be my hero. I am loving this mod and look forward to what you plan to do with the cooking system.

About wall lights,
currently they just use basic resources.
Shouldn't you need 1 steelbar for conduit and 5 glass for the lamp too ?
TY Sir, fixed and will be updated shortly!
Holy crap, dude. I didn't expect a complete overhaul. Totally getting this running tomorrow. BUT!!!
Hows the interaction between this and Extended Surgery and Bionics since I notice you added a load of bionics of your own? (More that what exactly should I expect they're interaction to be like)

I think it should give experience, but only up until a certain point(If that's possible). Since stuff like making bricks can never go wrong(as in, have really sucky quality), being able to get a planet-class crafter on brick making would be unbalanced, not to mention weird. Why would cutting bricks make you that good at crafting?
But since they only way to let people learn to be better crafters currently is to make them craft a bunch of things, which ends up giving you a lot of shoddy/poor things, or find a guy with good crafting abilities from the start, it can get slightly annoying.
Being able to put our crafter-in-training to say, level 5 or something on simple things like stone bricks before making them make the more complicated stuff would be really nice.

Extended surgery will conflict, but you would just be duplicating what's already integrated in SC. You can fix bones, remove scars, and fix bad backs, along with building prosthetics and bionics, and growing organs. I encourage you to check it out and see. I am a huge fan of Ykara's mod, and it was the inspiration for my take on expanding vanilla surgery. Ykara was also nice enough to include the source code (as I do) so that was a huge help. I figure why try and outdo what I think is one of the best surgery mods available.

Bloody brilliant, man. Love the meat jerky addition.... Now all of a sudden I want to make Jerked Human Meat.... That sounded vaguely sexual. Yay! Unintentional hilarity! Another thing for me to force my hapless colonists to eat! Thanks for your genius! I hope you continue to refine and expand on this wonderful mod!
So it is an ultimate everything-mod (except guns and some mscellaneous stuff)?
Any advanced lamps by the way? Vanilla 150W lamps are killing me (1 geothermal plant = 24 lamps, wtf).
Awesome mod. Sadly it doesn't really co-exist with other mods very well due to it redoing a lot of things. But I still love it.
Might look into the Glittertech and Industrialisation mods for more source material to grow this mod some more.
Also if you're feeling upto it, look into the zombie apocolypse mod too, it doesn't seem to work with this mod (i'm not getting any zombie spawns), and I do miss my zombies.
Seems zombies are working. I load them after your mod now. Hope nothing else breaks. :D
One other thing I just noticed: The game complains you have no meal source when all you have is a grill. Might wanna check into that.
Keep up the great work Abrexus!
Trying the mod, just in the beginning, so I might have missed a few things, but..
I loaded it after landing my colonists to use the prepare carefully mod, and now all the rich soil and stone tiles turned into sand??
Weapons seem weird. Just weird. I have a steel ore spear that does 15 damage(about) A dead raider dropped a normal steel club. It deals 1 damage.
Also, I think it uses a bit too much things.
Just to give my colonist a hide bed(with patchy hide blankets, and rather a poor quality to boot), I needed to make a saw with logs and steel ore. Then make a furnace with planks and bricks(tore down a old stone wall I found for the bricks), then smelt the steel ore to steel blocks, then use the blocks to make a food preparation table, then butcher animal for hide, then make a bed. Just so my colonists didn't have to sleep on the floor.
I mean, I love having to work for stuff, but it just feels like so much... clutter.
Also, I note jerky does not keep for longer than raw meat. Was somewhat disappointed.
Yeah me too with the whole jerky thing it should last a long time.........ANY WAY!!! I love it its so much fun i am having a blast with it i hesitated because my other colony was still kicking then a raid came and screwed me but i love it KEEP IT GOING!!!! PLEASE!!!
There is a floor vent from clutter and ducts from heat redistribution. Hope you can figure out the rest :D.
Hi there, can you add glass walls/windows?

For anyone wondering how I fixed this, you need to have some of the resource on the map before you can change. So if your default bed or smelter requires things you don't have, skin an animal or make some blocks of a resource you do have and then you can change it, but not before.
Hi everyone.
About that jerky.
I made it behave like "survival meal" by changing
ThingDef ParentName="MealRottable"> to <ThingDef ParentName="MealBase"> in Items_Meals.xml
Btw, could the one who made this mod give a list what this mod DOES NOT change, so i know what other mods i can still use? :)
I love, love, love this mod! It makes the game doubleplusgood.
I'm having an issue, though: Regardless of what type of automated turret gun I build, they all behave as standard sentry guns. In other words, an automated sniper turret behaves as a standard sentry gun with its four shots, same for the automated gatling turret. This problem does not occur with the manned turrets, which work properly.

Actually I agree with you on the hide bed thing. It takes way too long to make the prep table, so in the next update I hope to post very shortly I am going to change that so you just need wood logs and a little ore.
I'll also see about changing the "shelf life" of jerky.

Updated and they should now work properly, along with a few other fixes.
See, that's why this is the only thread I am subscribed to: Abraxus is so responsive and really seems to listen to what people say about the mod. I am really excited to see what else is up his/her sleeve. Keep up the fantastic work! I'm sure I'm alone when I say I really appreciate it.

I really appreciate the kind words! I also just updated the Jerky to have a 30 day shelf life. It wont break a save, but it may not affect existing jerky you have already made.
Heh, oops. I meant to say "I'm sure I'm NOT alone..." >.<
Thanks again Abraxus! Keep it coming!

:P I knew what ya meant!
Anyway here's some thoughts for the future of Superior Crafting....
I'm thinking of breaking the mod down as follows:
The Core "Superior Crafting: The Return" Mod (Required for all expansions)
Expansions will be separate, but will require the core mod (Will not be expansion dependent)
Expansions will be things like the "Keepin' Cool" edition (Which adds more temperature control items)
Expansions ideas I have planned...
Keepin' Cool (Already implemented, but not separate)
Let's Get Cookin' (Expansion of the cooking system, inspiration taken from Hermit's Farm Mod (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=8719.0)
This would help me expand on SC without having to rework one huge mod each time a new alpha is released, and also allow me to integrate popular mods so people can choose what content they wish to expand on. What do you all think?
Quote from: Canute on March 30, 2015, 03:12:42 AM
Did you do anything to the Traders ?
I notice the bulk trader never sold Uranium anymore, and no other trader sold that either.
I'm going to do a full rework of the traders. Thank you for pointing this out, I'll double check to see what the deal is with uranium, and get a fix out if needed ASAP.
<3
Just an update...
Traders now updated. New traders added and existing ones balanced. Exotic trader now offers Uranium.
Would it be possible to add Bionic Organs as well as a sort of chest replacement?
Another idea would be to give tiered upgrades to pre-existing objects when research stages finish.
So I recently started trying a new world with this mod and so far it is great. I am however having an issue with the jerky, although I'm not sure its not simply an compatibility issue with biodiversity. On jerky I am having two spoil dates, one of 4 days and one of the 30 listed for this mod. After the 4 days expire the item simply disappears. Other than that it seems to be working fine with biodiversity though.

Ok, I believe I have the expiration date issue fixed. It was picking up the 4 day expire ParentName="MealRottable" - made the correction, tested, and now it should be working normally. Note any jerky you already have may not pick up the change.
I couldn't find a download link for this awesome mod pack. Could anyone assist me with this?

Oh, that's fast.
Always good to see people responsive about their work :D
On another note, I researched security one, and was surprised to see that it also unlocked the improvised steel turret-and that it needed 60 steel bars and 80 steel ore(or was it the other way around?) to make. Interesting.
So I was wondering, would it be possible to make all buildings and such need steel bars rather than ore, and have the starting resources be bars instead of ore?
This mod seems to make Rimworld what it feels like it should be. A struggle to build, and tradeoff decisions for research. I love it.
One thing I noticed however, is that for the "No meal source" tip the game gives, it does not recognize the grill as a meal source.
One small suggestion that I would love to see added (not sure if it is even possible within the RimWorld modding framework). One of the construction levels should allow the ability to build a foundation or platform that would replace water or mud with concrete so that it can be built upon.

That almost appears as if you may be having a mod conflict of some sort. The only turret that is unlocking with security I is the manned turret which is set to cost 250 steel bars. I double checked starting a new game and I only see that one unlocking.

The no meal source error appears to be tied to the hardcoded tutorial not recognizing the grill - I'll see what I can do to fix this, but I can't promise anything. As for the other suggestion, you can use the Terraforming pump to achieve just what you want. It unlocks with Agriculture IV.
This is by far the best mod out there, thanks.
I've just updated to the latest version, and there something odd. I can't seem to be able to issue repair orders, but I'm starting to think that the fault lies somewhere on my end.

This is a fantastic mod. I love the tech tree and the slow going rough start that it forces on the player. It give me a reason to grow multiple crops and forces me to rely on farming and hunting to survive (I generally jump right into hydroponics).
I restarted my game just to give it a shot and it's forced me to completely rethink my mod loadout. Combined with the Crash Landing mod it creates a rather brutal start to a colony but that's not really a bad thing.

Updated to version 2f - did a pass on construction costs for all items, and fixed items so they now require the proper materials to build.

I found out the problem. It's the Combat Realism Mod. During a fight, I realized that the Combat Realism mod wasn't working when put behind your mod, so I put it in front(Ebd Mod order is very useful) and that makes the improvised turret appear in the security tab. I researched security right after re-ordering my mods, so I thought it was the research that made it appear. Oops, my bad.
On another note, would you consider re-naming steel/plasteel ore to steel/plasteel slag or something among the lines? The compact steel/plasteel says 'ruins of a ancient structure rich in steel/plasteel', but drops... ores... Also, using ores when building is weird. Just my two cents.
Now that I've loaded the mod, the game is perpetually frozen. Is it just taking an eternity to load or what?
New update to version 2g!
* New Steam Generator unlocked at Power I that uses wood logs or ethanol fuel to generate power

Ugh, so, much, crafting......
My pawns are working their butts off making planks, metal bars, sand, bricks, glass, jerky, and more, then mining, then actually building a place to sleep in...
And I can't generate nearly enough power thanks to the mountains preventing me from placing wind turbines, so I need to research more things, but I need more stuff to...
Well, basically, my game so far has been crafting, crafting, building a few things, crafting, crafting, beating off raiders(I got a charge rifle off a dead raider two moths into the game, on the second raid. The heck? Well, not complaining, makes taking care of those pesky raider easier) then crafting again.
I seriously need more pawns to craft, but I don't have the supplies to feed them, so I need to build better stuff, so I need to craft more stuff, so I need more pawns.
I like it, but it feels slightly too grindy.

Perhaps at the moment it's a little too micro? It seems to me that, in vanilla, Tynan wishes to be more macro and not so fiddly about the little parts of constructed things - instead focusing on what the primary resource is when building/crafting. So, just wood to make walls instead of wood and nails and tools and the other resources you'd
really need to make a dwelling. So I'm sort of using that as a baseline when I play with mods.
I know the aim with this mod is to add a bit more complexity to the equation, but if you're open to the idea of tuning the resource requirements a bit, Abraxus, I would be happy to share my impressions. Not that I'm anyone special, mind. But I do so love taking notes and even sometimes making charts. :)

Well, I said in my original post, and I will restate - this mod may not be for everyone. The whole point of the mod is to add a bit of complexity to the research and crafting aspect of the game, as well as extend the time it takes for you to grow your colony. If I changed or removed the production chain, it would not really be the same mod I set out to make in the first place.
That said, I would very much enjoy conversation about balancing the build times/resource cost of items. Included with the mod is an excel spreadsheet I use to help me with the balance aspect, but again I am very open to discussing changes on that. I encourage you to take a look at it, and provide feedback. Also, anyone who would like to help test, and/or share ideas, please PM me and I will be happy to provide you with the info to access my teamspeak server. I prefer real-time conversation, as I find it much more productive than PMs or emails.
*EDIT*
I made some changes to the crafting times for both the hand-crafted and powered recipes. This seems to have made things feel alot less grindy. I'm going to do a bit more testing, but hope to have the updated build available later today after work.
Been really enjoying this mod so far. I think the production chain feels pretty good, it isn't too finicky and encourages you to not go hog wild with building because it'll take forever to gather the resources and craft the materials. You got to be measured I've even set up switches in my base to turn power on and off to conserve it and avoid having to splurge on more power generators.
The game just feels like you have to be a lot more active with managing Bills and what jobs people are doing. Sometimes you have to sacrifice a little progress in one area for more progress in another, which makes it all more stressful but also more challenging and I really like that.
I am currently having problems trying to build Plasteel Bars. Guessing it should be the smelter but I only have the option for Steel bars? Maybe its in another crafting bench, but I have checked most of them I can find and no luck so far. Most of my researches are up to level 3 now and trying to build a smithing table but don't have plasteel bars just regular plasteel.
This mod seems really interesting but sounds like you're basically screwed if you don't start in an area with a specific resource you need. I went to play the mod and spawned on a map with no limestone, and was totally unable to even make steel bars since I couldn't build it without limestone.
Perhaps implement the Stuff system into the mod?

- FAQ -
Question: I want to build a furnace, but it wants to make it out of slate blocks and I don't have any and can't make any.
Answer: If you click on the icon in the build menu, you can select what types of blocks you can build it from. Sometimes the default selection isn't a type of block you may already have. - note- you must already have blocks crafted and in your stockpile to be able to change the default build selection.

Plasteel Bars are made at the electric smelter - the basic non powered furnace is not hot enough to smelt plasteel.

- No use for gold ? I got 200 gold on sthe stockpile, so i should get the build option for it. Not for walls,doors or any other thing.
Only i can select it to made sculpture's.
I am still reworking the recipe work times and resource costs. I agree gold should be more useful, but one problem you run into with gold (and silver) is the weight value of them isn't the same as standard resources, so balance is tricky. Expect to see it be more useful in the next update this evening EST.

- Sabre Blast shield, just Steel bars + Basic, missing 5-15 electronic and/plasteel bar.
- Blast shield, i notice the shield keep the shield charge when it disconnect from the powergrid or turned off. i think it should loose it charges without energy.
And i think 200 are a big less for that big shield. I would increase to 500. 1 Shield for 1 energy it use. 1 centipede with charge blaster just would let it collapse after the 1.salvo.
Great suggestions, I will look into changing that.

- furniture, need some beauty overhaul. Hyperweave give the same beauty like cloth. Wood plank stool (15) give more beauty then a cloth chair (3) or a plasteel chair (4).
Maybe create a new textile material, brokat +1 cloth + syn + hyper for a high beauty textile.
I didn't change any of the default stat values of any of the cloth from vanilla. I will go through them as well to try and provide a better balance.

Are you asking there be a popup warning telling you to place a hopper? I can certainly do that if you think it would help.

- Artifical bone's. I got the bill "do until you have 30", on the stockpile next to the workbench are 48 bones, but the bill is still active. Tryed to kill and redo the bill but still same.
It sounds like the bones may not be placed on a stockpile configured for them. All crafting tables work orders based on the supply it reads from the stockpile. This is a game feature, not mod related.
One thing I think this mod could use (and that's a really short list) is something similar to the mine from the Industrialization mod. While scrap can be converted, it's not hard to run out of steel on a non-hills map. Maybe under the construction tree.
So how do those holosuites, medic dolls and such work? I wasn't able to put in a bill or interact with them when I tried.
Am I looking over something?
Also, do you think this is compatible with 'Nu Metals'? It changes mining. For instance, instead of getting ready-to-use steel from mining compacted steel, you get iron, which you have to use with wood logs to smelt into steel.
That said, wood logs are used in a lot of recipes... Even with just your mod I had a shortage of wood pretty quickly. I don't particularly like filling up all of my outside area with planted forests. Any ideas?
I think the build costs and times right now are fine. We don't want to make the game too grindy. I might change the cost of making art out of stone (it's ridiculous right now) but that's it.
One thing I would really like to see is the frequency of the Blight reduced - a lot. Right now it happens on average every 20 days, which is incredibly frustrating and not fun at all. At the very least allow us to create some building that protects crops from blight in a specific radius, like the sun lamp.

They are mannable objects like turrets. You have to take control of the colonist and then right click the item and tell them to man it. They will continue to use it until they get tired or hungry or you interrupt them.

Depending on the biome you start with that's part of the challenge. Actually, you get 15/20 wood planks for 10 logs so you actually make out better in the long run. As for mod compatibility, without looking at the mod first I would guess it would be a huge undertaking to change as I basically did the same thing they did....created a production chain.

The build costs won't change, but I reduced the time it takes to actually craft the resources, so it is much less grindy now. I'll have that update out in a few hours. I have a couple things left to go over before I push it out and I want to make sure I test everything as well.

Like hydroponics bays and indoor farming?
I think this would be a great addition to the Hydroponics bays. I can't promise I'll have that out tonight, but I will work on adding it.

One small suggestion that I would love to see added (not sure if it is even possible within the RimWorld modding framework). One of the construction levels should allow the ability to build a foundation or platform that would replace water or mud with concrete so that it can be built upon.
As for the other suggestion, you can use the Terraforming pump to achieve just what you want. It unlocks with Agriculture IV.
Thanks, the Terraforming pump seems to work great for building on mud. Any thought to some way to pump out at least shallow water and construct over that? Even if I have to lay down some kind of stone foundation first, I would be perfectly good with that. It is just annoying when you have an underground base planned out and hit small caves full of water that mess everything up.
Hydroponics bays still get blight. AND if a solar flare occurs everything dies instantly, so not that great.
Hello Abrexus. I have a slight problem. I would like to play with your mod and zombie apocalipse but when I add your mod its disables zombies. I may screwed up something or activated in wrong order, don't know. Yesterday I played with zombies with other mods and it worked:cyberneticstorm, glittertech, all EdB mods, turret collection + overkill, status icons, and less incident trolling.
If you would be kind to help it would be apprechiated.

Try creating a new world....activate just the zombie mod and my mod (the EdB interface is ok as well) and see if that fixes it. Then I would slowly add back any additional mods you may be using to see if there's a conflict.
Hi fellow Rimworld players, I am a new player here. Well, I've been playing for about 2 months and feel good in my Rimworld abilities. I would like to try this mod. Where can I download this mod. It looks really sweet and fills some holes that the game was missing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you were replying to Abrexus because you thought his update was already out, or if you're replying to my last reply.
In case of the latter, I meant to use the hydroponics bays as a blight-free option, mod them that way. (Like Abrexus is trying to add.)
For 'indoor farming', I was thinking of special doors that would mark the room inside as blight-resistant.
I'm no modder, I don't know what is do-able. I've just got a creative mind. ::)
Version 2h is live! A huge thank you to everyone who has given feedback. The changes are listed below:
* Added hopper alert for steam generator
* Reworked the beauty factor for furniture (items scale properly based on what they're made of)
* Reworked the crafting work times for resources and items - crafting times reduced resulting in a much less "grindy" experience
* Increased the Sabre Shield to 500 from 200 HP and modified the required resources to make it
* Electronics now requires Silver and Sand - cost to make is balanced with market value
The crafting work time rework did take me alot of time, as I wanted to test each item and make sure it worked properly and felt balanced. After playing most of the night, I can say it truly feels much better than it did before. The next update is going to be a version 3, unless alpha 10 launches before then. If so, I'll work first on updating the mod before adding any new features.
Am I missing something about the medical bed? I studied the Medicine and it says that my colonists can construct medical beds and also that I can plant a medicinal herb. I am able to plant the herb but I can't find the medical bed anywhere.

Try downloading the new update again. I may have copied the wrong zip file. It should unlock with medicine.
Yea, loaded the update and it's still not showing up. It does show up when I put god mode on. I've only learned the first medicine, although it does say hospital bed in it, is there another level that will give me the hospital bed? Great work on the mod by the way.
Edit: So I kept going and after researching Chemlab the hospital bed popped up. Not sure if that is working as intended or not.

Quote from: Baarogue on April 01, 2015, 01:24:11 AM
Perhaps at the moment it's a little too micro? It seems to me that, in vanilla, Tynan wishes to be more macro and not so fiddly about the little parts of constructed things - instead focusing on what the primary resource is when building/crafting. So, just wood to make walls instead of wood and nails and tools and the other resources you'd really need to make a dwelling. So I'm sort of using that as a baseline when I play with mods.
I know the aim with this mod is to add a bit more complexity to the equation, but if you're open to the idea of tuning the resource requirements a bit, Abraxus, I would be happy to share my impressions. Not that I'm anyone special, mind. But I do so love taking notes and even sometimes making charts. :)
Well, I said in my original post, and I will restate - this mod may not be for everyone. The whole point of the mod is to add a bit of complexity to the research and crafting aspect of the game, as well as extend the time it takes for you to grow your colony. If I changed or removed the production chain, it would not really be the same mod I set out to make in the first place.
That said, I would very much enjoy conversation about balancing the build times/resource cost of items. Included with the mod is an excel spreadsheet I use to help me with the balance aspect, but again I am very open to discussing changes on that. I encourage you to take a look at it, and provide feedback. Also, anyone who would like to help test, and/or share ideas, please PM me and I will be happy to provide you with the info to access my teamspeak server. I prefer real-time conversation, as I find it much more productive than PMs or emails.
*EDIT*
I made some changes to the crafting times for both the hand-crafted and powered recipes. This seems to have made things feel alot less grindy. I'm going to do a bit more testing, but hope to have the updated build available later today after work.
Thanks for the adjustments. I'll check them out tomorrow. :)
I can't find the excel spreadsheet you mention here. Am I blind or is it buried in a folder I'm not looking in?
While we're on the topic of grindyness - probably the most vexing problem I've faced is coming up with enough sand to keep up production of other items. Even on a mountain map in the DESERT, I'm constantly short on sand, and on chunks as well. I'm actually thinking of "cheating" a bit and loading up the Omni-Gel mod, which lets you grow plants that you can turn into chunks.
I think sand should be made more accessible/easier to acquire. It's considerably more precious than plasteel in my games, for instance.
Sounds cool enough to nearly be the only mod I use, nearly :D

How about, uh, gathering sand from sand tiles or something? Like, some kind of thing that if you build on sand, you can gather sand from it or something?

Sorry, BUT i don't think hydroponics should be immun to Solar flares/blight.
You got Terraform pump and mulch, you can made nice indoor farm's with that.
Maybe hydroponics are still faster, but then they should have some risk too.
These hydroponics bays are controlled environments. They shouldn't be affected by a blight in the air.
Same goes for, what I think you misunderstand my point is, a hermetically sealed room with a decontamination sluice.
Solar flares affect your electrical system, not organics. Unless you have protection against flares, your power will go off.
The game has no protection against flares, so you'll always be at risk losing your hydroponics.
I've always found hydroponics to be rather costly to make, so I never really found I wanted to build them instead of sunlamp-lit outdoor farms and focus on building other things.
In this thread it was mentioned that plasteel bars are made at the electric smelter, where there is only a bill for just plasteel (which I have in abundance, I need bars for the smithing table)
Can't find it anywhere else either or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Could it be because of a mod conflict?

Yeah I got these (http://puu.sh/gYLOV/e75b82a2cb.jpg), probably the industrialization mod. Guess I'll have to buy them from a trader for the remainder of this colony :v
great mod by the way.
Any chance of getting helmets added in to the list of items we can craft? Seems like they would be easier to craft than armor and weapons, so it makes sense to me.

Did you use the lite version of industrialization ?
I don't think the standard version of industrialization are friendly with any other crafting mod.
yeah I'm using the lite version cause the standard one caused too many troubles.
For those interested, I have integrated some other mods into Superior Crafting.
I'm just adding this to this mod's thread rather than starting a new one. Abrexus is welcomed to do whatever with these files I guess? Anyway, this brings in the mine, lathe, concrete mixer and nuke plant from Industrialization, along with the high-powered power plants from glittertech and the enhanced battery. All of these use resources from Superior Crafting, with the exception of Titanium from glittertech. I removed copper and aluminium from Industrialization, adding titanium and plasteel to the mining bills. Also I added in the fuseboxes and quantum storage stuff from RT's mods. again these will need resources from superior crafting (electronics.) Research has been adjusted for these as well, they're there, just unlock most of the power and construction trees to open up research for the items. High-grade steel is also present (from industrialization) along with associated smelters. I have not resolved producing Magnetic Coils, Alpha Poly and Beta Poly. So you will have to buy those from the Black Market trader (included in More Superior Crafting.)
All of this works fine with Zombies as well, been playing with this for a few days now, just thought I'd share my tweaks.
Recommended load order: Prepare Carefully, Enhanced Interface, Superior Crafting, More Superior Crafting, Zombies. Not using any other mods.
Mod found here: https://www.pkunk.net/rimworld/MoreSuperiorCrafting.2015.04.02.7z (https://www.pkunk.net/rimworld/MoreSuperiorCrafting.2015.04.02.7z)
Edit: Almost forgot, I also put in the ceiling lights (and adjusted their cost), and a couple of the resource storage tables from Clutter.
One more edit: The power switch mod is in this as well.
Minor bug: When placing an automated sniper turret, the range circle shown around it is not correct. It shows only the range of the normal turret, not the 45 range of the sniper turret.
Another bug: At the Chemlab, when you have a "Create until you have x" Bill setup for artificial bones, it is counting the number of stacks of bones, rather than the actual number of bones in each stack for the total.
I think there may be a conflict with Zombies afterall. I crafted an advanced prosthetic leg, but there was no bill to install it onto a colonist.
Looking at the XML's for both, seems both are redefining "BasePawn" and "Human" which is breaking things.
Does anyone see value in having an option for crafted bills to have a "keep x amount in stock"? I feel that is kind of in between making an infinite amount of something and only telling it to craft x amount of times.

I sometimes do. As we need both wood planks and logs, it's nice to just have 1000 of just planks. Same goes with medication... you just need like 100 of those.

Isn't that how "make until you have X" already works? At least, that's how it works for me. I always set up a "make simple meals until you have X" bill on my stove and my cooks always get to work replenishing the stock every mealtime without my further input.
I would like a 'make until between X and Y' or something like that.
It's really annoying to have my cook run along to the kitchen every time a guy goes to eat, and having him say, make 15 meals, then only go to make more if our meal stockpile goes below 5 would be a real help.
If you're gonna start on helmets, why not go the whole 9-yards and do up a complex crafting system to create armor and weapons, much like how the current Bionic system works?

There already is armor/weapon crafting, I just didn't put in helmets prior to releasing.
Thanks for all the great work and quick fixes Abrexus, this is definitely my favorite mod out there.
One small balancing issue, and of course, with all things balance related, this is just opinion. It seems to me that guns are crafted way too quickly. After all, building a gun by hand from scratch requires a lot of time to machine and fit parts, etc. I would suggest the crafting time for guns be more on the order of a large sculpture where it takes several days. After all, the only truly limited resource in a game like this is time. Every thing else can be replenished by spending enough time on it, so that should really be the resource most adjusted to maintain a good balance.

I was wondering this, I installed the mod and played last night for a while, researched all the tier 1 stuff and was building all kinds of things. I am loving all the changes so far and was hoping there was something in the higher tier's for building real guns. I wish there was a spreadsheet or something that would show all the items that could be crafted and where they come from and what resources they need, etc...

That's a good point, and I struggled with the time to work for crafted weapons. This evening I plan to add the helmets, and I'll take a second look at adjusting the times.

Did you change anything at the crafting quality system ?
My crafter got crafting 20 and was crafting with that skill 15+ duster and the best one was just excellent.
Normaly i would get some masterpieces and legendary or i just was unlucky this time.
I did nothing to change the quality of crafted items. In fact I didn't even touch the cloth recipes.
Can you please put the stone cutting bench as its used by the droids in m2 industrialisation, you both use it to make ur sand, but somehow theyre different kinds of sand, ones for your glass and the other is for his silicon.

One small balancing issue, and of course, with all things balance related, this is just opinion. It seems to me that guns are crafted way too quickly. After all, building a gun by hand from scratch requires a lot of time to machine and fit parts, etc. I would suggest the crafting time for guns be more on the order of a large sculpture where it takes several days. After all, the only truly limited resource in a game like this is time. Every thing else can be replenished by spending enough time on it, so that should really be the resource most adjusted to maintain a good balance.
That's a good point, and I struggled with the time to work for crafted weapons. This evening I plan to add the helmets, and I'll take a second look at adjusting the times.
Just note that, if realism is the goal, real month in Rimworld is only 12 days, so 6 days is 15 real days and so on. So one must think how long crafting would take in real life and then divide it to fit Rimworld time. :)
Btw, i'm really having a blast with this mod. I like that tiered researching and other features, i'm also using prison improvements and few other mods. :P
Wood floor #3, the 'Carved oak flooring for the stylish colonist', look weird to anyone else? It's twice the beauty ranking of the initial wood floor, but it looks so odd. Are there other wood floors that I'll be able to get later on so I don't have to worry about this one as much?
Oh my god.
I just noticed SupCrafting is back. Now I can play me some RimWorld again (after trying SupCrafting I've got a sort of a mental block which prevents me from playing vanilla any more)!
Abrexus, you're my hero.
It can't possibly be. A modpack similar to TTM. For Alpha 9. I might actually have to update to A9 and really get back into playing. OP, you're an awful person for doing this to me.
I really like how the latest update feels. You were right that the adjusted crafting times make everything flow in a much more satisfying way.
I especially like the Steam Generator. It's fun! One suggestion: Can we have a button to turn the generator on or off (Kind of like the coal power generator from Mechanical Defense 2). That way it can serve as a backup/reserve power source even into the late game.
Also is there any chance we could integrate EatKenny's Browning .50 Cal Turret into the mod? It's super, super satisfying, not over or underpowered, and it would be nice if we could make it out of steel bars instead of ore (it currently costs 550 steel ore, and has a similar range to the sentry turret, 50% more damage, better accuracy, larger size, and an awesome sound effect).
Finally, could we have reinforced/buried/hidden power conduits integrated into the mod? I think they're in the Enhanced Defence mod. They're twice as durable as regular power conduits and hidden. They could unlock at Power III or Power II, or maybe Construction III (which currently only unlocks blast doors).

I think that could be added! And thanks to all the nice comments, I am glad to be back. Huge update later today....keep an eye out! The update will not be save game breaking either :)

No just these 3.
And personaly i don't think the look for the carved oak isn't that bad.
At moment i use it for the private rooms, while the main room got a mosaik of this and #2.
Do you mind providing a screenshot of how your rooms look with the wood? Thanks.
Thanks for the screenshot. I still think it looks odd, maybe I'm the odd man out. By the way, where do you get those character icons in the top right corner?
Is crop generation affected at all with this mod? I feel like with strictly vanilla my freezer was almost always full with harvest but I find that I'm having a hard time keeping up with the demand with this mod.

The crop stats were not changes at all with this mod. The only thing added was that the cotton plant produces cotton instead of cloth directly (same with devilstrand) - growth rate and output has not changed.

Thanks for the fast reply, I guess I'll pull up my other save and see what the difference is.

For those interested, I have integrated some other mods into Superior Crafting.
I'm just adding this to this mod's thread rather than starting a new one. Abrexus is welcomed to do whatever with these files I guess? Anyway, this brings in the mine, lathe, concrete mixer and nuke plant from Industrialization, along with the high-powered power plants from glittertech and the enhanced battery. All of these use resources from Superior Crafting, with the exception of Titanium from glittertech. I removed copper and aluminium from Industrialization, adding titanium and plasteel to the mining bills. Also I added in the fuseboxes and quantum storage stuff from RT's mods. again these will need resources from superior crafting (electronics.) Research has been adjusted for these as well, they're there, just unlock most of the power and construction trees to open up research for the items. High-grade steel is also present (from industrialization) along with associated smelters. I have not resolved producing Magnetic Coils, Alpha Poly and Beta Poly. So you will have to buy those from the Black Market trader (included in More Superior Crafting.)
All of this works fine with Zombies as well, been playing with this for a few days now, just thought I'd share my tweaks.
Recommended load order: Prepare Carefully, Enhanced Interface, Superior Crafting, More Superior Crafting, Zombies. Not using any other mods.
Mod found here: https://www.pkunk.net/rimworld/MoreSuperiorCrafting.2015.04.02.7z (https://www.pkunk.net/rimworld/MoreSuperiorCrafting.2015.04.02.7z)
Edit: Almost forgot, I also put in the ceiling lights (and adjusted their cost), and a couple of the resource storage tables from Clutter.
One more edit: The power switch mod is in this as well.
Anyone have a mirror for this, cannot seem to get it to downloaded from that site.
EDIT: NVM, it finally worked.
What exactly does mulch do for us? I understand fertilizing the soil, but what exactly does it mean for the game? I had a bunch of crops planted and then I threw mulch under it all and I'm not sure it did anything. Is the mulch only to be used on ground that you can't plant on initially?

Fertilisation means the ground becomes more fertile, which in turn means your crops take less time to grow.
Personally feel the difference isn't notable last time I played (older version), but I never really found hydroponics bays to be a lot better either.

Thanks. I'll probably be shifting to hydroponics soon enough, just to get out of the heat, but was just wondering about the mulch.

Mulch allows you to turn normal soil into fertile soil. Again, I didn't change the default vanilla values of soil, fertile soil, or the hydroponics bay growth rates, but it may be worth taking a look at.
I think rich soil grows 15% more quickly. Not really that significant.
Hydroponics doesn't really offer any real advantage over regular farming either considering its huge cost to set up. And all it takes is a power outage or solar flare to kill everything you're growing. I see it as something to use if you absolutely don't have any regular soil to farm.
Wow this mod puts a whole new spin on things. Up till now my researcher was also my crafter, but that has to change now. Mod makes the start a little harder, and you need some more planning to work your way through it. All in all an excellent mod to add to the collection.
When and how are you supposed to select different crafting materials, disabled all other mods, restarting game 20 times and I cannot change any of starting materials, sometimes they change them-self like bed leather, to random animal, but when I click on it, only selection is one it is on currently.
Only walls I can build is Wooden and I need slate for steel production table I though that was fixed as well, am I missing something here?

As you gather more materials, the other materials will open up and you'll be able to choose them like you usually can. That threw me for a loop when I first started playing with this mod as well.
I'm pretty confused as it comes to vents right now. I've upgraded completely when it comes to temperature control, and I'm pretty excited for the larger, industrial sized machines. I'm just not sure when I'd use all the different types of vents/ducts. The regular vent seems pretty good to me, I've got it strung between a few rooms and it keeps them all the same temperature. So when would I need the active vent? It says it can automatically close itself to control airflow. In what type of situation would I want it to close though?
The duct opening, smart fan, and powered fan are confusing as well. Anyone know of a link to maybe information for this or a youtube video that explains the differences? If not, if someone could explain it I would be grateful. If not, I guess I'll god mode it and try to see what they all do on a new colony.
Anyone else run out of plasteel pretty fast? I'm out, can't find more and i haven't seen any traders with it. Is there a way to cheat it in?
Other than that, I love the mod. One question though, for someone manning a turret, they don't seem to have a lot of defense from attackers. Can you place the turret behind something for cover? Or can a turret with built in cover be added in?

I've seen traders with it, but I definitely understand the chance that they don't have it, or the prices are ridiculous. You can turn on developer mode in the options, and then activate God Mode up top. At that point you'll be able to spawn anything that your colonists would be able to place. I'm not sure if you could just drop 2000 plasteel on the ground though.

Read the original mod thread here, (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11056.0) it explains how it works.
Update posted!
Superior Crafting is now split into the Core Mod, and expansions. The core mod includes all the features of Superior crafting, and the expansions add in mod integration of popular mods, as requested. The expansions are mostly the same as their original counterparts, but changed slightly to work within the Superior Crafting research tree, and resource changes. They are optional, and not required to run the main Superior Crafting Mod. If you already have a colony you started with a prior version of Superior Crafting, you will need the core mod and Xpac1 to continue with that colony. You can optionally add Xpac 2 & 3 as well.

Awsome! :) then if you have time you can make a mod ive been wanting for along time, a circuit breaker mod where one circuit breaker can cover the overload of 2 batteries during an overload event leaving you with half you current stored power, that way i can bring back that event. There is a fuse mod but all it does is stop the damage from the explosion, still draining all your power and i would like an actual circuit breaker that can save you half your current stored power along with stopping the explosion. my idea is that one circuit breaker can cover the load of two fully charged batteries. Obviously this is wishful thinking and you have enough on your plate as it is but if you get the time it would be amazing :)
My cotton plants are producing cloth instead of raw cotton(with latest expansion version, upgraded from previous all in one).
Hoppers need higher priority, my steam generator was fed only once at the start, now even with 2 hoppers noone is delivering wood *( yes its set to wood).
Some other suggestion for main mod , include https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9277.0 , small mod that could work very well with early food production if integrated to simple means, mushrooms can be used as vegetables or as extra meal
Ceiling lights :3 now i can finally finish my colony :D
Thanks alot for the update man!
I upgraded to the new version and installed XPac 1 and Xpac 2 (I was not running the prison enhancements before) and am seeing a major performance decrease. I now get little half-second pauses every few seconds. I only have 5 colonists at this point, so it is not caused by too many colonists (and this game was running very smooth before I upgraded the mods this morning.
What exactly does expansion 2 and 3 give? I'm guessing they are other mods that have been incorporated into this one, but I couldn't find anything on the prison improvements.

Not sure what's happening with your cotton plants. The code hasn't changed with the split, and my plants still produce raw cotton. What other mods are you running? I suspect you must have a mod loading that changes the Plants_Cultivated.xml file.
Also, I'll take a look at that other mod you suggest. I love the glowy look!
They're both awesome. Prison improvements gives you new tools for managing prisons and prisoners, and best of all allows you to forcibly enslave prisoners to do your dirty work.

The core mod and Xpac1 are the same as the prior version before the change. I suspect the problem must be with Xpac2. See if you experience the same problem with that one disabled.

^^ what he said :)
So I'm messing around with coolers and whatnot, and I've seen that if it's going to cool a room, it will outline in blue, heat will outline in red, but what exactly does yellow do? I think it has something to do with the sharing of temperatures. I'm trying to place a cooler deeper into the mountain without a legitimate way to get rid of the heat, I was just going to build a small recess behind the cooler to let the heat sit there. But when I go to place the cooler there it outlines everything in yellow. Does this mean that it won't work? That I would need to get that heat to the outside somehow?
I've been trying to figure out all the vents/duct work in developer mode and every time I go to place an Active Vent, I get the debuff thing popping up. Is this okay? Or will the active vent not work correctly?
Just wondering, do you know when the Aparello integration will be completed? I'm excited to see that included and don't want to start a new colony until it's out :)
Hey all
I decide to make a quick fix for this mod to the Zombie one.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B485pubk5LKdbXJBTjdDdWJrNXc/view?usp=sharing
I'll try google's drive for the download, if you guys have a problem with it just tell me.
or.... dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjrpz4upbyllr3c/Zombie%20SC9%20fix.zip?dl=0
On another note, I haven't fully tested it so bug reports would be good.
This is based on Ykara's Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Engineering fixes that's on the bottom of that OP's page.

Read it as 'ExplosionMania' and was excited. Then was slightly dissapointed.
Then saw the 'more mechanoid integration' as was excited again.
Just a question, but do I need to have the more mechanoid mod and the integration, or just the integration?
Eh, nevermind, figured it out.
On another note, I got the prison improvements thing, and made a slave collar, but can't do anything with it other then make my own colonists wear it, and pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work. Help?

I think the training things(Medical dummy, hologram[or whatever it was called]) need to be nerfed a bit. Or a lot.
I was able to train a level 20 medic and warden in a few in-game weeks. Sure they both had burning passion and spent all day on it, but considering my artist with burning passion or researcher with burning passion took a good two years of non-stop(other then eating or sleeping) work to reach level 20, it's pretty unbalanced.
Also, would like to be able to choose what stone to make. It really sucks when your colonists won't make those granite bricks to build your defenses because of the marble bricks you had them make for your artist, and juggling around the block-making is annoying.
Would it be possible to add an option somewhere to the "Extract Biomatter" job on the Organ Vat to automatically strip corpses first?
Also, my performance issue after the upgrade seems to have resolved itself after a few days of play. Can't tell you exactly what did it, but it may have been related to removing and re-designating my prison area, but that is mostly just speculation. If it recurs, I will try to isolate a solution more systematically.
is it possible to remove the vannila overhaul features? i like the normal research tree but i want the training equipment
Hello, I have a little problem. I am using this mod and one of my colonists lost her left ear. I didn't really care, made her a bionic one and tried having an operation but it is not there in the list. Before that I operated on another colonist healing her Torso Scar.
Seems that all prosthetics and organs have placeholder requirements, all of them require "Ingredients" say "Ingredients 30, Ingredients 20" instead of "Plasteel bars 30, Steel bars 20"

Welp, that could be a problem, because the only other mods I have are EdB Interface UI Mod and EdB Prepare Carefully and I saw this mod was tested with those. Oh, and I also have what Smikis wrote about prosthetic and organ requirements only having Ingredients in the description.
Edit: I looked inside Items_BodyParts.mxl and it's written in there what is required... Ingame it's not. I don't know what to do.

Seems if door to Embrasure is destroyed, roof collapses, killing everyone inside and also crushing majority of the walls, which makes no sense, its just a door >_<
Quote from: Canute on April 06, 2015, 06:43:05 PM
Didn't he wrote "made her a bionic one" ? So he got an ear, crafting isn't the problem i think.
Installing the bionic ear into the pawn is the problem.
Did you try to install the bionic ear to someone else then the one who miss an ear ?
Do you got medicin, not herbal medicin, regular medicin ?
Good questions. I also am at a loss as to what's wrong. I tested it twice, and I can craft and install the bionic ear on any of my colonists. I tried it on both an existing colony and a fresh one I started from scratch. Nothing has changed with that code in quite a while.
I can confirm that all bionic body parts work perfectly, and install properly. The only one I haven't tested is the Positronic Brain Implant (no AI cores to spare!)
So Abrexus.. I've noticed one mildly annoying thing going on with your mod since the beginning.
I has to do with the way <recipeMaker> is behaving within ThingDefs. Basically what I'm seeing, is when recipes are generated in this manner, directly inside the definition of things, when you go to the crafting station and add the bill, the right side of the window, it shows things like:
10 Ingredients
60 Ingredients
While the filtering in the center is accurate to which ingredients needed, the actual readout on the right is ambiguous. It's probably a flaw of some kind in the game's engine I guess.
However, I've worked out a work around to get the right side to properly read out like thus:
10 Plasteel bars
60 Steel bars
Basically, instead of shoving recipes into the thingdefs with <recipeMaker>, make a seperate recipe.xml and do the definitions in here in the format it desires. You can bind the recipes to a specific crafting station here, I've found, which is nice, cuz this gives us a way to add recipes to existing crafting stations without redefining the crafting station's recipe list. I can give you some of the mods to your files I've been working on to redo all the recipe definitions in this manner, if you want 'em.
One thing I haven't discovered is any sort of way to restrict a recipe to a technology development which would be really nice, since this could open up the ability of a research topic to add more recipes to an existing crafting station. If anyone here knows a way of doing that, please let me know. I've tried <researchPrerequisites> inside recipedefs, but it just throws an error on load.

Fertilisation means the ground becomes more fertile, which in turn means your crops take less time to grow.
Personally feel the difference isn't notable last time I played (older version), but I never really found hydroponics bays to be a lot better either.
Mulch allows you to turn normal soil into fertile soil. Again, I didn't change the default vanilla values of soil, fertile soil, or the hydroponics bay growth rates, but it may be worth taking a look at.
Devilstrand
Soil 35.6 days
Rich soil 30.7 days
Hydroponic 19.8 days
I absolutely didn't switch up mods in my head. ::)
It's probably a lot to ask, but have you considered implementing something like the droids from Mechanical Defense 2 or MAI?
I enjoy having alternatives for mundane jobs when no colonists are great at it. The trade-off in research and material costs felt balanced in MD2, but it would require some tweaking to fit better in your research tree. ;)
On an off-note, I talked about it in the MD2 thread; ideally I'd like to see a version where you just have a base hulk for droids, that can only do hauling/cleaning, and then you research and build 'programs' and/or extensions that you have to 'surgery' into them to get them to do other tasks. In my head, it might even work nicely if you could research and create different tiers of programs/extensions that would just lock the droids at a specific skill level. As in, instead of them just starting off with 15 in a skill and being able to rapidly learn, basic droids at level 5 and having programs that only up that 5 levels per tier. So eventually you would be able to make droids with skill level 20 in something, but it would be costly in time, materials and research.
Perhaps alternative hulks that make them stronger. With 'extensions', think replacements for arms/legs like a pneumatic pickaxe, hammer&drill, wheels and tracks to make them go faster (on- and off-road), surgical kit as an arm, stunbaton to motivate prisoners... :o
If I knew one thing about modding this game, I'd have a crack at it myself. :(
Love the steam boiler/generator. It's lovely. I've got 8 running and they provide most of the power in my colony.
However, could it be possible to make colonists not take things in hoppers when looking for resources? My colonists keep on getting the wood for mulch and buildings from the boiler room, so I have to keep on ordering them to put it back... I forbid it every time, but it's getting really annoying, and if I forget, well...

Good catch. I didn't realize recipemaker was doing this, and yes it must be in the way it reads it. I'll go ahead and make the change when I update to alpha 10. I'm pretty much done with changes at this point until the next alpha comes out (which I believe is going to be very soon.)
Okay okay. So what happened is the colonist lost her ear in a mining incident and did not have one on the left. On the health tab it wrote that it's missing, so I made a Bionic Ear, she was the one who made it no less. The problem is that when I try to set up the operation there isn't an option for that. I thought nothing of it at the time so I left it at that.
Then I saw that another colonist has a scar on her torso. On the Health tab I could set up the operation to remove the scar and it worked too using the green goo (Biomatter) and some medicine.
Is there anything else that is needed for Bionic operation than the ear and the Medicine pack?
Other than that I'm creating a clean install and downloading all the modzzz again.
Waaaaaait. I downloaded this from RimWorldNexus not from here. Maybe that's the problem?

I would like to know too.
I'd stream SC. but it seems to behave oddly with the droids from Mechanical Defense, and the Mending Table mod, so for the moment I'm going to skip SC.
I never stream Rimworld with out SC...like EVER. And I'm slowly adding more mods into the mix, mainly to help with compatibility with SC (we have had a few brainstorming sessions on stream and you guys may like the Alpha 10 release)
How do I use the slave collar on a prisoner? I crafted one and put it in my stockpile. However there is no option to enslave the prisoner or putting on them.
Does it work well with GlitterTech ?
Any chance we could get a exp pack that incorporates combat realism mod (also maybe the trenches/barbed wire from the defense submod), and/or the comm relay from clutter mod
also support for the locked doors part of miscellaneous mod

Just grabbed MD2 in its entirety so I'm gonna see if I can recreate your issues.
Also gonna play with Mod Order, may just solve the issue.
Behave oddly? I have both of these mods installed (complete MD2 and the Mending Table) along with SC and it all works fine. About the only annoyance I have is that the Cremator droid seems to have been updated to cremate everything, so I can't repurpose mechanoids with the MoreMechanoids mod but these are interaction unrelated to SC.
I find using EdB ModOrder and forcing SCA9Core to load just after Vanilla Core fixes any initial issues to the point where it loads old saves.

I will add that I was having problems with SC for a bit and everything fixed its self after I setup the ModOrder like this: Core, SCCore, XP1, XP2, XP3, Everything else.
So what weapon mods will work with SC, any suggestions?
ATM Mining&Co. works (once the recipe handler is fixed as I had to spawn in energy packs for weapon crafting just now)
I'm sure Project Armory will work out of the box once its updated.
Rimfire does not for some reason, it forces a cascading error log to the point where I can't find the source issue to report it.
Regarding Zombie Apocalypse compatibility fix.
You'd want to apply changes only to Zombie Apocalypse mod (overwrite Races_Zombie.xml), get yourself LoadOrder mod, and make sure Zombie Apocalypse loads AFTER Superior Crafting.
The other way doesn't seem to work, Zombie Apocalypse fails to properly start itself up, and you won't see "Zombie Virus Active" notification and won't get proper zombie raids.
It should be said that SC and its expansions should ALWAYS be loaded before any other mods.
I recommend adding this in bold on the main post.

I have a nice little modlist - http://pastebin.com/RcpyjcUC
When SC is installed, Droids with Mending do not mend, and Growers do not grow. Mending can be forced, with right clicking, but growing cannot.

I haven't completely decided yet but It has been posted that Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Engineering is one of the best ones for that kind of stuff. I could make a patch for that one too, unless someone has another mod they would like
It seems like electronic chips eat a lot of sliver. It takes twenty silver for every five chips, so a auto turret needs two hundred silver each, as do saber shields... not to mention all the other things that need them.

Considering that it's all "late-game stuff" (AI turrets, shields, advanced prosthetics, etc) I'd say it's a nice balance. Silver is easy to obtain via bulk-trading, so if you want to set up lots of turrets or somesuch, you need to set up some reasonably valuable production (medicine is by far the most easy). Then you just sell your products for silver.
------------------------------
That being said, though, I think turrets need some small balance adjustments:
1) Basic turrets are quite weak compared to specialized turrets, yet have the same costs. I think it would be nice to just reduce costs to reflect their firepower. -75 metal and -75 metal, -5 chips for the manned and unmanned variants?
2) Gatlings are very universal and spammable (nothing beats moar dakka), up to the point where I don't even consider shotgun turrets except for indoors close-quarters where gatling tends to create lots of property damage due to stray bullets. I'd like to see gatlings treated as slightly more powerful than other specialized turrets (as they are). Perhaps slightly raise their costs?
Any chance of adding mining helmets to the mod?
So, quick question about the Terraforming pump, what exactly is its range? There is no designator, so I don't know exactly how far it can spread. :/
I placed one, but it only spread like, 2 blocks from where the pump was placed; is that its range?

So, quick question about the Terraforming pump, what exactly is its range? There is no designator, so I don't know exactly how far it can spread.
I believe it's exactly like old vanilla pump: 5 tiles radius (generally same area as sun lamp). It works rather slowly and it takes a lot of time to cover entire area.
25 total tiles become terraformed with the pump. That's not too bad.
Alright, Thanks. I was confused as to why it seemed to stop working, but I must have not given it enough time.

Oh.. I was really hoping I could just set it up and let it do an area the same as Sun Lamp. v.v Well, Guess I'll have to move the pumps around and everything.
Also, do you think there is ever a chance the superior crafting mod will add in like, light strips? Like, just strips you can place like lamps on the ground? I'm playing with the Darkness Mod, and besides 'Wall Lights' there isn't much choice for light options.
Quote from: Savagedingo on April 11, 2015, 02:19:05 PM

Eh, considering that the pump needs to be on solid ground, it you can only terraform a average of around ten or so tiles of liquid, which I find is the only place you would really use the pump on, as all other places, you can fertilize, or build hydroponics on. Not that much, really, and not really worth it in my opinion if you think about having to construct/deconstruct pumps all the time. I'd rather the pump be much more expensive to make, and eat up more power, but terraform a much larger area.
Edit: I would also like a ingratiation with Combat Realism. It works, but it acts slightly weird, so...

How exactly is it acting weird? I have had no odd issues so far.
Mainly, two different walls with different durability, improvised turret that uses 80 steel ore and 60(I think) resources, and the damage modifiers(walls more sturdy against bullets and weaker against explosions) not seeming to work perfectly when CR is loaded after SC, and
(seemingly) not working at all when CR is loaded before SC(shotguns fire a single large bullet, explosions don't send out sharpinal, etc)
Oh, also, I'm using the prison improvements ingratiation, and it seems to not work properly. You can build the structures, but can't transfer prisoners or enslave them. The option to do so doesn't appear at all. Also, the information tab for the fences claim that the fences and fence gates are made of wood when you can only craft them out of metal.
I'm really liking this mod, but I do have one question: How do I make low-tech items like knives and swords? I unlocked the smithing bench which makes hi-tech guns and whatnot, but I can't seem to figure out how to make clubs, spears, etc.
Well I know the Powered Crafting table does and thats a T2 Crafting and T1 Power upgrade I believe.
I haven't been able to get people to use the shooting range. Am I telling them to use it the wrong way?
Clicking or right clicking on it does nothing, and the game will stack things on top of it as if it doesn't exist.
Same thing's happening with the medical dummy.

What do you need sandstone blocks for? If it has to to with crafting things and needing them, remember that once you get materials of other kinds, you are then able to use those to craft things; i.e. the game loads in and says you need boarskin to make a bed, but once you get some cobra skin, it unlocks the option to make the cobra skin bed.
Is this what you're wanting the blocks for, or just because you like sandstone?
Exactly. The first game I played with SC, I saw that I needed turtle hide in order to make the beds, so I sent someone out hunting for them all the way across the map when there were boars and deer aplenty right there by stockpile.
Loving SC, but I'm having a hard time balancing all the crafting/grinding you need to do with security and mining and farming. I feel I need several dedicated crafters so early in the game.
Would still like to see someone do a Let's Play with SC on youtube (can't do twitch at work, even at lunch time).

I just want to give everyone an update to where I was the last week. I took my best friend of 15 years, Cody to peaceful pet passage on Saturday. He has had bad arthritis in his hips for a few years now, but the last week he could barely move and stopped eating. I could just see in his eyes he was in severe pain, and I couldn't stand to see him that way any more.
They couldn't have been kinder. It's a beautiful place, and they have a living room area setup where you can be with your pet in a homey environment (if home euthanasia is not a good option). When they gave him the shot to make him sleepy, it also has pain meds in it. About 2 minutes after the shot he let out this big sigh, and all the tension in his muscles disappeared. I hadn't seen him so relaxed in a long time. Every night when we went to bed, he would let out a sigh after laying down next to me, and he hasn't done that in a long time.
I knew at that moment I made the right decision. It was very hard, but to see him so pain free at the end was a true gift from God. I will be updating the mod for sure for Alpha 10 if it comes out before the weekend. If not, then I shall have a final Alpha 9 tweak version out in preparation for alpha 10.
Oo what an old boy Cody was!
I didn't know hiim and I don't know what to say but have a pat on the back
*pats Abby on the back*
Oh man! Very sorry for your lose. I just wanted to say:
Very nice mod. Thanks!
Very sorry for your loss, always difficult to lose a furry friend.
So so so sorry for your loss man. I'm a dog owner myself and recently had a health scare with one of my own, luckily she's alright. Looks like Cody was one happy dog towards the end and that's all you can really ask for, 15 is also a great age too! I'm sure he went out knowing you were doing the absolute best for him :) If there's anything I can do let me know!
Echoing the other notes of condolence. Thanks for the mod, btw.
Hey man, sorry I haven't been around, and sorry to hear about your pal, still I'm glad that you got some closure with him, and that he passed peacefully. I haven't messed with modding rim world in quite some time now, accidentally lost all my mod sources a while back and haven't really felt like redoing the work. Still I might take a look at the newest version, and see if it pulls me back in. Hope your doing well yourself.
Thank you everyone for the kind words! The update to alpha 10 is coming along very nicely, and I hope to have it posted before long. I can't say exactly when just yet, but I am hoping to have it done before the beginning of next week. If all goes well, it could be up much quicker than that.
I did get the C# code updated, I'm now just going through the XML files and making any necessary changes. I'm also making a few minor tweaks and fixes based on feedback I've received from various Twitch streamers I've been watching (and also from personal feedback from my play-throughs).
It looks like you're better of just having the prison improvements mod rather then the integration for superior crafting.
They are basically the same, you still use steel bars to make the doors, and you can transfer and enslave prisoners, while in the integration, you can't enslave or transfer prisoners.

I really appreciate your kind words. It's real motivation for me. The good news is......the update is done! I'm testing it now to make sure everything is actually working. Expect to see an update posted before too long.
Great mod man, I remember one of the recipes costs being switched around, though I forget what it was supposed to make. It was 1? + 5? = ?
The 5 was supposed to be a cheap ingredient but ended up being the ore expensive one. If I see it again in your Alpha 10 release I'll let you know.
First of all, thanks for the hard work! This mod is awesome, changes up the whole game, and for the better :)
Since you're in testing, there are a couple things I noticed with the A9 version (2g I believe)
- Sometimes (no clear pattern, appears to be random with do X times bills) they would start to construct the bionic arm, leg or spine from wood logs, which they can never finish. The work to make goes down to zero, then even into negative if you don't notice it in time. What this does is effectively halts the production for that bill - you have to delete the bill, haul away the unfinished wooden log bionic thing and start over. Does not seem to happen for bionic eyes though.
- For "Old gunshot" type wounds, the option to heal them with biomatter appears, but it doesn't actually do anything when applied. Works fine with scars.
Will there be anything we can do for Frail?

First of all, thanks for the hard work! This mod is awesome, changes up the whole game, and for the better :)
Since you're in testing, there are a couple things I noticed with the A9 version (2g I believe)
- Sometimes (no clear pattern, appears to be random with do X times bills) they would start to construct the bionic arm, leg or spine from wood logs, which they can never finish. The work to make goes down to zero, then even into negative if you don't notice it in time. What this does is effectively halts the production for that bill - you have to delete the bill, haul away the unfinished wooden log bionic thing and start over.

I've seen the same thing. Though in my case with a wooden bionic arm it was easy to fix. Just click on the "Unfinished XXXX" and click cancel. Somebody hauled away the wood and he started making an arm with correct materials.
Tonight at 9pm EDT, the mod will be streamed by Krazy_Tony_13 (http://www.twitch.tv/krazy_tony_13) on TwitchTV! Come join us to get an early access link for the mod download. The mod will be released on this thread right after the stream.

Such a tease!
I'll wait for the link to be posted here.
Not really a big fan of the "You have to come watch a stream to get this!" type things.
Link posted! The stream is still going strong, so please feel free to stop by and say hello if you get a chance!
I'm having issues getting this to work, I've basically crashed 10C and even unzipping the file and starting it without this MOD doesn't work now and also do I replace CORE with this MOD? Not sure what is going on...
Wait...you deleted the Core folder in the mods section? if so, put that back you silly thing! Always leave that checkmarked! And then just unzip SC's core mod into the mods folder!
Yeah, I figured it out, not sure what I did anyways having a big problem, the first tier turrets do not work and the steam generator, the colonists keep removing and adding the wood over and over again.... so its a bit hard to play without turrets (I like big waves of enemies) Please fix and thanks. Let me know if you need any further details, I'm running on 10C.
You have to set the priority of the hopper attached to the Steam Generator higher so they don't keep moving things.
You have to recruit your colonists and force them to man the turret before they'll use it.
Update to fix problem with turrets - should not be save breaking, but it may be necessary to remove any built turrets before updating.
Just wanted to say thanks. I no longer consider this mod an "option" but rather an essential part of the game, without which is simply cannot be enjoyed properly.
This mod is awesome, thank you so much. Keep up the great work! Also I found a few "bugs" but I'm not really sure if it's this mod or the game itself.. I somehow can't haul ranged weapons and I can't build doors, coolers, etc. on walls, I need to remove the wall first. The Alpha 10C patch should keep the colonists from relaxing socially in prisons, but when using this mod they're still doing it. Thanks again!
Great work once again Abrexus. Any word on when those expansions will be ready? Also, will you be alerting us to when you've tested with the mods you've listed on the front page?
I didn't read the whole 22 pages in this thread, so I am sorry if this was asked before. But is there any plans on making a compatibility patch for Combat Realism for when it comes out for alpha10? I actually just assume that it is not already compatible though.

Use the search function while in this thread to look up 'combat realism'. There are a few posts about it, none from the creator of this mod though.

I guess I had the same problem here, too. The colonist brings the wood to the hopper, stores it there and immediately picks it up again, repeating the cylce. He does that at a rate of 3 times per second, like a machine gun.
The only help was to draft the colonist so that the wood was on the hopper, and FORBID the wood. That way, my colonists keep refilling the hopper without removing the wood instantly.
That's a very creative fix! I may change it to auto-forbid the wood in the next update, or have it use "Kindling" instead.
First post to say thanks for the quick update. This and prepare carefully make me a very happy person today. As others have said, you've combined just about everything rimworld needs here, I can hardly play it without this.

I'm aware how manned turrets work, even the description is skewed on the turret, I built just about all of the tier one turrets and they all react the same, they do nothing when they are manned, also if they are like other manned turrets and start "moving" once manned, that is not happening either.

Just saw the fix notes! Sorry and thanks for the quick fix!!
Having a problem with the alpha 10's version, I deleted the lifespan part of the code from the torch and the campfire and now they disappear a few steps after being built.
You forgot to add:
<sowTags>
<li>Ground</li>
<li>Hydroponic</li>
</sowTags>
to all the Plants_Cultivated.xml crop items except potato :D

Hmm well i tried to grow the other plants after using the Devmode and unlocking all research and they still didnt show up as a option... maybe i did something weird ill try again.
I noticed in the latest release, you've declined to put the source code for the DLL in the distribution. Is that intensional? I was hoping to get the source code for the latest release to learn from?
In previous releases you had included the source code.

ok so after further testing i found that no research ulocks the new crops here is a fixed version of the Plants_Cultivated.xml for you to look over i made it so that you can only grow potatoes at first then after unlocking AgricultureI you can grow the rest of the Crops. just added this code <researchPrerequisite>AgricultureI</researchPrerequisite> as well as adding the <sowTags>

ok so after further testing i found that no research ulocks the new crops here is a fixed version of the Plants_Cultivated.xml for you to look over i made it so that you can only grow potatoes at first then after unlocking AgricultureI you can grow the rest of the Crops. just added this code <researchPrerequisite>AgricultureI</researchPrerequisite> as well as adding the <sowTags>

I have not had any issues with plants being unlocked by research. I can grow Devilstrand and Medical Plants just fine.
IDK how that is possible that is weird but my fix did not fix it the way i intended so ignore my post about the fix im still trying to figure out why the only crops im able ot grow is potato even aftuer fully researching everything.
I removed my post about the fix i tried to apply sorry for posting it before i tested it :-\ However i still can not grow new crops other than potato even after researching AgricultureI, i am using the updated version SCA10Core0419 and running Alpha10C... if anyone could shed some light on the situation it would be much appreciated. :D
@Ninefinger: Maybe other mods? After i reasearch cotton-research i can grow them without problems. :) Edit: I also can grow rice and corn ect.^^
@Abrexus: Uhm only a little question.^^ Is it intensional that the normal build procedure dont work with your buildings? Normal i build a thingy and if the colonists dont have enough materials yet they transport what they now have and after more material is stored they haul it and finish the build. But for exemple, the manned turret for 250 steel bars, i need to have exact or more as 250 steel bars in stock that the colonists start hauling. :'( If its intensional and you like this build procedure, i dont say anything but if not, can you maybe look into it and fix it please? ;D

I for some reason can not get the growing to work even after i unlock all research using the devmode, i have no other mods installed and using a clean game with no saves or configs. :-[
As for the build procedure, that is the way the pawns decide when to build stuff even with some things in the vanilla game i believe, you have to have all the required materials before they will begin to build said structure, that is intended as far as i know :)

Testet it and yes i think its a problem with the dev mode. Without it works, if i enable it and cheat the research nooo plants except potatos. :O
Uh i hate it if the colonists are that way, i never seen it befor. ;D

Yes, in vanilla they only start to build something when they have enough of a required resource. This changed during the last alpha. As for the plants, when you unlock all the research at once in dev mode it may overide the .dll call to add the sowtags. Try unlocking them one at a time instead of all at once.
the hoppers are set to critical, and one colonist (Danni, that miserable cow) is the only one that keeps swooping by and unloading them, nothing else is set to critical
Quote from: Slywyn on April 19, 2015, 01:58:09 AM
You have to set the priority of the hopper attached to the Steam Generator higher so they don't keep moving things.
You have to recruit your colonists and force them to man the turret before they'll use it.

Having a problem with the alpha 10's version, I deleted the lifespan part of the code from the torch and the campfire and now they disappear a few steps after being built.
Um so you removed there lifespan and are wondering why they disappear...?

You might have to try to change the number till you get a more desired result, there might be a max range on that number hard coded somewhere a long the line too idk, either in the mod itself, or in the core game, i know it is possible somehow to make it last forever, either by tweaking the numbers idk if a lower number means it lasts longer, if it does then setting it to 0 might do the trick, or you might have to make it a separate mod, and remove those two items form superior crafting all together, however i think that they last long enough specially since i dont really use them unless im going for super cold climate survival and even then if i increased them it would feel a bit cheaty especially if you only had to set one up and never have to worry about it again. ::) but that is just me.
Will A10 Superior Crafting have its expansions updated for Alpha 10? I really enjoyed all of them cept the Zombie fix [i dont use it, so I can't comment on it]

Having a problem with the alpha 10's version, I deleted the lifespan part of the code from the torch and the campfire and now they disappear a few steps after being built.
Um so you removed there lifespan and are wondering why they disappear...?

Ive fixed it. I before only deleted the part of the lifespan timer,( The part that tells how many steps the object lives) and left out
<li>
<compClass>CompLifespan</compClass>
</li>
Once I got rid of that the torches and fireplaces stayed forever. Just the way I like them to.
Updated on my B-day, what a gift.
DL in progress.
Thanks Abrexus, everything is working great, it was the Devmode thing that was the problem with overwriting the dll or whatever. Thats good to know when it comes to testing other mods in the future as well, thanks again man cheers! :D

the hoppers are set to critical, and one colonist (Danni, that miserable cow) is the only one that keeps swooping by and unloading them, nothing else is set to critical
Quote from: Slywyn on April 19, 2015, 01:58:09 AM
You have to set the priority of the hopper attached to the Steam Generator higher so they don't keep moving things.
You have to recruit your colonists and force them to man the turret before they'll use it.
Can it be that Danni is a crafter and he want made wood planks out of the log's ?
Then the hopper is maybe the closest source for wood log. You should just place another critical stockpile next to the workbench.
My wife is having this exact problems with wood logs on hoppers, we tested this idea, did not effect anything.

Updated to new version! Now the steam generator uses kindling as fuel to eliminate the "wood theft"
Also a few other changes and additions....please see the first page.

Got a small bug with hoppers on steam generator [first one you get] they put wood in it then the "cooking" person gets confused and takes it out... or bugs out and rapidly "removes" "place" "remove" "place" rapid fire happens.
Hard fix : Find a away for cooking people to ignore hoppers plugged into generators
Easy Fix : Create ingame structure Fuel Hopper and use that just for fuel and not attached to cooking at all.

Awesome thanks man! you are the greatest! :D i will let you know when i finish the modpack i am still waiting for Pawn state icons, EDB interface, vein miner, priority haul, and
prison improvements :D I've reversed the door opening speeds of woodlog door to 1.2 and woodplank door to 1.5 to as it feels better to have it that way, I've added a few of the lamps from advanced lighting to give both options for ceiling lights and standing lamps along with one outdoor rainproof Light pole integrated into your already created research tabs and to use your new resources like steel bars etc, Ive also added two replicator tables that take the same resources to craft as your bionic work bench, with omnigel to allow for replicating chunks and raw resources only, as to not run out of sand or other raw resources however i boosted the cost in which it takes to replicate the items so it takes a lot if growing to get any resources, it will be perfectly balanced once i test it fully, the omnigel plant is grow-able off the start since you coded new growth options after research into your dll, but you cant do anything with it till you research all the way to CraftingIV plus the extra 1000 research after to get the first work table then another 2000 to get the second one, Ive also added Alpha Muffalo, RT Fusebox all integrated with the research you have created and using the new materials you have added like steel bars etc, i also removed your extra turrets and embrasures and shield, as i felt they are overpowered and just kept the vanilla turret, i also changed all waist high objects like work tables to be passthroughonly so they don't work like embrasures, and i have added more hair styles animal hide working mod, and Darkness mod. :D

I love being able to repair people's organs though. Being able to fix frail torso would be nice too. It might be in already? I don't remember.
Any one find any work around to keep your cooks from removing the wood logs from the hoppers connected to the steam generators?
I'm currently testing haveing the logs forbidden, if that fails I'll just lock the door.

He updated it so it uses kindling now instead of logs :)
Actually, you already can just merely repair organs....well, not so much repair as replace, via the Organ Vat to create new organs.
Personally, I like Bionic Organs since I always aim for a Borg colony, complete with powered armor.
Its due to the way hoppers work. They are just a container for resources, their contents are available to be used if a requester needs them. So a builder needs logs to build something he looks for the closest cell containing logs, if its your hopper hes gonna take em. Forbidding would be the only way currently.
You could make the hopper tick rarely and have it set all contents to forbidden. issue is what if the resource becomes needed elsewhere? The player is forced to dismantle as unforbidding will just get forbidden next rare tick and setting the allowed resource wont matter cuz itll still get unforbidden, unless the check to auto forbid is allowed to be held and unforbidden...
my cook is still removing the kindling from the hopper. I'm not even sure if its a cook related issue, just that my only pawn that does this is the one thats the cook, but they are also one of my most active crafters.
Some people seem to think they are taking the logs out of the hopper because they are using them to build/craft with. Whats not what is going on. The logs are just being removed from the hopper and placed on the ground.
Now with it using kindling instead of the logs its even more clear that is whats going on, seeing as kindling is not used for any building or craft.

ALL walls can be made out of any processed material, Logs, Planks, Metal, and one of 4-5 brick types.
Some selections may not be available due to not enough material for that selection being in a stockpile. (aka atm, all you have is logs)

Like i said before, to change the fuel from log's to kindling don't solve the problem.
It is a cook/hopper problem.
I notice before the job of a cook are to refill the food hopper's even when he isn't enable for hauling.
And this is the problem.
The hopper is still marked as food hopper not as regular container, thats why the cook empty to hopper and try to refill it with food. But since food isn't enabled for this hopper it stay empty.
How about just having two hoppers? One for food and one for fuel. I always thought it was a little weird that it was a shared structure. The machine that dispenses corn and potatoes should be drastically different than the one that dispenses logs and gasoline.
I have a similiar problem with the hopper. Its no problem to fill them with kindlings but someone always come by and empties the hopper like canute says but the funny thing for my begins now. Sometimes the colonist immediatley fills the hopper again with the kindlings and everytime 1 kindling disappears. And he not tire to fill it one time i talk about 10-20 times. o.O
Edit: And as canute sayed, its only a problem with cook's disable cook and its fine, enable cook again and he run's to the hopper happy kindling switching and quiet giggles. ;D
For now, you can just forbid kindling in the hopper - your cook will leave it, and you haulers would still replenish it.
where can i get glass and sand
how about a "Stun Gun" or Stun Turret so i can get more helper buddies, i always like getting more help. i try to mod it in myself but is just crashes the game.

The "Great Hopper Fix of 2015" has been uploaded! Also made a few other small changes. Your cooks should leave them hoppas alone!
Abrexus you done goofed, you copy pasted your synth hopper onto your power hopper, so that it not only says the same description (which is fine) but to get a hopper for the steam engine, you need to research food synth to unlock both your hoppers.
TLDR, GenHopper needs to be <researchPrerequisite>PowerI</researchPrerequisite>, not researchPrerequisite>FoodSynthesizer</researchPrerequisite>, thanks for the fix though!, it really did need its own hopper, was getting tired of unchecking food stuff in the alpha 9 version

Sand can be made at the craftsman's table & powered crafting table.
Also if you don't mind Abrexus if you could add back in the vents from the previous Alpha 9 version, that'd be great! I ask because just having only a vent to equalize temp isn't enough for things like steam vents and being able to vent AC's (and use the heat), for example last playthrough I made a room behind my freezer, with the exhaust from the industrial cooler and some industrial heaters, then i pumped the hot air all throughout my base using the ducts and pumped the excess (during summer) outside my base (also using ducts). Can't really replicate that with just vents (mainly because there's no way to vent from inside to outside in a temp controlled way in vanilla

You use the operations tab just like you would for removing/replacing a body part, and if there is a scar that can be treated it will show up at the bottom of the window as shown below:
(http://i.imgur.com/qriH3zx.png)
Note, you will need Biomatter to remove them which you get fro the organ vat. Bad backs can be diagnosed to move them from the torso to the spine, then replacing the spine with a bionic one fixes that as well.

You're gonna have to show me how to do that stuff with the ducts and vents whenever it gets worked out. I never could figure out a reasonable way to use them.

Found a bug with the hoppers the Ai will rapidly "remove" "add" "remove" "add" anything that isnt food put in the hopper for no reason [fuel] [wood] is the only two items ive tried so far. but they keep taking the fuel out so icant use the genereator.
Running along side careful prep, and attempting to make a bionic spine will not complete. Runs down to 20ish work remaining and the colonist abandons the job. This also seems to break my workstation as clearing the bill and trying to start again results in no one working and I am unable to click on the table and prioritize the job.
If you need any info from me for debugging or whatnot just let me know.

I was just running into this issue on stream a few minutes ago. Abrexus should have this fixed on next release. For now, tell your Bionic table to suspend everything till the fix is set, otherwise, you'll get a pile of unfinished parts.

Aside from a few inconveniences (like placing "wall items" over existing walls.

I will have a fix for that out later today. I may just not use the "unfinished things" system unless I can work around the changes that were made to it for Alpha 10. Rest assured, I am aware of the problem, and will have a fix out for it soon. I appreciate your patience.
I really like your mod. I've got a couple of suggestions.
Would it be possible to give the organ vat a grow time?
I feel it's a little weird that you can just make a heart in a few minutes. There's already code for growing crops, could you use that to make the organs grow in the vat after they've 'been "initialized" by the crafter?
It might also make for interesting auto-crafting tables, that let you "grow" items without an active crafter. Kinda like futuristic 3d printers.
Ok, I just uploaded an update to fix the prosthetic crafting issue. Apparently unless you use the recipemaker, the game does not like the unfinished parts mechanic and will not let you go back and finish a started item. Since I moved all the prosthetic recipes away from the recipe maker system, this essentially broke the crafting of those items.
The reason I moved away from the recipemaker was because of the feedback in regards to the generic "ingredients" list that showed up when you were looking to see what an item required for materials. I would appreciate feedback on which system you prefer.

That's an interesting idea....I have to think about how to do that. At first glance it isn't as easy as it sounds, because you would have to write in a routine that asks for a resource before starting the "grow" cycle. However, that would open up the possibility of making planting require seeds.

The hopper issue is fixed. You just have to download the new version, and it isn't a problem anymore.

That says it all my friend! I really enjoy making the mod, and the challenges you face each time you update. It's almost a game unto itself. I believe I almost have the core version to the point I want it and am ready to start working on the expansions. As before I will try to make them not save breaking.

It wasn't a big thing from my side, just a cosmetic fix.
But an inexpierenced player it can be confused about what materials he need now to made these.
So i think it was the right choise to specify the materials on the recipes.
I agree, and I prefer having the materials listed myself.

Seems that both mods modify definitions for switch, but by looking that yours mod overide materials and resarch definition, while totally 'disable' functionality from @Haplo's mod, i've removed section in your cfg to fix it - downside is that power switch is avaiable early in game but quite useless.
Any chance to somehow fix this ?

That's an interesting idea....I have to think about how to do that. At first glance it isn't as easy as it sounds, because you would have to write in a routine that asks for a resource before starting the "grow" cycle. However, that would open up the possibility of making planting require seeds.
I admittedly only have a cursory knowledge (eg. woefully ignorant) about the inner workings at play here, but the hydroponics basin might be a good starting template: It grows stuff and consumes power. As for the ingredient requirement, I'm not sure if it's possible, but you could "magic curtain" it with a crafting table template. Have the organ vat behave like a crafting table until you supply it with the needed materials, then you can switch it to a hydroponics basin base that actually does the growing, and when the growing cycle finishes it swaps back to crafting mode so the end result can be removed and used. Am I making any sense here?
@ttr
make sure you Power Switch is loaded after Superior Crafting, and go into the cfg for power switch and at the end of the power switch add <researchPrerequisite>PowerI</researchPrerequisite>, or you could always just copy past that line of code from where it is in Superior Crafting, and paste it in Power Switch's file
Can you add something like a mending or item repair table? Maybe even an item-upgrade table where you can improve the quality of weapons and apperal for additional cost?

I second this, but I think an Upgrade/Disassemble option should be added to the items' respective crafting tables, so weapons are handled at the smithing table and apparel at the loom or something.

Your wish is my command! I'm actually working on something like that right now. Great suggestion!
Quite nice mod, but very unbalanced. I started in a world, with almost no sandstone. Just found quite enough to build a furnace (60 pieces). Furthermore no more sandstone so i got stuck for glass. No solar panels, and not even a radiostation (what is it named in english?), so i am not even able to buy sandstone.
Why the heck does a radio station need glass?
I suppose to build a furnace out of any kind of stone, and a radiostation out of whatever may be in every world, maybe metal only.
@Buuuh The furnaces can be built out of any kind of stone already, you just right click them

I've never noticed sandstone was necessary for sand, always took any type of stone I thought... unless I've just been lucky...
Just pulled the most recent version for my wife, the generator hopper description says 'holds resources for the food synthesizer', but it does work correctly.
@eberkain yea thats just a copy paste mistake, it'll work as intended
Abrexus, I am a huge fan of the modding community in this game, I took one look at your mod and had to do a double take. Im gonna try this out tonight and post my feelings about it tomorrow. Im very excited to try this mod and thank you so much for taking the time to make your mod what it is today. Anyways keep up the good work!

It wouldn't be Superior Crafting if I didn't have a typo (or 43) :o
I'll get that fixed in the next update, and thank you for the heads up!
With the hopper fix, I think it's time I revisit and do a new let's play.
Are the bionics and bad backs and scars fixed, or whatever was causing issues, something to do with the surgery?

Yes, both are working just fine. I didn't have them in the initial release because I had to rework the code, but they were added back several days ago.
Current list of changes and fixes...
Changes:
* Updated to alpha 10
* All body part recipes moved from recipemaker to actual recipes, so the ingredients can be viewed properly
* Battery efficiency now increases with power research
* Wall durability now increases with construction research
* Minor rework to crafting recipe output for powered crafting tables
* Traders reworked and new crafted goods trader added
* Industrial heater and cooler added
* Added kindling to replace wood logs as fuel for steam generator
* Bad backs and scars can now be diagnosed and fixed once again
* Recipe added to the chemlab to allow you to synthesize plasteel from steel ore and raw devilstrand
* Implemented the "Great Hopper Fix of 2015"
* Added hops to agricultural trader
Fixes:
* Corrected XML for turrets so they now function properly
* Reduced burst fire rate of gatling turret to 15 instead of 30
* Prosthetic crafting no longer uses the unfinished parts mechanic, and should work as normal
I have been playing your mod for a bit and I have a suggestion.
Steam Furnace: Switch Iron bars -> stone blocks
-since you need to craft iron bars to produce more things I found it difficult to go past the next stage and hard to get power going, I would suggest changing steam furnace to be built out of stone blocks instead of iron. This will improve the speed which power is started since stone blocks are made in larger quantity and more availability.

Awesome man! one last question, do we still have to repair all the walls once they get upgraded from researching? if so i was wondering if you would be willing to make a separate download or remove the wall upgrade process, since granite walls can be used for high health and more health might seem overpowered. And i think that this mod would be absolutely perfect without the wall heath upgrade process, and if i am correct all that stuff is simply in the .dll so you would only have to make a separate .dll optional download with it removed, it might be a pain in the ass to make it a separate download but if you do i would love you forever :D

Sorry when i am a bit upset,
BUT can't you read abit the forum/patchnotes or the game itself and notice that you can change the building material of the most buildings when you right-click on them ?
If your wish-Material don't get listed there, it isn't maybe on a stockpile yet.
You can build these furnace of any stone material, fact i can't select err what you want iron ? That don't even exist at these mod. Steam furnace hmm that don't exist either.
Furnace can build from any stone material.
and steam generator from stone, hmm no i don't think that would be a good idea.
Yes he was referring to the steam generator and that would definitely be an ok idea since literally there is no difference from having to craft steel into steel bars or chunks into blocks, and there is nothing wrong with burning fuel sources in stone to create steam heat to generate power.
If anyone wants to be able to craft the steam generator out of stone go to SCA10Core/Defs/ThingsDefs and open Buildings_Power.xml with Notepad++ and copy and paste this code directly over top of the current Steam Generator make sure to make a back up file of the original before you do this just in case there are any issues:

New update today
* Added bulk meal recipes to the cookstove
* Floor beauty values adjusted
* Various description text updated/corrected
Glad to see bulk meals. I guess I can uninstall the bulk meal mod, one of the most useful things anyone thought of in this game.
I found out that fires don't estinguish themselves while in the rain, now i have an entire map without a single tree
So ive spent the better part of 10 hours playing this mod, and for what it is its amazing, ill be trying to on Randy Random today. But so far I am loving this mod, it makes the game more realistic. It took me some time to figure out the right click interface for changing materials on some stations or beds but after that my colony took off. Great job Ab! Keep them updates coming, ill be playing this for sometime to come

solor power is affected by shade from roofs if you mined out a rock area there is usually a rock roof overhang that will cause shade otherwise the actual lighting does not effect them but rather time of day does.

And what did happen to the decorative items? Any way to re-add those? I miss the pots and we need more decorative things.
Also, can the wooden planks be altered a little? Upon first look (when I was new to this mod) they looked a lot like gold and confused the hell out of me.

How exactly they were adjusted? Cause it was a little wierd to see, that "smoothed stone" is the most beautiful floor )
UPD: Don't mind (already checked the defs). If someone else is curious - *simple* floors have 3 beauty, and *top-tier* - 6

Is there a way to make your colonists use the organ vat like the crematorium? I seem to remember in vanilla that they would automatically burn bodies but I have not seen a colonist use the organ vat to dispose of bodies without me having to give them the command. Could you flag the organ vat as a crematorium so if you dont have one they would use that to get rid of bodies or is that not possible?

All worktables have a set priority order that is predetermined in the workgivers.xml - unfortunately the game does not let you modify the priority order (yet). Make sure there are no other tables with active crafting orders that are preventing the colonists from working the organ vat, as it is low on the priority list. You can manually go in and change the priority to a higher number if you prefer.
I don't know if this is something that you changed but my combat trader is not selling or buying personal shields anymore...they are starting to pile up ;p
I don't know if it has anything to do with mod, but I can't with the crafting table convert other wood into regular wood. I think it is same with making wood planks.
I don't know if this is intended, I have a few torso scars that won't go away no matter how many operations. They seem to stays at 2

I think someone did a mod where you could summon traders or something. Maybe something like this would be a great feature to be able to summon a specific trade ship (and then have a cooldown afterwards).
Again, loving this mod. Just got your new update now.
Something I've noticed tonight. The beds seem to have a pink outline around them? I didn't even noticed this while playing it all day until a few minutes ago, its rather faint but I thought I'd report it regardless.

TBF, any mod that does that is basically using a debug mode command as is. I use it quite often since I'm always in debug mode to help diagnose bugs in mods.
So it'd be silly not to choose bulk meals, correct?

Well, the reason I added it was after playing through several times, I found that it was tempting to not even bother with the cookstove. I could live on jerky and simple salads alone! This way there is an incentive, and it does require a slightly higher skill level to make them too.

Since people seem to be active, I'll ask here. I just had an escape pod land, is there no way to get the person to join you without making them a prisoner?
I was under the impression that people would randomly join your colony, but I've never seen anyone ever just join my colony. It's always prisoners.

Once you play long enough you will get random people joining your colony out of nowhere but it will only happen during the early stages usually or at least if you have very small amount of people in the colony, you can choose to rescue people in crashed ship pods but they will not join your colony unless you make them prisoner and recruit them. you can also rescue injured visitors to keep them as friends so they wont attack and there is a small random chance they will choose to join your colony after rescuing them but usually they will just go home. :D

I know you have your hands full with your own to-do list, but could I talk you into adding some sort of item repair method to your mod? It seems like it would go along with the enhanced crafting nicely, and frankly, the only other mod I have found with repair is the "mending table" mod which is A) not up to date for A10, with no reply from the creator and B) Feels kind of cheaty since there are no resource requirements for repairing, no chance of lowering the quality of the item, no skill requirements, and happens a little too fast.
I'm thinking something as simple as using a little bit of cloth/leather for repairing cloth/leather items, a little bit of steel for repairing weapons and armor, and having a small chance, based on the initial damage of the item and the crafting skill of the colonist, to drop the quality level of the item, so you can't just repair them forever. If you're interested, I can go into a little more detail on how I see the system working.

I definitely agree, and it has been pitched to him many times since item degradation was added to the game. However, it is unlikely that Tynan will be adding it any time soon. Even if he decides to add it to the next Alpha, that will likely be 2 or 3 months away, since A10 just came out. And since it fits well with a mod that is focused on enhanced crafting, I suggested it here.
This mod is a lot of fun! I thought at first that there was maybe a little too much going on, but all the extra crafting requires a larger colony of crafters, and I like to build up big colonies anyway, so it works well with my playstyle :)
In A9 with all the xpacs, I particularly enjoyed the much more difficult and varied mechs. I also had fun with the change in gameplay when I could reprogram the mechs to do various basic tasks. I eventually had enough crawlers hauling zombie corpses that my colonists could focus on crafting and putting out fires when mechs short-circuited ;D
I patiently await these xpacs for A10. Hopefully zombie apocalypse updates to A10 soon so it can be used.

Assuming that you still have to set a priority order for the worktables you added in your mod, would it be a good idea to add Organ Vat at the top? I also have problems with bodies piling up while my colonists work endlessly on making mulch and sand :P
Also, is it possible to apply to the Organ Vat the new vanilla mechanic whereby bodies are automatically stripped when being cremated?
Is there any way to get more traders to visit? I've been playing Cassandra Rough and my current colony was stuck in limbo for awhile because I could not get a trader with Plasteel for sale to show up (and my devilstrand was taking too long to synthesize bars; thanks for that, btw!). Would I have better chances at trade and a similar overall experience if I switched to Phoebe and upped the difficulty (Phoebe was not challenging last time I tried)?
It seems the problem is exacerbated by the mod since there are more traders; it seems like there is a smaller chance to get the one you want when you get one (it seems to have a chance for trader, then a chance for each specific trader afterwards).
Do others feel there should be greater chances of traders appearing? I can see that maybe the current design is desirable, as it slows down colony transitions to higher levels of functioning and promotes diversifying industries (you could be sitting on stockpiles full of sculptures for a long time); it's just seems a bit random for my tastes. Three agricultural traders in a row can stunt growth for a long time!

Miscellaneous V1.10.2b (http://www.mediafire.com/download/rcre07w3815iqu8/Miscellaneous_1102_VanillaEnhanced.zip) - Vanilla Enhanced is an excellent addition that works perfect with SC! I use it myself, and adds the traders. I may include the link on the front page if Haplo permits.

I don't know if this is intended, I have a few torso scars that won't go away no matter how many operations. They seem to stays at 2
I'll test this out....I have healed a number of scars just fine, but I can't say if they were torso scars or not.
I have a colonists with an old gunshot wound to the neck. The mod gives me the operation option to "Heal Scar (Neck)". However, doing so has no effect on the injury.
Taking into account whether or not you would get permission from lending existing work, would it be possible to add;
- Turret bases where you have to jerry rig weapons onto it, instead of having prebuilt turrets;
- Advanced sunlamps and outdoor lamps (TL ones with square/rectangle 'sphere' of light, anyone?);
- Hidden circuits (why circuits would be above ground and susceptible to rain, I don't know...);
- Fuse boxes;
- Extended powerswitches;
- Improved prison stuff;
- Conveyor belts;
- Extended mining (y'know, mining iron/plasteel ore and having to process it first? Much like wood logs vs planks!).
[EDIT:]
- Repairing/mending of items/apparel/weapons (think someone already suggested this in this thread, but I'm not sure anymore.)
In fact, it would also be cool if we could upgrade work items to better qualities, but that might be a lot of coding work.
[/EDIT]
Most, if not all of these come from other mods, of which the names are not placed in my memory. :P
If you are interested in these ideas, I could go fetch links for you.
Feedback? :)

Powered Arm, and when you try to install it, it show as Power claw at the operation menu.
After you installed it, the pawn isn't able to mellee attack anymore, and can't do range attack without weapon.
Does the damage from the arm add to the weapon ?
Working on a fix for this....thanks for the report!

It appears this only affects old gunshot wounds....I am able to heal other wounds just fine. I've got my thinking cap on and am working on a fix!
*edit* I think I got it fixed....testing it on a few victims...I mean volunteers ::)

About pratice dummy's,
shouldn't you draft your pawn and then send them to practice at the dummy ?
Currently a pawn on combat mode they just use the dummy for 1 xp and leave it.
But on regular mode the pawn use the dummy forever and even get exhaust or starve to dead.
I've noticed they seem to do this now ever since Alpha 10. I've also had it happen when mining plasteel...they don't stop to go eat/sleep/etc...
The problem is when pawn starts a task they must finish it, unless the task can be interrupted. For example, if pawn chooses to haul a stone from other side of the map, he will walk there and back with the stone, even if he would start starving. The hauling task doesnt allow interruption. Same for minning, where its most noticeable with bad miner as the rock has 10K health. Pawn must finish the square and then he can decide what to do next.
Some tasks that are interruptable from top of my head: Crafting weapons and armour, Hunting.
So...is it just me or did everyone else end up getting a bunch of crap installed on their puter while downloading this mod? So far, I haven't even been able to FIND the mod. Just some EZ Donload crap and bunch of unwanted toolbar changes. Not happy about it.

Just you apparently, maybe some kind of malware on your computer. I've downloaded the mod numerous times and never gotten anything other than the file specified.

Not sure what you did to get all that, been downloading the mod multiple times and I've never had that issue whatsoever. Maybe you downloaded it from a different site or maybe clicked a button you shouldn't have?
Daily update complete! Thanks to everyone for pointing out the bugs. The changes are as follows:
Changes:
* Added eyes, ears, and noses to the organ vat
Fixes:
* Renamed scar patching to injury, and fixed issue with healing certain types of wounds
* Fixed issue with colonists never stopping to eat or sleep while training

Just got a few recipes that would be awesome if you could add...
Ability craft:
Nose - Added 2 seconds before I posted, great!
Foot - Craftable?
Hand - Craftable?
Ear - Added 2 seconds before I posted, great! lol
I like my colonists in tip top condition, especially my soldiers. Thanks!
I know you have cybernetic brain but the use of an AI core is pretty high since the traders seem not to sell it anymore. I would love to be able to heal a brain injury...I had a guy who couldn't do anything and I had to eventually put him in cryo.

I agree, the need for an extremely rare AI Core is a real pain.

I'm going to redo the traders a bit tomorrow and will have a patch out then. I'll add the AI Core to the Exotic trader and I am going to combine the Agriculture and Bulk Goods traders.

Was just coming here to request that, hah. Thanks.
When you adjust the traders tomorrow, can you make them more willing to buy player items? I have a stockpile of a bunch of random, crafted stuff I want to offload, but all the traders seem to want are my resources. It can feel a little restricting. If it's for difficulty, maybe traders can just offer a bad price instead?
Oh, and a quick question. With your last version (alpha six, maybe?), training was a selectable, unique task. Any reason you abandoned this approach? Also, I noticed the Joy mechanics can give exp for specific skills. Have you considered hijacking this? For instance, colonists get bored and go to the rifle range to get some practice?
Since I haven't actually posted here yet, welcome back. Good to be playing Superior Crafting again.
I know this has been asked to death, and is even in the faq, but I am having a problem with changing the building type of the smelter furnace to something different. I left and right click on the icon in the architecture menu but it simply says "You have no usable materials from which to build this." I am unable to place a template of the furnace for pawns to start working on on the map. To make sure everything wasn't broken, when I click on wall or door I get the dialogue for what material I want (even at start and I can only select wood).
Doing a bit more poking around, I also can not change the material for beds, it simply sticks at one material and gives the same error message. If I try to place the Research Bench which has materials I do not have, I can place the template with no issue.
I'm using Alpha 10f. Mods I'm using are Core (obviously) EdB Mod Order, EdB Interface, EdB Prepare Carefully, Misc. Vanilla Enhanced (by Haplo), and SCA10Core. These are all mentioned as being compatible (other than mod order but I can't see how it wouldn't be). They are loaded in that order. I have tried switching the order of Misc Vanilla Enhanced and SCA10Core to see if it made a difference, it did not. I did try the one just updated a short while ago to see if that fixed the issue, it did not.
Since this isn't a common issue I have probably done something wrong. Can someone tell me what it is I've done?
Another suggestion for later.
I have been using "Refrigerated Food Storage" mod and it would be nice to have something like this integrated.
It seems that it doesn't actually freeze the food but sets the status to max expire date. Also the mod only does food and I would like to see this expanded to other things like medical herbs so I can put one in my medbay. Also

You need a portion of the material you're building in a stockpile (for selections to unlock, they
need to be there)
You need enough resources in the stockpiles for any stage, ie Sandstone lighted walls need 6 sandstone, 1 metal bar, and 1 glass; if you got one sandstone and one metal, the template will be available, but subsequents have no requirements to place
as long as the stockpile reads the material as available when placed.
Vanilla bug as of Alpha 6 I believe, run into it ALL the time. (Even though its actually a feature so you don't build objects you can't build at all, I find it as a bug since it denies you access to templates you can process the mats for but it has no scanning potential beyond 'Do you have this in stockpile? Yes or no' )

SCA10Core needs to be loaded before ANY OTHER MODS. Abrexus really needs to stress this in the main post as I have been getting crashes myself is SC isn't loaded first
I just did a quick test where I started a new game and dragged a stockpile over the logs you start with. Set them to Not Forbidden. I now have logs in my stockpile. I am still unable to change the bed from Cobraskin to any other material, and get the same error message and am unable to place a bed template. This is with only Superior Crafting loaded.
I also tried this with wooden planks and trying to make the smelter furnace.
I am unaware of this issue you are mentioning, and I can place templates for every vanilla item even if the required materials are not in any stockpile. I can also place the template for the Research Bench (needing steel bars) which I can not even make without the smelter.

Certain things can only be built with certain resources for eg, the hide bed is only able to be crafted using 30 wood logs and you also need 10 of any animal leather, cloth bed specifically needs wood planks and cloth, the comfy bed, and pod bed needs steel bars, and cloth, the hospital bed needs steel bars cloth and medicine. regular doors and walls can only be made of wood or planks and i think metal once researched so no more stone walls until you get conduit walls and no more stone beds or doors.
However i am making a ultimate overhaul modpack for alpha 10 soon as a couple mods get another update and my modpack removes the upgrade process of walls health and allows you to craft stone walls and doors again. among tons of other things ive changed balanced added and such. however the beds i leave the way they are.
Alright, think I figured out the problem then. You have to have something of the material that is variable before you can change it to a different material. I spawned a bunch of a hide and a bunch of blocks in a stockpile and was able to then change the material and place the template.
Yup, I figured I was just doing something wrong. Thank you both for clarifying and dealing with my blonde moment.
Yea, like i said. I find that 'Material in stockpile' requirement to be an annoying bug that I wish was fixed but it seems its a feature to stay.

That isn't true.
Some mod's should load after SCCore to avoid conflicts, but at the other side SCCore can be load at the last to avoid other conflicts too.
Well that's because of how the order works. One or the other overwrites any changes made to a shared vanilla file, with the latest to load making the latest changes, I think.
So technically, there never are conflicts in files, it's just the result of some mods suddenly missing some data in-game that creates issues.
That's how it works for most games with mod orders. It would be genius if a framework could be created where mods are evaluated and all of their changes take place, unless they are changing the exact same thing. (Think resources, for instance.)
Heya, I have issue with sabre shield. The shield has 500 HP, but recieves 5* standart damage from all atacks. That is intended? I tested it on purpose and single shot from sniper rifle brought it from 500 to 301 (40 base damage, I assume shield regen was faster than me), and great bow got it to 412 (18 base damage).
Thanks!

Taking into account whether or not you would get permission from lending existing work, would it be possible to add
- Turret bases where you have to jerry rig weapons onto it, instead of having prebuilt turrets;
No plans to do this at this time. I'm weighing options for how/if I want to re-balance combat- Advanced sunlamps and outdoor lamps (TL ones with square/rectangle 'sphere' of light, anyone?);
No plans to do this at this time.- Hidden circuits (why circuits would be above ground and susceptible to rain, I don't know...);
I'm not sure how to do this effectively without having a second layer similar to the way prison architect is designed.- Fuse boxes;
This will be coming in the first Xpac I hope to have out this weekend, along with the solar flare shield and quantum storage.- Extended powerswitches;
I like these, but have to get permission from the mod developer first.- Improved prison stuff;
This will be added as soon as the developer updates his mod to alpha 10.- Conveyor belts;

I'm not sure what you're asking for here. The mod already has you mine steel/plasteel and convert them from ore to bars.- Repairing/mending of items/apparel/weapons (think someone already suggested this in this thread, but I'm not sure anymore.)
I want to add this as an Xpac, so it's on my list of things to do.In fact, it would also be cool if we could upgrade

If I understand your request we have this in a sense by upgrading to the powered crafting tables which give greater output at a reduced crafting time.

Hm, since we're talking building shields, stupid question.... Do they allow for people / turrets to shoot out from under them?
I've only built a couple and they seemed to go down real quick as my guys were shooting out (no damage taken from outside, melee pirate raid). Is there a trick? :)

Lol, OK I get it now! The shields look really nice and use up your power, just don't build them where there is.... you know.... shooting! :)
Ah man, I love this mod. Spent a lot of hours playing the A9 version and tried to think up all the bugs I've seen / wishlist to give you something back. Unfinished bionics, gunshot wounds not biomatter-able, organ vat ear / nose - then I read back the thread, and it's all fixed and done. Time for a new colony! :)
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Ohm, ps, don't change the AI core req for the brain implant please - that's why you treasure them early and hoard them late game. (You were a good little colonist, you can have this AI core in your head! ... but but there's nothing wrong with my brain.... Of course not, you go to sleep now....)

Other all the other tables seem to work fine for resuming work.
This is one of my favorite MODS so thank you for all the work you have done on this!

Currently when you melt a dead body at the Organ Vat, you only get clothes back.....
What if you can recover any Bionics as well (possibly even damaged ones to be repaired)?

i just ran a test with the bionics tabel crafting a bionic arm, half way through the crafting process i drafted my colonist and sent him away then undrafted him and he resumed crafting the bionic arm just fine...

there should be no problem with the download link and it should not be sending you anywhere that is incredibly strange, try this direct link: https://fs08n5.sendspace.com/dl/679cd124547bd55abfac687cefc88ada/553c63c4278a8d7a/xvdwb4/SCA10Core0424.zip
Could you make it so we can place Smooth Stone floors over concrete? I have this small bit where I had a wood floor for my bedroom, but I turned that bedroom into hallway (for more bedrooms), now it looks odd.

smooth stone is technically not a floor type its just smoothing the floor if its already bare stone, and since the floors aren't "Stuff" you cant deconstruct them, the best you can do is to make the hallway some sort of stone tile. eg, granite tile.

My bad, I think the Smooth Stone floor I'm talking about comes from Fast Floors mod, which your mod is over-writing.. I think I'll have to make Fast Floors load after Superior Crafting.

lol not my mod its Abrexus's mod! :D however if you use the floors get "stuffed " mod download here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9334.0;attach=6000 you could maybe deconstruct the wood floor and bring back the natural stone floor then smooth it if it isnt already. this mod is for alpha 9 but should also still work with alpha 10 without any issue. only thing is i don't know for sure if it will work on an already existing save game but should work with a new one.

Abrexus,
since you update the mod very often it is hard to track if i got the right/latest version.
Can you add some version number to it ?
The best it would be when you rename the mod folder.
He could just change the About.xml to have the version # on it.

There is a version number. If you look at the file name it's always the date at the end of the name. 0424 was the latest release. As for the frequent updates, you're probably right. I think maybe I should take a step back and start updating weekly or monthly instead.
More like stick to an update a day AT MOST. You do tend to release quite often.

- Hidden circuits (why circuits would be above ground and susceptible to rain, I don't know...);
I'm not sure how to do this effectively without having a second layer similar to the way prison architect is designed.
Pretty sure the dude that made a mod with this purpose just changed conduits to not have a beauty debuff and not cause electrical shocks when it rains or something to that effect.

- Extended mining (y'know, mining iron/plasteel ore and having to process it first? Much like wood logs vs planks!).
I'm not sure what you're asking for here. The mod already has you mine steel/plasteel and convert them from ore to bars.
Yeah, my bad. It functions in a similar way in tha you don't instantly have the resources, so it's good. :)
Is that a "I'll ask him and see what I can make of it" or a "I'm not going to do it because I need to refer my energy elsewhere"?In fact, it would also be cool if we could upgrade
work items to better qualities, but that might be a lot of coding work.
If I understand your request we have this in a sense by upgrading to the powered crafting tables which give greater output at a reduced crafting time.[/quote]
No, I meant items. Like the mending mod. I'd love to have a balanced solution, being able to repair anything you have crafted or looted from a raid, but it would cost some resources that you could have spend on something else.
Thanks for the other answers, I didn't really have any replies to those so I didn't bother. :)

Your post made me realize that pulling back to weekly/monthly updates is exactly the right decision. I plan to put one out today that addresses a few minor bugs, then after that expect them MUCH less frequent, or someone can take over development if they prefer.

Personally I see nothing wrong with it as long as changelog is present and you are not burning yourself out. People always have the option not to update and I rather get the last version right away then wait for a long time for no reason.
As long as you're not feeling rushed or burnt out you can update as often as you want. It's your mod, not our mod, and it's your decision on what you think is best for it.
All we can do is offer feedback.
Personally I don't mind frequent updates because I know that means things are being fixed.

I appreciate this kind reply. I actually like to think of it as our mod, mainly because without everyone's moral support, I wouldn't have the tenacity to keep up. I enjoy making mods, and while I would love to be able to do everything that is asked, it isn't always possible. I will say though that I understand the complaint about the frequent updates, and part of that is due to my releasing the update without having time to fully playtest it myself. This results in frequent updates as people point out bugs, and I release updates to address them.
That said, in the future I plan to hold back a week or two before releasing new updates so that I do have time to test everything first. I am one person and sadly don't have a dedicated team working on this. Hopefully this plan of action will be more to everyones liking.
Hmm, I think that's exactly the thing about the community you've built up here. We love this mod, and you're not alone.
I'm sure there are people here who like the hot and new features, even if there are a few bugs crawl around in there. While others would prefer it stable so they don't mind to wait a little. So how about marking a certain version stable - after it's been out for a while and people had time to play around with it, give you feedback; but at the same time, have a WIP version for the inpatient daredevils who can help you with the testing? I know when you have a good idea you want to implement it right away, see how it works in action - this would allow for that.

This *may* be a save breaking update if you are using version 0424 or earlier AND have built the "Sabre Force Shield" - before updating, load your colony and deconstruct this and you can then load the update safely without breaking the save.
Quote from: Valor on April 26, 2015, 05:49:28 PM

Yes, the def name is the same, so it shouldn't be affected. If you are using the ED mod and it loads after SC, then it will overwrite the shields in SC.
Good day fellow crafters! I would like to get some feedback from you all as to what mods you would enjoy seeing added as an expansion. It appears More Mechanoids may be a while till it gets an update.
I got the go-ahead from Ratsys to integrate his RT mods pack, and I could integrate additional features from the Enhanced Defense pack aside from the shields. Any suggestions you have would be welcome.
I would love expanded research trees. Rank V for each, could unlock better bionics, bionic organs, high tech weapons, Shielded walls (wall that has a shield in it, just for the square), temperature barrier (Ie barierer that holds only temperature), improved hydroponics, solar flare protection, Combat drones (Ie Mobile turets with patrol path, that cannot be drafted) and possibly some sort of hauling improvement.
Are we expecting to see redistheat ducting reintroduced? Currently I am doing edits to that mod to change the crafting materials from steel to steel bars. I understand that until a few days ago, it wasn't a stable release, so I haven't expected to see it -quickly-. The same for more mechanoids - I loooooved having a crawler cleaner named 'Roomba'...
I'll second including RT mods! Quantum stockpiles are really nice once you've progressed to the point you can afford them, but the fuseboxes and solar flare shielding are KING. Being able to build something to cope with those irritating events... yissssss.

RT mods is released today as the first Xpac! If you were previously using the RT Mods pack, you should be able to replace it with this integrated pack and not break your save.
I do plan on adding in Mechanoids when it is updated. I really miss that so much!
Sweetness, integrateds are the best for SC
Abrexus, thanks in advance for your great mod, its very impressive the changes on the game.
I'm new to RW, and i really want to try your mod, i just have one question...
Do I need to load the mods in this order:
Core v0427 (latest)
Xpac1 v0427
EdB Interface UI Mod
EdB Prepare Carefully
Pawn State Icons (v03d)
Miscellaneous V1.10.2b - Vanilla Enhanced
... or the order doesn't matter? (except for core + xpac obvious)
Sorry if my quest was to 'newbie', and my bad english xD

With that selection of mods it shouldn't matter. You are correct however that the Core has to load before the Xpac.
I already mentioned Zombies and More Mechanoids (neither have been updated to A10 yet), and I will add that the traders from Misc Vanilla Enhanced are great (thanks for the tip and dl link!).
Using the Xpac and just Core I get this after loading:
(http://puu.sh/hsWp3/684d8656e0.png)
And so on...
Also I know this is the wrong section to ask but I do it anyways, since I 'usually' heavily mod my Rimworld and get a few yellow errors, are those ignorable or does it mean something could not work?
List of my suggestions
-Refrigerated storage
-Cybernetic Torsos (to fix frail torso)
-Rain proof electronics research
-Powered Sand making
-Moneysink for silver
~I suggest expensive joy/beauty items that have a very high rating that can only be purchased by merchants
I suggest reducing the amount of mulch it takes to make rich soil, it is quite a lot...
Playing your mod I felt the most connected to Rimworld because I felt more connected to my pawns that I went from having nothing to building up multiple resources to cybernetic gods. This mod is should be how Rimworld develop.
On a longer timeline I would love to see...
-Research being tiered where there is one research that acts as a gateway so you need all level 1 + level 1 gateway before level 2 is available. This could force a better linear progression and feel like similar to something like eon mod ( https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9540.0 ).
-Removing plasteel from the world map and making it so you can only craft it/buy it.
-More endgame content.

Question.
Will this mod allow me to craft firearms as well?
Suggestion.
In case the answer for the above question is "no", then make it happen!
In case the answer for the above question is "Yes", then...
...answer me with a witty comment instead! ^^
Yeah! The smithing bench, crafting III I think, can let you do firearms. Preeeeetty sure it said that in an older tech tree image. You can make just about everything, provided raw materials, research, and colonists to do the work.
One thing you could add for end-game processing would be automatic processing equipment. Basically you have a 2x2 smelter or other machine with a hopper. You feed raw materials into the hopper, and the output goods automatically pile up in front of the machine. Could have one for smelting, one for rock crushing (sand), stone cutting, wood shredding (mulch), and an automated lumber mill (wood planks).

I see, I have not seen said older image, still, it's good to know! Thank you.
Also, an actual suggestion: Wood. It's necessary to build a lot of things, no way around, however there are maps lacking trees real bad, which means little to no progress (going through it right now, not nice, I must say).
Allowing us to plant them, for example, would be great indeed!

Vanilla can already plant trees with growing spots, if you can't then you have an old version of a10 and just need to go back to your sendowl's email and redownload a10. The windows version in version.txt in the rimworld folder should say "0.10.785 rev1116".

Yeeeeah... Thanks, I've missed it.
Now...let us pretend we never had this little conversation.
If anyone is interested (I still need some finishing touches) I have made all of the (currently downloadable) Enhanced defence mods (apart from vents) compatible with Superior Crafting, and tried to balance them in the tech tree based on how hard/easy each tech would make the game. For example, the stargates, I have made it so that with every new colony 1 stargate will spawn somewhere on the map and it is your duty to protect it, until you can power it up, and use it. IF it gets destroyed (I am considering lowering its hitpoints by a lot) then you will have to research Crafting, power and constructing IV THEN research the stargate tech in order to build subsequent stargates. I think I'm going to try and go more balancing with the other sections but for the most part, tech tree is out of the way (I added TemperatureI and II but for some reason temperature I is spamming errors at the moment so ill figure it out tomorrow night :) )

I'd be interested in collaborating with you on that and we can get it posted as an Xpac
Eons mod isnt going to be out until Beta or Release do to the core files changings so much so fast that we cant even get started. we are only collecting art and ideas atm.
however our mod is more on REALISM
if you crashed on a planet with say... a tailor and enginer you know not a hightech lifestyle you would have to start from scratch. we plan on making it last 8 + ingame years till you cap your tech and can leave the planet.
1 thing tho is i think the torches in game should self damage themselves instead of have a day timer till deletion because if maintained a torch can last for a long time. i would love to see Repairing at mainting that torch.

I can do minor fix's and minor compatability setups if you would like it sounds easy.
1 question when powered does the stargate sometimes spew out enemies?
Nice. Time to try out the Xpac. (Not to be confused with X-Pac from D-X.)
Ok, first let me say there's a lot to like about this mod - I really dig the tech tree, I like the fences, I even like the harder crafting of basic stuff (the first bed available requires a random hide - mine was rhino hide, and I've never once seen a rhino in all my time playing the game. :P ) and adding glass was a good idea. Requiring plasteel, which is hard or impossible to get without end-game trading, for geothermal is not my idea of a good time. If you want to add your own power source (fusion or whatever) that requires plasteel, great, but geo is available inside of 30 minutes with a good scientist, plasteel is not.
I still have no clue of why I got those error messages.

They need more comfort, even a simple hide bed got more comfort then a hospital bed.

The vanilla hospital beds also give no comfort. I may add a small amount of comfort to the ones in the mod, but it is changing from the default values in the game.

- FAQ -
Question: I want to build a furnace, but it wants to make it out of slate blocks and I don't have any and can't make any.
Answer: If you click on the icon in the build menu, you can select what types of blocks you can build it from. Sometimes the default selection isn't a type of block you may already have.
The same goes for beds, or anything made out of stuff. You can make the hide beds out of any hide, but you must have at least 1 in a stockpile before you can make the selection. This is a vanilla game mechanic.

Not able to replicate that directly, however I do know that if you play a game that unlocks certain agricultural options, then quit that colony and start a new one without quitting the whole game, it will leave whatever was unlocked for the new colony. Perhaps something like that happened to you?
is this compatibe with crash landing, if not is there a way to make it so, it would make for a perfect match with this mod.

If you want to add your own power source (fusion or whatever) that requires plasteel, great, but geo is available inside of 30 minutes with a good scientist, plasteel is not.
You can make Plasteel with Devilstrand and Steel, so that's also not as much of an issue.
Just getting back into Rimworld after a long time away. Posting here so I don't forget about this mod at a later date, when I'm familiarized with the game once more.
Really interested.

is this compatibe with crash landing, if not is there a way to make it so, it would make for a perfect match with this mod.
PLZ
I reached out to the mod developer about making this available as an Xpac. I think this would make a great addition to SC!

I personally like "Prepare Carefully" better but I think some elements could be integrated such as wreckage.
Nuclear generators: I definitely like the concept, but think the idea of free indefinite energy is a balance issue. I propose changing nuclear generators as follows:
1) Remove the need for uranium ore during construction.
2) The reactor is fueled with uranium ore after construction (or alternately, uranium fuel if you want to add a production change to actually produce the enriched fuel necessary for a fission reactor, which I think would be a fantastic idea).
3) Once per year, the reactor is shut down, and new fuel must be added. This should be more like a construction project than a hopper feed type thing, just to make it reflect how this actually works. During the refueling, the reactor is shut down, so player would need to plan their battery backup strategy accordingly.
Some additional things that could be added:
1) Refuelling produces spent uranium fuel - Excessive handling or prolonged close proximity to this could cause radiation sickness. It could start out as simply "Radiation Exposure" on the health tab, and then progress up to "Radiation Sickness" if the colonists stay in close proximity to the spent fuel for too long.
2) Production chain for producing uranium fuel:
Uranium Ore processed at centrifuge produces Enriched Uranium
Enriched Uranium and Sand are combined at one of the existing crafting tables to produce uranium fuel

Disagree, up to that point you are fuddling around with solar panels and steam and when you finally get a Nuclear generator you finally can stop messing with power and focus on other tasks. It takes a lot of plasteel /steel so it isn't super easy to build, though I think Uranium needs a huge boost in price.
Also it isn't indefinite energy, my one colony needed three geo + 2 nuclear + a bunch of solar to run it, at least with nuclear you don't need to worry about where to put it.
Absolutely love this pack, but I can't create plasteel bars at the smelting furnace, which is a bit of a deal breaker. Any thoughts on how to fix? The only mods I have installed are the SC-core and SC-xpac1. It's a new world, and a new colony. The only option I have at the furnace is steel bars from steel ore... Stuck at home recovering from an operation and bored stupid, so if anyone could help me out I'd REALLY appreciate it!!!! :D **EDIT** - should've said, I'm running Alpha10f(285?)

I actually like this idea as is makes Battery Backups a necessity rather then a throwaway building once you pass Solar Tech.
For now though, stick with #2 until we find a way to get pawns to replace entire wardrobes before entering a room (think Aluminium Hazmat).

You need to unlock the electric smelter it can only be done there, hope your recovery goes well! cheers! :D
A few problems i've seen so far that may need fixing/tweaking.
- If a project doesnt have the TOTAL amount of resources required to build it available, colonists wont even attempt to build it. So for example I had a turret blueprint down and a few ceiling lamps down. Colonists KEPT building the lamps first, and I couldnt prioritise them to take the bars to the turret, because I didnt have the 250 available.
- Colonists wont haul blocks out of the way to build the new stuff. They happily moved things to make wooden walls and beds etc, but the new wooden doors, ceiling lamps, hideskin beds etc - had to manually order them to move the chunks out of the way.
- Power III? I checked the tech tree, it simply IS NOT showing up.
Otherwise LOVE the mod, so much more depth!

I experience this as well all the time, quite annoying. Don't know if it is SC actually doing it since I see this happening on vanilla fairly frequently, VERY hit-n-miss.

This isnt a SC issue as I have no problems at all with them building ANYTHING with chunks in the way, they may not actually haul them to a dumping pile but they still move them out of the way for me.

No for Power III you don't need anything other then Power II.
I only can think that you got other Mod which block it, maybe change the mod order.
When SC is the first mod, maybe move it to the last and look if you can research it then.
But i never got any problems with the SC and i use many other mods together with SC.
The tech tree is incorrect when it comes to Power III. I had the same issue as the poster and finally I realized I'd better take a peek into the files to see if I could discern a prereq;
Crafting II is a prereq for Power III. It kinda makes sense anyway because Crafting II gives you the electric furnace which lets you smelt the Plasteel you'll need (though you could otherwise spend a small fortune buying bars).

That is correct....you need both Power II and Crafting II in order to unlock Power III. I will update the chart in the original post to reflect this.

One thing i STILL don't understand is that ever since glass was swapped from needing sand to merely needing chunks, you're no longer able to use "Do until you have X" anymore giving the "multiple or unpredictable products" line even though its ONLY making glass.

I figured i could repair them, but this doesn't work. Is that a bug? or do i need to reconstruct them?

You can repair, its that sometimes the rick-click context menu....doesn't exactly see it as a job yet. Just give it time and your pawns will repair everything eventually.

Happened to me as well, seemingly random occurrence. Sometimes they repair it, sometimes they don't. For me, a save-load always fixed it.
It'd be very nice to see glassmaking added to the electric furnace or something, since it doesn't have any end game manufacturing method.

The electric smelter actually has four recipes, three of which you don't get with the regular furnace (Make Plasteel Bars, Extract Metal From Slag, and Smelt Weapon). Also, the electric furnace is the only one where you can make the plasteel bars, so I would consider that end game. If you are not seeing these recipes, then you may have a mod conflict.
First off, I'd like you to know that you've ruined the vanilla game for me, This mod is just that awesome! :P
A couple minor things I've noticed. When I had one of my people using the medical dummy for practice the caption at the bottom for that character said "using turret."
Another thing is producing ethanol at the brewery. It seems like only my artists will work there instead of my craftsmen. (I didn't double check to see if that held true for alcohol as well).
Really man, thanks a ton for all the work you've put into this one!

That's funny, because for me, only cooks brew beer or produce ethanol. The rest refuse to work there. o_o
Anyway, question! I have not played with vanilla Rimworld since...long.
Does making a sculpture, a grand sculpture for example, take weeks of constant work?
Does any other stat (crafting, constructing) influence the speed artist make sculptures?
It seems awfully slow for me, and though I could live with it easily, thought I'd ask, just in case.
Thank you!

Yes I am. I was using one complex made out of wood, inside a home-zone. As I was getting research(es) done, I've had my pawns repair the same walls 4 times. Sometimes they started repairing it automatically, sometimes they simply didn't give a flying... ^^ I'm sure "Repair" skill was prioritized the whole time, and even if not all my walls were in my home-zone, at least parts of it should've been repaired, but again, when they didn't repair, they did not repair.
A minor annoyance only, having to save-load sometimes, only takes a few seconds anyway.
What are the chances of adding in bionic hands / feet? I have yet to try the bionic leg but assume that it replaces everything including the foot? I have a couple colonists that have lost either a foot or hand from battle so wanted to see if there were more options coming in the future updates?

My ultimate overhaul modpack uses superior crafting as its core mod that every other mod revolves around, but i have overhauled it to be completely compatible with Expanded prosthetics and organ engineering which uses the superior crafting textures for the body parts, and it allows for crafting bionic feet and hands etc. so yes it is possible.

I had to make a decision when making SC as to how deep I would go with adding in extra resources, parts, furniture, everything. I wanted to make sure I added enough to expand the game, but not so much as to make it unwieldy. I decided to do arms and legs, but not hands and feet because arms and legs covers that....but if I did toes, fingers, hands....it would just be too much (in my opinion).

Good questions....I don't have an answer for. I will say that I reduced the craft times of some clothing and increased it for my weapons to take an average of 1 day to make a decent item....I did not in any way change or impact the quality of the items created and I didn't touch craft times of sculptures. The "weekly" patch is scheduled to come out Sunday, and in addition to the "Pink Bed Fix" crafting times of powered armor and helmets is also adjusted to be in line with the rest of the craftable stuff....along with a few other surprises.
Abrexus, do you have plans to implement something like Stonecutting Tweak v1.01 https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7887 (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7887) to your mod? Yeap, It can make bill-list of crafting table a little bigger, but as for me, it is a cheap cost for such a needed thing?
Quote from: Canute on May 02, 2015, 01:54:35 AM
Yes, special Grand scupltures are a mega project, look at work number.
1667 for a grand sculpture, even a longsword just need 200(or 67).
Bionic can enhance the manipulation ability, that increase the craft speed. Brain,Arms and spine can increase manipulation.
If you use other armor/appearal mods, there should be some pieces they increase the global work, counterpart are the armor vest or Power armor they lower it.
Yes I thought it wouldn't take but a moment, still, it was a surprise, seeing 1500+ "work" ticking so slowly even though I was playing on 3 times the regular speed. Oh well...
Thanks for telling!

Is the "powered claw" not supposed to be a melee weapon? I gave my hunter two of them, and he wouldn't hunt.
I had to recruit him and then send him after animals.
Is there any way to make him use them to hunt with?
I gave him a shiv, hoping he might use the shiv and one claw, but he just used the shiv, and got killed, lol.

Good question....it's really the same way with Vanilla Rimworld. I am guessing Tynan didn't add something to recognize body parts with "verb" properties as equipped weapons. Check the bug forums and see if it's mentioned there. I really hadn't changed the values of those two items other than try and make one a ranged weapon which did not work at all.

Power claw increase the mellee damage, but a hunter still require a weapon.
He refuse to fight bare power claw (yes it is stupid but it is hard coded i think).
And you should switch to Scyther blade once you can made them.
I prefer claws myself, scyther blades reduce the effectiveness of the handz by a lot (40 I think?), while claws only by 5 percent or so.
But why would anyone hunt with melee weapons anyway?!
Well, i prefer to hunt with melee because when an animal closes range (ie cobra), a hunter with a gun is going to get beat to a pulp.
I prefer to give my hunters a really good melee weapon, they get a bit injured, but not much.

Special since animal can go berserk now when they got damaged.
A slow hunter can be on trouble when a mad Muffalo or bettle come to close.
And i got 2 pawn anyway who didn't like to craft, they got blade's and goon hunting.
Yes, I can see your point.
But don't pawns "equipped" with such body part(s) (claw
, scythe, bionic arm)
get the benefit of said body part(s) if they engage an enemy in melee combat? Even if they have a ranged weapon? They do switch to melee attacks automatically, once enemies are on top of them, but I have never actually tested it.
It'd be great to know.

Both the claw and the blade reduce manipulation by only 10%, instead of the 80% it is in Vanilla.

Both the claw and the blade reduce manipulation by only 10%, instead of the 80% it is in Vanilla.
That's...good?
Are you sure it is a good idea? Having claws is one thing, but having a blade instead of a hand...well, that should reduce it slightly more in my opinion. o_o
Still, it's good to know, thanks!
Your modification, it is impossible to translate completely. As the translation of a kernel game, kills the modification translation. Can in English, everything is normal, but in other languages, everything prevarashchatsya in intolerable tortures. For example you replaced a armchair, a torch, and the translation, all the same, convinces players that it armchair, though burns. If you wish to achieve from fashion, full-fledged quality, it isn't necessary to substitute subjects, it is better to create the new.
Ok, before I post the links I'd like to make one more suggestion for a mod to use; EdB Mod Order (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7454.0). This mod allows full control of your mod load order and is invaluable when using compatibility patches. Here are the compatibility patches:
Hospitality Compatibility Patch (http://www.mediafire.com/download/a03nldm1rwaz3cm/SC_Compatibility_(Hospitality).zip) - This is for v1.0.4 of the Hospitality mod. No mod deviations, just a straight compatibility patch.
OmniWeapons Compatibility Patch (http://www.mediafire.com/download/3rvm7wkhiuh666w/SC_Compatibility_(OmniWeapons).zip) - This is for v1.3 of the OmniWeapons mod. No mod deviations, just a straight compatibility patch.
RedistHeat Compatibility Patch (http://www.mediafire.com/download/7uhjxj4vuxxvfaz/SC_Compatibility_(RedistHeat).zip) - This is for v31 of the RedistHeat mod. Changes: Ducts and vents available after researching Power I. Air Conditioners/Heaters available after researching RedistHeat_AirCirculation and Power II.
Load order is very important for these compatibility patches. They should be the last mods to load. This is very easy to accomplish if you use EdB Mod Order. Have fun...
There is a mending...process...in the works. At least he said so last time I was live streaming.

Hi, found something. Sniper turrets doesn't seem to select a new target when the current one goes down (not sure if other types do). It's only a little aiming time lost when the target is dead, however when it's only incapped.... they go and promptly execute them :)

All turrets actually do this. If you have two regular turrets next to each other and they are firing at different times...if the first one downs a pawn but doesn't kill them, the other will still finish it's cycle and fire at the downed pawn. It's just way more noticeable on the sniper turrets as their aim time is a lot longer.

Yes, I agree, such problem too was observed.
I seems that the Quantum Relays included in XPac1 do not work with items added by the SC mod, only with items present in vanilla.

I retested and you are correct, it does push them to the warehouse, it just does not pull them.
It is impossible to translate the descriptions specified on a screenshot, perhaps there are no necessary lines, in the "Keyed" folder.

The problem isn't that easy, that you can say the Relay don't get SC items only.
I got similar expierence that Relay's don't recieve any item they are definitiv on the stockpile/warehouse/pad's.
But i got these errors with many different item types, one relay don't want get any Steel Ore, the other pad don't want get any Sand.
But this thread is the wrong spot to report this, since Abrexus didn't change anything at the basic code, just adjust the build material and research cost.

The funny thing is, I reported this issue to Ratys and he debunked the issue on his end (he got the mats immediately w/o loading SC), which means its purely a SC and RT Storage interaction issue (merely having SC loaded makes it happen for some reason)
To fix this....well its anyone's guess but I do hope Ratys helps out with this integration (something tells me there's a method or two that both mods are trying to use and inject, just a theory...I don't code for a reason)
I notice the embrasures I craft are about half the size of the normal wall.

Thats actually just a texture thing - change the graphic path in the xml to something of your liking (or make your own)
look for this: <graphicPath>
If you mean that the emprasures are only "waist high" thats also changeable in the xml - just look for <altitudeLayer>
place <altitudeLayer>BuildingTall</altitudeLayer>

Hey.
Nice mod, THX :)
really? sendspace.com this is a spam and addware problem for everyone who is not pushing the actual source-download button, but an add thingy :(
dropbox, amazon, microsoft, google will not generate add revenue (is it actually worth it?) but would be more "customer friendly" ;) quote because we are neither customers nor are the 4 dr.am.mi.go´s good in this
loaded this mod up... wow does it ever change the game... having to totally rethink my strategy, and how I want to grow. Still trying to learn all the craft, build requirements, as I go. First game ended with me be overrun by the snipers army...
Second game ended with a mech raid.
Third game, going slowly this time. I am one that strives to build a defensible colony out of the buildings and terrain.
6 months in, and I am no where done with research, unlike vanilla. Thanks for the new challenge.

Odd. Never had any issue with it. Guess AdBlockPlus works on that.
Call me crazy, but am I the only one who would love to see a clay / terracotta / ceramic (just to generalize since for all rimworld intents and purposes they can be simplified into 1 category) production line added? for instance clay bricks for walls and tiles, or vases and pottery for early beauty items and the like. I know that clay is a part of another mod but I really like this mod for having to start from scratch and work your way up in a much more in depth way.
Man kind has been creating bricks and ceramics for centuries so it just seems to fit as an early low tech kinda thing ( I guess sort of like inferior strength stone blocks, plus who doesn't like renewable resources?)
Sorry for being so long winded, I really do love this mod though!

+1 i would also see a option to "collect" sand from sand "floor" or clay from mud or something.
Is this mod compatible with Apparello 1.6 without any patch ?
minor bug - shields (both kinds) have their "show effect" button mislabeled as "repair mode" when trying to toggle the effects back on. not sure if it is something you can fix or not (on your end anyway) but i just wanted to bring it to your attention, also, would like shields to have a very slow repair mode, or a nanite swarm-ish thing to slowly repair turrets/walls during a firefight as long as the shield was up ^^

is there any way I can get the alpha 9 version?
Question is there any way I can use the biomass to heal my colonists foot? I can't find the option, but yet I have healed other scars in other lotions but I can't find the hands and feet!!!
Quote from: Canute on May 16, 2015, 09:20:20 AM
hmm you should heal any scar except eye's.
Do you use another mod with protetic/healing abilitys ? If yes try to move it before or behind SC and look if that help.
nah mate just this mod for that, it seems all the rest of the bits work though, just at the very least not feet. One of my guys got shot in the foot and it left a scar, other than that I have used the biomass on the rest to make em spotless.
I think it's set up so you can heal any scars that can not be "repaired" via prosthetics. Makes sense, but would definitely be nice if you could simply fix all scars, assuming you didn't want to go the bionic route.

and what if the guy hates prosthetics? I don't want to amputate a limb to fix a foot. I want to fix the foot like I can the legs with biomass! not bionics! Could I get a explanation as to why I can get a new nose for ugly frank but I can't seem to heal the scar on limpy old bill. I assumed the modder just missed it or there that there is a issue with vanilla*.

I have no idea what vanalia is, but anyway, Adamiks made superior crafting and EPOE compatible (see EPOE thread, page 26), I've been playing around with that lately, it's pretty damn awesome.
If you want to have a whole lot of variety on how-to-fix-my-colonist (yes, including fixing a foot without prosthetics/bionics, for your prosth...o...phobe[? the guy hates prosthetics] colonist, and a new nose for ugly frank)
I'd suggest checking it out.

if you have a prostophobe, hates bionics, then just use advanced prosthetic. They accept those, and they restore to 100%
Some questions :
- How do u obtain kidling with wood logs for generator ?
- Don't know if this coming from this mod, but how reserving a good place (in our base) to trade with local trader (not those by ship) ? they always install their tent outside my zones . We need build beacon for that ?

First, for that you need the hand saw mill (or later on the 'electric crafting table'), there you should be able to add a bill to make kindling.
Second, I don't know, that trading thing is of the "Miscellaneous w/ MAI" mod, I think you are more likely to be answered on its own thread.
thx ! :D
forgot to look at saw mill ...
edit: Any detailled flow chart with this mod ? to know how obtain things with what research.
Is there any chance for mini-mod that change steel walls back to their default visuals?
While making futuristic colony having brick walls is just not right. That's why I always use steel instead of slate, despite slate being superior...

I don't really like overlapping mods, I was kinda hoping the mod author would tell me why he hasn't implemented this into his mod, in the O.P it says it can fix scars. It does not say that it does not fix all scars but hands and feet.
I enjoy the lightweight feel of the biomass system and looking at the mod you suggested it's way to huge!!! and more than a little overpowered, with the ability to make everyone a super worker/soldier. No thank you. The medical component in SC2 is just the right size and strength and uses up a fair bit of silver and lets you heal just about any wound and you know what? That's all I really want in a medical mod.
But Mod author if your reading this please cut the biomass you get in half or make it dependent on the medical lvl of the pawn, Oh and it's biomass so it should rot if not kept cold. Thank you for your time mod Author

Big? Yes. OP? ...Saywhat?
Yeah, sure, it's OP. It's not like you can craft bionics with SC anyway, turning pawns into superior workers.
Right?
Saying this combo is OP where SC isn't? No, I'm afraid that isn't quite true.
It merely gives a whole lot of variety.
And you know what? That's what I really want in a medical mod. ;)

reply to other nay sayer

Yes, if you open recipe-def(s) and remove the recipe of anything, for example the advanced bionics you dislike, you will not be able to craft them yourself. To remove them entirely, you'll need to remove them from the bodyparts' def too, otherwise traders and drop pods might arrive containing these bionics.
"But Mod author if your reading this please cut the biomass you get in half or make it dependent on the medical lvl of the pawn, Oh and it's biomass so it should rot if not kept cold."
Go to Rimworld\Mods\SCA10Core\Defs\RecipeDefs
open "Recipes_Production.xml"
find "<defName>ExtractBiomatterCorpse</defName>" inside,
change:
<products>
<Biomatter>35</Biomatter>
</products>
to whatever you want (the amount you get),
add:
<skillRequirements>
<li>
<skill>Medicine</skill>
<minLevel>8</minLevel>
</li>
</skillRequirements>
to this recipe, it's usually below the line:
<workAmount>1250</workAmount>
change the numbers according to your taste,
then go to Rimworld\Mods\SCA10Core\Defs\ThingDefs
open "Items_Resources.xml"
find biomatter,
find the line:
</thingCategories>
and below it add:
<comps>
<li Class="CompProperties_Rottable">
<compClass>CompRottable</compClass>
<daysToRotStart>4</daysToRotStart>
<rotDestroys>true</rotDestroys>
</li>
</comps>
change the number of <daysToRotStart>4</daysToRotStart> to whatever.
Before you do, make a backup in case of unforeseen problems.
How to make biomatter heal all scars I don't know, I'd have to look for it in the defs, possibly ask people. You too can do that.
thanks for the rotting stuff, And for being constructive
Hi,
Using this mod as part of the Overhaul mod pack and it's been loads of fun so far.
However I noticed a possible mod/game bug?
Wood torch expiration timer refreshes everytime to 2 days,15 hours when a game is reloaded from a save file.
Doesn't matter much, just bringing it to your notice.
If you could also post how you solved it, it would be a good learning tool for me.
I wasn't clear how
<compClass>CompLifespan</compClass>
<lifespanTicks>80000</lifespanTicks>
was getting reset everytime the game reloaded.
Would it be possible to make the skill turrets i.e. the punching bags and shooting ranges, be something the colonists do in their joy time or free time?
Maybe each could have a list of the colonists you would like to use it. So only certain colonists would go at the firing range, or the punching bag, or say you want to train a doctor up.
Hey thanks for this mod it is fantastic.
I however have found a bug I think, the Cram Fortress shield is not stopping drop pod attacks even when toggles to stop them.
It destroys my bought goods and silver if I forget o turn it off but it has no effect on enemy attacks.

I've not once had a bunch of drop-pods coming down through the shields.
Yes, attacking enemies will drop at the edge of the shield instead.
With SC you get nuclear reactors, producing a lot of electricity, you can place them anywhere, rather easy to build too, and does what it says: Does not allow drop pods to go through it.
Instead of having to fight inside your base, they'll spawn outside of it.
That's plenty of use...
nah mate.. I meant the pods dropped inside it..

or you
lie don't speak the truth. ???
I have executed quite a few raids just now, out of that I reached 10-12 "XY have dropped right on top of you!" kind of raids, all of them dropped outside the shielded area.
That and my previous experiences tell me that it works just fine.

its okay if you dont believe me and think I m lying, but thats what happened to me on last play, in this current play I don't use it anymore
also a suggestion for abrexus,
sometimes I don't know how this logic works:
how come creatures for example a person who wield nothing but bare hands or even worse a single squirrel could have destroy a blast door?
thats very not logical even if it takes 100 years to do it a squirrel would never be able to destroy a blast door
so how about putting defense on the doors and walls
for example the door has 10 defense so any attack below 10 will have no effect on it if an enemy put 11 attack damage the health will reduce by 1
this just a suggestion anyway :D

Logically speaking a squirrel shouldn't be able to break through my door made of granite, but hey that's just the way the game functions, maybe it changes, maybe it doesn't. As of right now though there's no purpose, or at least no one has felt the need or purpose to invest the hours it would take to code together something that simply prevents squirrels and other small critters from logically breaking through a structure that logically they wouldn't be able to. Just pretend these squirrels aren't like the ones in real life and they have reinforced claws. Honestly though if you don't have a spare colonist to go and beat that squirrel to death (you could literally do it unarmed and come back with maybe a scratch or 2) no point in having a mod that just ends up leaving 10 squirrels outside your door trying to destroy it but not being able to because logically squirrels break doors.

also a suggestion for abrexus,
sometimes I don't know how this logic works:
how come creatures for example a person who wield nothing but bare hands or even worse a single squirrel could have destroy a blast door?
thats very not logical even if it takes 100 years to do it a squirrel would never be able to destroy a blast door
so how about putting defense on the doors and walls
for example the door has 10 defense so any attack below 10 will have no effect on it if an enemy put 11 attack damage the health will reduce by 1
this just a suggestion anyway :D
Logically speaking a squirrel shouldn't be able to break through my door made of granite, but hey that's just the way the game functions, maybe it changes, maybe it doesn't. As of right now though there's no purpose, or at least no one has felt the need or purpose to invest the hours it would take to code together something that simply prevents squirrels and other small critters from logically breaking through a structure that logically they wouldn't be able to. Just pretend these squirrels aren't like the ones in real life and they have reinforced claws. Honestly though if you don't have a spare colonist to go and beat that squirrel to death (you could literally do it unarmed and come back with maybe a scratch or 2) no point in having a mod that just ends up leaving 10 squirrels outside your door trying to destroy it but not being able to because logically squirrels break doors. (In the circumstance that no colonists are nearby when it happens [which i find hard to believe since the squirrel would be attempting to break through the door to get into the colony where your colonists are] then oh well)
lol I love your sense of humor mate.. okay then its just a suggestion, no?
well then I have another suggestion which is simpler and wont change much of the programming thing (finger crossed into my heart :D)..
How about we rename the squirell into something more scary and make it logical to know that it can destroy a blast door (a fuckin blast door for goat sake).. lemme think.. I think squirellzilla would suffice 8) 8) 8)

Don't forget you arn't on earth, a earthen squirrel isn't the same like a rimworld squirrel.
The human settler just named these creatures after squirrel because they look similar cute at first.
But they can be dangerous but not aggresive until someone anger them. They got claws like razorbladed which they need to open the Rimnuts.
And yes they can open plasteel blast doors like tin can, if you give them time.
blast doors are not realy stronger then Rimnuts ! :-)
your logic is pretty screwed :D
but i love it mate!
I love this mod! pls add unmanned artillery that fire when powered and a hopper is filled with artillery shells. Thanks for the awesome mod!
I think I know now why drop pods dropping right inside the CRAM shield.
I've noticed that all other pods burnt except 2 kind of pods:
1. silver delivery (from trading with merchants)
2. mechanoids drop pods (which tend to drop the closest to your available fortress door)
this happen to me just yesterday and the next it happen I will try to print screen the event
Is there a way to set a group of Hydroponics Bays to grow the same thing, rather than having to click them one by one?
I suspect this will be possible in A11 when the game allows you to copy bills as well as stockpile configurations.
I like to ask if anyone else having a problem with Exotic Goods Trader comming to your base. Last year I had all other traders but exotic. Since its the only one who buy Art / clothes its very annoying - have in stock more than 20 statues but no trader to sell them. That happens almost in every mid game, same was in Alpha 9.
Quote from: Canute on June 04, 2015, 06:34:56 AM
Random is random, and not so random like you want it.
for him.
Yeah the right trader is never coming when you need them.
And when you just sold your stock of Art/weapons/whatever the next similar trader comes next day and ask you why you don't got stuff
It is pretty annoying, but this is a general problem at Rimworld and not just this mod.
I dont have this problem playing Vanilla game. Maybe because there are 2 more trading ships added in this mod, so the chance for Exotic is somehow lowered.
Could you guys please make the mod more modular?
I really liked the ceiling lamps, which are not further developed in the main thread of the corresponding mod and dont work with alpha 10.
The superior crafting mod on the other hand has to many features in it for me which i dont want to have active all in parallel

They can create 100 versions of this mod or you just can delete everything and leave only ceiling lamps (thingDef).
I know its just a little thing, but must planks be so yellow?
I looked for the texture image in hopes that I could just replace it, but I have yet to locate it.
If its not a texture and just a hex number or somthing in a def file somewhere, can I ask where I might locate it to make it slightly more brown/tan?

One of the mods I have on also adds gold flooring, which is pretty much the exact same color. While I have no intrest in having a golden room, I feel like I could make one... with wood planks.
lol.. yea, I saw that mod too and I have it.
Haven't needed to build anything gold-plated or made of gold yet :D
Any hope of making windowed walls to allow daytime light into rooms?
Perhaps there could be just holed walls, counts as indoors, but matches outdoor temp (like Vents do), then after Crafting I, allow building windowed walls and windowed conduit walls (each use 1 glass).
And perhaps, after Crafting II and Agriculture II allow walls made entirely of Glass, for that Greenhouse look ;-)

You could make one variation of a wall, that allows light through, by just messing around with the .xml files.
the texture would need some work though.
Loving the mod, there are just a few kinks left. One tiny issue is the spelling in several descriptions - takes the immersion away.
As a start, you could replace the description text of the Sabre Fortress Shield (under \SCA10Core\Defs\ThingDefs at the bottom of the file 'Buildings_Security') with:
Quote
<description>By refocusing the primary coil system into a vertical configuration the shields range can be extended. While lacking the Sabre's Fire Supression mode it covers a larger area and gains the ability to disrupt the avionic systems of DropPods, causing them to crash with terminal velocity.</description>
There may very well be mistakes in my text as well - nobody is perfect ;)
Abrexus, come back for Alpha 11, we miss you and your Husky!
In the next version, would it be possible to add a sentence about how draggable tables behave to their description? As part of the Ultimate Overhaul mod pack, I ran into confusion (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11934.msg139325#msg139325) about "draggable" possibly meaning that it was a 1x1 table that you could build then later move somewhere else instead of it actually being click-dragged to any size. I'm sure not many people run into that, but a little blurb in the item description would help.
As said there, you are the only person who has and/or had this description problem.
To my knowledge "dragable" is not a synonyme for "moveable" or "mobile". That you anticipated that behaviour is not a description flaw.
Oh no, he's not the only one. I was wondering the same thing when I loaded the mod for the first time. But then I just tried it and found out what it did or didn't do.
There's a difference between 'not getting what the description is meaning and asking in a forum to change that' and 'not getting what the description is meaning and testing what it does' ...
I thought it was pretty clear that by dragable table meant you could click and drag any size/shape you want.
In another game, say skyrim where you can pick up things and move them around, a dragable table would be one you could move by dragging. But seeing as in rimworld you cant move things I'm not sure where you would get that idea.
But thats just me.

Same here.
Takes all kinds and all types of mind-frames.
If I had tried it in a different state of mind, perhaps it would have struck me in a different way.
Let me give a similar example... when my colony was in the temperature control phase, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get the LT Temperature Mod's industrial cooler to work. Not having used even the regular cooler, I didn't realise I had to have it sticking out the room, just like in real life.
I thought the exhaust vents + duct would take out all the hot air, leaving the room in which the industrial cooler perfectly cool. (Perhaps like a split AC!!!).
Was really pissed and the intro image on the thread didn't clear it up for me either.
Next day, I played again, and found the 'proper' way to set it up.
Both ways still make sense to me now, depending on how I look at it.
Now can we drop the topic and get to pestering all the mod creators to get their mods updated to A11 :D
(Still playing my 1st colony, day 60 in A10, after I last played A4... I gradually grow this 'test' colony learning one aspect of the overhaul mod, before moving to the next one.. organically growing and learning concepts one by one. Like fiddling with xmls, making my own invisible conduits/ducts.. changing floors to have different move speed, so I spend as much time with the xmls as I do playing the mod! :D )
That's very familiar! I had the same issue. But after testing it a bit and sleeping on it, it just made sense, make a temperature controlled room and then distribute the controlled air through the base.
My biggest issue was understanding how temperature actually works in RimWorld and the effects of the outside temperature. Though I haven't yet succeeded in making a complex system that's self regulating.
For instance, the exhausts of all cooling solutions being collected in a single area, which then gets temperature controlled through vents connected to the outside. This so there isn't actually any "outside" area needed inside or connected to the base. Heat waves mess this up badly, and cold snaps disable the cooling so there isn't any heat generated. :D
Sadly, it's also this complexity that sometimes makes me hold off on testing stuff, specially when playing a non-basebuilding game. I have yet to try out the belt system because I'm unsure how it works and it's power requirements, and I've already discovered multiple ways of doing item transportation/optimization in other ways/mods.
Contrary to popular belief I was not kidnapped by aliens! I'm working on the update for Alpha 11, and hope to have it out for the weekend!

He'll get there when he gets there. Abrexus is the kind of man who doesn't just rush things, which is why we all love his mod so much. He'll breathe quality into every little nook and cranny and after testing the hell out of it finally post it.
Also let the record show that after the line provided below anyone asking him for an ETA on his mod being updated will be getting back handed by me; let him work.

not gonna lie i would totally toss in a few bucks to the makers of the "Good" mods :p
right best mod ever , this game is unplayable without this mod...
if i were tynan i would srsly consider integrate this mod in the game
I wouldn't say unplayable, but certainly different. Superior Crafting adds a lot more challenge and a lot more management. There's something to be said for the vanilla resource simplicity as well.
I'd honestly probably like SC a lot more - and mind I am a fan - if the game did a better job of allowing you to actually get colonists to focus on specific tasks. When there are four active Crafting bills going and your crafter insists on doing the least important one so you sit there right-clicking after every unit produced it gets a bit tedious. Not Abrexus' fault at all, but still something to deal with.

Didn't play since Alpha 7. I used to play with TechTreeMinami or this one, depending on my mood. I did a quick try on Alpha 11 but without these mods it's not the same taste !
Trying to play the game with out Superior crafting is like trying to play vanilla minecraft after playing with a modpack like Feed the Beast or something. Just feels like SO much is missing and your able to very quickly experience all the game has to offer really fast.
I can't play Rim without this mod :(

My guess is that author is having good time in civ ;-)
ok thx
I think what Tynan should do is forward all Rimworld updates to Abrexus at least week before handing them over to SendOwl. That way we can avoid future anxiety filled gaps between official Rimworld updates and the eventual SAC updates.
Or Tynan could incorporate advanced crafting as an integrated mod; if people want vanilla they click it off, if they want SC they click it on. Ez Pz.
Oh yes... pretty please yes.
... >,.> I know its bad, but I keep checking the forums for this to update to Alpha 11. I'm beginning to feel like a bird circling its prey waiting for it to run out from the den in which its hiding.

can anybody tell me what level my doctor has to be to install bionics? im at 15 and the bills not showing up.
Are you sure you've crafted them?
yeah i have the bionic spine in a stockpile
Hmm install option becomes available alongside with organ extraction and euthanize.
its not showing up for me.
this is my mod list if it helps?
EdBInterface,EdBPrepareCarefully,fashioning hyperweave and synthread,GlitterTech,laser and plasma weapons,mad skills and project armoury

It's GlitterTech that wont let you do your surgery, been here done that:
First, you need to get EdbModOrder, load SuperiorCrafting ( SCA10Core ) after GlitterTech to ensure that the modified xml i'll post here containing all the surgeries for these two mods override the main load sequence
I dont know if there is already a fix for that, but i made my own : http://pastebin.com/c9NetxAu
Paste it here
Rimworld\Mods\SCA10Core\Defs\RecipeDefs and make sur that it is a XML file, if needed, rename it to Recipes_Surgery.xml

Hey Everyone,
I am just about finished updating to alpha 11. I am very sorry for the delay, but I have been dealing with a health issue that has slowed my progress on the mod development. I normally don't like to bring my personal problems to the forums (and I am in no way looking for sympathy), but I want everyone to know what's going on. You have all been great supporters, and your kindness and concern has been a great help to me in dealing with my issues. I promise to have it out very soon. In fact I only have a few more files to finish updating, and I should have a working test version available for download. See below the doctors report to get an idea of what I am dealing with. (And no, I am not worried about people knowing my name....I'm not that paranoid :o

Be well!
(where's the dl link?)
Keep your health a no.1 priority and get better.
I am sure we all would like to keep playing further versions of rimworld with your mod and don't care about waiting a while for it. ;D
Hope the health situation stabilizes/improves - I've had a few health issues in the past and know how (even my non-life threatening ones) can impact everything else going on in life at the time.
As you know, this mod is beloved by the community, but I'd rather see your steady involvement over time, rather than a rushed release after one particular alpha and burnout.
Oh goodness! I hope you get better soon.
get well soon.. don't strain yourself re: the mod.. We guys can wait for a few more days coughhourscough.
You don't have to prove anything with your document ! Even if you simply "quit Rimworld", you can. I allow you.
No hardware complication? disc space? likely related to altered mechanics
oh I can read between the lines mr drum, don't blame rimworld updates on inability to update! :P *poke*

Question, in the future, could there potentially be a worktable or something like that where you could mend clothing and weapons? It'd be an interesting idea and it's a function that would make this mod even better. (Honestly the main game could use it too.)

Yes, I am working on that currently along with adding back in Soylent Green. I will most likely make it an optional expansion as some prefer not to have the mending option.

Hey Abrexus , beany was telling us the other day that if you add :
QuoteHowever there is no need for the DLL anymore, Tynan changed his code to make it mod friendly. Simple add one line to the XML:

<isMealSource>true</isMealSource>
<spawnedConceptLearnOpportunity>BillsTab</spawnedConceptLearnOpportunity>
<heatPerTickWhileWorking>0.25</heatPerTickWhileWorking>
</building>
His code checks if there is one object on the map with the isMealSource tag set to true. If there is then you don't get the tutorial message.

O, Abe, good news for all of us! Many thx for your job, man.
But... "Forgive me father for I have sinned" - I was playin' a bit with Hardcore SK modpack. And I definitely will del it and instal the glorious SC mod, though I want to admit, there are some moments at HC, I want to see in yor mod:
* The first one is the ability to place air-conditioners and doors upon walls (for no reasons - it's just much more comfotable to play).
* The second thing is separate bills for dif stone blocks recipes. And I must say a few words here. You know that community of RW is wierd a little (in a good way). And there are many people with a perfectionism (some even at the edge of OCD), who like their bases to be perfectly made. And, generally, you prefer to have some stock of marble blocks for your sculptures (they're most beautiful), some granite blocks for outer perimeter walls (more stronger), and some limestone for inner walls (faster to mine chunks and to build walls). So that's the reason I want my crafter to keep the stock of 200 marble blocks, 500 granite and 1k of limestone walls. But I can't do it. And don't tell me of "you can allow only marble and set to 'do until you have 200' at bill-table" - this thing doesn't work (cuase it counts all of stone blocks at your stockpiles).
So that's my little cry. You can hear it or not - I'll play your mod no matter what you decide, but I don't think these little things will take a lot of your time to implement, and you can make the Rimlife of your fans just a bit easier.
And... Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Woohoo, checked the forums after work and the new version is out... you just made my day! ;D
Can't wait to fire this up... it might be a Rimworld day at work.
hey Abrexus. firstly, I hope you get better soon, awesome man. health is the most important. secondly, keep up the fantastic work! it really is the best mod I've encountered.
okay now, that I have this out of my mind (had to say it), I have a question, possibly problem. I've researched Construction I, and I still can't build stone doors. I have the materials, I can build stone walls just fine. I can build metal doors though, even when I don't have the materials. maybe that's how it should be, I'm just asking.
Hello, i don't know how to get craft II.
i have :
power I, II
Agriculture I
Crafting I
Construction II (and the one before, 'stone work', i don't know how to translate it)
Security I
Do i miss smth?

Amazing mod I just discovered yesterday ! Great Job !
I also encountered the steam generator problem (impossible to fill the hoppers with kindlings).
Are the saves going to be compatible with the next fixed versions ?

Yes, it is compatible. If there is ever a save breaking update, I post it on the front page below the download link. And you're most welcome.
I can't remove floors of random generated structures. just checked my own floors, can't remove them either. is it just me? Abrexus, I'm also reminding you of my previous question, a couple of posts back.

There are no stone doors in SC, and I will check on the floor situation for you after work today!
all is clear now, thanks! I'll wait patiently with those floors, there's no hurry.
So, quick question; what research do I need to do, to get Stone walls?
Beathrus, just Construction I.
Uh huh, Uh huh... I researched 'Construction I' and did not get the ability to make stone walls... Is why I am asking. x.x
Quote from: Canute on June 23, 2015, 01:36:41 PM
1. Maybe you do the common mistake, you only get the option to place a special material wall/door/workbench/furniture when you got these material at your stockpile.
2. At the Craftman's table you can made Stoneblock.
If you are unsure about what do what, since there is no manual for this complex Mod.
You should safe your game, at the Option enable Development mode, at the Icon top right activate God mode.
Place the workbench you are missing, instant finish some Researches and watch what you get from what.
After you gather some nessesary info's just disable Development mode and load your safe game.
Well, Just in case some mods might be clashing. Here is what I am working with.
Edit: I do have a craft table, and I made stone blocks. Still can't make stone walls, I'll try making more blocks out of other materials to see if that changes anything.
Edit: I figured it out. I am the dumb, please disregard my earlier post about not being able to make stone walls. Excuse me now, while I dunk my head in ice and laugh at myself.

what's your ideal mod list?
something I'm not sure is intended or not, but if you try to make soil rich and you happen to have a growing zone with trees on top and the trees are growing they'll be cut down even if they don't have the mulch right now so if a guy is both on construction, planting and cutting he ends up cutting down and replanting the same tree over and over again.

I installed the update, but removing floors is still broken for me. I can designate it, so that's a progress, but colonists will just come to a tile, stand a second removing the mark from it and that's all, they move on.

Update incoming for the fix! Thanks very much for pointing this out! Also, I did test the floor removal and it appears to be working for me. I'll do some more in depth testing however just to make sure.
Awesome!
Few more moments:
1. Surgical operations are done in regular beds sometimes, though 2-3 special medical beds are free;
2. Settlers are not wearing armor vests by themselves, as they did it in previous mod version (Al. 10).
I can't install Scyther Blade, there is no such option in operations menu. and about that floors problem, I created a new game to check it and if floors aren't supposed to leave materials after removing, it's working fine. it's just my old save that's causing the bug, but no biggie.

1. Confirmed and my guy got malaria and just wouldnt get out of the regular bed(and was cured before it became major). I could have forced him out but i just let him stay
2. my guys seem to be wearing armor fine - but i will always have one guy that likes his cobraskin duster more than he would legendary power armor.
ps - watched this mod grow from first post just tried it two days ago - really bang up job OP

Thanks for the kind words! As for the medical bed issue....not sure what's causing that. I checked the xml files, and the medical bed is properly flagged "<bed_defaultMedical>true</bed_defaultMedical>" and it's the only bed with that flag, so they should default to that one before any other bed if they need medical attention. I'm going to have to put my thinking cap on for that one.
When I right click on the tailor's loom, the smithing table, or the crafting bench the right click menu does not appear, keeping me from ordering someone to prioritize working on it. Also colonists don't seem to want to restart work on a job at any of those.

Works fine for me.
This can happen because:
1. Unfinished item was started by other colonist, only owner can finish job;
2. Colonist has not that job type enabled;
3. Bench has no tasks or task is suspended;
4. You don't have mats to do the job.

I installed the update, and I had the same behavior for floors I'd already constructed. However, floors I constructed *after* installing the update can be removed successfully.
For the medical bed issue, I have no idea how to code, but maybe there is a way to forbid colonists from using the default one when they are sick?
In this case they won't be able to sleep in the bed if medical bed is busy or absent.

I checked, it was her build. The menu wouldn't even appear. After cancelling the job they would start work on it as normal, but I cannot order them to work on it as I cannot access the menu.
Hence why I'm not a coder. It was just an idea.
Great discussion and ideas everyone!
#1 The floors are removable, but due to the amount of resources used to create them you may not get anythng back after deconstructing if it is a floor that only requires one piece of wood for example.
#2 The beds still have me a bit stumped. I plan on putting some quality time into testing this evening. I didn't have much time in the beginning of the week, but I have some free time the next few days.
#3 The workstations "may" be wanting the "<surfaceType>Item</surfaceType>" code in their XML, so I added it to see if that fixes any issues. While they did work before, it may have been causing some minor glitches with that line removed.

Actually, I never had that as part of superior crafting. You can harvest the organs, and you can replace the eyes, nose, arms, legs with prosthetics. I didn't add that mainly because I wanted to streamline the surgery system. If I added every part in the body as something you could harvest the menu would get unwieldy.

Just added some code to the production table XML. You wont notice anything different in the game with this update. I'm actually working on making the training items be automatic, so you don't have to force the colonists to use them anymore.
So, I've started a new colony with superior crafting, played for a while, and now i have the issue that i cannot find any plasteel at all. this wouldn't be an issue in vanilla rimworld, as you only need around 850 plasteel, and it is possible to buy that much, but in superior crafting, you even need it for the geothermal generator. is something just broken, do i need to quarry out the mountains, or am i supposed to do something else?

You can actually craft plasteel at the chemlab using raw devilstrand and steel ore.
thanks. also, any suggestion on how to deal with a room full of mechs where i want to build my sleeping rooms? i thought of putting a crapton of explosive traps down, but will they hit scythers? i think it is 3 scythers and 1 centipede, at least when i looked into it and then loaded a save i had made right before looking.

I wall them off if i have to make 3-4 choke points maybe an elbow so i have a place to run and hide out and they have to come to me heck for that matter run them into a trap - build a wall and just move them
nah, I'll just make a full set of power armor and charge rifles, that should do it.
EDIT: also, once i can make plasteel, do i still need steel for anything?

Crafting items like weapons and armor still needs steel, as well as construction like wires and solar panels.
Hello, just wanted to say I signed up to thank you for your work. I'd also like to echo earlier posts - a way to fix 'frail' torsos would be fantastic, whether that's including the 'torso' segment as a reference for Bionic Spines, biomatter slap-patches, whatever. I'm still using version A10, mind, so it's quite possible that you've already done just that. Knowing how hard it is to maintain and work on such things, thank you for your hard work!

I don't think so, but I don't really know all the features. what i know is that there is no bill showing up in the operations tab for frail, for other injuries, it shows up, even if you don't have the required materials.
EDIT: is there any way to make AI persona cores? I'm trying to make all my colonists full bionic right now, and even though i ahve a crapton of devilstrand i can sell, the traders don't ahve enough money on them that i could just buy persona cores whenever an exotic goods trader shows up.

Hi!
Best way is to make wood plank grand statues, leather appeal and sell them to trader. Also sell all stuff looted from raiders. Make bio-matter from their corpses, don't bury them. You can also make organs from that biomatter which is also can be sold.
The only way is to buy it from vendors, or you can install a mod which allows crafting.
no, i meant is there a way to craft them. i ahve a huge devilstrand field, so big that i can't sell all of it when a trader comes around because the trader doesn't have enough money, i just want to know if i can get persona cores without having to wait for the exotic goods trader.

My understanding is that block direct stops incoming projectiles. Indirect destroys drop pods, including ones from trade ships. Fire suppression is that it slowly puts out fires in the zone.

Indirect destroys drop pods, including ones from trade ships.
so, why does the cram shield have an "intercept drop pod" function?
Thanks for updating Abrexus. Great mod as always.

Block indirect is for mortar shells I believe.

i think the graves are essentially stockpiles on critical and autoconfigured to only take corpses. maybe you can't use bodies from critical stockpiles? anyway, you can just deconstruct the graves, too, or change the priority. The chemlab only requires crafting, and at least extracting stuff with the organ vat only requires crafting, too. I ahven't tried making organs though.
Thank you Blub01 for helping out with the questions. Yes, you would want to deconstruct the graves to free the bodies for use in the organ vat. I also plan on taking a look at the amount of $$$ traders bring with them. As for crafting the AI Core, I struggled with that and in the end decided that you would have to get them as loot from the crashed ship, or purchase them from a trader. I may rethink this however.
hunting for AI cores brings some challenge! Please leave as it is now :)
I've found a funny bug with SCA11Core_0625 version.
Description:Infinite work loop: plant tree/chop tree.
You should have only few mulch items stored.
How to reproduce:
- Designate growing zone with trees. Pine trees for example.
- Cover growing zone with rich soil tiles.
Expected results:
- Trees are planted.
- Rich soil tiles are built, trees grow faster.
Actual results:
- Trees are planted.
- Tile is cleaned for rich soil - tree is chopped down, go to step #1.

then at least make bulk goods trader have a little bit more money at hand. i ahve a big devilstrand field which i put rich soild on, and i produce it faster than i can sell it because bulk goods trader only have 2000-3000 silver on them. also, a priority system for bills wood be nice, and maybe the possibility to check for the amount of raw resources required to do a bill? so i could make devilstrand into devilstrand cloth until i have 2000 devilstrand left?
EDIT: do i have any chance of getting more goodwill with the pirates by releasing prisoners, or does it just not work?

For those who use both Abrexus crafting mod and the Veg Garden mod, I have taken the time to break my mod up into a Bunch of research projects that are blended into the Superior Crafting research. As you unlock research in his mod you discover my stuff. Example after you research AgricultureI you'll unlock ExpandedAgricultureI which unlocks all my new vegetables! All my tables can be unlock though research and use bars and blocks from SC. So here's my add-on for Superior Crafting! I'll also be add to my page a download link later on. Let me know if you find bugs :)

So, what do I do about someone losing a hand; Or foot? Do I replace the entire leg or arm?
(this may not be a mod problem) but how do i make a sculpters table to produce art - do i need a specific tech?
many thanks
I seem to hit a really big problem.
I love the beds and nuclear power plant, but:
The only material available to make a standard wall is wood, and the rest has power conduit attached. Not a good idea, especially if you plan on power switching.
Doors needs to be next to a power conduit to work. Also a backtrack from the recent updates.
I can't seem to plant food in planting zone, and the only thing in hydroponic is potato.
(about power switching, what I mean is to make a central power hub that run to different places. Example being offing the turret power line when not being raided. Saves a lot of power for things like sunlamps and heatings)
Is it just me or are those the feature of SC?
I use at least half of the available A11 mods in this forum.
I am brand new to using this mod and so far I must say, I really enjoy it. It adds good depth while maintaining a reasonable level of balance!
I do believe I have encountered a bug though and was hoping someone might be able to confirm for me. Basically, it is my understanding that one must research Agriculture 1 before one can grow corn, rice, and strawberries. Additionally, one must research the minor tech "medicine" to cultivate Xerigium. However, I seem to be able to cultivate all of those things immediately upon planetfall with no research completed at all.
Am I missing something or have I found a minor bug? Thank you!
Maybe try running just this mod to see if the problem persists (with new map and game). My agricultural works as advertised on both the issues raised above (research for crops, what can by planted in hydroponics).
Not sure if its a bug, but I can't fix scars on the hands or feet.
thx for this great mod :)

I've encountered the same thing. Oddly enough, it goes away on its own. (I think it happens after you quit to desktop and restart the game.)
How complicated is it to attach things to a research?
I want to use other mods with SC, but I dont like having them unlocked from the start.
In case I'm not being clear, lets say for example I have a mod that adds more floor tiles that I can build. But I dont want to have access to them until I learn Construction III. Is it something as simple as going into a file and making a minor tweak?
According to this wiki page (http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/ThingDef#Global_elements) you have to add a researchPrerequisite tag in each related files in the ThingDef folder of the mod.
Sorry for the lack of information I'm on my cellphone right now
EDIT: Now i'm in front of my computer ;) :
It looks like that : <researchPrerequisite>PowerI</researchPrerequisite> for Power Conduit in \Mods\Core_SK\Defs\ThingDefs\Buildings_Power.xml.
You have to make sure the value of the <researchPrerequisite> tag match the one write in \Mods\Core_SK\Defs\ResearchProjectDefs files.
So to summarize :
1)in Defs\ThingDefs you can modify building/item features and it's there you can modify which research unlock it, with the use of the <researchPrerequisite></researchPrerequisite> tag.
ex. : <ThingDef ParentName="BuildingBase">
<defName>PowerConduit</defName>
<label>power conduit</label>
<thingClass>Building</thingClass>
<category>Building</category>
[...]
<designationCategory>Power</designationCategory>
<constructEffect>ConstructMetal</constructEffect>
<designationHotKey>U</designationHotKey>
<researchPrerequisite>PowerI</researchPrerequisite>
</ThingDef> in this you see that you need to research PowerI to unlock the Power conduits (building)
2)in \Defs\ResearchProjectDefs you can do the same with research fields by using <prerequisites><li></li></prerequisites>
ex. : <ResearchProjectDef>
<defName>PowerII</defName>
<label>Power II</label>
<description>Further advancements in power technology, give your colonists the ability to harness the power of the sun. Unlocks the solar powered generator. Also increases battery efficiency by 15 percent.</description>
<totalCost>600</totalCost>
<prerequisites>
<li>PowerI</li>
</prerequisites>
</ResearchProjectDef>in this you see that you need to research PowerI to unlock PowerII.
Also note that you can put several <prerequisites> with the use of <li></li> like Geothermal/powerIII :
<ResearchProjectDef>
<defName>GeothermalPower</defName>
<label>Power III</label>
[...]
<prerequisites>
<li>ElectricSmelting</li>
<li>PowerII</li>
</prerequisites>
</ResearchProjectDef>

i am not sure if you are going to read this but is this mod available for alpha 10?
Try here maybe : http://www.nexusmods.com/rimworld/mods/47/?
Regarding the Terraforming Pump, I am curious if the soil stays in place if the pump is removed or is it necessary to keep the pump in place even after the soil is created? Thanks!
You can remove the pump. Soil remains.
I wish there was an 'advanced' pump that did a full area, the same size as the Sun lamps.

I'm really wondering how you achieve that! I was looking in .Xml files yesterday to see if I can understand and wasn't able to even find a clue. Gratz
Great! Thank you!
I have a question.
Where I can sell kindling?
No traders accept it.
Is it possible to add cannon which uses shells?
Currently I have a save where 30+ mechanics are attacking me from pod drop.
I can't handle them :-)

Oh dang. That is horrible, I recommend traps, and lots of traps. Like, fire traps and explosive ones; Maybe just surround it in a large area with Embrasures and build flammable floors. Maybe if the heat gets over 300 they'll fry! And use a Blast door!
Ho ho ho :)

The existing items I updated in the game are vents, training items, and hydroponics tables. They may need to be deconstructed, the game saved, then rebuilt after the update. I would make a backup just to be sure.

Have you added in Bionic hands or feet yet? o.o Or some substitute for when a colonist loses a hand or foot, or it gets scarred? Because I can't repair scars on the hands or feet. x.x

Had the same problem this morning.
Deconstructing the items, then upgrading the mod seemed to fix that, as said by Abrexus.
Hmm kobayashi Maru, just i think of Star Trek acedemy tests, maybe you add a special uniform like in ST :D
I don't know if it's a change made by the update or a general thing with Ultimate Collection - and wether it's generating the errors in the first place - but at my end the hydroponics were in the Buildings_Structures.xml and in the v0701 they are in the Buildings_Production.xml. So I had to delete the entry from one file and move it to another to not have two buildings with the same tag.
Works fine :)
I don't quite understand how the food synthesizer works... It has no 'bill' tab. Is it normal ?
You place a hoppper near it and fill it with food thats all. Rest is done automaticly :)

Guys, it seems that my pawn with an eye shot out can't have an operation to have a natural eye installed. My doctor pawn is a 12 on medicine and we do have herbal medicine in stock. The natural eye produced is placed on a stockpile so it is registered in the inventory. Any ideas? :(
I do have other mods installed but Crafting Overhaul is the main one, others installed are:
EdB's PrepareCarefully, ModOrder, and Interface (Alpha 11 ver)
ApparelloA11
A11Darkness
Miscellaneous w/ MAI (Both standalones)
Hospitality
Zombie Apocalypse
To my knowledge, none of these mods except the Crafting Overhaul mod alters the medical operation bill of the pawns. So i'm stuck with a dude with a shot out eye and a vatgrown eye in stock

The problem is a conflict with the Zombie Apocalypse mod overwriting my races_humanoid.xml. I'll post a fix for this in a short bit.
slight problem (just frustrating) if you have your socialite (i tend to use the highest social character to trade) assigned to train on a shooting range (and possibly other training things) they go back to it when you tell them to trade. making it so they don't go to the trade console (he was my researcher, but hes done now so all he does is train until i need him to trade something)
another update, it might be a good idea to make it so that fire extinguishers are a tad more rare on raids and support events.... currently have 5 people, 1 with a shiv, the rest with varying quality fire extinguishers, attempting to assist in taking out 5 sythers.... i will update on the outcome of the battle Slaughter.
one valiently attempted to extinguish the life of one of them, the syther however had other plans and got a headshot.
also seems that the crafting bug is back. wont let me craft melee weapons on the crafting table (plasteel things anyhow, haven't tried anything else yet)
edit: anything that goes beyond a certain point requirement (steel seems to work fine) that causes a long crafting time due to material ends up being abandoned on the table, unable to be worked on.

Working on the fixes for these issues, and thank you for bringing them to my attention. So far this is complete:
* Raiders should no longer be armed with fire extinguishers
* Colonists should now be able to resume crafting melee weapons at the craftsman's table
* Fixed bug when adding the 5th colonist to the training menu
Neither Mrofa nor I cannot reproduce the training item bug you mention. We are also working on one other minor bug with the use of the fire extinguisher. Once that is complete an update will be forthcoming!

i'll likely be streaming again in a few minutes, i'll see if i can reproduce it again.
managed to reproduce, have a colonist who has freetime pretty much all the time, so they run towards the training object (in my case, the firing range) they will start to train, if you right click on the com console and tell them to trade, it ignores the menu's request and continues to train.

That may be related to the job time. I see something similar with the research table, where the colonist ignores other jobs given to him - wether automatically (eat, sleep) or manually (only crafter and a bill is due). It seems that the jobcycle is rather long so the colonist is looking for new jobs only rarely.

Thx mate. I tell them ;)
So, I was preparing to install the positronic brain into one of my colonists when it occurred to me that I am not entirely clear on what it even does. Does it allow them to learn skill faster? Appreciate any insight into this, thanks!
New here (and to the game). I'm using SC, EDB UI, EDB Prepare, Pawn State and Vanilla Enhanced.
For whatever reason, my pawns are no longer eating on their own. If I don't tell them to eat, they starve. Additionally, I can't get them to use the simple grill to make jerky. It tells me I need supplies, while I have 100+ meat sitting in storage right next to it.
Any suggestions for fixing one or both?
All the compatibility bugs i encountered were fix'd by loading SC after all the others mods, so...
Didn't seem to fix the current save, will try a new one.
Is the current lasted version v0701 playable? I read that a lot of raiders spawn with fire extinguishers instead of weapons?

There is a fix incoming for that and it's tested and works. It is playable however, wait a short bit for the updated fix.
Updated to v0702
* Raiders should no longer be armed with fire extinguishers
* Colonists should now be able to resume crafting melee weapons at the craftsman's table
* Fixed bug when adding the 5th colonist to the training menu
* Fixed the advanced prosthetic arm, power claw, & scyther blade so they now properly work as melee weapons
* Colonists will now stop training if asked to perform another job
Also posted on the front page is a Zombie Apocalypse fix!
Are colonists supposed to ignore fires if they don't have fire extinguishers?
I guess they're not. But I see that game now lags when fire starts. Looks like it tries to find routes to those extinguishers before tapping out fire.
Also new vent system is cool. Bit it has a small issue. If fire starts inside the building and temperature goes high - it quickly becomes high all around the place :)
Looks like I need more isolated Base.
Maybe a vent research - shuts automatically for fire safety?
There is massive lag when trying to interact with items. When i right click on items to prioritize them, the game freezes up and then for a sec and then the frame rates drop to less then 1. It only started happening 36 days from start, sitting with 10 colonists. Feels like there is a massive error spam going on in the background when i try to prioritize.
Also a bug i found: Had 1 sculptor's table with 1 sculptor with art priority set to 1, i recruited a prisoner and he had 4 art priority which somehow he overtook the sculpting position, i removed his art priority to get my original sculptor back working but i couldn't interact with the sculpting table, had to build a new one as the original one was locked to the guy that took over.
Edit: reloading the game to a 10 minute earlier save and there is no lag when interacting with objects.
Lag is partialy our fault and we are thinkering on it .... ,sculuptor stuff is vanilia stuff so its vanilia fault.
Other part of the lag seems to be beoucouse of mutitude of crafting tables(my theory), did test the stuff for 2h already, so unfortunately its also a vanilia thing and we cant fix it :/
Edit:
This might also be a fault of some other mods your using.
If you can when you get the lags, do a save, go into game folder\RimWorld834Win_Data\ and send us output_log.txt
Im using 3 mods Edb interface, prepare carefully, and this. The lag is only there when i right click on stuff to order prioritization, its also inconsistent as i don't have it anymore and im further along into the game.

There's an over-walk.
You need to make new guy finish his work, or you won't be able to get rid of unfinished thing.
- Build second table and order to build grand statue from gold;
- Suspend work on first table;
- new guy will finish work on second table and won't start new work;
- Restart job on first table.
Dwarf Fortress allowed to assign specific worker on every post. Sigh.
P.S.: I miss water physics, pets, bone crafting (what you guys do with skeletons all around the map?!), digging, and so on...
TIP: Surviving beast pack attacks provides you not only meat for a whole year, but also enough leather to make stuff :)
on the subject of menu lag, it seems to gradually build up, whenever you restart RW it goes away. not sure what causes it but it always happens after playing for a while, but never right after a new game or loading a save.

Update to v0703
Small change in jobdriver and workgiver code for the fire extinguisher to fix a few reported issues.
I'm having trouble with the Organ Vat, my colonists won't produce organs on their own (I have bills ready for it) and when I try to micromanage always says: "Cannot extract OrganVat: Needs Materials" however I have plenty, pleeenty of Biomatter, is there another item I need?
---EDIT---
I figured the problem, there was another requesite on the bill, the crafter required 6 Medice skill, nothing a couple of battle didn't accomplish.
Added download link for Alpha 11b comparability. Please note there are two versions currently of Superior Crafting. Please make sure you are downloading the correct one for the version of Rimworld you are currently running.
that was a quick update to 11b.... I am so ready to start playing a relaxing game.
Thanks for the rapid update! Can you confirm if Miscellaneous V1.11.2 - Vanilla Enhanced works with A11B? I had very weird trader behavior when trying to run it - they showed up, but never set up a tent and never left!
Also, is Miscellaneous your mod? I assume so, given the direct link to a download...
Newcomer to this mod but am loving it so far.
I do have a question about making plasteel bars (required for the thermal generator) It's not clear what tech is required to make them.
I've got Crafting to III
Construction to II
Power to III
Security to II
Still not seeing how to make plasteel bars.
At the electric smelter?

That's a "feature" of vanilla Rimworld. Any crafting that uses the recipemaker so that you can go back and finish the item later does that. Weapons, apparel, and art also do the same thing.

I don't understand. Some recipes list the ingredients such as bionic spine: requires 10 artificial bones, 20 plasteel, & 30 microchips. However flamethrower does not tell you what it needs, it just says 100 ingredients and 10 ingredients. Which should be listed as 100 steel bars and 10 plasteel bars i believe. How is this not a bug?
Edit: Bug? I have 3 industrial coolers, the side thats suppose to receive heat is cooler then the side thats suppose to receive cold. Also why does the industrial cooler consume 4.3x less power then vanilla cooler?
(http://i.imgur.com/njk27yo.jpg)
Edit2: Description for the manned & AI sentry turrets are the same both stating they are manned. The "gatling sentry turret" is the most op thing i've seen so far in this game, not sure why its 10x more powerful then the "sentry turret". Some other balance issue i see is that the cowboy hat and the duster is also very op, they give my characters 160F(lol) maximum tolerable temperature far exceeding any heat waves.
I once read "ColonistsCount + 0.4*TurretCount" as the math behind the raid strength and frequency.
I am wondering though... "TurretCount", is that a counter on autoturrets, or also manned turrets/mortar. If I have a square non-mountain base out in the open. I can get attacked from 4 sides. Would building 4 manned turrets on each side equate to ColonistCount + 0.4*16 or ColonistCount + 0.4*0 ?

Hello, this mod look amazing but i have a little problem, when i start a new colony one of my guys only wait he don't sleep, eat or anything else anymore, i use only this mod.
I try with Prepare carefully and without same bug for both, this happens for each colony and this bug seems to happens every time on the first guys in the create characters screen.
Edit : I have this message when i launch the game only with superior craft enabled.

Make sure you're using the correct version of SC. It appears you're using version 0703 and not 0704.
Nice this work great with v704, i think i download your mod just before you upload the v704, thanks.
Anyway we should find a way to make a framework so that any other mod could use SCA ressources if it's installed, that would be awsome for compatibilty issues and for gaming experience!
PS: sorry for offtopic but i got to point something out..

Not sure if this is a bug or if its meant to be like this but enemies don't shoot back through embrasures for me.
They will melee attack right in front of them while being shoot but won't shoot back like they can't even see my colonists. I looked at it in the xml code and its almost identical to the sandbags ???
Is there something in the def xml that makes something see through or not?

Not sure if this is same issue but in my game all of my pawn(that try to fire fight) freezed("Standing"), I used developer tools to create fire extinguisher and it solved for me.
Mod used :
Community library
CCL Light
all EDB Serise
Hospitality
MAI+
Medieval shield(btw this seems not working as intended, at least not against melee, not perfectly sure though..)
Misc. animals
Misc HIres
Power armor MkII
Tools for hauling
Refri' food storage
Blast door
Superior crafting
In that order.
Edit : Oh and when right clicking things sometimes extremely laggy, mostly when clicking pawn. Not sure this mod is problem.

Can we get a version without the prosthetics? It interferes with Ykara's EPOE.
(Artificial Bones and Biomatter don't cause issues)
Edit : Nvm
Suggestion: Make it possible to make art statues from glass.
doors, (at least for me. on a new colony and my old save) do not allow forbidding, which definitely makes fighting off warg spam annoying. running other mods (including EDB interface) but disabling only SC (v.704) makes forbidding come back (on a new colony, obviously) and when attempting to start a new colony with SC enabled it removes the ability to forbid doors again.
** also tested with just SC, doors are unable to be forbidden, no other mods enabled.
Bit more tested and pawns freeze only when they're holding weapon. I tested without any mod except SC so it's definitely not compatibility.
Right click lag issue is gone after I used completely new world and colony.
Also suggestion : It would be nice if door is buildable without selling wall first.
Edit : Seems only melee weapon cause problem.
Im also having the no-door-locks problem
Hi,
Thank you for the great mod! :)
Is there any place, where I can find info on what shields do?
Like,
(1) they simply protect from bullets?
(2) Also rockets and granades?
(3) Only from hostiles or from colonists too?
(4) What happens if gun fired from inside shield?
(5) 2 shield differ only by range and power (while functioning in same way)?
Also having the problem with not being able to forbid doors.
I can't forbid doors or build on top of walls.
Also, it appears pawns aren't getting thought bonuses from traits like sanguine.
And I can't tell colonists to prioritize receiving treatment.
And I'm not getting notifications about being out of resources when building things, but they disappear from the menu when you don't have any.
I'm running:
This
EDB Prepare Carefully
EDB Interface
Less Incident Trolling
Mending
Charge Cannon
More Planning

I think they both block bullets going in, but not out. they don't prevent hostiles from going inside the shield, though, so you have to be careful when arranging them. i think they also both can block shells, but I'm not quite sure about that. the CRAM shield can disable the avionics system of droppods, aka intercept them, and the SABRE shield can put out fires.
I think rockets and grenades are handled just like bullets.
If I am correct, he deliberately found a way to block the forbid feature, seeing as without it, it forces you to use the Set Allowed Area function. And I think the building on walls was done intentionally too, seeing as thats a code wrapping within the coding.

I see no real gameplay benefit of removing the forbid feature, but i guess its a design choice (if it was intentional anyhow), though its annoying that i now have to paint my entire base just so they don't run outside during a raid/manhunter pack or any other containment requirement, and quickly paint another area if say, i need them to stay out of a cold/hot room, etc. also the building over walls have always required you to remove the wall first in SC.
It does force you to react a little bit faster and pay more attention to what is going on. (The Forbid Issue) It causes you to have to pay attention to where your colonists are, and switch their available areas. Even within Vanilla, I never really used the forbid function, I always used the allowed areas. So, for me, it's no real hindrance.
Is there source code for this so I can update the assemblies? And post for everyone?
Update to 0712
Changes:
* You can no longer extract biomatter from a rotten corpse
Fixes:
* Fixed error when fighting fire with pawn who has a melee weapon equipped
* Fixed duplicate slave/pirate trader
* Doors now have the forbidden command added back
Thank you! ;D

The medical stuff also causes issues with EPOE. Separate download for that too would be very appreciated.
Just wanted to say "Thank you". Like - only that :D
as a suggestion, is there any chance you could add a "priority" system to crafting equipment? something that would let you say that you want to, for example, clear out a ton of bodies with an organ vat, instead of trying to craft some electronic chips, since you are missing only a few chips, but have a backlog of like 40 bodies from the last raid.

You can use allowed zones feature for that

I'd recommend a temporary suspension on the chips, or selecting a colonist and right clicking on the Organ Vat, Prioritize using it.
yeah, you can force them to do the work repeatedly but that makes you focus on them. which wastes time you could spend elsewhere, like building a new housing bunker, but if it was possible to not require the micromanagement (or as much) of the crafting stuffs it would be nice. if you increase the complexity of the crafting system, adding more resources, etc, you should not have to baby every step of the process. shouldn't the highest complexity item be the first thing to attempt to craft, then the subsequent components that are required to craft it. something that would make it check if it has the resources, if it doesn't have them, then it would go to the lower complexity tables, attempting to craft the materials (if there are bills for them) that are missing.
while its not a big deal most of the time, i realized i had one of my tables just sitting there idle for an extremely long time due to pawns finding other things more important to craft, than to craft a sword, or a gun, or other thing that i kinda wanted asap.
@mrofa pawns tend to get angry with you when you limit them to an area without food sources =p
Just select the whole base or your whole home area with that zone and unslect the interaction squares and benches you dont want him to use.
Better stuff = more complexity, if it would be other way around you would build power armors from stone chunks or snow :P

Better stuff = more complexity, if it would be other way around you would build power armors from stone chunks or snow :P
what i mean by more complex i mean crafted materials, power armor should be prioritized before a bill of its materials,
if said materials are available. and if those are not available (steel, plasteel, etc) they should then be crafted if a bill is there to facilitate. then it should repeat and check to see if the power armor (or other complex build) can be completed with available resources.
i always have do until (x) and its always higher than the required amount that i'm trying to use up in another bill, however i always end up not having the resources and they always prioritize making sand, or another very basic process.
so more or less a hierarchy of tables...... wow that sounds stupid.
Seemingly there's a bug or something in this latest version, or I'm stupid oO
I can't build the furnance and thus can't get metal bars.
I restarted and reinstalled several times. I've grindet to research almost everything to III or higher, but no furnance,...
Version is 0.11.857.
Also, I'm not able to research construction.
@Sempie
make sure you have superior crafting loading last in the mod order, the last mod to load overwrites any changes from any other mods you have loaded before it. if you have a mod that changes something after superior crafting loads, it will break it.
hope this helps you
Now I tried:
- complete clean rimworld 11b
- installed overhaul modpack as guide said, except SC mod
- copies SC mod into mod folder
-> same issue
After that, removed SC from mod-list ingame and undone that step afterwart.
Tried this with the steps as listed above, as well as simply after installing it as told by how-to-install.
=( So sad, with 11a I didn't had any problems, love this mod so much.
if i am not mistaken, overhaul has its own modified version of SC so that all the mods in the pack work together. if you are attempting to install .712 manually then you will most likely have conflicts since it doesn't have the changes overhaul adds.
Hello I have a problem.
My colonist had ''bad back". After operation , where i amputated spine, i wanted to install Bionic spine, but i haven't this option in operation menu.
did you do the operation to examine (or whatever its called, don't currently have one to check) and make the "bad back" actually be on the spine, and not on their torso?
Firstly, i press to "diagnose bad back".
Then i had option "amputate spine''.
And now i can't install Bionic spine (i haven't any options)
[attachment deleted due to age]
is it being carried by someone? or in a stockpile and unforbidden?
Bionic spine is in stockpile now
what mods are you running? another mod might have a conflict and cause the medical operations to not work for SC
this
(but i can use biomatter for different operations)

Hiho
I am a big fan of your mod. I rate it as neccesary for an enjoyable gameplay.
I have a suggestion for a few balance tweaks. (I did them in my own little modpack, that is only released to friends, becaus of feedback from them and playing it myself). Please consider them for a future Version.
1.) Please change the building mats of the simple defensive towers to 100 steel bars to make up for their shortcomings.
2.) Please change the damage of the shotgun towers to 30 to make up for their short range.
3.) Please change the rate of fire description of the minigun towers to 15 to match the real burst size as defined in the xml-files.
4.) Please change the accuracy of the Sniper towers to 50/95/95/95 to make up for their slow rate of fire.
5.) Please change the building mats of the hydroponic garden to 10/10/10 (down from 20/20/20, that's too expensive)
After that let me thank you again for a great mod for a great game. I really enjoy playing rimworld with your mod as base and a few other mods for the functions.

It's already too easy, dont need thoses tweaks, for me at last..
It's not about easy or not (theese things are adjusted with other options, like storytellers or event-defs) it's about the inner balance of a mod.
Hydrophonic is overpowered , you get massive growth boost and free sun light, the cost should be actually doubled or tripled.

only have a few minutes to type this before i head out to work, however.
1) the basic sentry turret (or manned turret?) has a much higher damage than any gun you have when you would consider using them. and can lay waste if placed properly. the costs of things is to prevent a small colony from just creating a wall of these and absolutely obliterating anything that shows up.
2) to me at least, manned and auto turrets are meant more as a backup or secondary damage source. sure, hiding a shotgun turret behind a wall to blast at something's back is extra damage, (and given inaccuracy, possibly a very dangerous threat to yourself) but it is not designed to be a game ending device. yes, its a shotgun, but game play overrides logic in this case. you can make a base with a ton of shotguns guarding the doors against everything and just win the game.
3) well yes, its a description, human error happens. you can look under the i tab and see the actual stats.
4) see #2
5) like mrofa said, they are self contained food spewing monsters. if you have power, you have food. that comes at a cost, and should not be a total growing zone replacement.
** This is my
OPINION and does
not reflect Abrexus or mrofa or their ideas. **

I dont know your playstyle, but in my games with SC (i play without savescumming like an ironman mode) i sparely use personal weapons and rely mostly on turrets behind embrasures for base defense. My pawns carry shotguns (for in base defense in case of suprise-drops) and one carrys a sniper rifle (for hunting and siege-situations). The gattling tower is a very powerfull mid- and close-range defense.
What you could do, and Abrexus can't really stop you, is simply change the values yourself, then you will realize how broken it I with your suggestions, and understand why they wouldn't make the mod better.
Oh, i already did that. And it's not more or less broken than before. The towers still trump everything you can carry, but i always thought, that was intended.
Only thing changed is, that the towers are now balanced with the other towers and the gattling tower is'nt the only viable choice.
The hydropod is debateable. At the point you can build lots of them with sufficient power you should not have any food problems left anyway.
Anyhow: I did not want to start a fight. I just wanted to suggest some changes i saw making a positive impact. No offense intended.
I had tried it, and it does have an impact, it makes it far more simple. Though, I play on Randy Random Extreme with the zombie mod as well.
I have a lot of mods installed so i'm not sure if this is your mod but if it is could you make it so the torches had an auto rearm option like traps do instead of having to manually place them down after they go out? Less of a chore to do, more reason to use them.

Download link doesn't work, any idea?
www.sendspace.com (the file hosting website Abrexus uses) seems to either be down, or having issues. just wait for them to come back up.
ok
the file host is back up, if anyone was waiting for it
I have to agree that the gattling turret seems to trump all others. The sniper turret might have its uses, but a sniper rifle is probably a better idea in general. The slightly shorter range of the gattling turret is well worth the sheer amount of lead it spews, and the shotgun turret just doesn't seem to do enough damage to justify the even shorter range. Standard turrets are simply pointless after the specials have been researched.
I have another question:
Is it right and planned, that all enemys attack my base in melee mode? Even the big gattling gun wielding mechanoids?
I tried to figure out why and i think it's because of the 0.9 fillbox of the embrasures. I still wonder, why the enemys do not use their ranged weapons to damage embrasures and walls?
Even at a lower fill percent (my embrasures are .75 iirc) the mechanoids just roll past being hammered. This did not occur prior to 11b. It might have been an unintentional AI bug introduced. I have no evidence other than they systematically slither over under fire towards an area that has less turret coverage.
As a side note the normally "good as dead" colonists with massive brain injuries were healed with a small smattering of biomatter, like a scar. I noticed in the def you had commented out some lines that would have defined an exclusive list of legal parts that would have prevented this. Related no doubt to "* Fix to allow scars to be healed on any body part". One can only dream of an age where politics could be solved on an outpatient basis.
The link doesn't work for me :(
how do I make electronic chips? I dont have a powered Crafting table in my Production tab. (also not present in god mode)

If i move SCcore to the bottom of the list, i get the crafting table. however, graphics get wonky,,, such as the MAI Recharge Station getting a white sandbag look
addendum:
if i change the mod order and move the SCA core to the bottom, put down the crafting table blueprint, then move it back to the top to preserve graphics, the table becomes a machining Table and gives errors in the description panel.

We need to implement a new acronym just for this, i'd propose TMM (2 much mods) 8)
I posted this several weeks ago about turrents being the most OP things i've ever seen, almost makes me want to go back to vanilla. The flamethrower makes things trivial as well, if you can make raids funnel to a 1x1 block where you have 2-3 flamethrowers standing on the other side its not even a game at that point.
And the turret base the mod "Misc" adds allows you to mount the flamethrower as a turret which puts the ridiculousness of the gatling gun in SC to shame. Flamethrower, gatling, & turret base + flamethrower all trivialize the game, they should be on par with the vanilla 3 shot burst gun turrent, not god-mode in comparison in burst, accuracy, and range.
Nice one was wondering if it will work with haplos mod :D
Anyways late game god mode is kinda the gray area, since strenght of raids incerase all the time, colonist should learn some effective ways to defend themself, but then again this ways of defending shouldnt be op but still semi effective, so it wont take the challange of the raids.
But this also depends on player play style, i mostly use them as a lure/mine so my snipers can do thier jobs, others can be all for static defense, then others can use just the overhelmong number of thier colonists or a mix of any of this ways, and prapobly other ways to. And this is when we get into that gray zone which make it very hard to think a workable solution for all.
Gatling requires no strategy, just place 3-4 of them and everything gets slaughtered, flamethrowers require a funnel, everything in the front of the funnel gets aoe stunned while being on fire, everything in the back of the funnel kill themselves with friendly fire, and this isn't even considering the fact that you can place "chunks" of stone at the funnel to snail the enemy movement, or even better yet pre-fire the flame throwers into the funnel setting the grounds on fire. Its very trivial with next to no effort, no way i can take on 100+ raids with this little effort in vanilla.
Of course there are other god-mode checkpoints you reach such as fully bionic 3 man crew with assault rifles that takes on ANY amount of enemies with movement speed of 8m/s and accuracy of 99% at ~34 range. But turrents are early game. As far as the bionics comment, i sure hope you can achieve this in vanilla, because i'd feel dirty playing with SC as it makes game too easy.
Superior crafting makes the game too easy? You've lost you mind. I've been playing with superior crafting since shortly after getting rimworld, and it adds much more depth to the game than vanilla has. The research tree actually makes sense, unlike Vanilla. I play with Randy Random on Extreme, and the Zombie Apocalypse mod, and that makes things a challenge for me.
I haven't found much issue with the turrets, because if you only have three colonists, even if you were to build full Gatling turrets, they will get by them and hit your colonists, causing them to no longer fire.
I play on Cassandra extreme (which is much harder then randy, http://i.imgur.com/ek8m5b3.jpg typical raid size of 100+, all get slaughtered) w. just this & Edb for UI. I didn't say anything about depth or research, they have nothing to do with the points i brought up. You also start with 3 colonists, not sure what number of colonists have to do with anything, gatlings have insane accuracy, so them hitting your colonists means you have colonists infront of the barrel thats your problem. If the pawn manning the turrents gets hit, simply tell him to get back to firing the turrent. Getting side-tracked here, let me re-instate my point since you completely missed it.
Turrents add firepower, god-mode(Cheating level) level firepower comparing to vanilla turrent.
QuoteTurrents add firepower, god-mode(Cheating level) level firepower comparing to vanilla turrent.
qft. But i think, the author of the addon saw this himself already. His first fix was to reduce burst size from 30 to 15, which is much better, but still. They are still op. Op to the other turrets and op to the game, as long as the 11b-bug with melee attacking mobs isnt fixed. After this bug is fixed, their short Range will be balanced by enemys using snipers etc.
QuoteHis first fix was to reduce burst size from 30 to 15, which is much better, but still.
I think I'm playing on v0704 the only difference i notice when reading the front page is you cannot longer extract biomatter from rotten corposes, where is the change listed for 30 to 15 burst nerf? Now im interested in updating.
Can it be that those embraced Walls (those you can shoot through) are some kind of "I win button"
Still new to playing the game in a modded version and I am currently testing this mod out (so far I am at lvl 3 of the different crafting tree lines only).
I built a small bunker completly surrounded with a door from those "shooty" walls and so far every single raid is well... free stuff.
The enemys dont shoot back against my colonists behind those walls. they just run around the bunker to attack some stuff far behind it in my base and my guys kill them all.
Not sure about those Rocket Launcher guys since so far they all died before they where in range (i make them a priority) maybe they shoot my bunker and might damage my guys but appart of that... nothing. I havent even build a single tower so far.

Are personal Shields changed in this mod?
It seems I can not wear an Armor West and a Personal Shield at the same time anymore (I am pretty sure I could in vanilla)
Not sure if Shields are really worth it now... yes you dont get shooting damage... but you take a lot more meele damage suddenly.
My visitors dont seem to leave and try to find some unknown location. I am using SC + SC misc + interface + Prepare carefully + darkness mods. Nothing else. Happens with both traders and visitors...
Gonna somehow have to kill these guys as they keep looting my fridge and never leavel :(

Der_Doodle, Try the hardcore mod pack. It has this plus Combat Realism which changes that, and while they're still good you can still be killed in them and targeted properly.

Gonna somehow have to kill these guys as they keep looting my fridge and never leavel :(
I had this issue with Misc full. I think if you use "Misc. - Vanilla enhanced", it doesn't happen though.

Oh nice thanks, will do!
Since it seems my earlier question got lost here it is again:
Does Superior Crafting Mod changes the way Personal Shields are handled? (since they cant be used in combination with a Tribal Cloth, Armor Vest or anything else that uses the middle clothing layer)
And is this a bug or cause of balancing reasons that now where you could craft shields and powerarmors your meele squad might be to invulnerable?
2nd Question (most likely I found a bug)
Is it by design that those Walls that have a build in power conduit do not get any HP upgrades when you research additional levels of construction? Cause this makes them basicly useless then. They cost the same materials as a normal wall + power cable.
3rd) Another bug?
At the beginning of a new game I can grow every possible plant in a growing zone not only the restricted list. Even without Agriculture I or Crafting 2 or medizin I can grow Xerigium, Cotton, Corn etc.

believe the conduit wall is that was because the conduit cant be blown out of it, if you lay a power conduit under a normal wall, it can still be destroyed. where as the conduit wall has to be completely destroyed before power loss.
as for the mod specific stuff, make sure superior crafting is the last thing you load, and try starting a new world with the mod enabled when its being generated (i'm sure it can inject itself, but why force it to?) or even just try to make a new colony on the same world.
Sc dont change how shields work
Thing with walls is prapobly a bug
Growing everything might be a conflict with another mod, did just tested and the stuff i can grow is limited.
I am pretty sure that I could use a Personal Shield and a Armored Vest in Vanilla...
With Superior Crafting atleast Personal Shields are blocking the middle clothing layer.
Sigh... I have to rip apart all my conduit walls now and go back to normal wall + power cable... those are nearly twice as stable.
And I have never seen anything destroying a Power Cable under a wall except the Overload ZZZzt Event.
But still that risk is better then loosing nearly a 3rd of the walls health for build in cables.
Edit:
I just rechecked in my Vanilla Colony without any mods it is definitly possible to use a Personal Shield and a Power Armor or Armor Vest.
In Superior Crafting it cant be done anymore.
I'm not a fan of conduit walls either but I can verify that explosives and fire both can and do on occasion damage conduits. I often end up using them on the interior side of a double thick perimeter wall, or inside the base as a matter of convenience. I noticed that in the defs both conduit and lighted walls use "walls" as the parent class instead of "scwalls" so I wonder if maybe swapping that might cause the coding to upgrade those as well. I'll try that next colony.
And yes, I can confirm that in the defs that SC personal shields occupy "middle" whereas in vanilla they occupy "accessory". In addition they are slightly weaker, recharge slightly slower, worth far less but include a craft recipe. I've never bothered to look to see which table (if any) can make them, since the raids inundate you with them.
The change is rather easy if you want to do it. Just go to Rimword/SC11Core/Defs/ThingDefs/Apparel_Shield.xml and replace the lines that read:
<layers>
<li>Middle</li>
</layers>
with
<layers>
<li>Accessory</li>
</layers>
Agree the growing everything from the start is likely a mod conflict.
Thanks will make those changes :)
Any idea wich of these mods migth interfere with superior craftinfs growing zone choices?
Edb mod order
Edb interface
Edb prepare carefully
Vein miner
Darkness (wich changes the ambient ligth levels only)
growing zone issue is not a new game but a new game after a new game - once i research everything then fail or fly off my next game has everything growable - if i delete everything and start over i cant grow "anything"
Yehh thats a bug, but it can be fixed easy just by restarting game client.

Dam... guess I have to be more picky when choosing whom to recruit and who not then. Just realised that I had about 7 Frail Colonists out of 40 when I finally reached Crafting IV in the hope to remove those with the Spine Replacement. Well :) for the next colony then :D

Yea, currently the best you can hope for is to find a colonist to replace them or try to mitigate the issue with full movement bionics (both legs and arms)

I take it this won't work with more mechcaniods?
It works fine with more mechs just have it after SC in your load order.

More or less since this isnt a coding issue, a placeholder bionic could be used just for Frail but its better to have a sound idea behind it instead of crappy PHs since the other bionics are self-explanatory.

Its possible right now....but the problem is there isn't enough ailments to facilitate the need for bionic organs (or more to the point, they happen so rarely its not even work bothering)
But I'm sure once Cancers and diseases are added, via vanilla or in the mod, then the need for bionic organs will come with, and hopefully a full body health system will have been finalized (we are only at Alpha 11)

Thats because currently, the heath system does nothing with damage mitigation in anyway, it would need a partial rewrite to call up armor methods. So
currently, no.
Eventually, yes.

Hey folks!
I've been trying out a new ice-sheet game with SC (latest), and while it's crazy fun so far, I just noticed something in an attack of about a dozen tribespeople, many of whom have ranged weapons.
They never fired a ranged attack through my embrasures. Just melee attacked them. This didn't match what happened in A10 when I played with SC, so I'm wondering if it's a bug, and, if so, if anyone's figured out a fix.
Sometimes rarely they shoot through them and hit with nearly each shot but yeah mostly enemys ignore shooting and just meele the walls
On a site note how did you manage SC on an icesheet? Since hydropots need mulch and glass i never survive that long
A combo of things:
1. Got comfy with cannibalism. Didn't really see any other way to keep food up.
2. Got lucky with a massive cavern that had some exposed soil (and stone and perma-ice, too) when I heated it. Naturally found this when I was mining into a mountain to make a base.
3. Wind power seemed the quickest way to get heaters up and running. Steel was not too hard to find.
Even then, only one of my original colonists is still alive, and she lost both arms to raids at various points. I've been lucky to grow enough that we're at the Chemlab/Organ Vat/Smithing table level of tech finally, but it's been pretty hard, even then.
The other-side-of-the-map evil ship drop didn't help any, either. Eeesh.
Ah Icesheet! Until we can use dead body as mulch, wood is perhaps the most important asset in the Icesheet.
1. Scout the map, look for a steel structure and deconstruct it for steel bar. will save you time to get that research table up and going.
2. Drag a huge growing are around the map to find a good patch of gravel for your farm, forget hydroponic. Gravel only have 60% grow but begger can't be chooser but keep the light and temp up as your plants are fragile.
3. Should not run low on stone and metal so trade, you'll never know when the trader return.
4. Compartmentalize your growing area so you won't lose all your crop when the wall break
5. [Exploit] Don't build wall. Stonewalls took tons of time to build so to have them quickly, lay down some blue prints and have your pawn deliver the resource to them, order the pawn manually so they deliver resource to all blueprints (they turn to building sites) when you see the roof formed, you now have a walless room with bitching insulation, build gradually when you have time (which you should have, plenty)
Is the link broken?

Organ vats regrows organs, not sure if it allows regrowth of body parts though. I might add that ability within my mod I am working on.
Not sure if this is intended or not (and I'm not reading through 73 pages to find out if it's been brought up before, so if it has, someone please enlighten me), but I've had to keep re-issuing orders for pawns to operate turrets over and over and over again if they so much as take a hit.
Pawns don't stop shooting with equipped ranged weapons, so it makes no sense for them to stop operating a turret without actually being knocked out.
He's not the only one to have noticed that but I noticed the same happens with the mountable vanilla mortar as well.
I've noticed this as well ever since Tynan overhauled the interrupt system with v11. Since vanilla does not include manned turrets other than the mortar (and that tends to be far behind defensive lines) it does make sense this would go mostly unnoticed.
Would it be possible to allow placement of doors and vents over walls? Also is the source code available somewhere?
The placement of doors and vents over walls was removed to save from the possibility of wasting resources, if I remember correctly. Abrexus contacted me recently about me play testing the new mod, but my internet has been down for a week and a half so I'm unsure what changes he has done since I last spoke to him.
Still would be nice to have if only during the blueprint stages.
For the embrasures can you use the textures from skully? or can you explain how to change it? I am not a huge fan of them no offence
Changing them is quite easy. Simply go to the textures folder within the mod file, copy over the image, and make sure the file name is the same as the mods embrasure image.
it works now
I miss the agave gel healing from the Alpha 6 version of this mod. :-[
Is it just me or do the advance prosthesis not work?
Why arnt my pawns prioritizing construction. If i have em set for just construction they wont do it and i have things i need to do, nothing is getting built unless i force them to do so. Please help
Having quite a few errors starting this mod up by itself, does this mod have an dependencies?
[attachment deleted due to age]
This mod is standalone and we recommend using v0712 on Alpha 11b or later
(I am currently running it on Alpha 11d with no issues)
Is Abrexus running this project? I had a question about the code and potentially using some of SC in a mod-pack (but altered) if possible.

Yeah, I'm using the v0712 Version with Alpha 11b. Though I have a friend who is using it also and he is running it without problems. I've Tried Re-downloading/re-extracting it in-case if it were corrupted and it's not the case. Additionally We're both running Windows 10. so I don't think it's the New O.S. Causing the problem. Anyways, thanks for the help.

Quote from: DaemonDeathAngel on August 07, 2015, 04:34:49 AM
The placement of doors and vents over walls was removed to save from the possibility of wasting resources, if I remember correctly.
So instead people have to manually deconstruct walls and expose the area to the outside, turning your freezer into a furnace, or vice versa.
The tiny amount of material lost from overwriting the wall is miniscule in comparison to the frustration caused from this design choice. This is why vanilla operates the way it does, and almost everyone converting over expects it to work the same. Hell, you can't even put lights onto a wall to convert them to lit walls, you need to deconstruct and reconstruct all over again, wasting time, and steel (if already having a conduit in it), in the process.
From an ease of use (and anti-frustration) perspective, this should be changed to vanilla function, along with the addition of lit walls, if possible.
Please keep updating this mod. It is amazing... :)
From peeking around the defs it seems that all those things (except lighted walls) do if fact have the right tags to be built over walls, but that oddly the mod has a second type of wall (displayed "wall" but def'd as "SCWall") that is actually what we are constructing. Maybe the game is coded specifically to only allow building over (defname) "walls" and the "scwalls" don't register? All the other walls are subclasses of the original "wall", but scwall inherits from buildingbase.
If I am correct, it can be fixed by simply changing the defname to "wall" but the effect would be to make the save unplayable as your base would be built out of now-undefined scwalls.
Hey guys... is anyone else having trouble installing advance prosthesis (and or plasteel dentures..) :(
P.S. no one in my colony has ears or noses because of this... its very odd :c

You seem to be correct.
Changing the def to Wall lets you place the objects over the walls.
Editing the save (via a text editor) and doing a replace all operation from 'SCWall' to 'Wall' lets you load the save and have everything functioning just fine.
Easy, simple, effective.
Now to find out how to make a light that can be put into walls so they become lit walls, like with conduit walls. That or just take the easy way out and let lit walls be built over normal walls..
Guess I'll be the first to start begging for it.... Alpha 12 pretty pleeeeaaaasssseeee........
Seriously RW is sooooooo lame without this mod now... Thanks for fkin ruining vanilla RW for me you jerks......
Can't wait to make an army of bionic rhinoceros 8)
Probably going to take a little while though.
Any news on the A12 release at all?
As to my knowledge, from speaking to Abrexus, "Superior Crafting" specifically, will not be updated, as he is doing a complete reqork of the entire mod, under a new name, with a completely different direction.
I guess it's time to find another pack of mods with some neat progression instead of just being a pile of mods mashed together. First TTM and now SC. What's the next one to be?

If this is true, that makes me a very sad little puppy. I like the current mod, and am having a hard time adjusting to vanilla for A12.
Anyway, let's hope the new (and maybe even better?) mod will be out soon!
Yep I keep trying to play A12 but finally said fk it and just went back to A11d. Now I'm working on killing errors in hopes of salvaging something from it for A12..... got rid of about 30 so far. But still a couple dozen to go yet. Hate fkin with other peoples mods ... soo much of a pain but this one is worth it haha

Well from the looks of it, it would almost be easier to start from scratch entirely. Soo freekin much has been touched on and changed in A12 that it's more or less starting over anyways. Loads of stupid little naming changes which honestly, I don't even see the actual need for. So yeah... f-u modders... enjoy the extra bs you gotta go through to update everything. Sure what it looks like to me anyways bahahahah. Granted they're all easy changes but there are craploads of them. Thank god for np++'s autoreplace function.
Note to self....... never EVER create a mod during alpha lolz... fk I donno how modders have the patience to update all the time. Seriously.... have some cookies ;D

I completely skipped A11 because of the idea of toxic fallout and such. A12 is taunting me with tamed geneered super wolves (wolves are awesome, see: eat a snickers holo (https://reallifeanime.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/screen-shot-2014-05-07-at-10-33-47-am.png)).
So I have no mods to play except from whichever alpha that TTM was still a thing and my save on that is like four years in and runs SO BAD.
You skipped an alpha because you didn't like a random event that may never even happen to you? I've never experienced a single toxic fallout event in my entire playtime and playtesting that was not triggered by devtools.
between alpha6 and probably the alpha 9 was not superior crafting has been with Alpha 6. Play could. So stop whining and wait for a new mod of Abrexus, yet we know that what he does is great.

I skipped A11 partially because of "yay, MORE events to try and kill me!" and partially because "meh". Burnt out somewhat on it.
Yeah. Rimworld just won't be the same until there's a "superior crafting" mod out for it. ^_^
As I said, just be patient and await the new release of "Superior Crafting" that is not necessarily going to be name "Superior Crafting" I am expecting a lot from his future mod, just based on what I have seen so far.
where can a person see about the development of the mod? Not rushing, just very curious as to what is in store :)
Was gonna ask the same thing cuzz I got lazy and gave up on tryin to salvage it haha.
Although ninefinger pretty much updated it all anyways for his mod UOM so you could always try that mod sense it's part of it if you're hard up. It's a good mod pack but it is a mod "pack". Loads of other mods along with it. Worth a shot. Heck I've been missing alot of great mods that he's got in there so glad I tried it. :)

This mod makes a lot of sense, if you look at it as a player wanting that "tuned"/"refined" feel of some key elements in game.
Its all well-rounded changes and complements offer a personal refinements view and if it connects with that feel with others, it was prob. starting from an individual's perspective of that refined xp he wanted for playing Rimworld.
Fame could come afterwards, or not at all :D

Very well said. I uses only a few mods and this one only gets my attention because of the additional build value and the constant need to upgrade. It is a very nice and refined mod.
any chance this will be update to v.12 anytime soon?
Eh only thing I will ever remotely care about fame/popularity wise is youtube/twitch
Also about alpha 12 read the last page
Just waiting on this to be updated to try out the new Rimworld patch. :D
Only wanted to say I love the mod, makes the game so much better in my opinion. Thank you for making this.
I liked playing with the superior crafting mod. I am looking forward to the new version abrexus is working on.
Does anyone know when will his new mod be released or perhaps when we can test it? Thanks.

This is a modified version of SCA11 that I made for myself to work with alpha 12.
There are some things that i couldn't make work as i'm NOT a modder or programmer the most obvious are healing scars, the terrafoming pump, the increase in wall strength from research, the various training dummy types and the shield generators. There maybe other things i've missed if so sorry. mention them and if i can ill fix.
I do NOT take any credit for this mod and apologize to the author if this annoys him in any way and ill take it down.

Attribution was given, the derivative work is given for free, and is provided without a license. That seems to fulfil the legal requirements (well perhaps there should actually be a license, but that seems a bit over the top). As for common decency, I'ld say thardy01 has done nothing wrong - he clearly states it's a temporary fix to allow people to use some parts of the original mod and that he'll take it down if/when abrexus requests.
I'ld rather this kind of stuff was posted in this thread, as opposed to being updated only in a bloated modpack, or 'released' as a new mod. As for your attitude, unless you've spoken to Abrexus and you're just conveying his opinion, I'ld say you're being overly hostile. If this is actually Abrexus' opinion, he needs to change license.
For me, this allows me a small fix while I wait for Abrexus' upcoming work, which will undoubtedly be great.
TLDR; calm down, there's no reason to get so upset.

So, the steam generator requires a hopper with logs instead of kindling for some reason. The hoppers don't accept logs.

Thats because its a custom building he made that I think is tied to his dll which i have no clue as to how to modify. So id be surprised if the steam generator does anything because i just changed the thingClass on it so the game would load. I didn't mention it in my earlier post because I forgot. I'll see if I can find a better work around but I doubt it. Hopefully Abrexus will finish his new mod soon.
^ I think a quick XML edit would allow the hopper to accept logs just fine.
So will there be a version compatible with Alpha 12D ? I love this mod... this and EdB. These 2 should be implemented in the vanilla...
It seems like no one chooses to read previous pages...

Nope, no-one does and Abrexus hasn't made a post in the page or page before of the average person's "Where's A12 update?" so people just take it to be ded.
I have made more than four posts on his behalf, as I have spoken to him multiple times concerning SC and his new mod. If you look at the previous page you will see the posts.

But, not to be rude, that is just hearsay. As far as I can tell Superior crafting is abandoned and dead. There are no statements from the author regarding any new mod, or updating this mod I can find.
Which for me, sucks, as I enjoyed this mod.
I believe Abrexus did make a post on the matter but it is quite a few pages back now.
Only a few people knows that there is a new ongoing project...
Now, people also have lifes and matters to tend to.
if you consider people have these previous things, are able to plan on doing stuff, work with others contributors, foresaw a stability period with A13 not in the scope before 6 months and maybe that would help smooth your thoughts about a new mod.
Visibility again, is probably not that important right now...
As to a migrated A12 SC, nobody but Abrexus can say...
::)
Can we have some sort of idea of how much time is needed to finish the new mod (a week, many weeks, months?) or simply know if it's at it's early stage or well in progress ?
Superior crafting was awesome. I hope I can see it reborn better than ever soon !
That's a tall order though. The only person who would know that would be Abrexus and there's a good possibility that even he doesn't know.
It depends on how far into it he is and how much experience he has with projects like these. Add to that the idea that the new version's supposed to be a different mod and not just an update on the old Superior Crafting (I think, tell me if I'm wrong there). So then it shifts over to the question of how long would it take to create a new mod.
Last I spoke to him was release day of A12 and he said that the new mod soul begin being worked on, I haven't been able to Skype him lately due to internet and not having it. He did however give me permission to update and release any parts of SC that I wanted to take the Tim to fix. Perhaps I will work on that.
As I said though, Abrexus did tell me SC likely would not be updated and that the "new mod" soul take its place, as there soul be more ability to expand on specific aspects.
You do know, you can just use ultimate overhaul mod which has SC in it for A12.

I just realized how terrible my phone makes my spelling... But yeah, you could do what Muramas said. Though I'm planning to update and release pieces at a time, as well.
I need this... But I can't get it from SK because of the large file size; and my tiny internet speed. x.x
I'm slowly working on updating bits at a time, though I'm still adjusting to my new job, so time I scarce. Once I have a suitable amount updated I'll post them. It will, however, be in pieces, that way you can choose what you want to use.

Thank you, for all the Hard work!
As I've been working on a large mod pack that may or may not ever get finished ... I have reworked a lot of Superior Crafting to work again in alpha 12. No this isn't SA as you know it. Its just all the stuff minus a few things that require an update .dll file. It's also a work in progress so there still maybe a few weird bugs here and there. It's NOT designed as the original is. The research is different for my mod pack but this is the base and you will find MOST of the Crafting stuff you love :)
All credit for the original design of art work and coding goes to Abrexus and I hope that his new project is as great as his last.

You mind if I take a look at what exactly you had to change that way I have a general idea of what to watch for? I'm planning on releasing the update so as you can use all of the parts the same way superior crafting was, only it'll be sections.

Oh man - without it I realise that Superior Crafting was the only thing keeping me playing. Thanks to those who have tweaked it for a12 but they just aint the same. Come back Abrexus! We love your work!
Ditto! I'm having a ton of fun with Combat Realism, but combining it with Abrexus crafting approach would be amazing!
Yes, would like to try that myself as well. Both good in concepts and realizations
I have used SC in all the latest version and i cant play without it. this is definitely my favorite mod.
i almost think i would donate i someone could get it for A12 too, it would be SO awesome to use it with the animal taming mechanic.

So... any info on this mod, or the 'Secret' one that is being worked on?
:D im just posting because of posts i do love this mod i hope to see it picked back up.
Here is another release for SA from me. It's about 90-95% the original now. With just three things missing from the original :
The Growing is not hidden behind research.
Healing scars has been removed.
Training tools has been removed.
Mainly because I didn't want to mess with stuff inside the Dll.
Most everything else is working now and should be in the right spots with updates to a12.
I am just one person there's probably bugs here and there. But I did take a colony from start to blast off building everything along the way...
I take no credit for this updated mod, only know that we miss you Abrexus. And hope your new project out shines this one!

I'll give it a go. Abrexus' SC is easily the most entertaining Rimworld experience. Thanks for all the work you have done to make it compatible with A12.

If you want I can look into it, I'm experienced with C# but inexperienced with
how exactly modding works with this game... Though something like this is exactly what I was looking for and I'd really like Scar removal if possible and this seems to be the only mod that does that. I can decompile the DLL and modify/update it if required. Just tell me what ya need and I'll see about getting it updated if nothing has changed much. I really wish Documentation was better for the API side of things with C# modding.

Hm, alright, I wonder what I did wrong. I even used a fresh install of Rimworld.
/edit: And I found out the problem. I'm a moron. :o I had researched Crafting I and Construction I, but not Power I, which is required for level 2. Sorry for all the hastle.
First off, love this mod.
Also, I'm sure this as been asked but when will you be updating to A12? Was looking forward to using this with some other mods but didn't notice till today your mod is still at A11.
No rush tho. :D

The mod maker is working on a different, secret mod. So its up to whoever wants to update this. A couple people are working on it now, if you read back, someone has done a 95% complete update to A12.
The downloads on the first page do not work,they create errors with the current version.Thought it was available being up on the list again really like this one.Misleading because says work for 11 and after.

I don't know if it's on my side but the bionics table and the option to make advanced prosthetics is missing, good job though 8)
Bionics should have unlocked with Crafting IV and earlier adv prosthetics are at the smithing table
You'll do for now.
Anyone having problems getting the turrets to fire at anything?
I tried both the manned and AI turrets. They do not ever fire at anything... When manually asigning targets they track hostiles, but never shoot.
Could it be b/c i am running it with combat realism + defence?

Not a problem for me but I do not run combat realism nor defence.
Anyone fiddling with this anymore, so we can get Healing Scars back?
Thinking about reinstalling previous version of the game so I can run a full version of this mod. Simply not fun to play without this mod :(
I wanted to try this mod, but my security settings consider the download a virus/trojan or something. any suggestions?
Just ignore it? It's not a virus. Alot of stuff like this gives false positives
it's due to how mods work. mods basically announce their intent to modify something. and anti-virus systems are super wary about things being modified.
Any news on if the DLL for scar is in progress or complete?

Very unofficical version, and since none of the DLL's were updated, it does not mesh well with the game.
There are 3 possibilities:
1. He is working on a new mod but he is just not looking into the forums anymore
2. He stopped working on anything
3. Tynan hired him and we get a fully integrated Superior Crafting in A13 (that would be cool right)
Does anyone know if the core tech tree is still supposed to remain ? If not, how to remove it?
Thanks to the guy that uploaded the download for the A12 friendly version. Its a shame that the OP isn't around right now but it still works just fine. Only problem i have with it is that the concrete and paved floor use metal instead of sand like in the earlier versions of the mod but its a minor issue. Cheers.
So I am trying this mod out and I got this thing where it tells me unchoosen material lets say for conduit. When I click on it everything sort of disapears "The menus and everything all I can see is like a cinematic of the game" I have to hit , to get out of it. What am I missing here I need to run conduit.
is this mod going to be made for A12
why not A12? I NEED IT.

The author went to work on another project, and has not been herd from since.
Also, Both SK hardcore, and the defunct Ultimate are both built upon SC. So is the new Mod Variety Pack.
Modders provide these mods out of their spare time, and because they enjoy doing it.
I'm using that update that somebody made for 12D and I'm having some issues with security. I am unable to build automatic turrets after researching them-- They don't show up in the security tab. This is a pretty big deal in terms of progression in the game because there is only so long my 7 colonists are going to be able to take down like 40 tribals. Anybody know why this may be?
Hi,
I'm having trouble with the electronics factory while trying to make Microchips integrated circuits.
It seems to eat up all my electronic components without delivering any Microchips back.
The building works perfectly well when the resource is set to Integrated circuits though.
I would appreciate some help there.
Thanks for your time.
This does not work with 12d?

wrong thread?
I miss the healing pods from A6!!! Being instantly healed was amazing...
Anyone knows anything about the new project? (A sneak peak or something would ease the waiting... :'()
A dear, it is too bad, that exactly this mod is not available for alpha 12.

Personal experience states that he has a really short fuse and a long simmer (I was one of the first streamers he added for showcase (back in A9) and he promptly removed me after I said something apparently offensive. To this day, I have no clue wtf I said and I apologize either way.)
Hopefully he returns as this mod has too much quality to just let die.
I am back from the nether....stay tuned....something big is about to happen!
The Grand Master hath returned and comes baring a scheme. This will be interesting~

Very nice, i was waiting this moment for months...
Very excited for it Abrexus! Hope it can be made compatible with A13 soon after, too, otherwise I'll be inclined to stick with A12!

Grab your helmets and rifles boys we got to protect the master!
Glad to hear you're back in action!
Looking forward to what comes! At the moment I have to choose between Alpha 12 or Superior Crafting which makes me sad.
Hnnng. If this updates I am immediately starting a new colony. I miss this mod so much. :'(
Nice! Now I can play rimworld again!
Quote*note* this is for Rimworld alpha 11b and later ONLY.
Lies. The mod doesn't work with a12D.
Dat tease tho. ;)
Maybe he worked on A13 :D
I talk to Abrexus on a fairly regular basis in my stream, and talked to him about this project, if he wants you all to know what's going on, he'll tell you all. Just wanted to say that I have personally spoken to him about it.

Pics or did'nt happen
Well, I don't have pics, but I have multiple people who witnessed the conversations. That's well enough evidence lol
Any news on this for a13? Just wondering what everyone uses as an alternative to superior crafting? I'm still at alpha 11 so..

You should read the pages before your postings.
The author is working on a new project.
I'm not sure how you can say that with authority from "I am back from the nether....stay tuned....something big is about to happen!" That could mean a new mod sure, but it also could mean its being reworked for the new alpha.
would it be possible to make a seperate splinter mod, just for the nuclear power plant?
try this :)

ADSPAM!!!!
Just kiddin, noice mod tho <3
any news, breakthroughs, or updates?
will this mod be updated again?
Im pretty sure this mod will be updated by someone. I hope!
Will there be a Alpha 13 version becoming out if so will it be soon?
No and no. Move on with your life and play the game without Superior Crafting.
I havent played with this mod, but its the same in Hardcore sk's research.
Yep, that was stated at the top of this page. Though if someone's too lazy to read the actual thread, they don't deserve that information.

any new progress?
any new about the update??
The necro is real with this thread...
he said something big coming but 4 month later still nothing and he didn't said anything during this time too that is the most strange, it should be cool to have some news about his project or just know if he still working on.... i'am waiting from A11 to play back rimworld because i don't like without this mod, well i think i will have to wait more ^^
i hope we will soon have any news from Abrexus.

Didn't this get mostly enveloped within Hardcore SK? If so, you can just play this using A12 (still being developed for A13 which I believe you can get the beta of on github). Unless of course there are other parts of Hardcore SK you don't care for.
Having said that, I am curious as to whether the OP still has the project he mentioned a couple months ago in progress?
yes i see the mod is updated in the modpack hardcore SK, look cool but they re so many mod i don't want i was using the Ultimate Overhaul Modpack and i can't get all the fun i had with than the other modpack and i think the hardcore SK just have too much mod and should remove some of them^^ so i'm just waiting this mod to be updated and download all the mod i want without have to download a modpack to play
Any chance for us to see A14 compatible version?
Thanks
still no news i think it's lost......
I shall name you master in necromantics, congrats!
Sorry for the necro, but relevant....
A modder on Steam has taken up the mantle and has been working on updating this mod for the last couple months. I have been testing it for most of that time and it is in really good shape. Still getting some small updates every few weeks, but very, very, playable. Author does still have it listed as a "Test" version though, so if that is problem, be warned ;)
Here is a link to the Steam version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1279138912
The author does give credit back to this thread and the original author, so I thought I'd do a little plug for him/her here. Not to mention of course those who would be interested but don't really browse the Steam workshop often.

Yep, think I posted in KK's thread. Not sure how far he ever got with that project. Hope we haven't lost him for good from these forums!
This current project is probably close to 100% if not all the way. Think it is mostly small bugs and balances being fixed at this point.
As far as a github or other release. I asked the modder if they planned to release there or somewhere else, but don't recall them answering, it is very possible they missed that question. I'll ask it again for sure at some point.
we will see a B18 update for the no-steam users?
