Hey y'all,
This is just a simple patch (anyone could make it, really) for Gaesatae's and JuliaEllie's great mods Priority Haul and Vein Miner, respectively.
While this patch is extremely simple, some people may not know where to go/what to do to get the two mods to work show up in the designators tab.
Note, this does NOT include either of the two mods, for those go here:
Priority Haul (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9328.0) by Gaesatae
Vein Miner (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9616.0) by JuliaEllie
I take no credit for anything associated with either of the two mods. This mod is just a simple menu patch.
Load More Designators *after* Vein Miner and Priority Haul.
100% compatible with Alpha 8 and Alpha 9. Best OOB experience to-date! etc.

So... what does this mod do exactly? What does it do?

This mod is just a simple menu patch.
Yes, without any alteration, any mods which alter the designators tab ("Orders") will block each other and the last one loaded will show.
This means that Vein Miner will block Haul Priority and Haul Priority will block Vein Miner. The mods aren't incompatible, they just lack each others menu, hence this small patch.
You could easily do this on your own and some people probably did in some form on their own. This is for people want both but don't know how to do it.
"Updated" to Alpha 9.
Kid Tested. Mother Approved. (Not of this product, however.)
So wheres the patch?
derp?
See the first post.
"* More Designators.7z (0.75 kB - downloaded somenumberof times.)"
Ok to ask the dumb question, how do you get this to work? Is it a mod or replacing a file somewhere in the mods?
i think he not work..
Need fix

Easy and intended: Install it exactly like a mod *after* you install Haul Priority AND Vein Miner so that More Designators is loaded AFTER those two. I recommend using either EdBModOrder and/or RW Launcher.
Harder and just as workable: Copy the one real file which More Designators provides, replacing the same file in either (not both) Haul Priority or Vein Miner, which ever is *last* in your load order. Delete more Designators.
Since this is a menu PATCH, it MUST be loaded AFTER the mods it's patching. Common sense? Simple logic? How is this even coming up?
There is nothing wrong with this mod patch! It works for Alpha 8 and Alpha 9. Period.
Given that it is new users on the forums who are having "issues," I would suggest that said new users simply haven't done the steps required to resolve their own issues, namely, read forum stickies, read the game wikis, read the help and troubleshooting forums, common sense.
The About.xml still refers to Alpha 8.
That's because there was no actual change needed for Alpha 9 so I didn't reupload to change the about.xml to say, "Alpha 9." Rest assured, it works in Alpha 8 and 9.
Having problems between vein miner and priority haul. If i load them both in different orders, they both conflict each other in some way. If i load vein miner first then vein miner will show and vice versa with priority haul. So i can only choose one of these during game play.
Got it to work. Just replaced the Designations file in the 2nd of the two mods that was loading. Thanks for putting this together. You know instead of knocking us newbies to the forums for asking questions, maybe take it as a good thing that we felt it worth making our first posts in your thread. It is a pretty easy explanation for how to fix, instead of criticizing folks for not reading whatever else you think they should have read or know.

Shouldn't be necessary, but that is how I originally got them to show up together for myself. As a result, I created a stand-alone patch (oxymoron?).

Well, I enjoy the game and the mods, I am just trying to give back in some small way.

Those statements amount to "too lazy to self diagnose." I understand that people are new to things, everyone was a first timer too. But, the major distinction between people who stay as "newbs" and those who advance is taking the first steps to try to fix it yourself. ie, "shit, did *I* not do something right in the process," vs going straight to the forum to blast, "I can't get your shit to work." And yes, it is fairly simple to fix the problem. Glad you took the time to actually try for yourself. Although simply making sure that More Designators is loaded after the mods it's patching (makes sense, can't patch what hasn't been loaded) solves 100% of the problems and avoids the whole facepalm issue.

Unless this is your first day on the internet, you already know you should read stickies and do some research. In fact, 9 in 10 forums, the first stickied post usually states exactly that, "rtfm," although, usually worded a little more flowery.
I have noticed that This mod gets cancelled out from the menues while priorityhaul is active
Make sure your load order looks like this:
Priorityhaul
VeinMiner
More Designators
Or like this:
VeinMiner
Priorityhaul
More Designators
Mine is the latter but the former should work too.
The important part is that More Designators is loaded *after* the other two, otherwise ... derp ...

I feel sorry for you man... you keep having to answer the same question over and over because people refuse to read...
Praise!
I used it in A9.
Will you update it for A10? :D
As far as I can tell, there is no update needed for A10. This should work just fine for A8, A9 and A10. The only caveat to that being that Haul Priority hasn't been updated yet.
