Poll
Question:
Should Steam Workshop Mods have a separate entries for each Alpha Release or a single entry that gets updated?
Option 1: After the Official Release update the existing Entry of mods to the new release
votes: 47
Option 2: Create a new Mod Entry for each Alpha
votes: 32
Poll Question
How would people prefer I handle the New Alphas on Steam?
After the Official Release update the existing Entry of mods to the new release as I have been doing previously.
Or Create a new Mod Entry for each Alpha.
I thought about it and I dont have a strong preference right now, so I figured I would put up the poll and see what everyone prefers.
So feel free to comment and vote in the Poll.
Enhanced Development
This is a continuation of my previous mod from A12. Rather than a single mod with multiple parts I have split them up into separate mods as much as possible.Please let me know if you think something could be changed or is unbalanced.

ED-Shields:
(http://i.imgur.com/cg28SYQ.png)
This mod allows you to place shield generators.
They are expensive and power hungry but can really strengthen your defences.
The shields will stop projectiles that try to enter it, but allow weapons to be fired out.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-Shields/releases
Note that the Current Release is called ED-ShieldsBasic. ED-Shields Is a work in progress / planned rewrite. ED-ShieldsBasic contains all the functionality from previous versions.
ED-MoreVanillaTurrets:
(http://i.imgur.com/jDrJb7D.png)
Based on the Origional "More Vanilla Turrets" by Marnador.
Original: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9521.0
A mod that adds more turret variations with the attempt to keep their vanilla art style.
Currently this is almost exactly the same as the A12 version by Marnador.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-MoreVanillaTurrets/releases
ED-Embrasures:
(http://i.imgur.com/oDl46LZ.png)
Adds embrasures for that can be shot through, while blocking passage.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-Embrasures/releases
ED-LaserDrill:
(http://i.imgur.com/EBlsQX4.png)
Adds a Laser Drill that allows the creation of new steam vents, and a Laser laserFill that allows you to remove unwanted steam vents.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-LaserDrill/releases
ED-ClosableVent:
Modified the existing Vent System by allowing the Vents to be closed.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-ClosableVent/releases
Patches:
Better Vents (A13):
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-ClosableVent-BetterVents/releases
ED-PoweredVent:
Adds a Vent System that allows you to Equalise the temperature between two Rooms.
Uses a modified cooler graphic, does not matter what direction it is placed. Power it on to equalise the temperature between two rooms, power it off to keep the temperature separate. Made out of Stuff, has the same health as a wall made from that stuff. Except for the power switch none of the buttons will do anything.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-PoweredVent/releases
Patches:
Better Vents (A13)::
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-PoweredVents-BetterVents/releases
ReinforcedStuff:
(http://i.imgur.com/dBmFyTh.png)
Adds a Reinforced version of some Stuff. This allows for stronger constructions. Reinforced stuff has 10x the hitpoints but at 5x build time. Reinforced Stuff is made from 10 Normal Stuff in a Molecular Reinforcement Compressor. Currently Reinforced Stuff can be made from Steel, Plasteel, Wood and Stone.
While this does not Require the ED-AutoLoader mod, I find it helpful and looks better than the Molecular Reinforcement Compressor taking the resources from the ground.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-ReinforcedStuff/releases
AutoLoader:
(http://i.imgur.com/SGPl5He.png)
This Mod adds a building called an Autoloader that can be used to supply things to certain buildings. If a building in a mod can use it then it should be listed in the description of that mod.
This is functionally identical to a Hopper in the base game, but accepts a wider variety of resources without cluttering the stock Hopper or causing incompatibilities with other mods.
This will not do anything by itself, but is intended as a helper for other mods.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-AutoLoader/releases
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=722084058
Plant24H:
The module changes the plants to grow 24 Hours a day. In the base game plants will rest at night time and stop growing, regardless of the light levels. This removed that restriction so plants will keep growing, if all the other conditions such as light are still met, allowing your sunlamps to effectively increase the growing speed.
Required CCL
ED-Plant24H from 02.00.00 onward is a Complete Rewrite of the mod. Now requires CCL due to use of Detours.
* Should no longer require Compatibility patches to work with modded plants.
* Delete the old version of the mod and any existing Compatibility patches as these will now cause Errors.
* This will not be save compatible with the 01.00.00 version of the mod.
From Version 04.00.00 onward Harmony is used, this is included in the download.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-Plant24H/releases
ReverseCycleCooler:
This module changes the cooler to have a rotate option and be able to warm a room.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-ReverseCycleCooler/releases
Patches:
Better Coolers (A13):
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-ReverseCycleCooler-BetterCoolers/releases
OmniGel:
This mod allows you to have a renewable source of various materials.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-OmniGel/releases
Moat:
Allows you to creats a moat that can be used to slow People and Creatures.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-Moat/releases
SubspaceTransponder:
Allows creation of a Device for contacting passing ships at a distance and guiding them to your colony.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-SubspaceTransponder/releases
Stargate:
The Stargate system allows you to transport materials over the great distances between colonies.
ED-Autoloader is supported to more easily load resources.
WARNING: This mod uses the Rimworld Base Save Functionality in ways that it was never designed to support, mainly saving specific things into a separate file instead of saving everything on the map to one file at once. Because of this there may be adverse effects. The main one that I have found is that after traveling through the Stargate Social opinions relating to that colonist will be lost, they will effectively be meeting everyone for the first time again. At this time I do not know of a practical way to resolve this issue.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-Stargate/releases
PersonalNanoShields:
This module adds an alternate version of Personal Shields into the game. These shields function differently to the base game in that they require additional infrastructure, they are limited in the amount of charge that they can store and need to return to base to recharge. The advantage that these have is that they block both incoming Melee and Ranged attacks while still allowing the user to deploy ranged weapons.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-PersonalNanoShields/releases
PersonalAnimalShields:
This allows Personal Nano Shields to be added to animals.
Requires: ED-PersonalNanoShields
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-PersonalAnimalShields/releases
ED-PowerCells:
Adds Power Cell Charging / Discharging.
Power cells are created at the PowerCell Creation Station from 2 Components.
Power Cells are then Placed Next to a PowerCellStation. This station can be switched between 2 modes, Charging or Discharging.
Charging mode will take an adjacent Discharged Power Cell and turn it into a Charged Power Cell, while consuming power.
Discharging mode will take an adjacent Charged Power Cell and turn it into a Discharged Power Cell, while producing power.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-PowerCells/releases
ED-TurretControl:
Allows Commands for Force Attack to be given to Turrets.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-TurretControl/releases
ED-SafeTraps:
This mods modifies traps so that they will no longer be triggered by colonists.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-SafeTraps/releases
ED-CheatReactor:
Adds a Reactor that produces a lot of Power, is Built Instantly and for Free.
It goes without saying that this is in no way balanced and should only be used for testing or cheating.
I know that there is a debug power option in the menu, but I find this more helpful for testing some things.
Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-CheatReactor/releases
ED-PhotoDay:
Allows you to set a Reminder every X Hours to take a Photo of your base, alternatively it can silently take a photo whatever you are viewing at the time.

Thanks for the update :)
yay! :D
YES! MUH LASER DRILLS!
And more turrets back! Yes! Blessed be to you Jaxxa.
I'm going to give the laser drill mod a try. I really like that idea, and it fits into the RP that I'm doing with my colonists. Thank you for this idea/mod and all the hard work you have put into it.
Glad to see people are interested.
Added a few more mods.
Nice to have these updated and working again.
Is the laser drill supposed to generate 1200 power? I thought it used to drain power instead. Would make sense either way I guess, it does eat 100 uranium.
Thanks.
Yeah the drill generating power is a bug, looks like I am missing a "-" sign somewhere. :)
I've been using ED shield for the new colony. But when I built it, the shield didn't seem to appear or constructed. And when I start the game it appears something like "shield has null class"

Thanks.

Actually it is an indication of an excess "-", since power is measured in a kind of backwards fashion where consumption is positive and generation is negative.
Updated Laser drill to fix power usage.
Added plant24h
thank you for updating the vanilla turrets mod!
Awesome !!!!!! I couldn't play without this mod :) thank you so much for taking the time to update it. Quick question though, as written in the description its "Currently this is almost exactly the same as the A12 version by Marnador." Does that mean another update is coming up ? or is it potentially unstable ?. Anyways, THANKS ! :)
Just had a look through your mod list, I'm gonna try them all ! Modders like you are enhancing the gameplay (and our fun!) in such a way, I don't even have the words to describe it. But please accept, Sir, my deepest sympathies for the great work you're doing here :)
Loved using the Stargate in A12, but I don't see any mention of it here. Any plans on it in the current/future versions?

Now that I have split it up from having a single mod I am putting them up one by one.
Yes Stargate should be coming soon, depending on when I have time and how testing goes, I am 95% certain it will be up within the week.
Also the Stargate files should now be stored with your saves (including if you override it) and not with the game executable.

I just wanted to say I love your mods. Can't wait for stargate and omnigel. Not impatient though, well-using what you've put up so far.
Keep up the good work!
Wooh been waiting for these mods. :D
Glad you like them :)
Good news and Bad news about the Stargate.
Good news is that it should be Released Tonight / Tomorrow. Bad news is that it looks to not play nice with the new Social Relationships system, they are lost after travelling through the Gate, and with how the saves are working I dont know that it is fixable.
Added new Mods.
I just installed the Moat mod, and it works well. Thank you very much! I have been waiting for something to come out that I could use to slow down incoming raiders besides sandbags.
I have just one comment about the mod though. The texture for it is kind of weird. I used it to fill in the area inside my killbox and it looks strange because the corners where tiles come together do not touch. There is a gap between the tiles. If it looked more like the vanilla shallow water texture that would look a lot better in my opinion.
Anyway, just a bit of feedback, you can do with it what you will! I'll keep using it regardless. Thanks again!
I don't suppose you could put all of this into 1 mod that you update as you update the others? It's a bit annoying to both clutter my mod screen and download all these things. :O that said cool mods!

I see your point, but I don't use all of these mods so I like having them separated out. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm also sure you aren't the only one who thought they should all be together too though! It's completely up to the author, but my opinion would be to keep them separate.
I'm saying to have seperate AND together, though. Update each individually, but also the pack.
thanks for the moats

Were you able to get it fixed?
I've noticed that shots at targets within the Shield hit the shield itself. Sometimes shots technically going out of the shield also hit the shield somehow.
EDIT: Taking a closer look, aiming in the general direction of the center of the shield while a sandbag is in the way or something seems to be the cause.
Just wanted to mention your original post links Omnigel twice, where one should be the transponder :)

Yes, you will need to make certain that plant24h is loaded before the other mod in the load order and then in the XML of each plant replace
<thingClass>Plant</thingClass> with
<thingClass>Enhanced_Development.Plants24H.Plant</thingClass>This will change plants in existing maps but should change new plants on existing maps.
is the Autoloader able to work whit regular mortar? because i can't make it work whit it, if its not suppose, ok, if not, i have a mod conflicting or its bugged.

Well here, I have Keuneke attacking a sandbag indicated by the white dot. The light around him is the flash from him firing the gun. The only result however, was that the shield took the hit and lost energy.
(http://puu.sh/otvFC/7d2c1d2d81.jpg)
Here's another image, this time closer to the center of the shield. The shield still took the hit.
(http://puu.sh/otvJ7/805241a61e.jpg)
And another, except no sandbag in the way. Shield took the hit again.
(http://puu.sh/otvLZ/dbd2310dc4.jpg)
Here, I have him attacking the limestone wall outside the shield, which works fine.
I also noticed that if Block Direct is disabled, it works... but that lets in shots from outside the shield too, so yeah. Toggling Block Indirect doesn't change anything either.
Admittedly, this means I don't have to worry about friendly fire when melee attackers come in. In the same way I can avoid friendly fire by not giving them weapons in the first place. :P
Thanks for these mods Jaxxa they are truly great, most of them should be core game stuff, 24 hour plants, omnigel, to name some. Having zero way to be self sufficient on a map kills the base game.
i am getting an error when i try to load the Subspace Transponder in A13. The in game console spits red errors lines at me when i activate the mod.
I noticed something interesting about the subspace transponder: once its fully charged, and you still turn power toggle off, you can instaspam the call ship without waiting for the recharge. it goes transmiting 0, than a ship pops up, and the transponder remains fully charged with no downtime. Since if you have power toggle on theres a countdown and you have to recharge this didint seem intentional.
I also really like your mods btw. Very functional without normally breaking the game too much.
Also any chance of the plant-24 mod getting a vegtable garden patch?

is the Autoloader able to work whit regular mortar? because i can't make it work whit it, if its not suppose, ok, if not, i have a mod conflicting or its bugged.
No it does not work with the regular mortar. I might make somthing later to make it work with it, and it used to before turret ammo was a thing in the base game.

Thanks for the screenshots, I can replicate the bug now. The edge of the shield is a bit approximate so it can look like you are just inside the shield but it still blocks it like in the first screenshot, but the other a bugs that I will fix soon.

Thanks for these mods Jaxxa they are truly great, most of them should be core game stuff, 24 hour plants, omnigel, to name some. Having zero way to be self sufficient on a map kills the base game.
Thanks.

i am getting an error when i try to load the Subspace Transponder in A13. The in game console spits red errors lines at me when i activate the mod.
Can you check that it is installed correctly, and is not inside a extra folder. it should be you should have a folder "\Mods\ED-SubspaceTransponder\About". If that does not fix it what does the error say?

Yes there is a bug with the Transponder. It should go Charging->Charged->Activated by Player->Transmitting->Ship Arrives->Back to Charging.
I will look at releasing a patch later.
Just updated ED-Shields and ED-SubspaceTransponder
Omnigel recipes seem to require too much omnigel to make it worth it.
If you look at what potatoes is worth, somewhere around $0.50 depending upon skill level of trader, and you get 10 per plant usually, thats 5 silver per plant. And when you look at what you get for actually using omnigel it makes no sense in this scale. Since you have to waste time building these things I think getting roughly an equal comparison to what you would trading makes more sense than a severely high penalty.
So with this in mind, this is a lot better in my playtesting.
100 omnigel = 70 steel (higher than it should be to balance the component need)
100 omnigel = 50 silver
100 omnigel = 10 gold
100 omnigel = 5 plasteel
100 omnigel = 5 uranium
Just tested the updated shields. Seems to work fine now. Thanks for your hard work! :)
EDIT: Using the Rimsenal mod, some of the weapons like the Crucible Rifle fire really fast moving shots that ignore the shield. Is there any way to deal with this?
Jaxxa,
I am using quite a few mods, and I seem to have an issue with the shield reactors not connecting to the power grid.
And upon constructing the powerline directly underneath the generator the game crashes.
I have added the mods as an image in the attachment.
I was hoping that maybe you would be able to tell me which of the mods might be conflicting with your ED-shields mod.
Or maybe it is the order in which I have placed them..
Cos I think I was careful enough in selecting the mods to not overlap with any additions the mods give.
Edit: Same thing applies to the laserdrill and the stargate.
[attachment deleted by admin - too old]
Rather then cluttering up my previous post, i'll be posting this in a new one:
This morning I decided to run it through the devmode with most of the other mods disabled to prevent any conflicting issues. (added the modlist + order in attachment)

So i have stumbled onto a little bit of annoying. The embrasures fail to protect power conduit like a normal wall would so entire sections of fortifications of auto turrets can go down with a few charging grenadiers
I've encountered an issue with the laser drill/fill... I can place them, colonists bring out the materials, go through the whole building process, but as soon as it's complete, there's nothing on the map. It could be a conflict with another mod. I'll see if I can get more info.
Thanks for the very nice mods. I think I have found a glitch with shields (Standard ones are the only one I have researched ATM):
- When powered and charging they require 1500W.
- When fully charged at 4k, power requirement goes down to 1000W.
- If you power them down (Directly on them, or by using a switch on the power line they are attached to) WHILE they are not full, as expected, they slowly discharge.
- Meanwhile, if you switch power off after they have charged to full, they do not drain any power at all and retain their full 4k charge (Again, doesn't matter if you switch them off directly or by disabling the power line they are attached to).
Intended? Or glitch?
EDIT: Probably related... One of my Standard Shields fully charged has just become damaged (due to the malfunction event) and it didn't loose its charge while it was damaged nor after been repaired.

Not to sound like a parrot if this was already asked, could you please combine all of your mods into a single folder? Ill be downloading most of them because I quite like your mods and would like the convenience.
Thank you,

Jaxxa,
Please do what you want, I was merely asking for your mods not to be combined into one but, have them all in one folder (easy drag and drop). I do not mind downloading them at all, however, out of all of them I only skipped 1.
I cannot imagine the amount of free time you have given to the mods you have created and the dedication you have put to keep these mods up to date so I thank you, thank you. As I do not know how to create mods, I am very much grateful for having you in the community.
If you feel like keeping the mods separated is the best option please do not feel like you owe me or anyone else anything.
Again, thank you, and please, take what I have requested as a suggestion and nothing more.
Thank you,
Oron
Hey Jaxxa,
I do use A13, and I toke your advice and re-downloaded all the mods.
I also removed the ED-core mod, since it doesnt seem to be needed from the text in your OP.
Everything works now! Thanks :)
I'll be back if I got something to report.
Loving the shields and the vulcan btw haha

Yes but trading is broken anyhow without things like your subspace transponder. The randomness of trading in the base game is just too unrealistic. The bigger a colony gets the more traders would come because you are making them more and more money, so they would visit you more. Not to mention the base game inability to actively conduct trade yourself "just wait for it" is a bit unrealistic. :)
I also realized the amount harvested is only 2 by default, I moved it to 8 like potatoes with the same grow time, and then balanced prices pretty much like my post said. It made it a lot more enjoyable, and still quite limiting for a big base. The way I see it, whatever potatoes can do omnigel should be able to do, otherwise it makes no financial sense to use it. When trading can be done better with your subspace mod (I have 5 of your buildings to quickly trade when needed) you would only make potatoes otherwise.

I think it's just coming through too fast for the shield to check for it. I think there was a similar problem when using it with combat realism a while back, since bullets move much faster with combat realism.
I don't seem to be able to make the reverse cycle cooler. Does it replace the regular cooler? When I try to build a cooler from the temperature menu, it won't let me place it -- it shows the materials needed to build, but the cooler blueprint doesn't place. If it's a different cooler, where can I find it, please? Or do I have to research something?

The buildings disappear entirely.
the reverse cycle cooler only change the way how the normal cooler works
if you select the cooler than you get a violet and a white room to see how hew cools/heats the white room is to ignore he need only to be 1x1 and the violet room is the room which get cooled or heated
For ED-PoweredVent mod:
Does anyone know if there is a mod or item that you can link to the powered vent to "sense" temperature of the room that the "thermometer" item is placed and then lets you set the powered vent to auto cycle between its power levels to attempt to reach that temperature when it is connected to two thermometers in 2 different rooms with different temps. I'm doing this manually as a giant central heating system for my base atm using the heat from my energy room =P. I have 2 vents to my power station room. 1 to outside, and 1 to my main base. Winter time, i shut the vent and control how much heat i push into my base, while i completely vent during summer or i would be cooked =P

Glad you are enjoying the mods. Since a few people have asked similar things I am thinking of adding a single .zip file that would contain all of the other latest release versions so you can download them all at once and then just extract them and copy them over as you want. I think that is probably the best blend of easy to update / manage for me and easy to uses for you.

I suppose it's not a big deal though, since the faction that uses that weapon is supposed to be widely feared and stuff. Being able to pierce shields like that definitely helps them seem more threatening.
I feel so stupid.. Saw somebody using your mod on YouTube, so I googled it. Found the A11 version, figured that would probably still work (since I usually see topics get updated instead of new ones opened). Then later, I found the A12 version (since A11 didn't work). And now, finally I found the A13 version. I should REALLY start checking the last post more often. Thanks for your continued work!
Not sure if anyone else is getting this error or not, but when I attempt to build the lower level shields, the construction looks to be fine, they bring out materials, begin building and then it ... just disappears.
Pulled from debug log:
(http://i.imgur.com/kYeXzeu.jpg)
Can anyone help? Also had a similar problem with inferno cannons. with them just disappearing but I believe that's another mod, perhaps.
[lightning fast edit!] I found the problem. Don't download the 'source code' zip/7z file as it has a different folder name than the top most file. I think it throws it off. Using the top most file link fixes both this and the laser drill issues! I hope this helps anyone else having this issue!

Dont know exactly, how did it work in the previous version, before the fix I just did? Is it that it is just passing over the cell within the one frame that it is checked?
I think it's just coming through too fast for the shield to check for it. I think there was a similar problem when using it with combat realism a while back, since bullets move much faster with combat realism.
Ok, I will look into that, but I dont know that there is much that can be done.
I suppose it's not a big deal though, since the faction that uses that weapon is supposed to be widely feared and stuff. Being able to pierce shields like that definitely helps them seem more threatening.
I have an idea on how it could be modified to work with fast projectiles, but I Would have to completely change how projectile detection is done, so probably not any time soon and it might not work.

I feel so stupid.. Saw somebody using your mod on YouTube, so I googled it. Found the A11 version, figured that would probably still work (since I usually see topics get updated instead of new ones opened). Then later, I found the A12 version (since A11 didn't work). And now, finally I found the A13 version. I should REALLY start checking the last post more often. Thanks for your continued work!
Glad you found the right thread in the end. :)

[lightning fast edit!] I found the problem. Don't download the 'source code' zip/7z file as it has a different folder name than the top most file. I think it throws it off. Using the top most file link fixes both this and the laser drill issues! I hope this helps anyone else having this issue!
Glad you figured it out. I did have a note to download the release versions in the OP, but I have edited that and made it clearer.

I think it should, I have not tested it, but it triggers the OrbitalTraderArrival event so it should work for mods that add new traders to that event. Give it a go and let me know if it works.
Hello and thanks for the great mods!!
I believe the ones called "Reverse Cycle Cooler" and "Closable Vent" aren't properly working together with Latta's "Better Coolers" and "Better Vents". For example, there is no "rotate" icon on the coolers. If you have the time, please take a look (I've tried loading these mods before and after each other, and the only thing that changes is the appearance).
Also, is "More Vanilla Turrets" compatible with "Combat realism" (or can it be made so)?
Thanks!

I dont think that More Vanilla Turrets should have a problem with Combat realism. I it will not be using any of the new features, but as far as I know it should still work.

I'm not sure, but Latta's mods (repackaged by Skullywag) might change only the appearance of the coolers/vents. The powered vent is working properly. Thank you!
Trying to use the Stargate but I can't seem to move anything or anyone to anywhere else. How does this work? Halp!
I think I might've been confused.
Is this basically just a fancy way of moving colonists from one saved file (colony) to another? i.e. You put them into the Stargate using 'Load Colonists' and then load up a different save file, with a different colony, build the 'Offworld Stargate' and activate it, then loading the colonists into it?
I figured this allowed you to explore the other 'plots' of land in the world that was generated. i.e. Around the settlement you created. Is this not the case?

That is basically how it works, but you need to add the colonists / resources. Then Press "Dial Out", I think this is the part you may be missing. Then on a new map you can recall them. Let me know if that still does not work.

Thanks for the feedback, but unfortunatly it is not that simple because as far as I am aware there are no unmodified thingdefs in the mod.
While most of the files are identical to the base one, a modification has been done to "PlantBase" inside "Plants_Cultivated.xml" setting the thingClass to "Enhanced_Development.Plants24H.Plant". Redefining the other definitions serves to make them use this new thingClass, even though the individual definitions in each file have not change from the base one.
I will have a look into either creating a compatibility patch for your mod. I dont think I can completely replace the Plant class in the Rimworld namespace, but if you have a better idea on how I could approach this I am open to suggestions.
@Jaxxa can't you just hook (detours) the functions you want to modify in the base game therefore removing the need to have to modify any XML?
I will have a look into that.
New Updates, including some compatibility patches:
2016-05-07
* Updating
* ED-Shields to 01.00.02
* ED-SubspaceTransponder 01.00.02
* Adding
* ED-Embrasures-CR
* ED-ClosableVent-BetterVents
* ED-PoweredVents-BetterVents
* ED-ReverseCycleCooler-BetterCoolers
* ED-PersonalAnimalShields
* ED-PersonalNanoShields
wait, doesn't the vanilla vent in A13 do the same thing as your powered vents without the power usage?
Initially yes, that is why the powered vent is added in addition to the standard vent. However you are able to increase the power usage of the powered vent to increase the speed that the temperature changes. So instead of having 20 separate vents to equalise a massive room you can have one vent and dump a bunch of power into it.
Is there a core mod for this? That plant growth 24/7 wont work or somethin. :/

Jaxxa will have to change the way he does the mod if he wants any other plant based mod to work correctly with his. If you remove all other plant based mods it should work though.
Basically the best way seems to be to hook the relevant function(s) and then he won't need to modify any XML or anything like that, and provided his mod is loaded before other plant based ones most other mods should work with it unless they are also hooking the same functions.
First of all, thank you for your great mods, I'm using almost all of them ^^
So far everything works fine, but I found some things you could fix/change. Plant24h doesn't work for Omnigel plants and your Omnigel matter replicators produce energy (useful but I guess it wasn't intended to do so). Finally your new NanoShields count as clothes instead of armor and nudists aren't happy anymore if they wear them. Also after the first charge, the Colonist Upgrade Station produces infinity shields in no time, with no recharge time required for the station.
Keep up your work, it's making Rimworld much more interesting :)
Hello! I just now realized that the MoreVanillaTurrets mods isn't working properly with the latest patches of CombatRealism (i.e. turrets should have ammo types/requirements, they should need to be reloaded, they should allow forced firing at a certain tile,etc).

Pretty sure something like that requires a compatibility patch.
I'm having some difficulties with the auto-loader on mortars. Is there any specific way that you have set it up?
I'm having trouble with the Laser Drill; I'm unsure if it is actually working at this point, I made two of them in one of my colonies and a year has passed without any noticeable progress. How long did you happen to code it to be? I'm not sure if the mod itself is working or if I just haven't waited enough.
Thank you so much for your mods though, I'm using most of them and they add so much to the game! :)

I've been using this mod, and I haven't had any trouble with my setup. Everyone is different though.
If you have it built and connected to power, when you click on it the window should show how much work is left. As long as it's powered that number should be steadily decreasing. Once it reaches zero it will go away and you will have a new geyser. It does take a while, but no where near that long.

Once I built a Laser Drill besides a Geothermal Generator and although it was directly connected, it didn't get any power. But as I connected both with additional wires, it worked, so perhaps this could solve your problem too :)

Yes, No core mod, but it could be an incomparability with another mod. I am looking into changing how the mod works by using Detours.

Hope you got it figured out, It should not be taking that long. You should be able to see the progress in the text at the lower left when you have the drill selected. Also only one drill can be activated at any one time. Try toggling the power on/off.

The basics of it is that you load people / resources into the Stargate. Then Dial out.
Then on the same map or a new map you press dial in and they should all appear around the Stargate.
Anyone here who uses the Vegetable Garden mod, or any growing based mods can make them work with PLANT24H relatively easily.
In Alpha 13 the "PlantBase" and all "bases" don't need to be redefined in every mod, they are global in nature now. So as long as PLANT24H is loaded first, or above other garden mods, you can make them work with it pretty easily by going into the mod and removing the "PlantBase" definition in them. This will then force them to use the PLANT24H "PlantBase" and therefore they will work properly. Hope this helps anyone.

I think that is part of the reason that CR is not working. From memory CR also used a different projectile, but I will have to look into that. Making Shields work with CR is on my ToDo list.

Should have a Shield compatibility patch with Combat Realism up this weekend.
Looking forward to it :)
Released it now. Let me know how it goes. :)
As soon as I get back from school :)
EDIT: yup! working :D shields working perfectly
Apparently these mods are not compatible with prepare carefully.
it also causes the crash landing mod to completely flip out.

They should not be... I am using most of Enhanced Development's mods with Prepare Carefully and I had no issues.
Your problem is that Crash Landing needs a patch to work with Prepare Carefully, look for it on both mods' websites and install it
How do the ED-Embrasures compare to the Embrasures in CR Defense?

The CR patch gives basically the same stats as the ones from CR... Maybe there may be a difference in wall HP, but the cover they give is the same. Other than that the looks of them are different.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but when I was playing around with ED-MoreVanillaTurrets, I noticed that they didn't have switches to turn them off and on. I couldn't find if this was intentional to the mod or not. I'm someone who likes shutting off the turrets if they are not in use.
How do you reinforce materials once you have the workbench?
New Updates:
* ED-MoreVanillaTurrets_01.00.01
* ED-ReverseCycleCooler_01.00.01
* ED-Plant24H_02.00.00
ED-Plant24H is a Complete Rewrite of the mod. Now requires CCL due to use of Detours.
* Should no longer require Compatibility patches to work with modded plants.
* Delete the old version of the mod and any existing Compatibility patches as these will now cause Errors.

It is not a normal workbench, just turn it on and it will Pull resources from adjacent squares, ideally Autohoppers, but also from the ground.

Thank you very much. What is the best way to get the materials I want in front of the machine? Should I create a stockpile or are "Hoppers" the best? I've never used them only seen them in-game but I'll figure them out if they are the best method.
It does not really matter. If you use Hoppers you may need the ones from My Autoloader mod because normal hoppers dont have all the categories enabled.
I Personally think Hoppers look better, but if you just use a stockpile you dont need the Autoloader mod and you can make one big stockpile and change the settings all at once.
Really your choice, the Reinforcer will just use materials next to it, not caring if it is a stockpile or a hopper.
Is the "Generic Hopper" From your mod? I just figured out that hoppers are just for the purpose of machines like this. Thank you for all the help.
No that is not from one of my mods.
Updated Stargate mod to fix a crash.
Hello
I recently used your omnigel mod :)
Before all, great work !
But, i wanted to give you some feedback about it.
-1 Actually the 3 workbenchs in the mod GENERATE electricity x_O i do belive it's a mistake ?
-2 You set the convert ratio for plasteel at 60 for 1. It's even worst than gold or uranium... Why ? :/
We use a lot of plasteel (a lot more than uranium :p)
I personally put it at 60 for 10 in my game but i wanted to know why that low ratio
(i have 486 omnigel crops and i still have to take really care about my plasteel use)
I apologize if my english burned your eyes :x
I have updated your Plant24H mod to 2.00.00 and I can't load my saves anymore.
I'm using Community Core Library v0.13.3.
Downgrading Plants24H to 1.00.00 fixes it.
"Could not find class Enhanced_Development.Plants24H.Plant while resolving node thing. Trying to use Verse.Thing instead. Full node: <thing Class="Enhanced_Development.Plants24H.Plant"><unlitTicks>16000</unlitTicks><def>PlantGrass</def><id>PlantGrass325452</id><pos>(237, 0, 158)</pos><health>85</health><growth>0.05</growth><age>16000</age><unlitTicks>16000</unlitTicks></thing>"
The line above repeats for every plant that exists in the save, except that the part of the plants' characteristics changes for the other lines. But "Enhanced_Development.Plants24H.Plant" is always there.
Updated ED-OmniGel.
Fixed the generating power issue.
As for the cost of plasteel that is roughly based on the Market Value in the base game, which lists plasteel as more valuable than Gold or Uranium.

I didn't test it but 2.00.00 will not be Save compatible with previous versions. You should probably just run the older version until you want to start a new game.
Or you can try editing the save file so that all the plant use the base plant class.
thanks for the update info.

Is it possible to deactivate the debug massages from Reverse Cycle Cooler? Finding error in the outputlog can be pretty annoying if every Cooler, every few tick (or so) says its doing its job.
Edit: I'm also noticed the Matter Replicators all transmit power, unlike most other work tables. Is this by design or just some thing that never got changed, from back in the days?

Yes, i re-downloaded the mod, but i'm not talking about producing or requiring power but transmitting like a cable. The Matter Replicator all need a cable touch it in order to work, while for other a cable only needs to nearby.
This is what i'm talking about:
<transmitsPower>true</transmitsPower>It should either be false or get delete.
Hey am Currently Using your Personal shield mod loving it, however why is the price for a shield 0.50$ and the upgrade to Nanoshield simply does not work, I had to spawn a nanite shield to see if the mod was working because I couldn't obtain one apart from the 0.50 I later saw, and realized some characters don't work with it while others when equipped worked or duplicated which had me confused. Also I fear for my save if I'm going to use animal personal shields, What i fear is whether its too OP to obtain one creating semi-immortal animals.
EDIT: I have my own makeshift balancing system where i replace a personal shield above good with a nanite shield. And I also realize raiders do not possess this technology giving the player an advantage from the start.
Besides all that what happened to DeepStrike I like the sound of transporting a colonist to another colony (save) on the map?
Idk if this has been mentioned so i figure i'll just get it out there in case.
Animal Nano Shields, for some reason causes the Prepare Carefully mod's Prepare Carefully character creation button to not work. I have no idea how or why though.

Ok, I understand what you are saying, but I dont see a problem with having to run a direct power connection since the replicators will use more power.

Transporting to another Save is done by the Stargate mod, that still exists.
And yes this is only for players, but i feel that it is partly balanced because if has to be recharged at a specific station rather than self recharging of the normal shields

I saw it mentioned a few pages back that the shields don't work with combat realism because the projectiles travel too fast for the shield to register?
Having tested it myself I noticed that the shield does not register incoming damage despite taking damage (The number will stay at 225 so you have no idea how damaged the shield is) and will then "break" after taking a certain amount of damage.

There are two shield mods. ED-Shields which used to have the problem, and ED-PersonalNanoShields. The former is a big bubble shield.
Nanao-kun is Right as far as I ama ware all of those issues were relating to ED-Shields not ED-PersonalNanoShields.

It's with the personal nano shield, when you click on the nano upgrade piece on the ground to add a shield to a colonist it adds the wearable nano shield so it appears next the draft button of 0/255 (or whatever.) That number is what is not going down when damaged.
I did notice a smaller counter appearing above the colonists name 255/255 etc. which
does give an accurate recording of the shields status/level.
So the shield
is actually working as intended from what I can see, it's just the display next to the colonist draft button that's not working properly.
Strange, I have not been able to replicate that. Is it happening without any other mods installed.
Jaxxa, reinforced stuff is priced almost the same as regular stuff in trading, leading to exploiting by trading regular stuff for reinforced stuff without much work. Care to fix?
Ok, I will look into that.
I would prefer to remove it from trading than just increasing the cost.

You dont equip animals with the same shields as colonists.
This is from memory, haven't looked at the mod in a while.
You need both the Animal Shields and Personal Shields enabled.
They must both be enabled before the animals are spawned.
Move the animals near the Upgrade Station.
You might have to press the upgrade button, I dont recall.
Enable charging on the upgrade station, its charge level should start dropping while the shield level of the animals increases.
Once it reaches full charge the animal should be protected.
Let me know if you still have issues and I will look into it in greater detail.

Still Nothing. Tested It Using Spawned Animals And Nothing Happened. Also Checked The Xml Files -From My Mod Folder And Downloads- Finding Only The Animal Races Definition Files So Probably There's A Problem With The Current Mod File.
Have you trues using the Upgrade Button, I think the building needs to be fully charged first?
If not I will have a look into it tonight.
I Used The Upgrade To NanoShield Button But It Only Added A Shield To Any Colonist In Range And Spawned Another In The Ground -One For Each Colonist In Range- But Nothing With Animals.
Ok, I will check that it is working tonight.
I does not actually add any gear to an animal but if you click on an animal after upgrading it will have a "Shields: xxx / 255" in the display in the lower left corner. This is working for me in the latest version.
Oh, I See It Now, Great :D
Thanks For Your Time Bro.
No problem, glad you got it working.
will these be on steam workshop?
The intention is to have them on the Workshop, A few of them are already on there.
jaxxa, have just downloaded the a4 updated mods, and have had two issues in the laserdrill, the first is the version string, the second is that the lasdriil building is missing (this is my interpretation of the error log attached)
[attachment deleted by admin - too old]
Thanks for letting me know.
It looks like the Release File didn't upload properly to Github so there was only the source versions there.
I have removed that release and put the mod into the A13 list. Once I get home from work I will upload it again. (In about 10 Hours)
Just Updated a few more mods, including the Laser Drill.
jaxxa, I downloaded the later laserdrill & removed the previous one from my mod and extracted the nerwer into the same location and made sure that it is enabled and it does show in the menus and research, no errors on start BUT when I get to the point of building the laser drill the resources are placed, the work happens to build it, then it just vanishes leaving and empty location and NO steam vent or operating drill
Are you certain that you are not using the source releases?
You should be downloading "ED-LaserDrill_02.00.00.zip"
yes I had (for the first time ) downloaded the ED-LaserDrill-02.00.00.zip and for the second ED_LaserDrill_02.00.00.zip, and additonal info that might help to sort this is that even in god mode I can not place the laser drill using the extracted ED_LaserDrill_02.00.00.zip
hope this helps
What version of the game are you running?
Can you confirm that you have the .dll in the Assemblies folder?
Are you you using the LaserDrill not the LaserFiller.
running on the older 0.14.1234, no assemblies folder OR .dll, and yes the laser drill, interestinly the ED-LaserDrill_02.00.00.zip does contain a assemblies folder (had extraced it with several other mods using 7zip integrated commands), and I will attempt a re-extract to correct folder
You will need to be using the one that contains the .dll file.
The one without it was an error in the initial upload.
Hey Jaxxa, I see you limited sub space transponder to only one at a time. Is it possible to allow that to be changed in the XML file? With the much longer time they take to charge and call I feel like limiting them to only one at a time is a bit unbalanced.
I'm unsure if it's just the setup of my defenses (http://puu.sh/q8RI1/a4ce5507e8.jpg), but it seems like all raiders don't even try to shoot at the embrasures. They just bumrush them and start meleeing them. Is this intentional?

Since they take twice as long to charge as they do to call and the limit of one at a time is only the calling, you should be able to have three transponders, 2 charging and one calling at any one time. How much stuff do you need to be selling? Does this not appear to be enough? There is a limit in the game of the Max number of trade ships that can be around at any one time so I want to keep below that number.

Okay, thank you! Also, have you considered adding the ability for the smaller turrets to be reinstalled, like the basic turret?
I can confirm that this will be in the next version, out Tonight / Tomorrow. This was actually sent as a Pull request by retep998 on Github, I just have not had time to release it yet.
Nevermind then! Thank you very much for your hard work!

There is a limit in the game of the Max number of trade ships that can be around at any one time so I want to keep below that number.
The limit is 5 trade ships at once, at least it was in Alpha 13, since you changed your mod I haven't got more than 3 at any one time, now I mainly only have one at a time.
Maybe a research item "research upgrade 2 trade ships at once " then 3 then 4 then 5, for instance. And I would love the ability for the time taken to call them to decrease too as a research item. I know it must be relatively easy for you to specify this in your DLL and it would allow those of us who need more trade ships the option to have it. I also think you should increase the power cost of these things to maybe 3000 or 4000 watts. This would then lead to decisions to how many do you really want to be running since they consume so much. Sure I can have 5 running but then I need massive power drain. And when you think about what these things do, beam into outer space, consuming lots of power makes sense.
Trading at the moment in Rimworld is just poorly done and your mod is pretty much the only thing that balances it at all. Sure I could just increase the "chance" they happen randomly in the XML but your mod feels like much less of a cheat and also gives the player some control over trading. Your mod is something I think is essential to the game as it is, and it will hopefully be incorporated into the main game at some point. I play pretty large bases every time and there is just too much stuff to sell and that you need to buy to rely on the core game mechanic.
Is it also possible for this mod to include a way to contact caravans?
Why do you need so many Trade ships? Are you trying to offload massive amounts of goods or trying to buy something specific? How many do you think you would need / how often?
I am wanting to keep a bit of realism / balance.
I will look into contacting caravans, I would assume that they are working in a similar way but have not looked into that yet, but it is probably a good idea to allow it to be called.

It is a mixture of selling and often trying to get the right trade ship. Due to the poor way trading is handled in the base game, you often can't even sell enough goods to one guy because they randomly have low money. You often can't even buy something from a trader because they have low amounts of only 5 things. So having the ability to call them more often to get what you need, or sell what you have is a necessity for large bases.
Your mod is used with other mods which change a lot how the base game is. The base game doesn't really allow large bases for instance, and in that case your mod is probably fairly well balanced. However I don't see the harm in allowing research which is up to the user to select if they want or not, to make it work for large bases too.
Maybe we could have Plant24h next? Let's be frank, that is, like, the only mod that makes the way sunlamps work acceptable. Either they need to function 24/7 or they need to shut off automatically once plants start 'resting'.
Also, trade caravans actually kinda make MORE sense to be able to call. Heck, you shouldn't even need a special structure for it, just the same old thing you use to talk to all the facs.

Any idea how to fix that? is it mod load order? Also I used it and it called a pirate merchant. I bought a prisoner which it never gave to me, but loaded his picture at the top. It also gave a red line error.
thanks in advance
Want to update and say i figured it out. the subspace mod was conflicting with another mod that increases trade ship rates. I just moved the mod order around.
thanks for the great mods
First Time answer here and all I have to say is Jaxxa, I love you man,
I love the hell out of your mods since they first came out.
Most of all I respect and love the extra mile you go for raisinpickers like me and have every extra feature as a extra mod.
After so much praise you may sense the but coming :)
I am also lazy and would it be possible for you to offer a combined download ?

not to pester, just waiting here for 24h plants to update. pretty mutch the only mod im still waiting on.

Hey Jaxxa, I see you limited sub space transponder to only one at a time. Is it possible to allow that to be changed in the XML file? With the much longer time they take to charge and call I feel like limiting them to only one at a time is a bit unbalanced.
Since they take twice as long to charge as they do to call and the limit of one at a time is only the calling, you should be able to have three transponders, 2 charging and one calling at any one time. How much stuff do you need to be selling? Does this not appear to be enough? There is a limit in the game of the Max number of trade ships that can be around at any one time so I want to keep below that number.

I'm unsure if it's just the setup of my defenses (http://puu.sh/q8RI1/a4ce5507e8.jpg), but it seems like all raiders don't even try to shoot at the embrasures. They just bumrush them and start meleeing them. Is this intentional?
That is not intended and looks like a bug that I will investigate. Although I dont know that there is much I can do as that is more about how the AI is dealing with it and I dont want to be making any large AI changes.
Jaxxa,
There was a post I found while reading through the Combat Realism thread and found someone on page 93,Krutchen , it seems that if raiders can't path all the way to anyone due to doors/walls/embrasures, they resort to explosive/melee attacks against walls/doors. He made a fix but his GitHub isn't around anymore, based on the time-stamps of the posts he figured it out over the course of a day, no indication of how much of that was actually trying to figure out the problem.
I don't know how to link you directly to his post, but it's about halfway down the page here https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9759.1380
additionally I've noticed the same behavior in my colony, which is coincidentally what led me on this... so far 3 hour adventure for a fix for it. I've messaged Krutchen asking him for how he fixed the issue but he hasn't been active on this site for almost a month and I don't know if he will respond.

My current plan for the Transponders is to allow you to switch it between Calling Ships / Caravans. Caravans will take half as long to call as ships, and you will be able to have 1 Transmitting for each type. That should give you 3x the number of traders that you could get before this new update. Hopefully that will be enough.

Possibly, Probably not for a while. I have an idea for a Railgun Cannon I want to try first, and a main thing is getting the art for them.
I was keen on the idea of embrasures. More alternatives to just sandbags, great!
That said - when I loaded up a test game to get a feel for how they worked, and they seem almost broken-overpowered.
A sandbag can give 65% cover (if the shooter is at least 3 tiles away)
An embrasure gives 99% (!!) cover at the same distance. That's basically invulnerability.
I don't think I could justify using this... it just seems very unbalanced, and I'm afraid it will only serve to trivialize the combat.
I can see it justified that they are a little stronger than sandbags given the cost (although wood somewhat trivializes this and will work for quite a while). but I'm thinking that something like 75% (versus sandbags 65%) would be more reasonable? ... 75% cover is still incredibly powerful.
Either that, or maybe embrasured should give some debuff to the shooter on the other side (narrow slits for shooting make for good defence, but setting up a good shot is more restrictive too)
To be fair I haven't yet played a campaign with these enabled. I have only done testing beforehand in debugmode. Am I just missing something ? .. I guess I can just change the value on my own if need be but...
-Stigma
Yeah, Right now they are over powered. I will be nerfing them in the near future, probably to the same protection as sandbags.
Are there any plans to update Stargate or has the scenario editor made it impossible to implement?

Aah, good.
Reducing them to the same cover-level as sandbags certainly would prevent them from being always preferred over sandbags.
They would then primarily fill the role of "unwalkable sandbags" , which is fine, and gives you some more ways to make defenses, bunkers and the like.
I think it could be justified having them at a slightly higher value too, maybe 70%, but remove the option to use wood (a wooden that is very thick would be impractical, and a thin one would be poor protection).
Then the difference in cost (15 for embrasure currently, 3 for sandbag if I remember correctly) can justify the difference and smart players will use them somewhat sparingly with sandbags in less critical areas. I think the option of wood currently breaks this a little. 15 wood is far less hard to come by.
I will add some feedback about a thing I feel seems a little weird too - currently these embrasures seem to work very similar to sandbags in terms of cover, but that means that unless you are right next to it then it gives no cover at all. This seems logical for sandbags as you kind of have to crouch behind them, but shooting someone 10 tiles behind an embrasure through a thin slit on the other hand seems like a very hard shot. Ideally I would like to see shots that go through embrasures actually give extra cover the further away from it you are (obviously, returning fire from would not be viable as your enemy would gain that cover too when you aren't next to it). This would allow you to for example have embrasures as part of base walls to shoot out of rooms without leaving everything inside the room completely open to un-covered fire.
I'm not sure if this is easily moddable though - it probably requires a new check to be made? Just giving ideas though :)

your subspace transponder was not fitting in size related to the graphic u had so i modified the xml to be the same as the comms console.
it was 5,5 3,3 i changed it to 5,4 3,2.
i hope u are okay with me attaching the modified xml. otherwise ill take it down again.
just replace the xml in \Mods\ED-SubspaceTransponder\Defs\ThingDefs_Buildings.

What was the problem ingame? I thought it was looking ok to me. Having that xml file there is fine, but if there is a problem I want to fix it in the mod itself.

Yes, only things of the Player Faction should be safe. Wild animals, raiders, traders and visitors should all be fair game.
The image u took for the transponder is the same as the commsconsole but with a satalite on it. For me the transponder was stretched weirdly. Like I mentioned in my post earlier I changed the size in the XML only to fix the propotions. The values are the same as the vanilla commsconsole.

/snip
I am interested in the Embrasures Mod. What was the update? I am not sure whether you are aware of a quite interesting discussion about how your Embrasures Mod is OP on Steam. Their arguments summed up are:
- FoV too high
- 99% chance too high, should be 75% (I have no idea what chance they are talking about but you probably know)
- AI does often not react to shot from embrasures
- Embrasures act as a wall in terms of temperature
IMHO these are all quite good points. Do you think that you can do anything about them?
The update reduced the fillPercent from .99 to .70
That in general represents how likely it is to block a bullet.
As far as I am aware FOV is not a concept in Rimworld.
QuoteAI does often not react to shot from embrasures
I am aware that this is an issue, that the AI does not really know how to react to embrasures.
I would like to fix it but have run into issues with it not decompiling nicely and reluctant to make such low level changes to avoid breaking something else.
I might do something like a separate Barricades mod (or include it in embrasures), that would basically be sandbags with a really high path cost, that might solve some of the issues.
Bug report for SafeTraps.

Thanks for the report, can you please get the latest version of the mod and let me know if it still happens.
Oh, I had no idea it was fixed already, there was no mention of it on the forums and your post still says 08-02.
Yeah, sorry about that, Looks like I missed posting on the forum that a new update was out.

Download:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-ClosableVent/releases
Patches:
Better Vents:
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-ClosableVent-BetterVents/releases
Could use some clarification about the vent mods. So I see there are compatibility patches with the ED vent mods to use the graphics from BetterVents. I would like to use this. My questions are:
- I see that ED-ClosableVent and ED-PoweredVent are listed as A14 compatible. However on Skullywags page, BetterVents itself is listed as still being worked on for A14. Will the compatibility patches for ClosableVent and PoweredVent work for A14? And will I still need to wait for Skullywags to update BetterVents?
- If I want to use the above-mentioned mods and patches, do I need to use both the mods and the patches? And what about BetterVents itself? Or, and this is what I'm assuming is the correct method, do I not use those 2 of ED's mods themselves, and instead use the compatibility patches + Skullywags BetterVents mod?
- How do we install those compatibility patches? Are they installed seperately like other mods, or are they placed inside of another mod, I assume in this case that would be BetterVents?
just wondering, do the safe trap mod prevent animal pet from triggering a trap?

It should stop your pets from triggering traps. If it does not please report it as a bug.
Manhunter packs do not seem to trigger traps.
They should still be triggering traps as much as they do in the base game. But animals have a reduced chance to trigger traps compared to a similar human.

Hey Jaxxa, as usual thanks for the great mods.
Over the discussions of embrasures, I would like to voice my opinion as well:
I too like the idea of building fortified bunkers and structures from which my fighters can shoot, however (like already mentioned) the AI does not know how to deal with it, considering a closed off wall with embrasures as indoors, and simply ignoring it going still for the entrance or whatever else is on their way. So they won't try to fire or even blow the wall up, for that reason alone its a sort of broken feature.
I see no other solution as well to just using sandbags as a sort of fence on the game, as it is the closest thing to fence in the game. Perhaps some sort of halfway concept? Either way, having a 1 wall column provides a pretty good protection advantage.
As for the other point, the game doesn't seem to have a FOV feature, but it does have line of sight, and those in embrasures seems to be like 90° open to the front of the peer( 45° each side). its good enough, though one could expect a more restrict thin line in front of it.
Loving these mods for the latest release so far, any word on when the stargates and person nano shields will be upgraded to A14?

So if I understand this correctly, if you use embrasures to make a bunker, meaning some sort of room and a section of that room being an embrasure (which by the way is a great idea), it doesn't work properly. But if we use the embrasure in a space that is at some point open, and therefore not considered a room, then it works fine? Like for example, maybe a single tile left open on one side so it isn't considered an enclosed space? And does this lapse in functionality effect all embrasures (brunayla's, skullywag's, etc.)?
Hey Jaxxa, awesome, awesome mods. SafeTraps is my favorite, I hate designing killboxes and exploiting AI to control enemy movements and this actually makes it viable to defend yourself without those.
However... Is it possible to mod the colonist pathing AI to not avoid traps at all costs? My colonists are going around mountains to avoid stepping on a trap or two...
Why not make a path with doors next to your traps ?

Yeah that seems to be the way its working, eg I tried building bunkers attached to my bunker base, closer to where my pawns should with safe access.
I haven't tested with other mods but they probably work the same way.

No it makes them not trigger the traps at all, but as part of vanilla? behaviour, they will also do their best not to step on any traps ever. A 5-tile path with a trap on it will be less preferable to pawns than a 5000-tile path that has no traps.
Edit: It might actually take two consecutive trapped tiles on a path to make it infinitely repulsive to pawns
Could Embrasures mess with the room detection ?
Hmm .. To bad nobody answered that ..
Well. Doesn't matter anymore anyway.
But I would like to pose a request :)
It would be very, very nice if your Subspace Transponder could send an UI Message when fully charged.
I forget about it half of the time, since it is a long time between sending and being fully charged again, so a small reminder would make this great mode even better.

Why do you ask that?
I had the issue, sometimes room will not auto detect, separate from outdoors/other room. Its minor and gets corrected once you reload your save.
Anyway, I don't it has anything to do with the mod, just general rimworld bug. I actually think it may be related somehow with roofs detection.
Possible :)
I feared it had to do with my generous use of embrasures and I asked because I remembered reading in some thread that the use of embrasures could cause problems.
But thanks for answering. :)

Animals look to have a low chance to trigger traps, that combined with the small size of boomrats that also factor into the chance to trigger does not convince me that this is a bug that I have introduced.

I think as far as room detection goes they should just be seen as normal walls. There are some problems with Raiders not knowing that they can fire through embrasures.

Thanks for answering, I may have overdone it with doors on that occasion.
And I had enough raiders shooting through embrasures, that I have no problem with the knowledge that they are doing it less than they could.
And as always. Gratz on a Release, Thanks for the great work.

request: can you please increase the amount of uranium crafted per job from omni gel mk 3 replicator. 1 per job is extremely low, and you need 20 uranium to do anything. (such as skullywag's armor repair mod to repair 1 crummy personal shield.)
i only ask this because uranium is so rare to be found for sale from the traders. so i really have no good way to get uranium.
i find the other material outputs are also quite low but i can just buy those materials from traders. really sad the replicators are not worth it except for the steel. you get a decent amount of steel per job, but every other material you try to craft gives just 1 of each which is awful. those ratios are just so bad it will take ages of growing to get enough resources to convert to anything. the math doesn't add up. you're better off growing something else. even cloth. the returns on anything but steel are so bad that i just skip it and make money selling clothes and buy the materials instead of wasting the omni gel on them.
/pokes head in
Update. I had wanted to get some some of the mods updated over the weekend, but that didn't end up happening. Intend to find the time soon, hopefully get some updated Tonight.
I had intended to skip a Shields patch for CR in A14 and focus on A15, but since a few people have asked about it assuming there is no major problems with it I will bring out a A14 patch.
The cost for things using OmniGel was balanced against the MarketValue in the base game. If you are finding that most things are not worth it then maybe I need to look at increasing its use across the board. Maybe having the Replicator not have to be manned, just fill it and leave it to work? Do you thing that would be an improvement, maybe for the higher level ones.

Maybe having the Replicator not have to be manned, just fill it and leave it to work? Do you thing that would be an improvement, maybe for the higher level ones.
for me in particular, i find biomes with good weather and long grow seasons are too easy. so i play extreme cassandra on cold biome. and to make things less easy-mode, i do not use grow zones for crops. hydroponics only. the only thing i grow outside of hydroponics is trees and devilstrand.
so, the amount of omni gel i typically grow is limited. hydroponics operation is costly.
but even if i could fill the entire map with free grow zones and had level 20 growers working it, the ratios are very wrong for the amount of time it takes to harvest/collect that much omni gel. not all outputs are created equal...
in terms of market value, each job seems to output different amount of silver/value, so only one job is worth doing because it outputs the best market value.
40 omni gel for 20 steel is okay. steel is worth $2.00. this makes each omni gel worth $1.00
75 omni gel for 30 silver? 30=$30.00. so each omni gel is only worth 40 cents!
and so on...
60 for 1 plasteel. valued @ $27 per plasteel = 45 cents per omni gel.
30 for 1 gold. valued @ $15 per gold = 50 cents per omni gel.
50 for 1 uranium. valued @ $5.00 per uranium = 10 cents per omni gel
40 for 1 medicine. valued @ $25.00 per medicine = 62 cents per onmi gel
60 for 2 artillery shells. valued @ $14.00 per shell = 40 cents per omni gel
meanwhile, if i crafted these items and tried to sell them for a profit, i'd get nowhere near those values. none would be more profitable than making cotton and crafting clothing and selling the clothing.
currently i find it only worth crafting steel from mk 2 replicator. otherwise i just grow cotton instead and have my level 20 tailor craft clothing to sell, then i buy what i need from traders (usually gold for EPOE).
as i mentioned, the reason i suggest uranium production be boosted is because it is rarely available for sale, so market value means nothing if the stock available to purchase is always zero.
i went ahead and edited the xml file to output 10 uranium per job, which i find more reasonable. this makes omni gel worth about $1.00 instead of 10 cents. this makes uranium obtainable. and you need 20 uranium at a time to do anything with it so...
i'd also suggest all other outputs be adjusted so that omni gel market value is at least $1.00 (as good as steel output), instead of less than 1/2 the value of steel...
so this:
40 for 20 steel
75 for 75 silver
270 for 10 plasteel.
150 for 10 gold.
50 for 10 uranium.
25 for 1 medicine.
70 for 5 artillery shells.
and the amount of work to do each job should be pretty quick, which i think it already is.
Thanks for the detailed reply. Yeah those numbers do look off, it looks like I may not have rebalanced them after the A14 update, so they were all against the A13 values. From memory I thing i was going with each plant being worth about $0.50 of materials.
Although the next version may have to by higher now that there is deep drilling in core to keep it competitive.
I am thinking that each OmniGel gives $1 of materials and have the Mark3 Bench be able to produce without someone having to keep working it, just fill it up and start it.
Does that sound like a good balance to you?
late edit of previous post:

so this:
40 for 20 steel

50 for 10 uranium.
25 for 1 medicine.
70 for 5 artillery shells.
and the amount of work to do each job should be pretty quick, which i think it already is.
as for making mk 3 unmanned, idk. i never had an issue with the work times (of steel). the amount of work it takes to grow and haul from grow site to the mk1/2/3 replicator is far more time consuming in comparison than the amount of time required to process the gel to steel...
i'd also request that the power cost for these replicators be adjusted to work like most vanilla stations. so... only require/draw power when in operation, instead of drawing massive amounts of power from the power grid when idle.
as of now i keep all 3 of these powered off, and only occasionally turn on the mk 2 when i get enough omni gel to keep my crafter busy for a day, then i shut it off again.
i'd also consider wanting the same functionality for the ed-more vanilla turrets 'devastator mortar', so i don't have to flick them off/on before and after each use. maybe just make them draw power when they are being "manned". not a major deal. just tedious micro management doing all that flicking.
Are you planning on updating the laser drill to version 15 anytime soon ?
Cool, I will look into changing the power requirements and do another rebalance with the latest market values.
Although from memory there was a limit to the amount you can use in a single recipe of about 70, so gold and plasteel might have to be made in smaller batches.

What are you talking about? There is a link to it on the main post, A link that has TOTALLY been there this whole time and I in no way just added right now. /s ::)
I was putting it up late at night and didn't actually have the post set up.
Basically it does what it says. You can build it for free with out research and it produces a bunch of power, I use it for testing things that need power quickly. Start a new game Drop one of those in, drop in a shield generator next to it and see if it works.
https://github.com/jaxxa/ED-CheatReactor/releases
I don't know how I could have overlooked this.
Very useful indeed.
Hey does your shield mod work with Alpha 15? Your main post said it was for Alpha 14 but the latest download for the Shield mod said Alpha 15, which one? :D

My bad, looks like I copied it from the A14 list instead of moving it. Fixed Now.
The latest ED-ShieldsBasic should be working for A15, let me know if you have any issues with it.
I have been using ED-PoweredVent, ED-ClosableVent and ReverseCycleCooler since a15 dropped and all have been working fine for me.
First off thanks for updating for α15. ED-Embrasures 03.00.00 throws up debug info about being developed for an unknown game version on startup, though. I'll see if it still works (I hope!!).
Probably just forgot to add in the about.xml or there is a typo :)
TargetVersion is still 0.15.1280. :)
Edit: I am a total and utter fool. Please ignore. The version is still 0.15.1280 but that doesn't matter. It was my fault...

I may look into it later. Do you know if the source code is available for that mod?

Seems That Isn't Avaliable But I Can Ask To The Modder If You Want.
The Problem With The Mods Sems That Pet Follow Use The Pawn Class While Animal Shields Create A New Animal Class Instead Rewritting The Original Class.
hi, i wanted to ask if yout planning updating safe traps and 24h growing in A15. my pawns have this quirk running over traps that are right before the spawnzone and while they gather the last berrys out there.
if you have a plan for adding some new traps i had some ideas for missing traps in vanilla game. ;)
Btw Great work ;D
24hr growing depends on CCL, so Jaxxa will probably have no control over when it will be updated

Hello Jaxxa,
I've just been raided by ~60 tribespeople and noticed, that the embrasures seem to provide no cover.
As far as many people use the mod, and nobody noticed that before, maybe I'm doing something wrong here.
14m1337, the embassures are not supposed to provide cover. its basicly a high fence with small holes, melee cant get through them, but ranged can shoot hrough, both your side and the opponents.
If you want cover from fire put down some sandbags on the "inner" side.
Ps. Im still looking forward for the subspace transponder update.
sandbag cover-providing variable: <fillPercent>0.65</fillPercent>
embrasure cpv: <fillPercent>0.70</fillPercent>
conclusion: the embrasure should really do the covering job better than the sandbags. maybe all my enemy tribesmen were damn lucky with their bows and pilas
the subspace transponder works fine in A15. just edit about.xml: the line containing "<targetVersion>" should for example look like this: "<targetVersion>0.15.1279</targetVersion>"
Embrasures used to provide nearly Total Coverage <fillPercent>0.99</fillPercent>
That was generally thought to be too overpowered to I was reduced to the same amount as sandbags, it looks like sandbags were increased by .05 since A14
Any idea when the Vanilla Turrets will be out for A15? I'm hurting for a more reliable defense. Thanks :)

Pretty sure More Vanilla Turrets is a standalone mod for A15 already. The original version linked in the post.

You can also decrease the accuracy of the tribesmen by roofing off the pillboxes you have and providing no light to them, darkness has a massive impact to accuracy but has no impact to the person inside the darkness
Still waiting for Plant24H...
Unfortunately that is one of the mods that are dependant on CCL being updated.
Hello Jaxxa,
I'm currently updating Superior Crafting from the last released by Abrexus (from A11) and the mod was packed with your shields in it.
Can I have the permissions to do the same in my future update please?
I intend to keep it like the original at first.
Best regards ;P
Yeah kaptain_kavern, that should be fine.
I will beholden to you, sir.
Thanks a lot :D
Hi Jaxxa, is it possible to call specific traders with the subspace transponder ? Maybe with +50% charge/call time then...
I imagine when I'm somewhere out there, and I'm doing a call like "got some stuff for trade, any traders welcome" then any trade ship may arrive. But when I say "hey exotic traders, I need some special stuff", the chance that an exotic trade will arrive next should be higher, just because the other ones may be not so interested in flying to my planet - simply because the chance for a profitable trade is much lower for them. If you understand what I mean ...
That is not possible with the current version, but I will add that to my list of things to look into for the next version.
then I guess calling different caravan types from other settlers/tribes in the comms console is hardcoded, right ? thought you could get some impression how to do it there.
nevertheless, +1 karma for you ;D
What happened with ED-Embrasures? All I can see is the source code.
Thats the right thing, download it, inside the zip you find a folder with the name "ED-Embrasures" thats the mod.
Thanks for pointing that out, not entirely certain what happened with that File.
Although Canute is right that because it is an .XML only mod you can just use the folder from source I have reuploaded the release .zip for consistency.
Q: I noticed that the A14 version of ED-Shields had a compatibility patch for Combat Realism. So, I was wondering: Will the A15 version of ED-Shields need some sort of patch to work with Combat Realism? Is it currently incompatible?

I dont recall the shields having a compat patch, but I do remember something similar about the ED-Embrasures
Not sure if it's been asked already or not, but is there any way to port colonists over to a new map, like in the stargate mod, for A15? I was looking into just copying over the character from the save file, but I haven't really tried it yet. I know I could do prepare carefully, but it's tedious.
Edit: It's very easy to copy and paste pawns over via savefile editing. Might be bugs though.

Doest it have any .dll files? If yes then it will probably need an A15 CR update first, if it's just xml files it should work, it won't hurt to try anyways :P
I have not tested it but If CR is still working the way it did the previous Alpha it will need a new patch.
With A16 coming out real soon / now do people still care for an A15 CR patch?
If so post a link to the CR that everyone is using and I will look into making a new patch.

People want an A15 update because CR is one of the biggest mods around, changes a lot of stuff and for some people (me included) it is an essential mod for this game, and

I really do
want to use CR. However, it seems the only CR available for A15 is a "test release" that lacks CCL, is rather buggy, and has proven incompatible or difficult to use with several popular mods. Myself, I'm about ready to start a new game. And I'm having a hard time deciding whether I want to deal with the issues of the current CR or if I should just wait for it to get updated for A16 (hopefully with less headaches).

Granted. But I wouldn't be surprised if we see A16 released right around Christmas. Once A16 hits, will there be much interest in maintaining mods for A15? (Myself, I think I will continue using A15 for a while, though.)

It would be awesome if it happens, and yeah, there is the feeling that some mod developers are waiting for A16 before updating anything CCL related.

This... I have actually completely skipped A14, went from A13 straight to A15 :P I had the perfect mod composition and an awesome colony I wanted to mess with first, and eventually when I finished my A13 gameplay A15 was being announced, so I waited a bit before jumping into a new version.
Hi all, long time player and lurker, don't really post or request.
The embrasures mod has become an essential part of any playthrough for me. It's the only balanced solution I've found for the large amount of enemies spawned at later levels, apart from elaborate wooden mazes with lots of doors and incendiaries at all entrances.
I love this mod, and am really enjoying alpha 16 - but it's missing something important - embrasures.
Any news on an update?
I plan to have some of the mods updated soon (before the end of this weekend), this includes the Embrasures mod.
Not certain what other mods I will update and in what order.
If you have any specific mods you want to see updated let me know and I may bump it up the list.

Hi Jaxxa,
Just to let you know, I'm using the A15 embrasures mod synched with the steam workshop and so far no problems encountered.
Thanks!
I fourth the motion, please
For me shields is the main one I'm looking forwards to.
Maybe Stargate if it's reworked to teleport between colonies (since between saves no longer seems necessary)
Just so you know your embrasures work in alpha 16 all it really needs is the target version changed in the abouts page. (as far as I know)
Just Updated:
ED-Embrasures
ED-CheatReactor
ED-LaserDrill
As always let me know if there are any issues with them.
funny thing is stargate still kinda works XD
Looking forward to a Shields update. I also miss PersonalNanoShields and SubspaceTransponder, but not sure if the A14 stuff is getting a kick up to A16. Either way, glad to see you updating ED again, Jaxxa.
Request for PersonalNanoShields to be updated. My favorite mod, has saved me tons of damaged limbs, and makes melee colonists actualy worth it.
Also if you do update it, a way to recharge the shields during caravans would be great. Some sort of natural regen, or a portable generator or something that could be uninstalled and transported and deployed on the temporary / raider maps.
Thanks a bunch man for the Alpha 16 updates that you've done so far. They are a necessity for every Rimworld game I play. Looking forward to the rest of the updates. Hey, do you do a global shield mod too?

What do you mean by "global shield mod"?
Do you have ETA on shields ? I have a fully operational mod selection for A16 and Shields would be the icing on the cake.
On a side note, embrasures and laser drill(also part of my selection :D) seem to be working fine so far. Thanks for the work you put in your mods, they are really game practical and balanced imo.
Second on ED Shields. Another one of my must have mods!! :)
I don't have permission to do this so if this is bad someone let me know.
I got ED-Shields working in A16, took a few simple edits to some method calls to account for the new map and world system. I have not extensively tested this, but instead of throwing DivideByZero exceptions it makes a shield so I'm calling it good.

Oh sweet goodness! I'm going to try it out as soon as I can get my game unscrewed. It's throwing all kinds of errors when I try to cook. Is there a way to clean out config files and stuff? Maybe I got some old Rimworld crap (A15) messing with the A16 build?

Only rimworld files in my knowledge would be wherever you downloaded the game, and the config files in appdata/locallow/ludeon. Could try deleting the contents of that folder, but you will lose all settings/saves ect.

I think I might have spoken too soon about the shield mod. Did you get crazy stuff like this? It looks like a missing texture or something:
Edit - Newp. Looks like there was a conflict with another texture maybe or the install was corrupt. I disabled the mod and then closed Rimworld. Then re-copied the files from the mod archive back into the Ed-Shield folder in Rimworld. Then re-enabled the mod and put it last on the mod load list. The textures are normal again. Whew. :)
[attachment deleted by admin due to age]
Yeah, posting a updated version is fine. Have had less time than expected. Planning to get an official update of that and a few other mods tomorrow.
Updating someone elses mod to a new Alpha is actually how I got started with modding.
Hi, when using this mod enemy ranged units don't stand off as normal, and instead try to rush the door or pile up climbing through the embrasures.
I'm not sure there's a quick fix to this ... I am also unsure if the exact same thing would happen if, say, I build sandbags in the same pattern with doors. It may be a vanilla AI bug.
Updated ED-ShieldsBasic.
Also included some new Art by Rilamus.
Any chance of a combat realism patch for the shields in a16?
Great mod by the way
I tried to refill a steam vent with the laser drill filler, it just doesn't want to sit properly on the geyser. I can put it right next to it but it won't detect the hole. Plus it has a white outline like those of the sunlamps have, I don't think that's necessary. Could it be a conflicting mod? Or is it just broken?

Haven't used CR any time recently, is this the latest version / one you want a patch for?

The Laser Filler no longer gets placed directly on a geyser. There was an issue with a geyser too close to water so you could not place a generator on it, but you also could not place a Filler on it, so now it just has to be close not directly on. When you activate and power the filler you should see the work remaining counting down.

That is the latest alright
Yep thats the one.
hello
awesome mod, use it in my mod colection, love it ^^
just wondering if this was the mod that had the embrasures that could be used as doors??
the embrasures could be retracted down in the ground and you could even toggel the embrasure effect/status to a normal wall/full wall??
whould be awesome to have that ^^

i remember that mod, it was mechanical defense 2 and not this one, and i dont think mechanical defense was updated.
also, will 24 hour plants be updated soon?
is it posable to get stargate working agin :D i kinda like story line my poeple retreat into one and pop out in a new land
i love the shields and the Embrasures. but is it just me or does the texture for the Embrasures not align properly.

Just Released a number of Updates. Including a compatibility patch for CR and Shields.
2017-01-21
* ED-CheatReactor_03.00.01
* ED-Embrasures_04.00.01
* ED-LaserDrill_04.00.01
* ED-ReverseCycleCooler_04.00.00
* ED-ShieldsBasic_04.00.00
* ED-Shields-CR_03.00.00
Do you plan on updating personal nanite shield.
Yeah, the plan is to update that.
I just want to figure out a way of charging it while in caravans or attacking a base.

A wearable 1x1 square solar power panel? xD
I want to stay away from something that just allows the shields to be regenerated.
I am thinking some type of once use Charging Station / or Crystals.
But then the question of how to balance them, how much does it cost to make, how heavy are they to carry, how much shield energy can they restore?
Don't know what's possible, but I would prefer this:
- a portable recharge station that is light and small (1x1 or 2x2, couple of KGs) that uses charge cells. Once finished it may ejects an empty cell.
- empty charge cells are crafted with plasteel/gold/uranium and components at the component assembly bench
- they need to be charged at a heavy charging station
- recharge station can carry 2(4) charge cells, 1(2) charge cell should be enough to charge a shield
- charge cells are quite heavy, 5-10 kg/cell? So a Pawn can carry a 1x recharge of his shield (for balance I would say no more than 2 recharge per pawn, otherwise use the standard shield)
I could imagine a lategame solution for droppod-raids where you have an "all-in-one" charging station that only uses a lot of power
I think most of that is possible, just will need to decide if that is how it should work.
Shields not working with Hardcore SK mod, tried with and without combat realism patch, and in different load orders, guessing it's something they've done specific to the modpack. More an inconvenience than anything, while I do like having the option, I'll get by if making a compatibility patch isn't on the to-do list.
What appears to be the issue?
Are there any errors or do the weapons just go through the shield?
I have a request:
Is it possible to "merge" the shields? Via a new shield type or a research (eg "shield harmonizing")
I run into this problem when I use 2 shields next to each other: my colonists try to shoot something through the other shield, but their shots get blocked ofc.
Not currently possible as the game is right now. That would require a rewrite of how the shields are generated. It is a possibility that I will do that, but probably not for a while.
You do well! Using Personal shield can thoroughly avoid sims's harm from battling or the things causing threat . It is a realy useful mod as well as the ed-shields . ;D I rarely type English or use it ....

I'll check again for errors, but don't recall any in initial testing. Weapons fire simply ignored the shields, as did fires. Toggling the shield settings had no effect.
Edit: And now it's working. No clue why it wasn't, earlier, I've changed nothing. Non-steam version, cause I prefer updating when I'm good n ready, not when steam wants to.
Hey Jaxxa, what detours does Plant24H use exactly? I'm of a mind to try monkeying around with the raws myself and see what I can come up with. It's actually kind of funny that that's the ED mod I miss the most from A14, even over the more flashy mods like the nanoshield. The biggest barrier to late-game large colonies for me is having a large enough food surplus, and it's often due to not being able to grow crops quick enough due to the nighttime resting.
The shields are way too cheap. I'm limiting myself to one per game for balance.
They need to require gold, uranium, plasteel as well as silver. IMO.
Could we get a version like this pretty please?
New Update for
ED-OmniGel and ED-ReinforcedStuff now A16

Ok. I tried this already. Downloaded a16 version.
I think you made really nice mod which could change coolers+heaters to coolers only.
Unfortunately, it's unavailable to use with BetterVents and BetterCoolers (which needn't to destroy wall to place coolers/vents). So I will be forced to use them.
But thank you for other your mods anyway. ;)
Had this beautiful thing happen today using the ED-Shields mod, raiders tried to drop into my courtyard
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75920383/Screenshots/Gams/Rimworld/raider%20drop%20pods%20explode.gif)
Thanks for sharing Elodie glad to know that it is working well for you :)
Added a new mod called "PhotoDay" Allows you to set a Reminder every X Hours to take a Photo of your base, alternatively it can silently take a photo whatever you are viewing at the time.
Do you have any ETA when your mods might be available for A17? I really need your embrasures and shield mod. And your embrasures mod, turret mod, laser drill, reinforced stuff, and turret control mod. You made a lot of good mods. :)
All his mod including the shield mods would have been in the game's core at the release but that didn't happen because of some license problem :/ this would have been a great addition for rimworld. Hopefully he updates it to A17
Thanks for the info on that. I'd be happy whether it was a mod or part of the game, as long as he gets credit (or money) for making the mods. I'm still playing with A16 until his shield mod is out. Actually, I use a ton of his mods but that shield mod is critical.
Been sick recently so didn't get my mods updated immediately as I would have liked to. I plan to be working on updated this coming week.
Feel free to let me know what mods you are waiting for and i will try and do the more popular ones sooner.

Not certain what you are referring to with licence problems. The developer has in the past included things from mods, including things from mods that I did such as Personal Shields, Vents, being able to close Vents and Mortars requiring shells to fire.
Just a quick note: Stole your OmniGel mod -- kinda -- and made it compatible/use another mod "Vegetable garden"
Aside from a MAD amount of recipes in the Electric Smelter, They work fine.
My Rip of your mod, is super cheaty like uber super duper OP cheaty.
1 Omnigel gives 50 of either: Steel, plasteel, gold, silver, etc...
Jade gets 100
Can also get components.
IT was the only way to get OmniGel mod back up to v.A17.
If anyone wants my "Edit" of Vegetable garden edit, let me know.
Just know, it changes NOTHING of the original mod, only adds, without overwriting any files what so ever.
Have yet to hit any problems.
I'm torn between adding the ability to get <Material> Stone blocks instead of chunks... but i don't know yet...
Tried to get the Cheat reactor to work, but i don't have enough skills to convert/upgrade the mod to work with the new A17.
Seems to missing a few things...
Currently looking into see what i can do with embrasures...
My edits are for personal use, but until Jaxxe updates some of these beautiful mods, i'm forced to attempt to steal/update them on my own.
For those who can't think that far: He deserves the credits for these mods, he came up with them after all :P
All i did was edit 'em and tried to make 'em work for A17.
So far, only managed to make OmniGel work.
And if anyone wants the edits i did for Vegetable Garden mod, let me know, but also know they are stolen from Jaxxe's mod, even the gfx of them...
OmniGel mod is freaking awesome and fun!
So is cheat reactor... though i guess Debug "Unlimited power" works the same in a way... Especially since the reactors don't cost a darn thing...
Would love to change the size of the reactors to just 1 tile instead of 4 tiles...
Will look into that when/if it ever gets updated...
Thanks Jaxxa! Really looking forward to using your mods on A17. No pressure. I'll just keep an eye on this thread and update when you update it. In the meantime I can keep using A16. :)
Hey, thanks for telling us Jaxxa.
its no small point to say your mods are a primary factor in me not playing 17 yet, lol love what you have here.
but id rather see that you get your rest and heal up, then update the mods when your really ready! have a good week and rest well.
Also, when your ready to, as response to your question.. i personaly favor these mods the most.
Most favored going from top down.
ED-Shields
ED-PersonalNanoShields
ED-ReinforcedStuff
ED-Embrasures
ED-SafeTraps
ED-OmniGel
Also, i have not been around for about 4 updates.. is ED-SubspaceTransponder not needed anymore? if i had to choose, it would be in the top three... but i get the impression that sense its not updated past 14 there is a reason for it? or has no one simply asked.

As for ED-SubspaceTransponder, mainly no one requested it, although I suppose that someone has now. :)
There is not as much as a need now as there was for it previously. Since A14 we have gotten land traders that we can trade things to as well as the ability to send out own caravans out to trade with other factions. Although none of those are reasons why it couldn't come back. Maybe change it to need you to tribute things for free to them so that they show up.
We need shields captain Jaxxa!

1. Orbital trader got a bigger wallet :-)
2. Serveral mods add special orbital traders only (robot trader MISC)
3. Orbital trader don't get attacked when a manhunter pack or raid appear at the same time.

Now on to my question;
Snooping around in your mods i came across a line of text in the Buildings_Temerature.xml in your reverse cooler mod.
What does " <fillPercent>1</fillPercent> " mean and do?
Seen it a few other times in other such things, did some googling, but found no actual answer...
2nd question: How can i increase the effectiveness of the Reverse cooler?
Would like to make it so there is a Mk2 and Mk3 with respective researches with much much more powerful coolers.
Would also make a Mk4-cheat just to be in the line of some of the mods i already got :P
*squeals like a pig*

-snip-
If you use
<recipeUsers>
<li>Table_MK1_Replicator</li>
</recipeUsers>In the recipies, there is no need to make a recipe list the workbenches look for, instead you can go backwards and add recipies dynamically and easiers with the above code.
I learned this from vegetable garden mod...
Which means i'm making a personal update to your mod to do this.
Which also means i can make my own recipes easier and faster using the recipes you already have in the mod as template for my own recipes :P
So far, i have yet to run across any problems doing this.
My suggestion; you make this transition to use this dynamic system instead.
If anything, will make modding your mod for personal uses, easier...
But that is bout all i wanted to say this time around.
Oh and great work updating the mods, and even more so, good you got better, or atleast seemingly so.
Or did you cave in to the peer pressure on updating the mods, even when still sick? if so... if i knew you real life, i'd slap your wrist with a big 2pound gummy bear :D

FillPercent is the percentage of the square that the building fills. With 1 being completely full. As far as I know it is used for Cover calculations in combat. Probably a few other things, maybe temperature leakage and casting shadows although I have not checked anything about that. Embrasures have "<fillPercent>0.70</fillPercent>" that is what makes them act like Embrasures being able to be shot through and not just walls.
For Coolers I have not tested this but it should use the "<energyPerSecond>-21</energyPerSecond>" defined in CompProperties_TempControl. You should be able to duplicate the XML and change that value. Let me know how that goes.

If you use
<recipeUsers>
<li>Table_MK1_Replicator</li>
</recipeUsers>
In the recipies, there is no need to make a recipe list the workbenches look for, instead you can go backwards and add recipies dynamically and easiers with the above code.
I learned this from vegetable garden mod...
Which means i'm making a personal update to your mod to do this.
Which also means i can make my own recipes easier and faster using the recipes you already have in the mod as template for my own recipes :P
So far, i have yet to run across any problems doing this.
My suggestion; you make this transition to use this dynamic system instead.
If anything, will make modding your mod for personal uses, easier...
But that is bout all i wanted to say this time around.
Oh and great work updating the mods, and even more so, good you got better, or atleast seemingly so.
Or did you cave in to the peer pressure on updating the mods, even when still sick? if so... if i knew you real life, i'd slap your wrist with a big 2pound gummy bear :D
Thanks, still not quite 100% but feeling better.
When I originally made the mod that method was either not available or I didn't know about it back then and havnt updated it.
Thanks for pointing that out, it is probably a good idea to change that in the next version, but might not put out a version for just that change.

Alright, well i did my own modding of the mod and went ahead and did this for the copy i got. works like a charm.
And i can even do it across mods.
For instance, i made it so i can create Bulk Energized Components for EPOE as that is a lacking function.
Would it be okay if i uploaded the changes here + the cheat version(s)?
Yeah go for it.
Either put it up in this thread or make a new thread if you like and just link back to here.
thank you for the alpha17 updates!

Just gonna post it here as it's not a full fledged mod, just edits and extra files that gets ADDED to the mod folder of the mod.
Next post (might be double post) will be the Edits of OmniGel and all the (VERY VERY) cheaty glory.
EDIT: As of this post/edit, gonna go to the store, when i get back, will post the mods/edits to my Dropbox as that's super easy for me, and once they are synched with my dropbox, will post the links to the edits/mods.
___ Update/Edits of Jaxxa's ED-OmniGel Mod By the silly Copper Boltwire ___
Jaxxa's ED-OmniGel mod (https://www.dropbox.com/s/lws1jloqiroe05w/ED-OmniGel%20a17%20WSR.zip?dl=0) - This is not needed at all. I just offer this version in case you don't want to mess with the workshop version, but still want my additions/edits.
Changes:
Workbenches USED to CALL for recipes, and if there was a typo or recipe removed, it'd spew errors.
I changed it around, so now the Recipes add themselves to the workbench, which also makes them more dynamic.
Cheat Table For ED-OmniGel v01 - Standard (https://www.dropbox.com/s/dc6nn5hrgu21rkd/ED-OmniGel-CB-Standard.zip?dl=0)
Adds a new table that requires a huge amount of omnigel poured into the creation of the 3 items "Ch" "EA" "TS" (see what i did there?) to be able to create the table.
Ch requires 100 Omnigel, and you need 11 of these for the Cheat Table. The CH recipe can be found in the MK1 Replicator table.
EA requires 100 Omnigel and 10 Ch, And you need 12 of these to make the Cheat Table. The EA recipe can be found in the MK2 Replicator table.
TS requires 100 Omnigel and 10 EA, And you need 13 of these to make the Cheat Table. The TS recipe can be found in the MK3 Replicator table.
The recipes, for the most part, requires only one Omnigel and provides you with 50 of which ever vanilla resource.
NOTICE: Textures are currently placeholders. Will/may update them later -- if I feel up to it,
or someone else who likes this Edit of OmniGel can do it for me...
Cheat Table For ED-OmniGel v01 - Standard Alt version (https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jwljzqq5tcobo0/ED-OmniGel-CB-Standard%20alt.zip?dl=0)
Requires nearly no Omnigel to create the CH, EA, TS components for the Cheat table,
little else has been changed, still need to make all 3 MK1, 2 & 3 Replicator Tables.
So yeah, this is pretty much like the standard version, but way easier to get the cheat table using this.
NOTICE: Still don't have any textures...
Cheat Table EPOE Patch (https://www.dropbox.com/s/f8xim6224ictk6v/ED-OmniGel-CB-EPOE.zip?dl=0)
Adds a recipe to make bulk (10) Energized Components in the component assembly, as it was lacking.
And adds the ability to make 50 Energized Components from 1 single OmniGel in the Cheat Table
Needs Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Engineering 2.0:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=725956940
Cheat Table Dryxsteel Patch (https://www.dropbox.com/s/8265pcdy0kmnwt1/ED-OmniGel-CB-Dryxsteel.zip?dl=0)
Allows you to make 50 of this glorious material from 1 OmniGel
Needs Dryxsteel:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=917057191
Cheat Table Ultraweave Patch (https://www.dropbox.com/s/b7xz7to957p6icf/ED-OmniGel-CB-Ultraweave.zip?dl=0)
Allows you to make 50 of this soft fabric from 1 OmniGel, a true barging if you ask a cheater...
And this one needs Ultraweave:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=916312692
How to install:
Drag or Copy/paste the "Def" and "Textures" folder on top of the "Def" and "Textures" folder from within the zips into the OmniGel mod.
Load Order:
Load last or as close to last mod on the mod list...
Now I get asked/told often to just use the Dev Menu; and those those of you, have a raspberry: pfpfpttfptptfftptptptffttppftt
But seriously tho', i find this a more fun way around to getting these materials.
And it gives my colonists something to do as well. Win Win.
Want me to make a patch/edit in the spirit of this kind for some other mod? Let me know!
Contemplating doing some for Misc. Robots... but i'm torn 50/50 on doing that.
Do you think i missed a material/fabric, also, just let me know, i'm very active in this thread, and even more so now that i now released my personal edits.
I won't do foods or items directly, just raw items and components for mods.
Besides, anyone with a bi of skill in seeing patterns can quickly get the hang of making their own edits, like i did.
One of the few easy mods to actually edit since it's just recipes.
Anyways, hope you'll enjoy these edits and see you around...
And as of posting this, will be starting streaming me playing games on Twitch from this very friday, if i can get it to work...
Games like RimWorld, Hexen (dos), Heretic (dos), Realms of the Hauning, and many many more games.
So if you'd like to watch... Just hit up Twitch.tv/CopperBoltwire

Considering that there is already a bunch of other mods doing the same thing, there really isen't a need for his Plant24H mod.
Not saying he shouldn't make it, just that there is other mods already doing this...
One mod that does it is "Static quality plus" over on the workshop. Of course there are also other mods doing this, but that was the first mod that came to mind that does this.
It doesn't appear that "I have you in my sights" has been updated. I checked and the A16 version causes raiders to never attack colonists except with melee after being attacked first. Do you have any idea if it will be updated in the near future or are you by chance working on a replacement mod so that Embrasures aren't totally OP?
I've got raiders shooting back at my colonists behind embrasures in A17 without any other mods altering their AI.

And where is the problem ?
Embrassures are just a better cover (but impassable) and enemys can shoot back.
Don't think the guy after me has a problem. Mine is that raiders don't register that my colonists exist behind embrasures.
Love the "Embrasures" mod, I've used it for a few Alpha's now. Thank you.
Hi Jaxxa, I'm also a massive fan of the embrasures mod, but at the moment, the texture looks really zoomed in for some reason. It's the same colour as the wall of the same material. but takes up a whole cell, with no 'sides' to the wall, if you know what I mean, and no black outlines. I saw on the steam branch you were trying to work on a fix, just wondering if it looks like an easy fix or not? Anything I can do to help?

Hi Jaxxa, sorry I took so long to respond, I've been really busy. I really like the new art, and as far as I can tell, it's working as it should be now :) Thanks for the quick fix :)
Seems like shields block even pods from orbital traders. One's just burned 6k silver worth of cargo.
Yep, they block any drop-pod. You should disable the shield before you trade.
It could be that the trader drop a microwave bomb at the pods, disable all your pawns because he is a disguise slaver ! :-)
Regarding the embrasures specifically: I could swear that at one point in previous versions the embrasures were good cover for your pawns to stand behind, as well as being shoot-through-able. In the current version, they seem to just be a non-passable but otherwise intangible wall. Is this a change you made intentionally, or something that happened due to other changes?
Updated ED-Embrasures:
Added Korean translation by Steam user "Coldmoon"
Added ChineseSimplified Translation by Github user "WishingLaws"

They should still provide about the same cover as sandbags do if they dont this sounds like a bug. In some previous alphas there was an issue with enemies not targeting pawns that they could not path to, so if you were totally surrounded by embrasures and doors they would never fire back. This is no longer the case in A17 and I view it as a bug when it was happening. When I need a bit of extra defense I usually invest in shield generators to cover the embrasures.

So, embrasures are broken and you have no intent to fix them. Thanks. The whole point of building a castle with murder holes is so the barbarians at the gates can't shoot back.
If you view the current implimentation as broken, then Yes I have no current plans for major changes.
I may tweek the numbers in reponce to playtesting.
Feel free to make your own mod from scratch or based on this mod if you want to not get shot back at all.
I was wondering is it possible to add your own recipes to the omni-gel mod at all?
Hoping to see A17 safe traps. Maybe with custom compability support with custom traps mod.
i was adding things to the allowed items list for the sif shield and everything was good then all of a sudden the game crashed and now i cant use your ed shields mod cause it keeps resetting my mod list which has worked for the last 200 hours
im having a very similer problem with ed shields i was also adding things to the sif shield allow list then when i tried the game it blue screened my computer and now messes with my mod order saying something about being corrupt or inconpatable
Hey randy and destructomac.
Sorry to hear that it is crashing, is this happening consistently with your modified allowed items?
If so can you please send me the file that you modified and I will have a look if i can replicate the issue.

Ok, let me know if you are still having issues after fixing those changes.
Hi! Does the embrasures mod still require a fix to get it working in a balanced way? I have seen some indication that the a17 update has fixed this natively, but no confirmation.
Hi Jaxxa! Just wondering what code exactly keeps ranged weapons from working in a personal shield... I've been poking around in the files, but I can't figure it out for my life (and sanity). I want to make a personal shield mod for my Sith Lord and his Stormtroopers, in our quest to build a benevolent Empire on the Rim. So far I can't seem to find a single working range-enabled personal shield mod for A17, and I am saddened greatly by this. Did A17 make ranged shield belts impossible?
Mechanoid Tech adds a personal shield that the pawns can shoot through.
dang.. i didn't realized that this modder has created a stargate mod... too bad it seems to have a bug where your social relations reset each time you use a stargate...
Well, I just tried the mechanoid tech mod, and it won't even generate a map so I can start a new colony... Probably an issue with one of my other mods, but I want those, and I still have no idea what it would take to make my own personal shield belt edit. I have this terrible feeling that I'd have to mess around in DLLs, and I know nothing about them, so it's rather daunting. Thanks for trying though, Dellamorte!
Is there an eta on an a17 version of the personal nano shields and animal shields mods as well as turret control?
Does the ED-Shield mod work with modded weapons? Such as from rimsenal? RT's Weapons and SNS? Because i tested it and it appears it doesn't work...
Edit: Nvm it does work, needed to restart the game..

From my experience while it does work on modded weapons, anything using the combat extended mod won't, the projectiles just bypass the shield entirely.
Hey Jaxxa, would it be fine if I posted a patch for ED-Shields so it shields the ship part modules? I'll link the thread to your thread and give full credit to you. :)
Go for it.
Save Our Ship Patch
Enhanced Development Shields Mod
Hey all! All this patch does is allow S.I.F Shields to support Save Our Ship modular beams and airlocks.
Full credit to Jaxxa for even creating such a possibility

How would people prefer I handle the New Alphas on Steam?
After the Official Release update the existing Entry of mods to the new release as I have been doing previously.
Or Create a new Mod Entry for each Alpha.
I thought about it and I dont have a strong preference right now, so I figured I would put up the poll and see what everyone prefers.
So feel free to comment and vote in the Poll.
Since it is on steam i don't care.
But from some other thread i know you should create a new mod entry at the workshop.
Because when you update the A17 mod to A18 at the same entry, people which still play A17 currently geting a corrupt safegame, and can't even go back to the old mod version.
Since steam allows for separate tagging for each version, I'd think it'd be best to create a separate mod for each version, allowing you to tag each one for the target version (allowing for players who prefer an earlier version to search for version specific mods), and also would make it less likely that the mod would be mis-tagged.
So, I ended up having an issue in my game that explosions were passing through my embrasures and blowing up my SIF shields. I ended up editing my Shields xml file and adding this tag to the ShieldBase.
<stuffCategories>
<li>Metallic</li>
</stuffCategories>
<costStuffCount>75</costStuffCount>
Makes the Shields more expensive, but I can now make them out of other materials like Plasteel (or in my case, Alpha Poly!), rather than just Steel. This did require me to use the Debug mode to delete the existing shields, as the colonists could not deconstruct the shields created before I made the change.
Anyway, thank you for these mods!
Hello, I don't want to be rude, but have you had a chance to look at updating for B18? I saw your poll, but didn't know if you'd made a decision!
I don't use Steam myself so I can't really vote.
I have started updating some of my mods and are getting the first few ready for release.
For steam I am planning to stick to updateding the same entry as I have in the past.
Also I am planning to create a new release thread for the B18 versions of the mods, so I will get this thread moved to outdated and and throw a link to the new one at the end here when the new one is up.
Nice to see you back o7
Thing is, since Steam will auto update games to the newest update unless you choose not to, there's no reason not to have workshop items be the same
You can choose not to autoupdate the maingame, even even use older version.
But so far i know you don't have these option for mods.
If you still like to play A17 (like many do) and the mod get updated to B18 you might don't be able to keep playing.
Any news on ED's updates for A18? Most important one to me is shields but I use almost all of his mods.
Thanks kavern, its good to be back.
@asquirrel I have been working on updated for a number of the mods and plan on uploading what I have done tomorrow. I have not finished with Shields yet but hopefully I can finish that up and include it with the ones i put up Tomorrow.
Wow Jaxxa, that's really great news. I'll tell ya without your shields or embrasures mod the game is just horrific in terms of the injuries my team suffers. So glad you made those mods. They're all good but those are indispensable. Not even going to try A18 until those mods are ready and installed. :)
I have made the new thread and released the first of the mods here:
