In order to get turrets to show proper size with update 0.5.6 you don't need a new save, but you will have to rebuild any existing turrets.

Mhm mod seems enjoyable so far tho i never make it to most of the research i end up dying to manhunting packs of boomrats quite often lately. Tho might wanna look into the trading value of the mod as there seems to be items that cost 0.50 silver or less i remember seeing the nanite pants costing about that much when i bought it from a trader

I'm glad your enjoying the bare bones versions!

I believe you are playing the older, 0.2.8 version which didn't have market values for items finished yet, so yes in that version some items will have a market value of 0.5 silver. However if you update to 0.4.8, all market values have been completed and should make alot more sense!

The only reason I didn't do this earlier was because I wanted to balance out the economy of the crafting system before giving large items their proper values.

Sadly I think you misunderstood my main wish here : Don't make a all-in-one mod but create a mod-series with subsets.

I have considered making Malfunction into smaller mods, but I really envision needing everything to complete the experience I'm looking for.

For example.. If I were to make the creatures and weapons seperate mods one wouldn't really work without the other, sure you could use a different mod that adds other weapons instead but they wouldn't be balanced properly to combat those creatures, and it would result in a way too easy or too difficult playthough. Also how would you craft the new weapons? This would force you to have to remove the crafting system as well, and once you do that you can no longer build everything else.

Also making this mod into smaller pieces would require a vast amount of work. I have no problem doing this if there is a significant gain, but I don't see that at the moment.

I am open to discussing this further incase there would be a way to do this while maintaining balance and a good overall experience.

I just remembered the Glitterworld mod, which adds to much stuff at once for my taste. ( without telling my what, which is the deadliest sin of modding ! )

I think the best solution for this is to create a wiki or a detailed item list post.

Possible bug~~~~

I can't seem to find an option or way to repair a broken left tibia.

I have another colonist with broken ribs and i have the option to repair those.

Since replacing the entire leg should be a solution to not being able to repair the left tibia its not a show stopping bug. However i do believe you intend this to be able to be repaired. It could be something I'm not seeing in how to repair this, i assume its like repairing ribs so if this is not the case let me know.

Thanks, Vlyxnol.

So for the love of my sanity please don't push all that stuff in one mod .. make sensible parts like Jecrell with Chtullhu and StarWars or the RimSenal Mods ( which allready offers some of your features )

You are correct, you could collect a bunch of different mods to accomplish most of, if not all of whats offered here, and I would love to reduce the overall amount of work in my mod by doing this and just add unique things. However the problem with this technique is balancing, I would have no right to balance anything in other people's mod and they would most certainly clash against each other when dealing with resource, damage, or armor amounts.

My goal with this mod is to offer a well balanced mod that adds content and endgame longevity, and unfortunately this can only be done if we reinvent some of the wheel. Now with this being said, I am doing my best to stay out of certain areas with other mods in mind, and will balance this mod to work together with theirs, Hospitality and Rah's Bionics are the two I've chosen thus far though I expect to have others recommended and added to that list.

If you have any more specific mods you think should just be recommend and not effectively remade in this mod please let me know and I'll take a look.

Thank you SpaceDorf for your feedback.

Hello I'm the author of the WIP mod, Malfunction.

https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=33053.msg336815#msg336815

We are looking for a couple of artists to join our team! We have a variety of artwork that needs to be done before we get to a Release Version. I have tried my hand at doing Artwork and I make a mean stick person, but outside of that I have no special touch for this work.

If you are interested in Joining our Team or simply have questions about the Artwork needed Please Feel Free to send me a PM!

Thanks, Vlyxnol.

IM HYPED FOR THIS

That's great to hear! We're about 95% to the first playable version, just waiting on the first batch of artwork to get finished and i'm wrapping up some other minor coding. I don't expect any of the custom sound to make it in the first version, but Mellow is working on it!

Unfortunately I don't know how fun the first version will be without most of the artwork in the game, but it will be functional and it should be enough to get started on balancing and we will continue to add more intricate features as we begin the march to a Release Version!

Feedback:
We are looking for any and all Feedback!

Since its still early in the development we're looking for any Feedback, but particularly looking for; reporting of bugs, reporting of typos, suggestions in naming things differently, changing of descriptions, balance changes, ideas for features in general, ideas to change current systems, ideas to increase difficultly using a separate base mechanic, and the overall feel of the current mechanics.

You have made changes to the mod that don't follow the design philosophy or overall vision for Glittertech, and you did it without permission or discussion with me. So, I'll have to say no. You can do whatever you want with your local version, so long as it remains local, it makes no difference to me, but the public version will stay as is.

Please keep in mind that I have no intention of discouraging an active modder for this community. Of course I'm not giving you permission to upload changes to my mod, but perhaps you could shift your efforts to creating a new mod from scratch, with your own ideas.

I understand your decision and respect it, I have not made it public nor will do so in the future as you have requested.

I was only looking to help if you desired it, and I was not intending to receive credit.

Good luck with Glittertech its a good mod and it sounds like your overhaul will make it better.

Vlyxnol

Changed BodyParts both Tracks to <li>MovingLimbCore</li>, trackchain to <li>MovingLimbSegment</li>, and wheelsystem to <li>ManipulationLimbCore</li>

I apologize in advanced if some of this is not purely feedback,

Difficulty: Extreme
Scenario: Lost Tribe (Though I brought chicken's instead of random pet)
Storyteller: Phoebe
Terrain Type: Desert


I really wanted to see how tough a desert playthrough would be in alpha 17, and overall it was quite tough and I did have to do some scumbag reloads to get through it. However overall it was very fun and alpha 17 is shaping up very nicely.

Early on my chickens and people almost ate me into oblivion, but I think they are quite viable. They do still eat alot of food and are no where near worth it compared to hunting, but in the desert meat is scarce and the chickens did work to provide meat.

I didn't get alot of early settlers joining and at one point had 8 prisoners which really strained my food and one particular prison break was pretty crazy. However we eventually recruited most of them and got to a healthy population.

I had alot of caravan requests early that I could in no way fill, they would ask for specific food types that I could not fulfill in time so I accomplished literally none of them. Maybe if caravan requests were asking for just "food" instead of a specific food it might be more manageable. It seems odd from a story standpoint that a starving city would want a specific food instead of just any ole type.

I had a few stash's of which I did two, and let me tell you was it a fun and rewarding experience. I think bandit outposts and stashes are an amazing addition to Rimworld, you guys really did good with this. I really liked the base designs as well, they were challenging and felt like puzzles to be figured out.

The only thing I feel torn about is trading, at the moment there is a 50% multiplier when selling and 150% when buying, which feels really gimmicky and cheap as the player. I feel ripped off on every deal and I have no option to get a better one. However I really do like the pace of the economy now, it feels difficult and fun. The only idea I have here is to give the trading caravan or faction base its own negotiator to hide some of these numbers behind him and give them a bit of randomness so the player can shop around or take advantage of better prices.

PS: We had to get into the business of making and distributing PCP (flake) in order to make enough money which always leads to fun!

All in all, Great job on Alpha 17!

[Never]

Code Select Expand

namespace Verse
{
public enum Tradeability : byte
{
Never = 0,
Sellable = 1,
Stockable = 2
}
}

Never tradeable. Traders won't sell this nor buy it.
Sellable by the player, e.g traders will buy this item. They will however not generate this item in their stock.
Stockable by traders, e.g they will buy and sell this item.

When deciding which items the player can sell (left side of the trade screen), the game chooses items with tradeability (which is a number, basically) that is not Tradeability.Never (!= 0) which in this case means it has to be Sellable (1) or Stockable (2).

When generating stock, the game chooses items with tradeability equal to Tradeability.Stockable (== 2).

Thank you Alistaire! This is what i suspected but I wasn't 100% sure. I've been trying to limit certain custom items from being stockable, and this information + <tradeTag> should allow me to do that.

<movementCostMultiplier>0.5</movementCostMultiplier>

Wondering why all roads have this same 0.5 multiplier? Shouldn't better roads be easier to travel on? I'm not saying they should be drastically different, maybe the best road be 0.35 and the worst be 0.65?

Also has anyone seen how to make roads ourselves? At the moment i'm assuming its not implemented but maybe I missed something.

Flagstone vs Tile costs?

I'm kinda curious why these would cost the same amount. I like the fact that flagstone produces fast, but shouldn't it also be cheaper in cost? I know beauty is neutral for it compared to the 1 for Tile, and that offsets the construction speed, but shouldn't the fact that you can't remove it for resources have an offset as well?

Also doesn't the slower construction speed of Tile allow for skill gain faster? I would think construction cost and construction speed should directly correlate so you gain the same amount of skill per resource spent.
