I just came to ask if you were considering any new mods for the pack ?

But I guess you're busy playing dota :\

lol does anyone else watch the % go up on this thread like they watch an ingame job being done? haha it reminds me of it.

Can't wait.

Right-Clicks hurry the fuck up pawn. Did you have to go all the way across the map or something ?

Thank you!

Glad to see SOMEONE is spending their work time productively.

YOU ALL COULD LEARN SOMETHING HERE.

Can you put a link up for the old alpha 7 files still ?

Probably will be a while before people really move to 8 due to waiting for mods.

All good, I'm still messing around with A7 anyhow myself until more mods get updated.

I touched on this before, but am wondering about xml configuration of the hordes themselves, so users could change the size/timing of them to suit their game/mods etc?

One thing I wanted in this, not sure if it's possible or too hard or what.

When you click on the actual name of the trait window you can get the whole list of traits come up - awesome.

Can we get that same function for the clothing ?

Spot the guy who didn't realise that if you open one, they all open. First thing I do is go poking around and see the "open" Option... sure lets have some of that.

Save me piggy!

Yeah, that colony was forked, about 5 minutes in, possibly a new personnel best.
Do Cryo sleep pods ever disgorge friendlies?

I had a similar experience and yes they do. I found 3 pods, due to earlier "issues" I only had a single colonist left. I opened the pod and 2 had unconscious blue-named people, and a 3rd had an enemy. Also 3-4 scarab beetle things popped out of the one I opened, they beat on him and then the red named guy shot him in the head and killed him

Kind of surprised so many people choose based on combat skills. I try and get non-sucky traits, then I tend to go for stuff like growing, crafting and medicine.

I play with TTM usually, so high crafting is a necessity.

@Fifty Foot Ant - Prison meals are the same priority as simple or fine meals.  The thing is, your colonists should technically never eat them if you're only delivering those meals to stockpiles in prison cells (at the same time, if you have some kicking around, they're still good to eat).  Also, yes, it's safe to use with a running save.

@thefinn Alpha 8 was only just released yesterday.  Still, I do plan to update because of the meal priority thing.  Not sure what you mean about nutrient paste though.  The latest version for A7 ranks nutrient paste alongside simple meals in terms of meal quality - this means that so long as the nutrient paste dispenser isn't reserved by too many colonists, they should choose nutrient paste over survival meals.  I had to drop the 'NutrientPasteIsOK' from the filename because it was getting unwieldy, but that's still a feature.

Awesome thanks I wasn't sure. Coulda sworn my guys were eating the rations instead of paste in A7, I might have a look again later (if so, could easily be an unrelated issue).

Well... unless you already got the research that gives you the comms console you're screwed...

You could - if you did get that research - grab a computer terminal from a trade caravan possibly and then throw down one of the large research tables instead.

See if we could get TTM updated to A8 it'd fix your problem too.

A quick update: unfortunately, it was sort of bad timing with the alpha 8 release for me.  I didn't have time to look at it at all until tonight.  I took a first pass on upgrading the mod just to figure out how much effort it's going to take.  It's actually a little worse than I expected, but I still plan on getting a new release out sometime this weekend.  Along with alpha 8 compatibility, the new release will also include a couple of small new features that I've been sitting on for a couple of weeks.

I appreciate the patience.  I also have trouble playing the game without the mod, so believe me when I say that I have plenty of motivation to finish updating it!

Awesome, have you noticed the new button for stockpiles etc? The one where you can turn off/on all items at once ?

Possible to add this functionality to the crafting table interface screen ?

For the traders: You don't need a Com console, but you need a trade beacon to mark the tradable resources..

Thank you it works!

Any idea for my issue with the oil extraction?

How does work the oil extraction? I cannot place the extractor on the oil field, it says that the place is already occupied

Do NOT floor around the oil spot - the oil refinery won't go on it after you do.

Place the refinery, then floor around it.

(Hard lesson learned on that one).

I'm testing out an Alpha 8 version of this mod.  A few of the annoying incidents are no longer as annoying (can be worked around) or as frequent as they were in Alpha 7, which is nice.

Just to let you know, that's all.

Awesome, glad you did, as I was about to ask if it were coming to 8

Also +1 for Tynan just making this the default interface!

I really wish he would, but I made a thread the day A8 came out just going "I wouldn't mind if you made the next update all about fixing lots of little things"... you know the little things that annoy the crap out of you in the game - like the interface, or the lack of "select/unselect all" buttons in the crafting interface etc etc.

And his answer basically equated to "What problems?"

I was like
