Hey y'all,

This is just a simple patch (anyone could make it, really) for Gaesatae's and JuliaEllie's great mods Priority Haul and Vein Miner, respectively.

While this patch is extremely simple, some people may not know where to go/what to do to get the two mods to work show up in the designators tab.

Note, this does NOT include either of the two mods, for those go here:
Priority Haul by Gaesatae
Vein Miner by JuliaEllie

I take no credit for anything associated with either of the two mods.  This mod is just a simple menu patch.

Load More Designators *after* Vein Miner and Priority Haul.


100% compatible with Alpha 8 and Alpha 9.  Best OOB experience to-date!  etc.

Yes, without any alteration, any mods which alter the designators tab ("Orders") will block each other and the last one loaded will show.

This means that Vein Miner will block Haul Priority and Haul Priority will block Vein Miner.  The mods aren't incompatible, they just lack each others menu, hence this small patch.

You could easily do this on your own and some people probably did in some form on their own.  This is for people want both but don't know how to do it.

"Updated" to Alpha 9.

Kid Tested.  Mother Approved.  (Not of this product, however.)

Ok to ask the dumb question, how do you get this to work? Is it a mod or replacing a file somewhere in the mods?

Easy and intended:  Install it exactly like a mod *after* you install Haul Priority AND Vein Miner so that More Designators is loaded AFTER those two.  I recommend using either EdBModOrder and/or RW Launcher.

Harder and just as workable:  Copy the one real file which More Designators provides, replacing the same file in either (not both) Haul Priority or Vein Miner, which ever is *last* in your load order.  Delete more Designators.

Since this is a menu PATCH, it MUST be loaded AFTER the mods it's patching.  Common sense?  Simple logic?  How is this even coming up?


There is nothing wrong with this mod patch!  It works for Alpha 8 and Alpha 9.  Period.

Given that it is new users on the forums who are having "issues," I would suggest that said new users simply haven't done the steps required to resolve their own issues, namely, read forum stickies, read the game wikis, read the help and troubleshooting forums, common sense.

That's because there was no actual change needed for Alpha 9 so I didn't reupload to change the about.xml to say, "Alpha 9."  Rest assured, it works in Alpha 8 and 9.

Having problems between vein miner and priority haul. If i load them both in different orders, they both conflict each other in some way. If i load vein miner first then vein miner will show and vice versa with priority haul. So i can only choose one of these during game play.

Got it to work. Just replaced the Designations file in the 2nd of the two mods that was loading. Thanks for putting this together. You know instead of knocking us newbies to the forums for asking questions, maybe take it as a good thing that we felt it worth making our first posts in your thread. It is a pretty easy explanation for how to fix, instead of criticizing folks for not reading whatever else you think they should have read or know.
