[MOD] (Alpha 5) BetterPower+ (V5.0.0): Updated 16/07/14

[Architect]

Merci pour le Mod, super travail !

Merci Beaucoup (GCSE French FTW)

do you think you can make a industrialrim compatible version?

read the middle

Yeah, I would love to work on some compatibility stuff, but I have exams, my mod is constantly changing at the moment in core ways, his mod is constantly changing in core ways; it's just not possible to do at the moment I'm afraid :/ However, that does not mean it will never happen, just probably not before alpha 4 or even 5.

Haha yehh as much as it looks wierd i dont use much mods, think that armory was the biggest on i instaled at all.
I would appriciate if you would do that vido

Sorry, been busy lately, and been playing a different game a lot more, even hosting a server on it xP  So haven't had much time for Rimworld lately.  I always thought the mod was pretty self explanatory and all, but I guess not.  I can try to make a wiki of it soon enough, when not so busy.

There's already a wikia XD I just need to update it, which I will be doing very soon, so no need to worry about that Though, I could do with a mod showcase if you get the time? Show off the features and then maybe do a play through or something?

CHarged wire won't burn anyone for some reason (there is  power on) :C Bug, or too many mods glitch?

I love this mod Architect, but there is one thing in it that i do not like lol, and thats the event where the crashed piece of junk starts to erupt and lightning strikes randomly everywhere. What iv'e noticed is the lightning can strike thru roofs and rock, would it be possible to make it so the lightning cannot strike through roofs or rock?.

Cheers!

Already fixed for the update I'm working on currently Unfortunately all my exams are now, so development for the mod has slowed down to basically a feature a week, but I'll be posting here when any major changes come along.

I have a question about coal burning: Is coal a resource? How do I get it? I never saw coal in the game before.

Coal is added by BP+ You need to mine it or purchase it from passing traders.

Ok, how do I recognize stone blocks which can be mined for coal? Are they coloured like the ones for metal?

you need to out a coal miner (research drilling) on a steam giser and wait for coal to pop out

On the topic of compatibility is it possible to strip betterpower down to just its story events like the random artifact crash etc until industrial mod compatibility is possible?

Sure, just delete everything out of the thingDef folder you want removed, and leave what you like

Yay, it works! Also noticed that the coal doesen't pop up on a tile next to the miner, but due to my feeders are just 2 tiles away from the miner the coal directly pops out in the feeders sparing my colonists the unnecessary hualing work. That's a neat feature.

Thanks, I had that idea but I was worried it would just break. The little programming I know is mostly java but most things always depend on some other file lol

So in Misc.xml in the Thingdefs folder I just delete everything apart from -<ThingDef ParentName="BuildingBase">

<defName>EnginePart</defName>

<eType>BuildingComplex</eType>

<label>Unidentified object</label>

and its ending /Thingdef?


and everything apart from misc.xml in that folder?

Then all folders apart from incident defs?

Okay after reading through misc.xml again I realised that the unidentified object ISNT the object that crashes and creates the plasma storm so is that item that crashes defined in your .dll? Does that mean I just need to delete everything inside the defs folder apart from incidentdefs?
