Introducing the next version of the "Galactic Meat Trader" mod, the "Galactic Trader" mod.



This mod pack is a major upgrade from the original "Galactic Meat Trade" and is back compatible with any saved maps using the "Galactic Meat Trade" mod.
Please note a few changes which will happen when upgrading from an older save:


  • It require more points to research space crates. You will have to research a few more points to re-unlock the crate handler if you had it unlocked.
  • Also the crate handler now requires power, but does not get damaged in the rain.
  • Once saved a map can not return to the "Galactic Meat Trader" version.

So what is in this mod:

  • A load of new ships types to trade with including mining and cannibal ships.
  • 4 new work benches, the stasis crate handler, the medical lab, the space fuel enricher and the heavy ammo press.
  • 4 new research projects, one for each bench.
  • 8 new crates, agave, berries, potatoes, muffalo, boomrat, squirrel, human and space fuel.
  • All food is protected from being eaten while in a crate.
  • Make built in game items, missiles, shells and medicine.
  • All the benches can be built outside apart from the space fuel enricher.
  • All the benches require a power supply.

I am currently in talks about making a synth meat version of this mod pack!

If you enjoy this mod or wish me to make version compatible with your own mod, please feel free to comment, I am also open to suggestion to improve this mode.

If you use our mods in any youtube videos, we would love to see your video, we have already seen a few videos out there with our mods in!

You can follow our current creation just as they are coming out on our facebook page.

Yes, thanks for the artwork, would you like to make an art pack for this mod? I will put it up as a official download on our website and facebook, and in this post.

I was looking for something a bit more of a space cargo look. This mod now uses metal and requires power to make the crates. The reason I called them stasis crates in this version is because I was thinking of some space age packing system that freezes the contents in time.

I hope you enjoyed the last version, I have added quite a bit more to this version. I also look forward with working on synthmeat with you.

Possibly. I need to know exactly what you need.

Reason I did the look I did was because the game is based on Firefly to a great degree. I believe the whole stasis thing is a bit beyond the tech level as presented for the game.

As for the crates themselves I was thinking that they flat pack. They're basically 6 panel box assembled and then stripped apart when unloaded.

Though Honestly we could make it so unpacking them and building them requires different buildings.

Packing and unpacking, you just need to build an packing area and have an unused crate.

The crate press is basically a mold that creates new crates from metal...

As for the white area on the boxes, well, that's the area that you use to indicate what it is. Just recolor it according to your needs in Gimp.

How do these look?

And unpacking bench, a basic crate, and a injection mold for making crates from cast metal.

The look good but will require a different way of doing this mod. I might have to look into this way, but at the moment i have 1 or 2 other projects i am working on

Found a typo or something.  :P
         <li>
            <itemDef>Metal</itemDef>
            <dropPriceModifier>Cheap</dropPriceModifier>
            <amountMin>500</amountMin>
            <amountMax>100</amountMax>
         </li>

Look closely at min and max.  crate_miner_slave_2.xml
I'm modding all your files to make some better traders that are compatible with other mods.  :P  A and deleting some of your duplicate traders that just give extra amounts of stuff.  That's why I noticed it.
Click to see my steam. I'm a lazy modder who takes long breaks and everyone seems to hate.

Any chance this and/or the future glorious mod will end up on the Nexus?

Mediafire is nice enough but I don't exactly like using a website where the download gets blocked by Malwarebytes.

Mod does look interesting though.

jamieg

Thats strange? blocked as malware, you can just turn your settings to allow it....Mediafire may possible be the most trusted, popular uploading site, but yes when e release Unknown World most probs :)

Could you at least give a reason for this?
You see this tank?

This tank is the epitome of "I'm going to destroy you"


This tank can make Chuck norris cry.

All hail the Takemikazuchi.
