Introduction

The main idea for this mod is to increase the ability to craft advanced items and introduce some new advanced weapons, items and buildings without breaking the game or deviating too much from the vanilla version.
I'm open to constructive criticism regarding the balancing.

This mod can be added to any savegame and should work with most mods (see list below). Removing it from a savegame will result in errors though. If you want me to check a specific compatibility just post or pm.

If you encounter any bugs please report them. I will fix them as soon as possible.

Full Mod with all features present:

Version with reduced feature list but optional addon-ons so you can pick what features you want (All these mod can also be found at NexusMods):

Content

Ship crash event
A new event, which spawns a quest opportunity to go and explore a spaceship crashsite.
The crashsite features three potential layouts with chances for high rewards but also grave danger. You might not be the only ones sending an armed caravan to explore the crashsite.
There is also a chance for a mechanoid hive ship crash including more mechanoid forces and more advanced/special loot.

Psychic emitter event
An ancient psychic emitter reactivated and is sending a powerful drone. Go out and destroy it or endure the drone until it shuts down again.

Doctor request event
Similar to the peace talk a doctor is requested to a nearby site. Sending a good doctor might result in an increase of goodwill.

Trade fair
Some caravan traders are gathering nearby to trade. Go out and trade with multiple caravans at once.

Infested ship chunks
Bugs from space! Some infested ship chunks fall down near your colony. They act like normal insect hives and will even reproduce.

Hunting lodge
Get the location of a nearby hunting lodge. Facilities for sleeping, cooking and butchering are already present as well as a herd of animals to hunt.

Thrumbo sighting event
A new event, which spawns a quest opportunity to go to a site near you colony where a herd of thrumbos is gathering. You might hunt and kill them or try to tame them. A hostile faction might have send a hunting party too, which will attack you.


Matterweaver

  • Print luciferium
  • print sensory or fibrous mechanite injector
  • print healer and resurrector mech serum
  • print lazarus injector - mechanites that heal a pawn if he gets downed
  • print pain gun (non-leathal gun)
  • print 3 different gauss weapons (gauss lance, rifle and bulletstorm)
  • print plasma gun
Fabrication bench

Refinery

  • Refine neutroglycerin into chemfuel
  • Refine neutroglycerin into neutroamine

Boomalopes and Boomrats now give neutroglycerin instead of straight up chemfuel

Devilstand is now growable in hydroponics

Mind Altering Device - Don't like your traits? Get new ones using this marvelous technology. Side effects may include but are not limited to pyromania, cannibalism, dementia and death.

Bombardment satellite pod - Can be constructed at a pod launcher. Will spawn a orbital bombardment targeter when launched.

Glitterworld hospital bed - Like the normal hospital bed but even better. Pawn will heal quicker and there is a higher chance for a successfull treatment.

Compact nuclear reactor - Don't confuse with fusion. This nuclear power plant turns boring uranium into precious power. Warning: Consumes a lot of uranium and damage might lead to detonation.

Computingsystem - Addon for the High-tech research bench to research Glitterworld technologies.

Three new kinds of traders

  • Glitterworld trader - sells advanced items like adv components, rail guns and AI cores
  • Farming trader - sells everything farming related from meals, raw food, fertilized eggs to lifestock like cows and pigs
  • Mining goods trader - sells all mineable resources like uranium, gold, jade, stone blocks, etc. and buys drugs

Blue Moon Corporation - New faction of hightech spacers spawning harder raids with slightly better equipped raiders

Patches (already included in the mod)

Genetic Rim - creatures from that mod produce neutroglycerin instead of chemfuel.

Medic Addons - allows to link the glitterworld hospital bed to the addons from the mod.

Jelly farm - makes the infested ship chunks drop hive parts so they can be used to create jelly farms.

Survival Tools - makes the multitool from the mod craftable after researching a Sparkling Worlds research

Explosives Table

  • Make mortal shells
  • Make frag or EMP grenades as well as molotov cocktails
  • Make Triple or Doomsday rocket launchers
  • Make new EMP grenade launcher

This alone makes me interested in the mod.

thank you for making this mod.

can you add a section on first post - does it work with glittertech ( mod ), remote explosives, veg garden etc etc...

can you add the Chemfuel power generator as its own mod ?

I updated the first post. The mod should work with most popular mods right now since I'm not changing to much of the core game and don't have any assemblies right now. This will probably change in the future at which point I might split the mod into several parts and one full version.
If you have any specific mod lists you want me to check compatibility please send them to me or post them I will do my best to test them and make them compatible.

In regards to the chemfuel generator:
As mentioned above I might split up the mod in the future but this might take a few weeks. However if you just want the chemfuel generator I recommend a quick search in the forum which will turn up other mods with just a chemfuel generator like: Diesel generator
If however for some reason you dislike my chemfuel generator and want it removed from the mod: Just don't build it  ;)

how much power is ur chemfuel / nuclear power plants ?

The chemfuel generator produces 1.600W with a consumption rate of 14 chemfuel per day.
Not the most efficient one out there but as I mentioned above you don't have to build it. You could install a second mod with a more efficient generator and still use and enjoy this mod.

Same goes for the fission reactor: 9.000W with a consumption rate of 15 uranium per day.
One should be enough to power a decently sized vanilla colony. Build additional geothermal plants or a second reactor and all your energy needs should be met.


I also did some tests with your mentioned mods and updated the list in the first post accordingly. All the mods should work fine without issue with my mod. If you run into any problems or errors please report them.

Albion

I updated the mod to include 2 new ranged weapons buildable with the 3D printer.

There was also a bug that caused the computingsystem to disappear after it was being build which is now fixed.

Additionally I added two new types of orbital traders:
Glitterworld - sells more exotic items and body parts than the exotic trader but doesn't buy art
Farming - sells a lot of animals (with low wilderness) as well as raw food and some meals

SpaceDorf

I found something to complain about  ;D

Please include the named root folder of the Mod into your zip-file.
It is common practice for Rimworld mods and prevents overwriting and sudden appearences of Def Folders.

My common practice is to collect new mods and upgrades on the forum,
bulk extract them in a temporary folder
and than check wich mods I have to replace/upgrade and which are new.

Opening the about file, to find out which mod is now scattered across my temp folder, removing it and then extract-as to create a named folder for it is just annoying.

Done.

Sorry for not catching that but I never actually tried to download the file myself :o

I also recently updated the graphics so enjoy those. I'm currently working on the additional faction of hightech corporate soldiers.
Basically slightly harder raids but with higher rewards since the spoils of war go to the winner/survivor.

The textures for this mod don't load by default. The cause appears to be the texture folders' names not being capitalized, as fixing that made them load for me.

Albion

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner but I was busy and didn't see your post.

Are you refering to all textures not loading properly or are there specific ones?
I just double checked and at least in the lastest version of the mod this problem does not exists.
Maybe you have a slightly older version. Re-downloading should fix this then and you might even get better textures (they were updated recently) and some additional features. Re-downloading will NOT break your savegame. All new versions are compatible with old savegames.

Thank you for using my mod. Enjoy it.

_syntaxera_

With Rimworld 17b no textures are loaded
eg. "Things/Building/MatterweaverSW" won't load because the path is "things/Building/MatterweaverSW"
I assume it was a Rimworld change from 17a

Albion

Did you try downloading the latest version of this mod?
Does the problem still exist then?
I did tests with A17b and there were no issues but maybe I missed something. However at least on my end the current Dropbox download features capitalization of both the folder names and the paths in the file or am I wrong and going crazy?  :o ;D
Please try and download the latest version and try again. It will work fine with any previous Savegames.
