Miscellaneous 'CORE'


This contains various core functions for other Miscellaneous parts.
It must be loaded before the other parts!


It also comes with the following functions/items:
Colonist Keys: Place/Group
   This allows you to use the keys 6, 7, 8, 9 to create teams
   The key 0 releases all drafted colonists, BACKSPACE jumps randomly into your colony
   (Note: This needs a new colony to work; the keys can be reconfigured)
BrainPals
   Some brain implants to enhance your colonists
   (an idea from 'Old Mans War')


Misc.  Bees 'n' Honey

Build beehives where you can harvest your very own honey.
You need to research 'beekeeping'. Once done look out for wild beehives to find a queen bee which can be transferred to your own beehive.
With your beehives you can grow new queens to expand your hives. They will also produce honey for you to eat or sell.
Alternatively you can brew mead (honey-wine) from the honey.


Misc.  EndGame

Do you think your base is done? You have nothing more to do, but you don't really want to leave the planet?
Why not try to get your own town charter via martial law instead? Here is your option for this...

Additional Descriptions:
- Mobile AI
Mai is a researchable and buildable mobile artificial intelligence.
You need to research the basics, how an ai is programmed and how to build a mobile body for her. After you've done this you can build the automatic assembler (1), where most of the body will be produced automatically. After the assembler built your first ai body, you can activate it (2), as long as you have a crafting professional (level 9) to do so.
Note: Once Mai (3) has been awoken, she won't allow further access to her programming, so denying you the abillity to upgrade her. Because of this, you should research everything, that you want for her to know, before hand.
Your Mai has, because of her metal body, a higher damage tollerance. She doesn't need to eat. But she does need to recharge her internal batteries.
Caution: Once her damage is too high or even when her batteries are empty, she will initiate her emergency self destruction program. Try not to be anywhere nearby when she does that..

- Enhanced Mobile AI
If you stumble about an AI Core, you can use that to give Mai some enhanced abilities.
She can withstand a bit more damage and is a bit harder to hit, she learns faster, heals herself a bit better and much more. All in all she is 'enhanced'.

- Keybinding: Colonist Groups
The keys 6, 7, 8, 9 can be used to define where colonists should go to.
Use them like this: Draft all the colonists you want to set the positions for and position them. Now press SHIFT+7 (for group 7) and the positions of your drafted colonists will be saved. To recall the positions just press 7.
This can be done for 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Key 0 has another function: Once you press it, all your drafted colonists, who don't have an active job, will be undrafted. Press SHIFT+0 to switch the recall mode between POSITION and GROUP.
Then there are the keys SHIFT+Q and SHIFT+E: SHIFT+Q sends your colonist to bed. SHIFT+E sends your colonist to eat. But they will only go, if they are hungry or tired enough.
Another key is the F1 key. If you press it, you will jump to a random position inside your home zone.
Note: You can rebind the keys to your own desire with the normal keybinding options.


- MapGenerator: List of blueprints
The MapGenerator has the following blueprints to work with.
These buildings can be placed when a new map is generated:
-Basic Rooms (some simple rooms similiar to the vanilla ruins)
-Bathhouse (an abandond bathhouse with pool)
-Billiardroom (a small house that still may contain a billiard table)
-Security room (a small house where old security was stationed)
-Hacienda (a few haciendas /ranches with various extensions)
-Labyrinths (a few labyrinths where you can find treasures inside)
-Longhouse/Tippie (Some abandond tribe houses)
-Mirror Tower (An old twin tower building)
-Pyramids (An ancient tomb, may contain treasures)

All i do is clutter all around.

Ah now i can count my raiders Woot...
But one question what is it's radius?
Linus Torvalds: "But it clearly is the only right way. The fact that everybody else does it some other way only means that they are wrong"
Robert J. Hanlon: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Not that this is not a great mod, but i'm struggling to find a usage for it beyond just the idea of keeping tabs on my enemies. Out of the four things listed in content, I vaguely only see a census feature.

Haplo

Its usage is mostly statistical. Its so you can see at once, how many colonists you have, how many enemies just dropped, and so on.
The earliest version didn't even have the jump to xyz buttons. That version was ONLY good for statistics.
So if you don't see any usage, that's ok. I don't force you to use it. ;)

This mod is my place to release small independent parts that normally won't be big enough to be a full mod.
Unfortunately right now it is only one item as I've used the other parts I had elsewhere for now..
But I hope it will fill up a bit with time..

Well thank you for clarifying the difference.
As you've cleared up a misconception.

As for the last statement, that's also fine..
But as a modder, you're going about your sell pitch defensively.
Your peers are those whom make you better, with constructive criticism.
I'm not ridiculing your creation, if anything i'm giving you every reason to show others why it's much more than the eye may see. As said by Tynan, there is no one mod or modder that control what mod is seen, by what's good or bad, popular or dominate. It's fair game for each and every member. So forgiving me for giving you a reason to rise up to the challenge.

With that in mind, understand..
Regardless to if you do this for fun or for recognition, you and every modder still upload these mods on the strength of praise. So, the competition to have your mod considered by someone whom is going off face value and not what you've went through to create your mod, having an attitude will only shadow the potential of a fairly decent attempt. So be courtesy to how you come off towards someone.

As I may only be one person.
This however is a community.
Good luck with the mod though.

Way to make something out of nothing. Just let it be.




Now as for the mod, very handy. Being able to instantly gauge the size of a raiding force and jump to it's location is invaluable for the way I play; that being on very large maps with multiple colonies.

Haplo

Update to Alpha 4.
Added some new objects and incidents.

anikaiful

Nano Storage's "Retrieve" and "Dispense" mode... Beats me, what they do?

mrofa

Recive mode is that it recive only and colonist wont take stuff from it, if you set to dispense, it will show on top one item that is stored in it and colonist will able to pick it up, of its on dispense and colonist pick up a item another item will be shown on top :)
At dispense if i remmber right colonist still can store stuff in it.
All i do is clutter all around.

Ah-a, that clears it - thanks.

Haplo

Did anyone experienced the incidents yet?
If so, what do you think about them?

Peacekeep3r777

Agent was reveiled, so i wanted to arrest him, but i killed him :(. This incident is good, however there should be an option to arrest agents (use of stunt weapon?) and interrogate  them plus you should gain some bonus (+ or -) with factions (if you releas him, kill him).
