[1.0](WIP) What The Hack?! - Mechanoid hacking

[Spino]

Woah, how long has this been a thing?
You take a break from Rimworld and when you come back you randomly learn that someone's created a mod adding something that you've literally always wanted.
Looks fantastic, Roolo, will definitely try it out once Tynan blesses us with a stable release of 1.0.

Try it on B18.

[Roolo]

I probably should have mentioned it was just white text which often references debug info.  Its always just a footnote

Ok, yeah now the mod is in active development some log messages will slip trough now and then. When I'm doing the final release, I'll do another sweep to make sure they are all removed.

Getting this error now with the update from last night.
[..]

I cannot reproduce this error. In what situation do you get the error exactly? Are you still getting it or was it only when you loaded your save?

Thanks Spino. This mod will go very well with your Mechanoids Extraordinaire mod, so I'm looking forward to stable 1.0 when your mod is updated. I'd be glad to refer to your mod when I'm releasing What the Hack.

I get it when I have a colonist trying to hack mechanoids.  Will try a new game to see if it fix's the error but yes this was on an exsisting save

https://git.io/fNokF  Might provide a bit more information?

Tested on new game and error still shows.  Probably a mod conflict if you cant reproduce

Likely a mod conflict indeed. I'm still curious to what mod is conflicting so if you manage to find out, please let me know.

I SHOULD have the answer for you in about 3 hours

how do you figure out the cause of the mod conflict?

how do you figure out the cause of the mod conflict?

First you figure out what mod is causeing it by removing mods 1 at a time and trying to replicate the error.

In this case I was unable to find the offending mod.

In this example log what the hack is the offending mod and it is likly an edge case error.  BTW Roolo I keep forgetting to report this error

isnt it possible that the conflict can be resolved by simply reordering the position of a mod instead of removing it though? I had pick up and haul issues where I could no longer load items into my inventory after updating to the latest version of dubs hygiene. i simply moved it up toward to the top of the list and i can now.

[rawrfisher]

I tried reordering first.  Did not help at all.

Please make a habit of providing the complete log, and not just 1 error. Using ctrl+f12 or pressing the green "share" button is much more useful for me than just a small error snippet. Hugslib by itself shouldn't have errors, maybe you got errors because you removed a mod from an existing save? Either way, this is hard for me to judge since you didn't provide the full log.

Again, please share the full log using the Hugslib share functionality. Also, please clarify when this happens exactly (and also make a habit of this). Just some contextual information can really speed up the debugging process, as it can narrow down many things, especially for hard to track bugs.
Edit: If you don't know what's causing it or when it's happening, that's also worth mentioning.

New update. Mostly fixes and tweaks

- Fixed: Mechanoids recharging much slower than intended during world map travel using the portable platform.
- Fixed: Social tab of caravans bugging out when certain mechanoids are part of the caravan.
- Mechanoids that are part of a caravan are now automatically activated by pawns forming a caravan.
- Hacked Mechanoids can no longer be ordered to drop their weapon.
- Increased Centipede carrying capacity.
- Fixed translation error on Caravan Dialog.
- Fixed possible error in Caravan Dialog when your game failed to properly load some items (which can happen when Unstable is updated).

Ya nailed most the issues I had lol

[Roolo]

I did a lot of playtesting again and I updated the "current issues" part on the original post. Mostly small issues that are easy to fix. Please let me know if you find any other issues!

Ya nailed most the issues I had lol
