Hmm,
small com console for your room, hmmm Laptop/Smart-TV ?
Maybe give that console an entertainment factor like a flatscreen too ! :-)

[Thom Blair III]

XD! That'd be cool! I like my negotiator to have one in their room so if a trader comes at night, they don't have to go to the other side of the base to use the comms.

Expanding on the concept of small consoles
Maybe include those other over-sized benches like the hi tech bench and multi analyzer

[Thom Blair III]

Yeah, that'd be kinda neat! What I'd like would be a GUI that would let you could reshape any of these items to the sizes you want. Like, a 1x3 version or a 2x2 version or whatever you choose. But that part is beyond my programming skills at the moment.

Right now I don't have the burning desire for making more smaller items, but they could be done pretty easily.

Bit of advice:  DONT go installing mods when half asleep...

Just noticed this mod isnt availble for the unstable >.>

[Thom Blair III]

Oh right, sorry, I haven't started using the unstable one yet. Just B18

[rawrfisher]

Its fine.

This is the only error it shows when used on unstable

[Thom Blair III]

Hmm, that's all over my head. :/ I'm just a beginner modder. But I'm glad it works!

Umm the problem is it dont work on unstable.  It breaks my UI and causes the game to crash lol
Similer problem with the high tech research bench mod which I want for unstable lol.

[Thom Blair III]

Oh.    Well, I've been checking to see if I can make smaller research benches (both hi tech and regular) as well as the multi-analyzer and they all work except the multi-analyzer. There is something I don't understand about how it connects to the hi tech bench that creates an error if you change the size of it. Oh well. Soon, all I'm doing now will be outdated when 1.0 comes out. Maybe I'll still be playing when it comes out or someone else can update it for me.


How unstable is the 0.19?

[rawrfisher]

Havnt seen any serious breaks in a week or so but other then that mostly just small fix's here and there for bigger mods


If you want you could attempt to update an older mod. 
High tech research bench's is outdated and broken for unstable but was forword compatable up till now lol

[Thom Blair III]

Interesting! I'm not sure I'd want to mess with it yet. I wouldn't want to start updating my mods without knowing if that part of the new code is in it's final state. I can just imagine having to do and redo it several times as things change.

Well given your mod is quite small I doubt it will break often.  Maybe any updates beyond fixing problems can wait unless you wanna work em in a local version

[Thom Blair III]

All right then, I'll take a look. Thanks!
