I can not build the Control Console. The resources required to build it show up but no texture and I can't place it.

yer im having the same problem for some reason.
Is it a fresh install of the mod? Do you have any mods which change construction or anything like that? I've tested it on my computer and it seems to work fine for me

yeah my timetable is bugged too, can't show more than 12 people/droids
Sounds like I forgot something when updating to the new alpha, I'll take a look at it tomorrow, thanks for letting me know!

Mipen, I think I broke one of your mods... ^^

I was trying to make DSUs work with Superior Crafting, so I replaced the materials requirement -it worked. Then I noticed I can't stack foods (actually, why?) and so I proceeded to replace the categories to
<li>Resources</li>. It did NOT work. Broke my save (happens to me way too often), but upon creating a new colony I noticed I can no longer build DSUs. At all.

So I've replaced the modified def with the original, it worked again, made the same changes and this time it still worked (with a new colony), however now I can build them any time without having to research... o_o
No, I didn't even look at the recipedef thingy, and I don't even know how to open a .dll, I only changed these two values in DSU.xml.

I'm using a bunch of other mods also, including the...mod order mod (whatever its name is); any suggestions in which order I should place these two mods? SC and your core+submods?

I started to fear tampering with it any more than that...

Thanks! :)
Hey there, unfortunately I haven't looked at superior crafting much so I don't know what it changes or how I could make it compatible. I might have to take a look at it if enough people are hoping for a compatibility patch. There is a modpack out there that has got md2 and Sc working together, that might be a good place to look for ideas, but other than that I don't know if I can help you much D: if you are looking to get the dsu back to working normally, you need to delete the MD2Storage folder and redownload it

where did the power switch with droids?
I disabled it in the update, the way I had implemented it didn't work at all well and caused problems so I need to rework it

Hey there!

Love your droids!

Say, I noticed droids get better at their job. Is it possible to disable that? (I would like to see them as servants, not the master race :D )
Also, I cant figure out where you set their exact skillpoints in your config files...
I would appreciate the help if you find some time, thanks!

Cheers!
They start off with a level of 15 and a burning passion, I figured if you're programming a robot to do your work for you, you may as well program it to be exceptional and love it :P I can't actually remember if I included that in the config files out not haha, I'll take a look and add it in if I haven't

They are compatible, at least the parts I play with (DSU, robots and fortification), for the sake of gameplay I only had to change the materials needed for the assets these offer.
DSU was working without problems as well, that is, until I started to play with its .xml. Again, broke my saves and no longer needs research, but it still works! ^^

I just tested it and it works fine for me. Do you have any mods which could be interfering with this? Maybe try restarting your game as well. As far as I can tell it isn't a problem with MD2 in particular

Thanks! It would be great if one could set those values in an xml - and disable their ability to get better at their jobs. :)

cheers, mate!

For the droids? I implemented those in the last patch, you can now change the starting level and passion for the skills (the number you set will apply to all of that droids skills)
