[MOD PACK] (Alpha 8) Epyk Pack 1.18y[Alpha 9 update soon!]

[ysor123]

I would suggest starting a new game. It may be that the mod updates broke old saves.

I can't start the game? Its loading forerver, didn't I wrote it 5 times already? How should I start a new one?
Neither enabling mods in the .xml (game loads forever on startup), nor disabling them in .xml and enabling in the game main-menu works for me. Once I enable them in mod-menu and save, it loads forever. I mean I'v went to watch a movie and when I came back it has not finished loading. Is that long enough?

Without mods everything works. And I'd suggest it is not my hardware, because I have no issues at all. I know how to keep my machine clean (I'm not talking about placebo cleaners.. haha). Everything works smooth. Got an 8x core 4ghz amd with 8 gigs ram and a radeon 7870hd (i think the later should not matter in that case).

I don't think it ever finishes loading. >1 hour is way to long.

restart your pc, if it not work just look how many memory ram, if it is stuck reinstall your game

I would say you trying to run too many mods for your system specs maybe, nut I don't know what you are running.
I personally have 24Gb of RAM and a geforce 2Gb dedicated graphics card, my load time is seconds.
I would say it is likely the amount of data it is trying to load, don't forget this mod pack takes up a lot of memory resources.
Reset your computer to clear all RAM, and don't run anything else while playing, see if that helps.

You tend not to read anything others wrote?

I could answer all the posts by just quoting myself over and over again...

- have Alpha 8
- downloaded epyk pack
- mods folder contains only core-mod
- copied all mods from pack into mod folder
- replaced the modconfig.xml file

If i have too many mods to load, than this modpack does not work.

[elStrages]

Does not work for you. Unload some of the mods and see. And I did read I was reiterating that your system obviously can run the mod pack so looking for a solution here is moot. You need to look at what you can run, remove some mods or altogether do not use this mod pack

[ysor123]

I'm writing a small script to check if the names of mods in the modsconfig are correct. To be sure.

*edit ok naming is alright

Epyk - any chance you could work w/ SC_Reaper and integrate the New Weather pack (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9057.0) and Igabod for the BioDiversity pack (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9532.0)? Think they'd be great additions.

@ysor123 - Few things you can try as ive had issues like this last week with either a black screen or menus buttons not working when starting a new colony

1. Make sure your modsconfig.xml starts like this:

Code Select Expand

<activeMods>
<li>Core</li>
<li>ED-Core</li>
With all the other mods below i swear i read that ED-Core needs to be at the top and activated first in fact: https://github.com/jaxxa/RimWorld-Enhanced-Defence#installation-instructions

2. If that does not work, then the only option is to add a mod or a few at a time and activate them, then restart the game and start a new map. If al is Ok add a another mod/few mods activate them and restart rimworld and a new map this is annoying but its how i found out which mod was giving me grief last week.

I'm always on the lookout for mods, keep on with suggestions.

Anyone else having issues with this mod crashing after about a game year?  The crashes happen during event spawns.  The game freezes for a split second, then an event happens or the game crashes.  I am having the same problem on two different computers.  One of the computers is really old, but it plays okay.  I wouldn't say the other computer is a beast, but it plays 7 days, assassins creed... with higher frame rates.  So, I don't think it is a hardware problem.

Is it a real crash to desktop, or just the game freezing? When your colony accumulates enough wealth, the raids tend to get so big that the game needs a minute to go shopping for all enemies gear and stuff.

[Kane84]

The game hangs for a split second right before an event.  Then the game continues or it crashes to the desktop.  There doesn't appear to be any real consistency to whether the game continues or crashes.

I have the most up to date pack and a five year old colony. I seem to be fine at the moment. E might need a disclaimer saying not for the feint hearted pc.

Epyk - how about the Ice Sheet and Water World biome mod - https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7882.0

i have a few requests for the pack. or at least i am curious if i can add these mods to my game without compatibility issues with this pack.

some small mods:
- canned food. because i want to add a small food stockpile in the prison that doesn't need freezing, and doesn't create a negative mood, so i can replace the meal paste dispenser. i think the extra cost of the recipe makes it a balanced addition.

- use herbal medicine. because it is silly for pawns to use surgical medicine for everyday use.

- vein miner. a quality of life addition. i don't feel it is cheaty enough to avoid.

- haul priority? i haven't tried this but i'm curious if it works as well as i hope.
