No longer supported, probably broken.

Could you pls get in contact with me regarding my last message?

I'm looking for integrating this mod into my server network but I would like to know if it would still be supported

I agree, being able to manage the research and access to vanilla and modded blocks would add so much.

Hope this mod gets continued

This is something I have always wanted in Space Engineers. A research system is a perfect progression system. I just wish it could be more integrated

do you know about this?

Addon?

great job !

mine woudlnt let me put anything inside them

Great, I found the Research Mod today, AND I will use it in a scenario world, I will credit you on my workshop, when time is due, thank you

There's a easy workaround for that - give faction leaders some specific block at base (i.e. letter) that is forbidden to create by anyone, but grinding it unlock faction's starting tech on which the faction's tree depends on. That goes for any faction member, as long someone doesn't grind it down fully :)

Can you make varying tech trees for different factions? Im working on a survival MP PvP scenario that would be great to have it, forcing the factions to use different methods with different tech.

@pheonacoldfire You can check out my test world here, it has this mod working - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1377796290

Although, the world is not up-to-date to my latest research tree and requires quite a lot of work. But you can see where and how files should be arranged. Also note that it works in offline, private or public mode, but not on dedicated server.

I have made a techtree based on this mod, feedback welcome! - https://pastebin.com/7Ww84VTd

The tech tree is considered beta and work-in-progress, as I have put a lot of thought into and balanced it, but not yet fully played through. Also, I am looking to publish it on the steam workshop via "EqResearch_ trick".

The tech tree also implies presence of several mods, although they are optional (skipped if not present). For any meaningful playability I suggest to have at least scarce resources, atmospheric flight, concrete and hunting mod. Full list can be found in my collection: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1368430779

And best played with this starting ship (not respawn ship yet, you have to paste it in yourself) - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1373559956

I am trying to figure out how to set this mod up for a friends server and was wondering where to start.

GitHub works better for getting me to actually solve the issue. I'll try and look at it sometime this week, it worked when I first made the mod.

(should I post issues here or in github?)

Today I started a new modded world with aux_research.xml copied from your reference example. Medical Room didn't show up in G-menu as expected, so far so good.

Then I switch to creative, paste into some blueprint that has Medical Room in it, and switch back to survival mode. After grinding down Medical Room I realized that my inventory can't hold 10 Medical components. Exit world, edit aux_research.xml from 10 down to 2 components, and start world again. After grinding and welding back Medical station components are not consumed, and Medical Room doesn't show up in G-menu. Can't see anything in logs either, only that research has initiated and recognized my player. Exited world again, tried editing and commenting out various requirements for Medical Room in aux_research.xml but no success.

I really like the idea and would like to help this to work (as well easy to configure and debug). But how to proceed?

All the documentation is the stuff I've listed above. As far as I know the mod itself still works.

does this still work? is there a guide for me to use, because I want to build a mod and vanilla progression type scenairo on a mars like world

Looking forward to seeing mods which support this.

A perfect opportunity to inject a sense of pride and accomplishment into my server!
