@oscarmdsh69 Updating all my mods, see Discord for progress

1.6 update coming?

@DarlanMaz What would be a fitting research to put it behind?

I think a good update would be to make the "Laboratory counter" only available with research.
I started a run as Neolithic and there was the "Laboratory counter" available for me to build

@shiva chirr I think such compatibility would be much easier to implement on their side

mod link the mech--comm station wich is 2x1 requires it to be placed on the research bench its self but requires the 2x5 one as it has a requirement to be placed the same direction as the bench and also detects the end of the bench as a requirment

@shiva chirr Can you expand on that? Perhaps link to the mod as well.

any chance for a patch for the mech-communitcation station for glitterworld destoryer 4 - mechanoid addon

@Kateye Probably not, I have no ability to make new textures

Would it be possible to have compatibility with Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Sophian Style? It adds a style texture for the comm console that doesn't work with your smaller comm console texture.

Cant remember the AI & Sub Ai 4x4 linkables for this specific mod That comes with Sterile research unlock.

Thanks for mod update!

@Ataxius I think textures are better to handle via patches, there are lots of retexture mods to look at for reference

Hello, could there be an option to disable different textures in this mod? For example, I would like to use this for the Comms Console retexture/smaller size, but I would prefer not to retexture the Multi-Analyzer or Research Bench and Cherrypicker does not allow you to disable textures.

It would still be great to get the option of having the new bench as a separate item to maximize compatibility though!

@XXX_420_Bad_Boy Yea, this mod doesnt change the bench more than visually so should not affect functionallity

@mile More Linkables but I was wrong actually, it was a visual glitch with Vanilla Textures Expanded - Variations

@XXX_420_Bad_Boy What linkables?

@mile any chance of a toggle to have the new high tech research bench be a new item? it doesn't work with linkables, etc

@CreepWallk There is already a mod-option to remove the apparel

is there anychance you could make a very simple fork just removing all the armour so it is only the benchs

@Krowzin Id rather not change such values as I do not know the intentions of the original author regarding them

the insulation of the leviathan armour is a bit high, any chance of bringing it down to the level of vanilla power armour?

I made a patch for this, it's now integrated in CE

I'm kinda confused as to the point of the laboratory station, uses the same power as the high tech lab, the only thing different about it is the fact that it as 10% slower research speed.

Thanks, Mlie, like i said I wasnt sure, time to go a huntin for the offender :D

@Skullywag Tested this and had no issues with only this mod loaded. You may have other mod-issues, this mod only changes the size and gfx of the bench.

Not sure if its this mod, but its the only mod I have that touches the high tech research bench, I couldnt study a powerfocus chip until i put down a normal research bench, im pretty sure you should be able to use the high tech one.

The Hospital Expanded runs terrible on 1.3 as it will turn all icons of most(maybe all) prosthetics and organs into pink sqare tiles with a cross in the middle. This error doesn't show up anymore until I replaced that one with this one. It has been bothering me a lot for couple days until I finally find these smaller benches again.

A great mod for research that does not break the balance, now research will go faster

Any way to make this mod override Vanilla Textures Expanded: Variations?

@Drag0nCh1ld Not without some GFX-help

Would you be able to add gloves and boots for the armor?

@Mlie
Thank you. I can finally wear this handsome suit of armor in space

@jok Should be added now

Thank you for your reply. I don't know if the machine translation is correct

@Mlie
XMA-1 Leviathan Mechanized Combat Armature and XMA-1 " Leviathan " MCA Helmet

@jok I dont use SOS2 but what apparel should get the eva tag?

@Mlie

Can you update the EVA label for the clothes?SOS2 I want to wear this clothes

Thanks

@Dmitry6 Thank you, should be added now!

Hi, Mlie. I made a Russian translate [drive.google.com] of the mod. Is it possible to add it to the main mod?

i can still recall asking for exactly that recent change. glad to see that you found a way to accomplish that

Ohhh ouki.
Sorry for the dumb question ^^"
Like, the coding part of the mod is like, dark magic to me xD
On Creation Engine at least i can use xEdit or the Creation Kit, that require no coding xD
Coding is like... The bane of my existence xD

@SetArk Well the trouble is that the HighTech research-bench is a static reference. That is, its just one item in the game code. There is no simple way to just say "this is also a high tech bench".

Ohhhh that explains it. I thought that they would be able to be used for all research.
Could be possible to add a toggle on mod options?
Or add a advanced versions of them for having them as advanced research? (Maybe they can use Plasteel and Advanced Components? Sprite-wise they could just be the same but, lighter tone of blue)
Or too much of a chance from the original mod?

@SetArk They can be used as research tables for research that does not require the high tech research bench. Since they are not the high tech research bench

Hoy.
Sorry to come back again with another problem.
Strangely enough, the side machines, beeing the research terminal and laboratory station seem erratic, of when they are able to be used for research.
It seems like, randomly they are able to be used, them puff, they stop beeing "research tables"
Any idea?
I'm starting to think of them as just research boosters and will just add more and more High Tech Research tables if i have more researchers.

@Blitzred Should be safe to add, the researchbench just gets smaller. Not changed anything about the armor since I took over

I had used this before but lost it with a reinstall. I already started a playthrough, is it safe to add to existing game (should I delete all research objects first?)

Also I believe the XM power armor never covered neck before (occasionally had lancers one shot my colonists when unlucky), has that been added?

Thanks for the reupload!
