okay, will add link to google drive into nexus

Perfect mod that should be part of the base game. Thank you.

Thank you!! Just spent 2 hours killing things and sucking up components with NOT ONE WEAPON CHAMBER. BS! you a lifesaver

any chance you might be able to add programmable field array crafting to this mod? :P

Thank you, Skellington!

can confirm this is compatible with 7.0 plus VRO

What do you do, if you killed all Xenons? :X I need more Programmable Field Arrays, but I can't farm Xenons anymore 😭

I can't imagine a play-through without this mod, using it all the time. thank you mate!

So far i can tell, it works just fine with 6.0.

Thanks a bunch for this mod! It makes mods actually feel obtainable without simply cheating them in.

Copy that thanks Beans!

The Dude,

I haven't played since Sept 2022, unfortunately. I'll try to find the time to double check this code, but looking at the expansion info doesn't indicate any change to the way ship mods are handled, as far as I can tell.

If you want to test it yourself, just go to a crafting station and try to build a few mod cores (the basic/advanced/exceptional ware items). This mod shouldn't change anything except add the option to craft those components.

Bean, fellow Captains,
Is this mod good to go for 6.0x?

If time permits, looking for mod suggestions,
QoL, Common Sense, immersion and what mods make the game better for you?

TIA,
Cheers

You're welcome, SanikK! Glad people are still finding this valuable!

awesome mod got it to work, thank you!

It currently works for me.

Does this still work with 4.20

Please add a modification to the distance of M turrets.

CDEEKS - I have no idea what would cause that. This mod just adds a recipe and doesn't change the way the recipe window functions. I just tried using it myself and ran into no issues. Is it possible that you ran out of the Interface Units and/or the other "common" components? Any recipe that doesn't have at least one of the common components present will not show up in the list. Notice in my description text where I starred automatically*.

Hi, i just started using ship mods and was excited to find this but when i try and craft an item in the list the little craft box vanishes.

Linked to both the HEC and AGI drop rate mods now included in the description. Thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks for this mod and the increased high energy catalyst drop rate as well. You should consider adding a link to that mod here instead of just mentioning the name, as it is really needed (imo).

Sounds good. Thank you👌

Just posted mod "Increased High Energy Catalyst Drop" which moderately increases how often and how many catalysts drop.

Oh, and thanks to Elratie! Tested out that feature and it seems to work as stated! Awesome!

On the 'high energy catalyst' note, I've actually got a mod I never uploaded that makes the catalyst drop ~2x as likely and ~3x the amount. I initially felt like honoring the designers intent, but eventually realized there are many times more weapon systems per ship than any other ship system, so several times the number of catalysts would make more sense.

I'll upload that sometime soon, along with the save="0" change.

This is great, but it really needs to be able to craft 'high energy catalysts' also :-)

work fine

Hi, for the locked save game issue you need to add save="0" into your content.xml after the lastupdate part. Like this: author="Beans" date="2019-02-25" lastupdate="1551133008" save="0">

You guys are welcome! Play on!

Thank you for this.
I finally decided to start a modded game, then I realised that venture were my main source of high grade mods.
This will do nicely.

Thank you for this!

Just purchased the DLC and checked the files my mod works with (just libraries/wares.xml). It looks compatible so far.

I'm about to go test it. If things go wrong, I'll be back to update. If it works fine, I'll quietly disappear into the depths of space for a few weeks...

Apologies, but I haven't purchased the DLC, nor am I actively playing at this time. I'll probably try downloading and checking it out sometime this weekend, but not planning to fix if there's a problem.

Working for 3.0? with DLC?

Nah, not stupid. Just inexperienced. Glad you figured it out.

Ok problem solved. I was stupid. Needed to go to the wharf to upgrade my m class ship-.-

Hey, i´ve got a ptoblrm with this mod i think.

Whenever i try to install any mpds at the workbench in a shipyard i just get a black screen. I can´t select a ship or anything. its just black. Any ideas what i can do. Thanks in advance.

For turrets/weapons, they're definitely visible. Push F2 to get a 3rd person view of your ship. Keep in mind you can hit the Pause button to pause the game (hit again to unpause). Use the num-pad numbers to rotate (1/2/3/4/6/7/8/9) or zoom in/out (num +/-), and num-5 to reset. Hit F1 to go back to the cockpit view.

For viewing a ship (assuming F2 view isn't quite what you want), you can also check out components in the ship design screen while you're buying/refitting a ship (engines, weapons/turrets, and usually shields). Just change the selection and the ship should change at whatever point is high-lited (whichever section is light green).

As for weapon crafting, the current game doesn't really offer any easy road for weapon crafting with inventory items. With the new 2.0 shipyard update, it's technically possible, but it uses trade wares. I haven't done a shipyard yet, but I assume you can add any weapons you have the blueprints for.

I mean Craft Weapons through the Workbench or whatever using various components and then mounting them on your Ship. Also, do weapons such as turrets and such even appear or do they fire from seemingly nowhere?

Cameron Parris, what do you mean by "with Weapons"?
And you guys are welcome. Happy to see some people enjoying this.

OMG yes thank you it is so hard trying to get the exeptional stuff and now I can thanks to you

Great Work@ Now if you can only do the same with Weapons, that'd be awesome!
