The "Grown Meat" for vegans comes out as Food (the apple) is it treated as meat anyway for buildings that require it or do I still have to have ranches?

Hey @Zavichij

here is my annual appreciation comment on this AWESOME mod!

You made it very far, buddy! :)

Can we have an Laikaless tech mex? I mean... I am really not willing to get Project Laika based on reviews. Unless Tech Mex made Laika relevant somehow
Zavichij  [author] 19 Jan, 2022 @ 6:12pm 
It should be

Is this mod compatible with Extended Research Pack?
Zavichij  [author] 10 Nov, 2021 @ 1:57pm 
Can't find this issue myself when playing with only this mod active, but It could be that after the latest patch fix that I need to only reupload the mod to solve the issue, like when they released the latest dlc. So thats the only thing I done with the latest "update"

@Verok I'd been struggling with this for days, total build menu bork. Been trying to figure out what was happening... Just realized it was tied to research completion of "Planetary Economics" for me.
Verok 6 Nov, 2021 @ 9:11pm 
I ran into a problem where the prefabs menu freezes on my screen after researching one of the techs from this mod. Once that started, the asteroid landers started freezing the game if I open the screen to request cargo.

You might be having a conflict with other mods, try a new "test" game with only the tech mex mod activated and see if the error persist.
PDX_Jedi 5 Nov, 2021 @ 1:18pm 
I've got several basic constructors in use from the "micro machines" tech. They show fuel consumption, and repair consumption, but no output info. scrolling over the resource production I'm not seeing any increase in products either. I'm concerned I'm just burning precious fuel with no gain.
Zavichij  [author] 13 Oct, 2021 @ 3:24am 
tierrehcc do you have the dlc space race, project lajka and green planet installed?
tierrehcc 12 Oct, 2021 @ 12:37am 
All the service buildings are saying that there are no workers and there is no slot for a colonist.So they are just not working ever.
Zavichij  [author] 9 Oct, 2021 @ 1:28pm 
Lord_of_Aces052 np, hope you will find the mod fun :)
Ethereal Phoenix 9 Oct, 2021 @ 12:05pm 
Ok, sorry if the question was a bit dumb lol
Zavichij  [author] 9 Oct, 2021 @ 11:29am 
Lord_of_Aces052 No, it only adds new techs
Ethereal Phoenix 9 Oct, 2021 @ 9:03am 
Ok, I know it says expanded but (just out of curiosity) does it replace any techs as well?
Zavichij  [author] 9 Oct, 2021 @ 6:11am 
Lord_of_Aces052 No sorry, you will need to start a fresh new game.
Ethereal Phoenix 8 Oct, 2021 @ 1:17pm 
Can I use this on an existing save or do I need to do a new game?
Zavichij  [author] 12 Sep, 2021 @ 1:10pm 
The Gravedigger still harvest concrete, but also works as a transporter, guess its intended or a bug ingame. There will be a game patch tomorrow, it might hopefully solve many issues people are having with the new version. And the Unified is out of commission, will look into what param that have changed, or if it is ingame conflict like the one with the disasters.

Thank you too and all you others that report errors you find :)
lyssabet 12 Sep, 2021 @ 12:35pm 
Hi Zavichij, two bugs: one, the Gravedigger rover always automatically becomes a Harvester when it is finished being built, and two, the Unified Field Theory tech no longer grants research points when an event is completed, or if it does, it does not have an on screen notification for it. The second is new as of the 1007783 game version, so far as I know.

Thank you for all of the work that you're putting into this mod, again.
Zavichij  [author] 12 Sep, 2021 @ 7:23am 
Thanks again, found some more to fix while looking over the building techs

Zavichij  [author] 11 Sep, 2021 @ 4:16pm

UI bug: if u have self growing terraforming plant prefab(from G.E.C.K.) mouse over prefab list popup bugged and any popup not open(like resource info e.t.c) p.s self-growing terraforming not researched
Zavichij  [author] 11 Sep, 2021 @ 10:31am 
It is under Habitat, but now I have changed the icon so it should be easier to find for everyone.
AlphaWolf 11 Sep, 2021 @ 12:32am 
i have unlocked the Matrix building i cant figured it out where to find it? i have looked everywhere?
Zavichij  [author] 8 Sep, 2021 @ 5:46pm 
Thanks for the feedback, the issue is now fixed, tech will now also grant the jumper shuttle hub building
lyssabet 8 Sep, 2021 @ 4:19pm 
Hi Zavichij! Minor bug that I've found: the Planetary Expansion in the Terraforming branch grants a Shuttle Hub prefab, not a Jumper Shuttle Hub prefab like it says in its description.
Zavichij  [author] 8 Sep, 2021 @ 4:09pm 
Happy to know its to your liking :)
6souls 7 Sep, 2021 @ 1:44pm 
Thank you so much. Your mod pack has been a driving factor in my increased engagement with the game.
Zavichij  [author] 7 Sep, 2021 @ 12:05pm 
Have updated it with the new version
Pirate of AE 7 Sep, 2021 @ 10:06am 
Loved this mod... its botching its un suported with the update... Please :D
lyssabet 20 Aug, 2021 @ 7:31pm 
Thank you Zavichij for making the mod and responding so fast!
Zavichij  [author] 20 Aug, 2021 @ 12:06pm 
Joshua Graham, have you tried to start a game with only the TechMex mod activated?
ZyrahRavenSteel 20 Aug, 2021 @ 11:57am 
Yeah i have space race green planet and project laika installed those are the only dlcs i have
Zavichij  [author] 20 Aug, 2021 @ 11:55am 
lyssabet I have solved the issue with the mini bluescreen of death, had to remake the building into something els; Biochemical Plant
Still gives the same things, but consume seeds instead.

Thanks for the feedback and I hope you will not run into anymore issues :)
Zavichij  [author] 20 Aug, 2021 @ 11:52am 
Joshua Graham, do you have all the DLC installed?
lyssabet 19 Aug, 2021 @ 9:25pm 
I've not subscribed to the mod through Steam Workshop, but instead got it through Paradox's Manager. I've found an odd bug with the Promethium extractor/factory building: if I try to look at the detailed Production info popup when I have the Promethium building open, a blank Production window is opened which persists on the in game screen until I exit out of Surviving Mars completely. If I just exit to the Main Menu and then load the game again, it's still there, and it persists even if I open a different building and try to look at the Production popup there. Beyond that one bug, of the new buildings I've gotten to I haven't encountered any issues and I'm enjoying the mod a lot.
ZyrahRavenSteel 19 Aug, 2021 @ 12:34pm 
For me alot of your buildings dont work or have models, like Taco Fel for example just have people stuck inside them until demolished and are just cubes floating in the air
MarkJerue 24 Jun, 2021 @ 9:08am 
phew! Yeah, in my ongoing save atm my tech queue has an invisible tech on it that can't be removed or researched :( b/c the ongoing save had one of the (now-removed) modded techs in it.
Zavichij  [author] 24 Jun, 2021 @ 2:31am 
Thanks for the heads upp, I will have that in mind if I in the future remove any more techs from the mod.
MarkJerue 23 Jun, 2021 @ 7:52am 
Minor bug: techs which *were* in the mod but are now removed stick around in ongoing saves. IE if the mod's updated and a tech's removed, it bugs out the old save game.
Captain Trout 10 Jun, 2021 @ 6:17pm 
Tack själv! @Zavichij
Zavichij  [author] 10 Jun, 2021 @ 5:09pm 
Happy you like the mod and thanks for the feedback, the text box issue is now resolved. :)
Captain Trout 10 Jun, 2021 @ 3:26pm 
Love the Mod, anyone know if there is a full list of additions anywhere?

One bug I ran into, had a tech in Terra-forming column pop up but when i hover over, an empty text box appears. I do not know the name, but image appears to be rows of plants.
xerxes0 31 Mar, 2021 @ 1:20pm 
Oh OK. that is good. That way it gives a reason to build the bigger Core Heater later on (research money and time) after 25% that will produce more to take it to 100% Heat temperature.
Zavichij  [author] 30 Mar, 2021 @ 10:56am 
That is in order with the heater, it will only be 0.5% up to 25%, then it will automatic lower itself to 0.1%
xerxes0 29 Mar, 2021 @ 5:38pm 
A quick note on the Nuclear Powered Heater. It is terraforming the temperature too high at 0.5% instead of design criteria of 0.1% . That 0.5% per day was too much so I changed it in mine using mod editor to 0.02 so that the result is only 0.1% like it should be. IDK it is being multiplied by factor of 5.
xerxes0 29 Mar, 2021 @ 5:13pm 
Great news! The Nuclear Powered Heater is working now! I reinstalled the mod, I think an old copy was still in my steam folder i had to remove manually was interfering with it. ALl clear now! Thanks for your dedicated work! ;)
