how do you go about repacking wares.xml file so that the game reads it the changes. cause goin on the forums they alsao say to keep them as loose files but i dont even understand if that theres a certain way to do that for the game to read and make the changes. ive figured out how to finally unpack the .cat file and i also finally found where to make the changes....now im hung on the repacking or keeping loose files in a way that the game acknowledges the changes....could 1 of you guys please provide a little more context/direction PLEASE on what need to be done for that to happen.

is this ever going to be updated? or could some1 who has the know how be able to update it? ill add a donation to any1 who does it. Trufax

please update

yes thats correct @Tron842, arithon actually pinged me on the Egosoft discord and i helped them

If I understand correctly, you need to use the CAT extractor tool [www.egosoft.com] to extract the mod and repack it.

You are then looking to modify the wares.xml file.

Look for "<replace sel="/wares/ware[@id='computronicsubstrate']">"and then change the inputs from:
<ware ware="energycells" amount="5100" />
<ware ware="aicores" amount="500" />
<ware ware="metallicnanoparticles" amount="2180" />
to:
<ware ware="energycells" amount="5100" />
<ware ware="aicores" amount="230" />
<ware ware="metallicnanoparticles" amount="800" />

Then repack the cat file and use it until updated

@jkelley2 could you specify a bit more please? I can't find the lines where I could apply your fix. I found 102 places with "computronicsubstrate", but none of them in a context with the numbers you mentioned...

added aside for anyone inclined to do so

i was able to extract the .CAT files and tweak numbers and fiddled with it alot for Computronic Substrate and was able to settle on locally by editing the X4 Foundations\extensions\x4_economyoverhaul\libraries/wares.xml from the mod to

Energy Cells = 5100
AI Cores = 230
Nanoparticles = 800

this settles production from the modules at

588x Computronic Substrate

24,000x Energy Cells
2760x AI Cores
9600x Metallic Nanoparticles

a bit far into the save now not exactly wanting to restart but yea, the Computronic Substrate needed resources are way messed up with the 7.5

its gone from

392x computronic substrate

20,400 energy cells
2000 ai cores
8720 nanoparticles

to now

588x Computronic Substrate

24000 energy cells
6000 AI cores
26160 nanoparticles

it now takes 3x the nanoparticles and AI cores for 1.5x resources

the resources need a balance pass

this mod can save X4 when it get updated.

I hope this gets updated to 7.5 soon, would have loved to start my Terran playthrough today, but I guess that will not happen unfortunately.

Is there anything that can be done to help you speed up the whit the update?

Yes. The mod is partially broken with version 7.5

Any plans to update to v7.5? There are new radar modules and hull part/claytronic production modules have different construction wares now.

mod production modules aren't 10x basic production; they're around 2.5 or so and they cost almost the same as 10x normal production modules. Probably because it isn't updated to newest version

Is there any meaning to the colors in the flow charts?

Could you at some point fix two/three translation bugs in the german translation?

The terran Nanoparticles should be called "Nanopartikel", not "Nanpartikel" (station as well as wares).

This factory should be called "Produktion", not "Production".

is this mod compatible with 7.0?

Came here to praise this mod for what it do and complain about the hitboxes, love the mod regardless

Did he fix the issues with hitboxes?

For the love of the goddess please fix the building collision of the modules. Some modules that are very slim and small need to be miles away from other because otherwise they collide

How can I shorten the construction time? Is there a way?

Love your stuff, tho.

Can't seem to get close enough to any of your modules in 6.0 to steal blueprints. Some collision issues, to say the least.

Is it compatible with DeadAir's mods like God or Fill ones?

As I understand it, the simplicity of the Terran economy is - somewhat - balanced by the massive resource requirement compared to the Commonwealth factions. I agree that's boring and I'd rather have more complexity, but did you take this into account in your mod? Thanks.

hello really enjoying using the mod but was wondering if at all possible to have a version without all the terran changes short of maybe the fusion reactor

hey loving the mod! but i seem to have a conflicted with the fusion reactors mod, seems this turns that mods modules into basic solar plants any idea how id go about making them compatible?

It's really cool. But can you make an even more vanilla version? That is, to make sure that there are a lot of resources for the production of something, including ships. Otherwise, terrans simply spawn them endlessly and resources are extracted from them very quickly. I hope you understand me, that would be just fine.

It's a pity. I specifically left only 2 of these mods today and my observations were confirmed.
Unfortunately, this mod and SVE :( Specifically, it does not allow AI to use Battleships, although all other ships are used.

This must be an issue with another mod. This mod does not change any of the jobs or shipgroups.

The fact is that I do not use the XR Ship Pack mod.
And I don't understand how this MOD conflicts with SVE.
In version 5.10, this was not the case and everything worked perfectly.

Pretty sure that this has nothing to do with this mod.

It might have to do with the XR Ship Pack because I want it to be useable with VRO so I had to remove existing battleship groups and than I add the groups back later.
The problem here is that you can not have 2 groups with the same ID and if I just add the group in the XR Ship Pack and if the group already existed, than it creates an issue and no ships are added at all. So I had to first remove it and recreate it. If the SVE is loaded before and added ships to that group, these ships will be removed in this step.
I havent found a working solution yet that works for every mod together. So I dont know if I can fix it.
What would work is if you crate a submod that just adds the SVE ships to the existing groups later after XR Ship Pack and SVE has been loaded.

Somehow the scripts prevent the AI from building and using battleships from SVE https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2229061492

Thx. Should be fixed soo.
That comes when you dont take enough time for what you do :(

@KungFury Please check Xenon P and S.

I dont know how other mods work with this sorry.
And yes, everything needs energy cells for construction. Its like in real life... its takes a lot of energy to build solar panels ;)

And last question, do you need energy cells to build solar panels like vanilla? ( Always found this stupid)

Looks amazing 🤩, how commonwealth factions manage the complexity?

good :)

All right

Uploading bugfix version. I have only checked the power plant but the bug should fix all misisng textures (hopefully). Let me know if it worked for you.

hm ok shit...

Terran modules are now white.

Missed a little: https://i.imgur.com/sIE9E0x.jpg Sector Abyss

https://i.imgur.com/OJz2GSD.jpg Microcircuits

https://i.imgur.com/pgSt5Gi.jpg Looks like something broke at the Power Plant

Should be fixed now. Please let me know if it works for you.

Ok sorry! I found the problem. I always play together with my other mods and somehow the white textures come from the XR Ship Pack.
I will try to include the white textures to this mod as well.

For everyone and in different sectors, except for IA Core. IA Core as it should be white.

Is it just in one sector and is it for all of the modded station modules or just the one you showed?

Removed all mods, left only one, all the same, all new Terran modules are gray.
In settings everything costs Ultra 4k.
I don't understand what's going on :(
