@Mlie: I have officially retired my github fork of ED-LaserDrill. You've done a great job maintaining this. Thank you so much. I hope Jaxxa would be proud.

@TheBronzeWarrior Fixed

please fix the typo. the building name is "laser drill tageting" which im assuming is meant to be *targeting*

OK My version has been deleted...

This version will be updated to 1.5 but feel free to use the temporary version until then if you are in a hurry.

Well, I released this less than an hour before v1.5 dropped. it was a MUCH harder upgrade. Took several hours. Here you go: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3182853134

The original mod, before the v1.0 version, -had- to be placed over the spot that you made the vent, and the laserbeam destroyed the Laser Drill. After the scanning and laser satellite systme was added, the Building.Destroy_Vanish() still remained. I always thought it was a bug.

You are a star, Mlie, as always! Thank you so much! I've added a pull request [github.com] to persist the drill after filling in a geyser (just needed the settings check).

Also, do you think it'd at all be worthwhile to have the filling work for either Steam or Gas geysers, now that you support Vanilla Helixien Gas Expanded? That could be a balance-friendly way of removing them versus theirs which is just an immediate "removal". If you do decide to support that, I'd suggest disabling the "Fill geyser hole" context on the Gas geyser perhaps?

@Deadmano Should be added now

@Mlie: Thank you! It's just a bit strange, since the concept wouldn't make sense for it to just "poof" away. The balance is also there by being able to set the time it takes to charge up, it'd just need to restart the "scanning" sequence after use.

@Deadmano The original author probably balanced the mod mod around it being only usable once. But I can look into adding some option for that

Is the drill meant to just disappear the moment you create or collapse a vent? I find it a bit strange it can't be reused, since you're just storing energy then transferring it to a laser of an orbiting satellite to do the drilling. Any chance you could create an option to allow for the drill to remain after use?

@LouId Should be added now

here is that mentioned mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2877699803&searchtext=vanilla+helixien+gas+expanded

Hi mlie i love your work , and could you please add compatibility to vanilla helixien gas expanded so we can drill the gas geyser as well

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much, this is one of my favorite mods and I cant believe I missed its revival!

Saved my playthrough, those steam vents get in the way of bases so often

With the years, so many of my most treasured mods keep ending up here. Mlie, you're a hero, thank you for all your work on Rimworld's orphan mods.

THANK YOU DUDE!!!! :)

Thanks, no longer am I bound by the limitations of the Steam Geyser spawn rng!

Thank YOU!

You legend!

Updated this version as the original seems to be abandoned again

The Original has been re-abandoned for all intents and purposes, so an update of this version for 1.4 would be greatly appreciated

Pretty sure the original is abandoned, Please update this for us!

Please could you look into updating this mod? Thank you.

i would love a 1.4 version.

UPDATE WHEN??

Doesn't look like the original is getting updated, so I hope this one can be again <3

Any chance this can be updated? the original version hasn't been touched in over a year or so.

@Apollo The mod is unlisted as the original is updated. There is an image above describing this

Hi mile, Im trying to add this to my collection but its not letting me. Is this something on your end? Like did you disable that? Thnx :)

Legend for posting that notice that you're deferring to the original.

You're a good person and you did well maintaining this. Cheers.

Thanks for keeping mods alive Mlie! You're a boon to RimWorld players around the world! Their stories would not be possible without your hard work!

@BattlePanda I dont think it will change anything, as long as the original have not done other changes to the mod. But you will have to ask the author about that

I see the original has been updated and if we're moving back over to that is it safe to swap them out mid game? I have not build one yet but wana check if it will break anything or if it would have to be researched a second time.

@Lemons O'Toole I am, that is why its unlisted and the disclamer and the ingame-news about it was added in the last update.

I think Jaxxa updated his. I don't know if you were aware or not.

very helpful if using hydroponics and turrets.
over the years i've stopped using those
but i still appreciate this being available.

nice

Your a hero, I want you know that.

thx !

The game isn't the same without this mod, thank you so much for updating it! <3

Thank you so much! You've always been the best!

@MZM_GOW Should be translation-keys now

Hey Mlie, thank you for updating this mod! But here's a small issue. I want to translate this mod, but it seems that the text of the key part is not given. I wonder if you can help me?

thank you so very much for getting this mod running with the new version. Its one of my essentials

Thank you for updating this!

Thanks!

thx to update this mod! :D
