Thank you for updating!

Biggest spike in new subs in over a year. Feelsgoodman.jpg

thanks!!

@Agnes: Cheers :) Unlike with 1.5 I didn't have a bunch of changes to roll in as well, so this one was a quick update.

author is truely goated, thanks for updating it as always

1.6 update done. Doesn't seem like any of the 1.6 changes affected how growth vats work so hopefully there are no unforeseen issues :)

nice!

noice

Hey all, should have 1.6 update by next week

update?

Has anyone tried using this mod in 1.6 yet? This is absolutely a must have mod for me.

Will you update it for 1.6 eventually?

@Jeremy Lin: That's a weird one. If you can get a log and post it in the bug report thread that would be super helpful. Will try and check it out of the next couple of days

Learning suite setting on the mod options cause weird UI bug where half of it is cut off for some reason. got a error for Visual exceptions

@bluesidego: huh, I'm surprised. The only royalty-related part of the mod is the techprint requirement for the research. I might have changed that and forgotten about it n the long period between updates. Good news though!

@MakeltSo I tested on my save without royalty and Right now it working fine I have not found a issue yet.

@bluesidego: But surely you want the full RIBworld experience? (jks) Not at the moment, but give me until the end of the weekend and I'll see what I can do

is there a verison of this mod not required royalty?

@HazelTree: I haven't looked at the 1.4 branch in a while. It should be safe to add mid-game, but I'm not sure about compatibility with the nutrient paste mod on 1.4. EVL should be compatible

It might be because I'm in 1.4 and added it mid-game? Or it's something in mod settings I forgot to change. I'll keep looking around for anything that would help

@HazelTree: I have both of these mods running in parallel too, but this issue you're having is new to me. Therefore I'd guess that some other mod of yours is causing the problem.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but when using this mod I put food in the vat, put an embryo in the vat, but the embryo doesn't show up and it says the vat is unoccupied. As soon as I removed the mod it started working so I'm not sure what the issue is

I also have the "Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded" mod and the "Enhanced Vat Learning" mod which might be causing problems?

Ok, so I've made growing pains a disease that needs multiple treatments to overcome. Better doctors means less treatments needed, appears like other basic diseases.

I've also added both growing pains and Vatshock itself to the settings page, so users can turn these features on/off if they want. They should both be enabled by default, but check the mod settings just in case.

@Touchmi: So the idea with 'vatjuice growing pains' is that it doesn't disappear over time, but instead requires multiple treatments to remove, using basic medicine. The problem is that I didn't implement the operation required (I must've lost track of finishing that mechanic along the way).

For right now you can temporarily turn on debug mod and remove the effect manually - I'll get the operation sorted out and released ASAP though. I was also meaning to make it optional in the mod's settings.

@Touchmi: thanks, this is the first feedback I've gotten about the new mechanics. I'll check it out.

Love the mod, but i'm having issues to were the vat juice growing pains aren't going away. Its been a game year

this mod is what i needed i will thumb you (:

No worries, happy to help, especially since I use it a lot

@Tyrfing: Thanks to your saves I was able to track down and fix the issue! So thanks a whole lot :D If you want a shoutout in the mod description just let me know.

Turns out it was none of the suspected causes - all of your modlists are safe, people. What was it? Newborns weren't being given/remembering their Job (internal code stuff - usually 'being carried'). My saves did have jobs on the newborns I was testing with for whatever reason, so the bug never appeared for me.

AHA! Ok, so it seems to be an issue with newborns growing into children and not getting their learning stat. I can now reliably recreate the bug so expect a fix soon :)

@Tyrfing: Yes, I'm very much interested in those saves! The high mod count is fine - in fact I think that's part of the cause. Go ahead and upload them and either link them in my Github or in the discussion I've created about the issue :)

@MakeItSo I actually have saves before and after lag starts. However, I also have a bunch of mods (~190), which may make it harder to analyse, so do tell if you're interested

Oh, and on my "After lag starts" save, it's pretty easy to turn off the issue and then have it come back a day later reliably, by turning "Overclock vat" off and on. Might be helpful for you if all you got is a save where it already started.

@obin0684: It's working for me, just tested. It doesn't work on babies or younger if you tried it there - my code doesn't kick in until the child stage.

Even though it is not in the growth stage, I do not eat 1 year old when I press the button.

And yes, this bug is my no. 1 priority right now. It's annoying because I haven't been able to find a way to replicate it, or a direct cause. If anyone can reliably reproduce this error I'd love to hear about it!

@Vela: See the discussion I've linked in the top of the mod description. I can't replicate it, although I have been given a save file from after the error occurs so I know what the error is.

There is a workaround in the meantime :)

Overclock seem to causing lag once overclocked vat learning reaches 100%.
Though I do run Enhanced Vat Learning at the same time.Load order dont seem to have any impact.

Yep - although if it hits a growth stage you'll have to resolve that first

Does pressing it immediately increase the Pawn's age by 1 year?

Ages the pawn by a year (doesn't apply learning) :)

What does the Advance 1 Year button that appears when I enable the debug menu do?

Done. Also got rid of the (previously named ...) bit.

@LouldZarcs: I just had a good look and you're right.
I thought I'd covered my bases by removing the need for their xml patch to my mod altogether (their code will run whether my mod is installed or not now), but they use my mod's name in c# code as well to tweak a single value, so i'll revert my mod id so their patch works again.

I just found out that "Enhanced Vat Learning" mod patch for your mod still use your mod name as "Enhanced Growth Vat Learning" , which means the patch won't work properly right ?

@Dragoon: add it to the github or in the bug reports thread if you do, cheers!

@Dragoon thanks for following up on that! I was able to add that mod to my list midgame without issue, so it might be dependent on the timing or other stuff going on at the same time. If you have a save before and after installing i wouldn't mind having a look

Hey this is the guy who reported a bug about my save. Turns out adding nutrient paste expanded mid game to a save with growth vats, causes those growth vats to change, and then throw errors like god isn't watching! Just letting ya know as that is a minor incompatibility, and i should have learned to not add mods mid save but

He actually did it, the madman

Nope, they wrote compat. patches and that part hasn't changed since 1.4 :)
