Will this mod be updated to accommodate the late June update that added crew construction? As it stands, like many mods that add a part, it just crashes the game when trying to use it now. One of the issues seems to be that several base-game assets were renamed, resulting in failed calls from mods.

I uploaded a fixed version going off of Sparky's comment, i'll take it down once this version is actually working again.

I have fixed your mod :) , I am not an expert so I don't know the technical terms but it seems that a line on the reduction factor per beam needed to be more specific on the path
since I fixed this last night I don't have the original code :p but this is what I changed it to , line 212 for UV and pure prism &~/Part/Components/ToggledIonEnergyStorage/Components/IonEnergyStorage/ReductionFactorPerBeam

Indeed take your time. I also appreciate you responding :)

all good! take your time

Hey guys, I will try to check and update the mod as soon as I am able to work on it. Please be patient, next few days I am sure I won't be able to work on it.

so I see what the issue is; the new change to ion prisms that disables them entirely when toggled off, is not reflected in this mod and that causes loading to fail for some reason

not as easy a fix as I thought but, at least easy enough to figure out

---> Halfling.Serialization.DeserializeException: Deserialization from source "<C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\799600\2893657348\UV_Prism\UV_Prism.rules>/Part" failed.

---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

I very much like you mod. any change of a fix after the update broke it?

Hey @DJKilller
Thank you for your mod. Dunno what is the cause but after the latest update of cosmoteer your mod is crashing the game. Perhaps you can figure out what is the problem, if you have time.

Make more mods this mod is amazing.

@Good_Oatmeal Appreciate the feedback. However, it's quite complicated how the ion beams work ingame. I am not sure if inheriting the properties of previous beams in the chain would even be possible (haven't found an option to that). The beams in the chain just provide additional energy to the one you are combining to - a multiplier basically.

Well and on the other hand, making just one super-op prism would be just boosting the regular one by xy% which, in my eyes, would be dull and would undermine the point I wanted to make - have more variety.

Tho, I think you can still make insane beam by combining with this mod. Eg. 4 beams -> to 1 Enriched -> to 1 UV = MUCH MORE damage than 4 beams -> to 1 regular prism -> to 1 UV, cause you don't loose damage by combining. (see the examples in my previous comment)

yeah this looks very nice. now we only need good emitter like the electro beam ^^

Nice mod games needs variety. you can use these to "switch" fire modes.

Yes, you can combine them. However, keep in mind that the beam property is determined by the last prism in the chain and the combine falloff damage penalty is calculated for each prism in the chain.

Few examples:
1) You fire 4 beams to 1 Enriched Prism (no combine penalty) and aim this Prism to UV Prism -> power of full 4 beams with bonus vs. Shields (and penalty against structure). You do NOT have extra 25% beam bonus damage from Enriched Prism.

2) You fire UV beams to 1 Pure Prism and aim it at Enriched Prism -> power of 4 beams reduced by the combine falloff (-20%/beam in case of Pure Prism) and extra 25% beam bonus damage from Enriched Prism. You do NOT have bonus against shields (UV) or range (Pure).

3) You fire 4 UV ion beams to 1 Enriched Prism -> You have power of 4 beams +25% damage and 0 bonus vs. shields.

so can we combine the beams by shooting them into one and other & end up with a Mega Laser?
