I see, thank you for your reply!

@Schrödinger’s Cat
No current plans for adding the Rebel Flagship.
As for your comment on the unbalanced parts: I designed them with the mindset of “the player has completed a tough challenge, let them have a bit of fun”. So yes, they are significantly stronger than vanilla parts.
If we ever get tools that lets us modders implement feature toggles, I’ll add the ability to turn off reward parts. But in the meantime, you are by no means required to use the post-leviathan parts.

Stellar Energy Cores cannot be created. That’s by design.
Stellar Energy Remnants can be created using a special mode on the large stellar shield

As a side note, currently there is no way to detect whether a ship is in the radiation zone. I too think it would be a fun idea to have something special for the radiation zone, but that’s just not possible with the modding tools.

星裔的掉落物能和其它掉落物一样可制造吗？比如一种只能在辐射区工作的工厂，用以生产核心之类的。
Can Star Genesis’ drops be created just like other drops? For example, a factory that can only work in the radiation zone to produce cores.

Sadly this mod not only adds boss ships, but also a ton of unbalanced upgrades/parts. Sadly you can't use this mod if you want a balanced game.

Think you can add Rebel Flagship from FTL?

Thank you :)
The description on how to generate remnants is in the tech required to unlock that toggle. But now that I think about it, I should probably add that information in a few more places so it's easier to find in creative...

(i do wish it was on the description i could'nt find it until i placed the large shield)

i really like how this method to get more remnants works

ooo nice

Leviathans update v0.3.5 lets the player create their own stellar energy remnants, using what I hope is an interesting mechanism.

The crash with Cosmoteer v0.28.2 should be fixed now.

Patch is out. You can see what's changed in the "Change Notes" tab.

Nice!

I'm finishing up a patch with various balance tweaks, small fixes, and minor improvements, but there's a potential save break there. Specifically, a save made before the patch with an active Assimilator will crash after loading. Assimilator in stasis is fine.
So I'm going to wait a week before I publish this update. If you are fighting the Assimilator in your save, by update time make sure to either kill it or go far away from it to make the game put it into stasis.

feedback: the Assimilator could be faster in engaging (like 150) and engaging a bit closer. for some reason, it's flying only 30m/s towards a back flying railgun ship in my save while it's not shooting the railgun ship with any of its weapons.

i added you in discord just now to send you a msg

You can find me on Cosmoteer discord and send me a save that way. Alternatively, you can use an online file hosting service like google drive and post a link here.

The save file itself you can find if you click the hamburger menu on the top right of the load saves screen.

how can i send you a safe file?

If you can, send me the save file so I can investigate this with debug tools.
My first thought is that something weird happens switching in and out of stasis. From what I understand, Cosmoteer puts ships more than 2500m from any player ship into "stasis", where they are taken out of physics simulation, and I'm still fuzzy on how exactly ships function in stasis.
Also, I don't have as much testing as I would like on leviathan vs pirate base interactions, because it's such a pain to set up. So it could be some unforeseen interaction going on there too.

there might be a potential multiplayer desync issue, but very difficult to track down.

basically, there are 2 nebulas (gas). left one, then a stripe in the center without a cloud and then the right one. the left one holds the dragon, the right one holds the a pirate base at the border in the right cloud.

the dragon was pulled to kill the pirate base (because it can) and then the game desyncs, resyncs and then runs for some time but as soon as a contact inside the engagement vanishes/returns back to sensor range (or something else happens), the game desyncs.

i have no idea what it is but i haven't seen this issue when pulling the assimilator in the same pirate base.

Ok, mod should be updated to work with game v0.27.0. Let me know if you encounter further issues.

Update 0.27.0 Fix:

Part: Final Prism | in final_prism.rules , line 587, BeamDamageMultiplier, change:

(&<./Data/shots/ion_beam/ion_beam.rules>/HitOperational/HitEffects/0/HitEffects/0/Damage)

to

(&<./Data/shots/ion_beam/ion_beam.rules>/HitOperational/HitEffects/0/HitEffects/0/Damage/BaseValue)

Great Mod!

@Scientistknight thanks!

Yeah, if you have design proposals for Abyssal Devourer I'll be happy to look at them. Let's continue the discussion in the suggestion thread.

This update looks amazing! I like the early draft of the Abyssal Devourer. If you'd like, I could design you a few different Devourers and upload the ship.pngs. Just leave a comment on the suggestion thread, I would be glad to help out.


Unfortunately I did get a crash while testing out the update - I think it's due to Cosmoteer itself, but I will be posting it as a discussion here as well in case you want to take a look.

this is nice.

Mod v0.3.0 is out with compatibility for game v0.26.2. It also has a new leviathan, The Assimilator, inspired by Borg from Star Trek.
Technically there's also a fourth leviathan, The Abyssal Devourer, but it doesn't spawn in career game modes. I'm struggling to create the right feel for its leviathan hunt. So it only exists in ship library.

0.26.2 currently breaks the mod (as it probably breaks every mod that does anything with sysgen). Working on a fix.

wellll i be dammed, today i re installed everything by anger after the message, and the Gamebalance-MP is the one what causing the problems in the end, fml :'D
Thanks for the help figuring out what cause the issues <3

@Neo Tried to match your mod list exactly and just disable space leviathans, game still crashes. I'm pretty sure it's coming from the conflict between the two mods I pointed out earlier.
As far as I can tell the crash is not caused by this mod so there's nothing else I can do here to help you. I don't even know how you managed to make that mod list work in the first place.
Unless you sent the wrong crash log? 🤔

That's weird. I've tracked down the cause of the crash to a conflict between Gamebalance - MP and Kurim's More Crew Quarters , and my game crashes with just those 2 enabled.

Without your mod i already started a campaign with multiplayer and there is no issues, everything is working fine, i tried to re enable the leviathans after new game start but the game still can't load in :/

@Neo Judging by the crash log, the actual cause of the crash is this:
"System.InvalidOperationException: Duplicate part ID: kurim.3x1crewquarters"
This implies that kurim's crew quarter has something going on, or that multiple mods are adding kurim's crew quarters and causing a conflict.

I'll try to reproduce the crash, but in the meanwhile, can you confirm that this mod is the actual cause of the crash? Try to enable the rest of your mods and just disable space leviathans and see if it still crashes.

hello, sadly it's keep crashing the game, can you check what can be the problem with the mod ? here is a log from my side
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x797GXKCRoHkNKquhniMlLMLtBAwZ8L-/view?usp=sharing

I have a suggestion for the dragon's name: the Flammiferrous Beast.

"Flammifer" means torch or light-bearer and is the root of "flammiferous," which means "producing or bright with flame." I added an extra "r" to incorporate "ferrous," meaning "containing or consisting of iron." Thus, it's a pun.

haiiiii
yeah there's not a good way to make worm bosses. even if you do multiple ships if you leave the ships restore to full health/size and etc

my devourer is just a long flat projectile attack for this reason...

Regarding worm bosses. I would love to make them, I know some others in the modding community would love to make them too (looking at you jani), but afaik no one has figured out a good way to make them work just yet.

A bit of a status update:
Made some solid progress on borg cube boss, feels like it's pretty close to releaseable state.
I've been experimenting with the abyssal devourer boss, though it's not at a place I like just yet.
I was hoping to do v0.3 with both bosses, but that will probably change depending on when the nebula update releases, which is already on the preview branch. Most likely it'll end up with just the borg cube after the nebula update, since the mod needs fixing for the nebulas update anyway.

Space worm:
1:Spawns in extra large asteroids
2:eats ships, can be doged
3: some sort of projectile attack
4:Drops rescources?

That prism will be a fine addition to my collection

i love space lieviathans mod

I just had an amazing idea for a boss that would fit perfectly with this mod.

If you can, syy1125, please add Supreme Calamitas (Latest non-human model please!) from Calamity Mod. Also, please add at least these three attacks:

1: A simple fireball attack, except unlike other fires, this one must be put out by structures blocking it's path. This fireball cannot track ships and dissipates after not hitting anything for 15 seconds.
2: A fragmentation fireball that tracks the nearest ship. Splits into 2-6 fireballs from the first attack.
3: A charge attack, followed by a shotgun blast of 3-7 of fireballs aimed at the nearest ship. These fireballs cannot track ships and dissipate after not hitting anything for 15 seconds.

The attacks go in this pattern: Fireball, frag fireball, charge, frag fireball. This pattern will repeat until second phase, when the attacks are twice as damaging and twice as fast.

Borg cube is an interesting idea. I'll add it to the to-do list.

techno hive mind boss fight please (borg cube?)

why not put a star trek easter egg?
aka borg boss fight?

@syy1125, I want a Yharon fight. The Fiery Dragon sounds so much like Yharon, why not re-model him to look like Yharon?

Initial release of the dragon leviathan. The feel of the fight is where I want it to be, though some aspects will most likely need improvements or tweaking.
I will add more uses for the loot from dragon fight in future updates.
And I still haven't come up with a good name for the dragon ._.

Also looking for feedback on the difficulty of the fight. Ideally the leviathan fights are more difficult than a level 18 ship encounter, but still doable especially if you design your ships well and with the specific leviathan mechanics in mind. Are the current fights too hard? Too easy?

0.1.7 changed some visuals, made some minor adjustments to stellarborn, and added some new parts.
Also I finally got the mechanic of converting EMP damage to health damage to work.
Overall it's a lot of changes, so let me know if any issues pop up.

(and the dragon leviathan is almost working properly, hopefully I can release it soon)

That, and everything else it adds.
Anyway, I think I fixed all the crashes. Let me know if any issues occur during gameplay.

the shields that this mod have are makeing this mod not work
