I really enjoy this mod. Especially for scouting and trading/procurement.

Would it be possible to increase the area even further? Maybe even just a console command to set a multiplier between 2x (current) and 8x or even 16x.
I understand that it would decrease the performance of the Captain UI.

@Darksoul1111
This mod only affects the area, which in turn can affect the rewards too but only because more sectors are visited.
If you want better rewards you want my other mod from the description:

does this mod increase the rewards like from mining or only affect the working area ?

I've tested with the mod enabled and disabled. It worked the same both ways. I tested with an explorer captain after, they discovered far more sectors as expected with and without the mod enabled.
Are you sure you're not just using a non-explorer captain? Not every captain can discover every type of sector so it can appear as if they're not doing anything even though there are visible mass sectors on radar.

I'll do some more testing later today. Not sure why there'd be sn issue though as the area is all thats changed.

+Scouting is not working.

its weird then as the only mod i remove is this one and the scouting works again.

@Lotan flan
My mod doesn't touch the scouting part of the scouting operation, only the function which controls the size of the area. I also tested it again anyway and it worked normally. You likely have a conflict or other issue.

just want to let you know that this mod breaks scouting, when the scouting operation finishes it does not reveal any systems in the area the scouting took place in

NVM, I'm dumb.

@Seamus Donohue
You're correct, that should by a Y. I've fixed it now in the affected files. Thanks for pointing it out.

I didn't notice the issue during testing as it actually works regardless, even though it shouldn't. Basegame scripts likely ensure the values are equal to the highest/X value to keep it square. I don't remember off the top of my head though.

While trying to learn how to create modification, I looked through the code for your mod and spotted something weird.

-- Ensures the resulting value is an odd number
X = utilities.makeOdd(X)
X = utilities.makeOdd(Y)

Shouldn't that last line assign to Y instead of X?

@Valto
The mod is already updated for 2.5.2, it doesn't need an update. Try unsubbing and resubbing as Steam may not have updated your local copy of the mod yet.

update plzz

@Vires Animus
The hotfix didn't touch anything related to the mod, it'll still work fine.

thank you for updating but now it is 2.5.2

Updated to 2.5.1!

Avorion new update 2.5.1, i think needed update

Thnx, was going to miss these

Updated to 2.4 for the Behemoth update!

Let me know if anything doesn't work as expected, I don't believe the update touched anything I modified but sometimes I miss things.

@Nero
I didn't encounter that particular error myself. If you're editing one of the files from this mod then I'd probably need to see what you changed to help at all. Just changing the X/Y values directly shouldn't cause any issues though as far as I know. I'd test it on a new save each time though as I'm not sure what effect it'll have on an ongoing save with ongoing missions if you change it mid-way through.

Hi, I don't know much about this stuff but I feel like I have a basic understanding, I was trying to change the AreaSize values (X,Y not the Multiplier) and anytime I changed it I would receive a error in game when attempting to Scout saying "Area Size for (ShipName) has changed"

Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Thanks.

Excellent. I subscribed.

@gussmed Here you go!

Just the trade command. To be honest I rarely use procure or sell, but I don't want a slower, more dangerous version of those.

@Gussmed, When you say "only affects trading" do you mean just the trade command? or trade, sell and procure too?

I’d like to see a version of this that only affects trading. Trades are heavily dependent on reaching different markets, and the normal range is too short to do that.

At the same time, I don’t want to make Mining / Salvaging harder to control with a larger area, or make Scouting scouting slower and chunkier.

Nice
