Not that we didn't like working with taranchuk, he's fantastic and deserved every penny!

Money lol, plus it wasn't me personally working on the mod, it was taranchuk, me and nameless split the cost to pay taranchuk originally but Zal offered to take over.

No problem, glad to be of help!

Just out of curiosity, why did you decide to stop working on this mod?

Thanks, fixed it

just so you know, the link is broken. the correct one is:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3241944893

mod is dead, check out Zaljerem's version

My brain is confused

should have labeled it "(dis)continued"

lol

Continued (Discontinued)
BRO WHAT

Yes, you can, it should be a drop-in replacement.

So, I take it that going from your version to Zaljerem's would be rather simple and easy to achieve? Can it be done to an existing game?

Whoops, this link should work. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3241944893

Hey everyone! Zaljerem and I discussed in some DMs, he will be taking over MAG with his version. The three new biotech buildings will be added to his version! While I won't be taking down this version of the mod, it is officially discontinued. Go check out his version, he's a great guy for doing this! steam://openurl/https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3241944893

First, let me apologize. I probably should have kept my fork private, but I like the mod a lot and got excited to share an updated version. I did try initially to update the Biotech components but they were and still are a bit beyond me. If you want I could add them to my version, or you could remove the content except the new pieces and we'd link to each other, or you can add my content - however you'd want to do it.

so...i got some bad news. he isn't willing to update his version with the stuff from this mod because he doesn't know biotech coding and its beyond his capabilities. but he is willing to allow you to have his patches and fixes into this version though. he wants to get in contact with you.

I was aware of it, but I didn't realize it wasn't just an update, but also a whole bunch of additional fixes and support addons. Looks like I'll just have to save up some cash and ask him to add the stuff unique to this version. I think that'd be less work overall. Oh well, in the meantime, enjoy the mod!

well this is...awkward...

oh? you weren't aware of this updated one?

well some of the fixes and patches are
fix to archotech storage
More Utility Packs (Continued)
Save Our Ship 2
VFE Insectoids Equipment
Support for More Utility Packs (Continued)

Wow, just looking at that page, maybe I shouldn't have updated this mod and just asked zal to add the additions from this one to his version...

If you could list them out for me, I might be able to, just not immediately. I'd also want to ask Zal for permission

are you going to add some other patches and fixes that this version added?

@Flockerkill Yes, I had the research assistant built; I was able to research T1 just fine. Removing *just* Research Reinvented and changing nothing else fixed the issue.

Updated to 1.5! Check change log for details, and let me know about bugs. Thanks for waiting.

nice

1.5 is in the works!

Cause reinvented worked for me last I tried (before 1.5 release)

Just to be sure : you had the research assistend build?

Update: Looks like Research Reinvented was breaking it, no idea why that would be though, because it did just fine with every other tech, including 2 other from MAG.

Having an issue in 1.4 where selecting T2 research causes my pawns to refuse research, despite having researched T1 just fine.

Could you pls have the strong archotech walls use the glowy texture and the primitive archo walls use the classic appearance texture in the Textures folder (labelled "j" and "adw" respectively) for the upcoming 1.5 update?

This is a great mod, my one suggestion is that you make the Archotech walls and doors paintable.

Nameless and I originally commissioned Taranchuk to update MAG to 1.4 since Mr. Kociak stopped development. We also paid an artist for artwork and paid Taranchuk to add the new content we wanted to add to the mod. I figured with how expensive the total cost for the update, new content and art was for the current version of the mod, even just the update alone to 1.5 would likely cost a decent amount. The next update to this mod will just be the update to 1.5. Any new content we are thinking of adding is purely hypothetical for now.

by overestimated, do you mean like it was way more costly than you thought? and if it really is that expensive, maybe you should focus on getting the mod updated to 1.5 first, just saying.

@Mr. J Soda Just talked to Taranchuk (The brilliant mastermind behind the code), and I severely overestimated the cost for the update considering the update from 1.3 to 1.4 ,including the new content,cost several hundred in artwork and code. If I just purely get the mod updated with no new content, it will be considerably cheaper than I thought (around 15$ USD), but I don't want to set any dates since I can't commission him just yet. I also apologize for anyone who might think my previous comments about needing money were subtly asking for donations, they are not, I just wanted to make sure that no false promises were set.

@deathtomato How much do you think it would cost to get the mod updated to 1.5? I know others are having to pay for mod updates, but I don't think most of us know how much a update can cost

Sorry @ozfresh, but I think it's best that those stay in a separate mod. @give me rent, Please read previous comments, I need money and time

1.5 please

Sorry, the mod I'm talking about with the nanomachinery, picomachinery, and attomachinery is https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1442734859

normally if someone ask for compatibility, the name of the mod(s) it sayed, cause you cannot expect everyone to know every mods conted

also reading the comments would help to your 1.5 question as the statement of the mod owner was given

Would you be able to add the Attomachinery, Picomachinery and nanomachinery to this mod since the modder who does that is not updating it I think?

1.5? Please!

This is my favorite mode.
I'm waiting for 1.5.
I hope it comes out quickly.

Can't wait to see this for 1.5, thank you Deathtomato!

@UncleMratni learn to read. he just said he will update IF the modders aren't busy with updating their mods for 1.5

Please update this to 1.5...

Yes, but it will take a while, I need to save up quite a bit to pay someone to update this mod and add new features. Also, most modders are very busy right now so it might take some time for me to get someone to update this.

idk if somebody asked this already but will this be updated for 1.5?

ah i see. and the psychic sooth event might also be the good archotechs. and the psychic drones might be evil archotechs inflicting pain. and of course the archotechs behind the anomalies would be considered very evil cause my lord these creatures and buildings are quite inhumane. you know, it would be neat if there was 2 factions of archotech, one the peaceful/good and the other being evil
