I hope this get updated to (1.6)

Hoping this great mod gets updated

@[RTB] Sarianos It's as the tables descriptions.

@CrazyAdept maybe in a different mod. But I dont have the time right now.

@EnderNyktos Does this affect the drop rate of VFE-M's mechanoid components?

Any chance for support for Mechanoids from Alpha Mechs, Beyond Our Reach, and Kraltech Industries?

This mod work in a previous save?

thanks for this mod.

Question, do you think it would be possible to include Alpha mech's in this?

@SILVERIII U dont need the old version, this version works alone.

Did I still need normal version of better mech drop?This looks like better than old one.

@Ben Dover Yes, i will. But now there's an event at Dota 2, I'm playing that with some friends, after the event ends I'll be back to finish the mod.

You're goated - by the way - will you also be able to apply the same patch to the mechanoid corpses of Machines of Wars?

Thanks for this!!!

Nice this is what i was looking for. FSF versoin was way to overpowered in both resource and what resources you got.(never had to make any subcores myself)
I do wonder how is this affected by the VE:skills mod the mechanoid dismanteler trait.

@TacoLite You're welcome.

@EnderNyktos Thank you for using the Change Notes tab to document your updates. I really appreciate the quick reference rather than skimming comment chains and discussions - in preparation of updating local copies of mods.

@Natrukei [] Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your quick fix.

I can confirm that Stonecutting is fixed and I have no reason to think the VFE Insects would be different but I can't test that for atleast the next 12 hours.

@Natrukei [] I think it's solved. Can you confirm that? It was because it says ["defName and its supposed to be [defName=...

@Natrukei [ ] Yeah, I was thinking on that part. The loot is non of the VFE Mechanoids, it's 30 steel, 2 slag chunks, 30 steel and 2 component at the Alpha Mechs similar to "Incinerator". 3 Incinerator makes 90 steel, 6 chunks, 90 plasteel and 6 components.

Okay now comes the fun part: Commenting out a single patch wasn't enough.
I had to comment out VFE_Mech_Advanced_Phalanx, VFE_Mech_Advanced_Fireworm AND VFE_Mech_Advanced_Siegebreaker to solved the bug. I got different Loot from it after commenting one out but I had to comment out all of these to completely solve it.


So maybe you should check your Patch if they all give their intended Loot or if one of them overwrites the other in the Normal Loot Table aswell.

It's something withing Loot_ AdvAlphaMechs.xml

Removing your VFE.Mechanoids Folder from Patches the stonecutting bug stops. But it is not the Advanced Centipede Patch as I commented it out in a recent try.

For the Stonecutting bug I can confirm it is this mod or atleast it's part of it. Removed it and didn't get any "extra Parts".
Before I got

6 Chunks
6 Components
90 Steel
90 Plasteel

from the Any x3 by Stonecutting extended.

I'll continue narrowing it down.

And for me it is, so far, only the VFE Insectoids Mod. The Core Insectoids are still fine.

It is NOT Stonecutting Extended.

If you can remove VFE mechanoids or Alpha Mechs, maybe one of those mods is getting the error.

@doom587 yes, i can't fix it if I can't replicate it. I have tried with the mods listed for other users, but the problem doesn't show for me.

it does seem unusual that it's catching on Specifically mods that add different types of bug creatures to the game admittedly. as for cutting stone chunks with the 'Any' option, that i don't have a clue for.

i assumed it was an incompatibility with my mods list, so i thought nothing of it, but seeing as other's are having similar issues i figured i would provide a more detailed point to what was broken for you. at minimum i presume there's likely a common mod that this may be incomparable with. or it's catching on more than what's intended.

have the same problem of butchering bugs, and crafting stone blocks, particularly the jellypot from Biomes! Caverns, and as for cutting blocks it was specifically with the 'cut any stone block' option. this was fixed after i removed this mod.

@Natrukei I've checked the Insectoid race from VFE Insectoids and there shouldn't be any conflict. This mods changes the butcher products of specific units, except the Centipedes which is a family: gunner, burner, etc.

@Natrukei Does removing this mod solves the problem?

Edit: Steel, Plasteel and Components aswell.

Urm,

I get Steel Chunks while slaughtering Creatures froim VFE:Insectoids... Pretty sure it is this mod since I only changed this recently about Corpses...

Could you look into that?

@Moonscorp @Sloopy Playtime I couldn't reply the problem. Maybe is another mod and not Tweaks Galore.

i think the loot is similar to a scyther

I had the reported issue and isolated it to this issue too. I was getting about 2 components, about maybe 20-30 plasteel and steel slag chunks. No gold

@Moonscorp Does it happens with any type of rocks? Also how much loot it gives you?

for some reason, when i do stonecutting, itll also give me steel slag, plasteel, and components. i think theres some bug about it.

Im using tweaks galore to adjust stonecutting be a crafting skill, nothing else affects stonecutting afaik.

@_baseplate I haven't tested 1.5 yet, but neither couldn't find anything on the wiki

wouldn't it make more sense to have the mechanoid chunk instead of the slag chunk now?

@EnderNyktos Thanks a lot! I appreciate the work you put in on this mod!

@Farron Done! But there's a problem with the Slurrymaster, I can't find the Def archive. I've asked it on the Alpha Mechs page, as soon they answer I'll update the mod again.

Dominion = 20 Steel | 2 Steel Slag Chunk | 20 Plasteel | 0 Gold | 3 Component

Here are the Hardware Upgraded versions I suggest

Alpha Mechs include utility mechs (I don't think they show up in raids?) And 3 extra boss mechanoids I think, i left the bosses out cause I was trying to follow your formula (It looks like you left the bosses in vanilla default as well?).

@Farron almost done, but there's no loot for Apoptosis, Infernus, MasterChef, Pristine Assembler, Pristine Slurrypede, Pristine Strider, TurboCleaner and War Empress; and the adv versions of the alpha mechs.
