@RKTY okay? you're making a bug report about an unrelated mod having some bad interaction with vanilla buildings, what does that have to do with my mod?

Enemies try to attack the scrap turrets with Combat AI 5000

OK I see the issue. I was subscribed to the old version too.

@John DeWolf no idea, can confirm there's only one copy of the mod on my end

Why does this mod show up twice in rimpy?

@turkler It's my fault for using 2 mods that change the same in game items.

Im sorry if I came across as complaining about it, my intent was to share a "Look at this funny interaction I ran into" moment. I genuinely love the mod and the whole scravenger feel and junkyard ruins aesthetic.

Either way, Happy New Years! Excited to see what your bring to Rimworld and the CE experience I'm the future!

@Cpt. Flapjack I can't balance other people's mods. if you believe that's a problem then you should complain to the developers of VVE - Deconstructable Vehicles Junk, not me

Decided to give this a try to fit a scrapper/scavenger type play through with vehicles. While using "VVE - Deconstructable Vehicles Junk" I ended up with a cluster of the ancient vehicle engines, and mining them got me components AND engine blocks. Had like 35 engines in a couple minutes. Other than that, great mod!

Thank you!

@tanyfilina every junk group has the field coveredCellsPer10Cells>X~Z</coveredCellsPer10Cells, reduce entries with those values around 3-4 to 1-2

Which parameter should I tweak to make them smaller? I've tried "lump size" in RIMMSqol, but that seems to have minor effect.

@tanyfilina that's intended, some of the junk groups are a bit more dense to make up for the removal of compacted machinery from world generation

I'm getting horrible amounts of this junk, really large groups like of 20-30 items or more. Probably some mod interaction though.

@lydocia it's an issue on that mod's end probably - this mod uses the vanilla junk scatterer step

@Lydocia, that is probably an issue with Geological Landforms, since it controls the map generation for those maps.

Also, this doesn't work well with geological landforms - on maps with landforms like lakes or coasts, there is no salvage to get components from but there are also no compacted components generated.

I'm getting meteor drops with salvage, that can't be the intention.

@Bread I'll see what I can do

A small caveat I have with this mod is that the screen shakes slightly when they are mined out, not a big issue but it gets annoying with super fast miners

@VitaKaninen yes but important changes, like specialized scatter groups and removal of compacted machinery, won't apply when added mid save

Safe to add mid-game?

new update is out, reducing yields to more reasonable levels

probably, though I personally like the junkyard aesthetics of more cluttered patches of junk

Would it be possible to spawn less scrap items, make them drop more compact machinery but make them harder to mine? It looks kinda weird to have 38 engines lying on the ground in one spot

you had me hooked until you removed compact machinery
you'd make a great vanilla expanded dev

@TeH_Dav it's an issue on their end unfortunately, nothing I can do to fix it

This seems to be in conflict with DBH Addons, which makes the kitchen sinks into useable sinks. With both installed it makes the sinks appear as a 9x9 square. I don't know if it effects their functionality or not. Would it be possible to patch for this?

Great idea, I always thought compacted machinery (and mineable plasteel) make no sense

@surefirecure components are now found in salvage piles, yes

So are the components now found in the salvage piles, or must they be built from scratch from the salvage?

we salvaging the rim with this one boyzzz

@LZIM you're free to commission me for my time if you'd like to fund such a feature, yes

let me try another way, can you put mod options with the option for players to preserve the vanilla behavior of digging out components from exposed geology while also benefiting from your vision of what you think the game must be for anyone that must use this mod?

@LZIM because this is mod is not vanilla, lol

why remove compacted machinery from spawning in exposed geology when thats a vanilla feature?

re: " in vanilla and changing it to something else would disrupt the balance of the game."

Almost as good as Highmates can be fat
