Mikey's Tweaks and Additions

Description
TL;DR
This is my first publically posted mod containing a few bits and bobs I've been working on with more coming soon.
So far it adds the following: 2 new nav consoles + a new text terminal, 3 new reactors and some extra job space.
Hope you guys like these additions and find good uses for them.


Navigation Terminals
These are designed to make the game more challenging power wise for those wanting a reason to put some more focus toward their power management.

Extra buttons:
The extra buttons nav console does what it says on the tin, it adds 3 additional buttons to use.


Integrated Terminal:
The text terminal nav console however replaces the buttons entirely for those who want more control over their sub's functions using signal check and regex components.


Text Terminal Monitor:
A new text terminal meant for use with these navigation terminals meant to replace or be used over top a status monitor for cases where the status monitor serves no purpose such as in the case of remote controlled vessels. A neat bonus I found is that placing a status monitor first followed by this new terminal gives the text terminal a neat live wallpaper when linked to the navigation terminal. (The sub depicted here is the Olympus for those interested)
Disclaimer: For compatibility and bug related reasons with overrides, this will not work with vanilla navigation terminals, sorry.



Reactors
These are designed to make the game more challenging power wise for those wanting a reason to put some more focus toward their power management. All of these reactors have had their fuel consumption rates modified to compensate their changed fuel values to more or less match the efficiency of a regular vanilla reactor.

Defective Reactor:
A well worn and dysfunctional reactor that's not quite what it used to be requiring more often than not two fuel rods to run under typical loads from what I've seen.
×0.5 fuel amount and consumption vs vanilla


The Micro reactor:
A rather small and subsequently hot running reactor with half the slots, this small lad is meant to be used in lower power draw situations such as on small vessels, shuttles and as an auxiliary power source. Also sorry but due to a major lack of art skills I'm just using the regular reactor scaled down as the sprite but if someone wants to help me on this, let me know.
×1.5 fuel amount and consumption vs vanilla


Jumbo Reactor:
A large and hefty reactor with 6 fuel rod slots and increased temperature capacity to supply outposts and large ships with plenty of power where needed.
×0.75 fuel amount and consumption vs vanilla



Jobs
Finally I've also increased the body count of some jobs, here's what I've got so far and honestly I'm genuinely contemplating making additional jobs too:
You can have two (2) captains, five (5) security and three (3) medics for use in larger servers or just people really wanting a larger group of a particular job type.



Closing thoughts
I'm going to be slowly adding to this mod as time goes on so feel free to suggest ideas or even help out if you want, you'll be able to find me on the barotrauma discord if you want to chat. On top of this I'm also going to eventually include a source mod to add additional features and fixes that myself or others in the community have requested.

As a final note, if you would like to see translations and are willing to assist in providing them please contact me, I've seen mods that have translated versions and honesty I feel like it'd be best to just include those translations in the mod itself.

I can understand the desire to double check your mod just to make sure it isnt broken
Mc Fow1er  [author] 2 May, 2021 @ 7:06pm 
I'll probably have to go through my mod and check that everything's up to snuff but yeah I'll give it all a look and let you know here. Thanks for actually being interested enough to do this by the way. Assuming I have enough drive one day, I'll probably sit down and work on an extensive core mod meant to tackle a few things and additions I make overall, plus a general internal core meant for actually making some modding doable that's normally broken.

Also I dont think Embrace the Abyss has done anything that would mess with pre-existing features since the update was all about radiation abyss creatures and abandoned outposts

I have already made a batch of modules called the "New Series" since the originals bugged after Embrace the Abyss dropped Ill send you a link to the mod that will (Hopefully) have them all

I mean fair enough I suppose, For a good chunk of time I was working on a mod that essentially was taking another mod from the workshop and overhauling it a ton and honestly I quickly hit a point of "I need to actually just make even more stuff just to make this even work properly at this point" which I then stopped working on cause I stopped playing the game practically at all but I am interested in getting back into it all. If you want to do some serious work and have me upload it as part of my mod with some extra elbow grease I wont say no so long as they pass my personal standard, it ain't too high but we all gotta have standards.

Eh you got 42 more people then me thats semi-popular for me
Mc Fow1er  [author] 30 Apr, 2021 @ 8:26am 
I mean I wouldn't be opposed to that but I wouldn't say this is even semi-popular and I haven't touched the game in a hot minute, though I wouldn't mind getting back into the groove and working on this mod and another some more.

"Or even help out if you want" Does this mean I can build station modules for you and have you upload them on a semi-popular mod?!
Mc Fow1er  [author] 20 Feb, 2021 @ 3:24pm 
Thanks, I saw nobody else had done these sorts of additions so I was just like "Well, why not? I want these changes, maybe others will enjoy them."

My dude, all of this is straight out awesome.
