@Elana I think Ctrl and + cycles through BuildInfo's different modes and one of them shows thrust vectors.

I'm pretty much out of SE modding for the time being. I fix stuff if it gets broken 'cos Keen changes something but apart from that I'm on extended shore leave.
Elana 17 Apr @ 11:00am 
I have build info, but I don't see anything obvious to indicate which direction it's facing.

My suggestion:

Alter the textures on the other faces of the blocks to show a thrust indicator for placement. It doesn't need to be large, simply having a label that says something like " ^ thrust direction " would help....could even stylize it to match the lcars labels you see on things like doors, power conduits, etc for keeping the trek feel for the label.

@Elana It is difficult. I use BuildInfo so I can visualise the flame vector; I don't know of any other way offhand.
Elana 16 Apr @ 4:51pm 
How can we tell which direction the thrusters will push the craft? especially with the ones on slopes, it's difficult to tell which way they are facing for functionality.

@hyphoenix You could make a local copy for yourself of the mod since it's probably not going to change any time soon and then change away to your hearts content. I never get upset when anyone does that; I wish I could give you a config file like with the weapons so you could edit away however much you want.

Maintaining integration between your edits and the original would also require time that I don't have right now. Plus it would open the door for anyone else who has a different idea of balance. Overall the best solution for you is a local copy of the mod that you edit however you like.

To balance it i'd say Impulse should have 10% weaker thrust then Hydrogen, but around 110% more energy use then ION. So, you're forced to pick Hydrogen for power, Ion for efficiency, or Impulse for a mix of both (with the benefit of no damage and small block sizes). If I edited the patch myself that's what I would set
hyphoenix 28 Jan @ 1:24pm 
No worries, I understand that.

I know how to make the change. So hypothetically, if I edit the values by myself inside the block definitions closer matching vanilla, could I send you the new files (or values) for you to upload an optional patch? If not I won't change anything, your decision
Qarannia  [author] 28 Jan @ 8:06am 
@hyphoenix The thrusters were designed for really large, really really heavy grids (upwards of 100 mil kg). My greatest wish is for a thruster where the user can select the thrust output in the Terminal. It could "maybe" be done with scripts but it's way beyond my ability.

At the moment I don't have the time or the resources to do anything more than emergency maintenance to a mod that breaks unexpectedly.
hyphoenix 28 Jan @ 6:05am 
Is there a chance we could have an optional version of the mod balanced to the core game, instead of your method? I like it, but with no damage to nearby blocks + very high thrust, it doesn't balance well compared to other vanilla thrusters
Qarannia  [author] 26 Jan @ 2:56pm 
@hyphoenix Hmmm, Does the same thing happen if you use different types of vanilla thrusters in a group?
