is this mod compatable with previous saves as usual?

Yes.

how does getting money work

You get subscription payments at the beginning of a season, based on your broadcast quality, consistency, and the number of nearby settlements. They will drop items using the same mechanics as orbital traders - a beacon isn't required, but it can be used to control where the items are delivered.

In addition, doing really will will increase your standings with the factions of the settlements within range.

Is this incompatible with anything? I know it probably isnt but IIRC the original author had a couple of mods that didnt play well with Psychology.

Not that I know of. The original incompatibilities were fixed by my old sub-mod RazzleDazzle+, and have carried over to this. In addition, the extra skills have been removed so it should be fine.

So is it safe to add midgame? Secondly, I have quite a few hrs in my current save, so just in case I encounter some of the bugs detailed by others in the comment section...is it safe to temporarily uninstall until we can get the bugs squashed?

I got recommended not to install in my existing save

A minor request for the eventual B19 update: A version that meshes with Additional Joy Objects, which has paper and blank books as a consumable resource and a separate "writing desk" workshop item.

i used both in b18 no issues

So did I, but it always bugged me that they couldn't share resources.

Writing a book (AJO) requires you to make paper from wood, then make a blank book from paper and cloth or leather, and then write the book using the writing desk. Writing a play (this mod) involves none of that, uses only a bit of leather, and takes place at a sculptor's table. And composing music seems to use no resources at all. It was annoyingly inconsistent, at least to me.

Oh damn. yeah that does suck, unfortunately the author of AJO has quit and his mod doesnt look like its coming even for 1.0 at this rate.

how about 1.0

I never tried but maybe we can play this version in 1.0 anyway? Does RW let us play outdated mods?
