Hi, just wanted to warn you that sr_strange_matter is already used by Hypothetical Stars.
You'll want to use a more unique identifier to avoid conflicts.

Thanks for that.

Thanks for the report; I will push a fix ASAP.

Looks like the gravimetric line of weapons are being unlocked by the tier 1 weapon technologies. Gravimetric lasers by red lasers, etc. Not 100% certain this is actually unintended as its my first time trying this mod out, but figured I'd post just in case.

Yes this is unintentional. Thanks for your report. A fix has been applied, update the mod and it should be good to go.

So, I've got the "Planetary Blockade" event. I decided to send in a specops team to deal with it. The situation went through successfully, aaand... nothing happened. Absolutely nothing. The Blockade's still there and all, and it's been there for several years by now.

Thanks for your report. I have implemented a quick fix while I explore the issue in greater detail. The event should now end automatically after at maximum 2 years. The fix should also apply to your current save and your doomed planet

I've run into a few bugs with this mod. Nothing game breaking though.
1. The mars project ship just disappeared on loading a save with no way to rebuild it.
2. Hypernuclear Matter disappeared from my galaxy at one point. I had the perk acquired to farm it and had several sources and a couple of thousand units of it stored up then all my stores and sources of it in the galaxy disappeared.
3. During the event where a person hijacks a bunch of droids and blockades one of my planets I chose the use special forces option. After sending them in the event just disappeared and the blockade never ended. A few decades later I started getting pop ups for designs left there but the blockade modifier is still on that planet.

Mod seems quite good though. Not sure what caused my issues because I'm running several mods AND there was a small update to stellaris that slipped in at one point.

Thanks so much for your in-depth post.
1: This issue may have been caused by me in an update (oops, my bad) I will implement a fix that gives an option to rebuild it if it suspiciously disappears. This may also happen if somehow the ship dies outside of combat, like through an event of some sort.
2: This probably was also my fault when I fixed the issue Inny brought up about mod conflicts and sr_strange_matter. Unfortunately, there is not much I can do about that one (the save itself is probably borked), sorry!
3: This issue has been documented by The Next Decade. The issue is fixed and there is a retro-active fix implemented now; that modifier should disappear within 2 years even for existing saves.

Thanks so much for bringing these issues to my attention so that I can make sure everything is working properly.

Hi!

I'm getting 2 types of bugs.
1. I'm not seing any of the new resources in my topbar (I'm using the universal resource patch, below this mod in the mod loader)
--are they supposed to remain "hidden" until you unlock them (via perk?)? All other resources from other mods are visible in the drop-down menu.
oop, reread the description, nvm

2. I'm (still) getting Gravimetric weapons unlocked at game start, even though I'm using the latest update.
EDIT: Noticed it has "zero point power" as a prerequisite.
I will look for a mod in my list which might have something to do with unlocking that one early (I've had issues before with early unlocked amoeba H-modules lmao), but I'm having a hard time figuring out how that could trigger *your* tech to be unlocked as well? :/

Paired with the fact that I'm unsure if I can even access the required resources, this fact gives me slight anxiety lmao

I noticed now your mod is p high up.
Imma try to move your mod further down, see if that changes anything
EDIT-CONT:
it stopped gravimetric weapons from being automatically assigned to corvettes at least, but still getting drawn on homesystem starbase.
I can live with that tho lol.

Hi Barkingnoise, I won't quote your response because it is quite long, but in terms of:

1: Yes the Universal patch works basically by manually incorporating the resources from mods (I assume mod authors can request to have their resources added), I have not done that yet but I will see about getting that done.

2: I actually have had similar issues as well, I thought I fixed it in a recent patch by adding the weapons to a new technology that can't be research normally. But I will look into how it might be appearing on starbases.

Thanks heaps for your in-depth post and helping me out on this issue!

1. Yes I took a look at the code of the resource patch and it looks like it is pretty simple to add a new resource. I just snuck your resource names into the files and it seems to have worked without any hiccup.
I guess its just a matter of the mod author to get the time to do it, I'm sure they'll be happy to should you just ask!

2. Small clarifying update on that:
I get the gravimetric lasers appearing in the ship designer too as options from game start, so it's not isolated to starbases and *might* has something to do with the tech being unlocked too soon somehow (or the modules not properly gated behind it for some reason?) - but comparing your code in ss_technology with vanilla and other mods, nothing looks like it shouldn't (the only notable difference is that your "is_rare = yes" is separated with an empty line, but afaik that shouldn't affect any of that).
So probably nothing to do with how you've set up the requirements in that particular file.

... I kept checking the files for clues and I think I found *something*.
In component_templates/ss_weapons in the "gravimetric torpedo" there is no "prerequisites" line.
There *is* one under both abyssal lasers tho, so that *still* doesnt explain why the lasers are showing up even tho I shouldn't have "tech_gravimetric_weapons" unlocked at gamestart.

I'm so confused.

Stellaris giveth and taketh away. Sometime bugs produce... weird results. In this case, I added that prerequisite to gravimetric torpedoes and it looks like that issue is fixed (those weapons are not showing up in the ship designer or on starbases in a fresh game) even for the abyssal lasers. Why is that how it works? I don't know.

Thanks heaps though for looking into this for me! Do let me know if that bug keeps popping up.

I think My AI Federation member got Softlocked into Trying to merge the Mars Project Ship with Another Fleet.
