Hi,

I'm not sure if this is right here because technically it is not a bug with the main game but a strange conflict with a different mod, in this case Storage Crates: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=756216922.

It seems that somehow the Steel Plates in your mod "overwrite" the Steel Crate Plates used in Storage Crates. After installing your mod the recipie in the Machining Bench for creating Steel Crate Plates created Steel Plates for your Mod. After I canceled the bill the recipe for creating Steel Crate Plates was gone entirely.
Your mod loads after Storage Crates.

Just wanted to let you know. :)

Ah, okay. Thats a rather simple fix, i will have it fixed in the next update.

The conflict should be fixed now, if you wouldn't mind testing the new update and letting me know <3

The fix to the conflict breaks existing saves. Link to pastebin errors below.

Ah, ♥♥♥♥... Yeah, I didn't think about that, to fix the conflict I had to change def names, which doesnt work if the items are already placed... I will change the def names back for the walls. That should fix a majority of the issues. the steel plates won't be an issue, unless you havea stock of them already.

Okay, I changed the def names of the walls and fences back,the steel plates I did not change. if you already have a metal working table, you''ll need to rebuild it to get it to have the new work recipe.

after that, the errors should be gone, aside from the steel plate reference.

Attempt to reload your save again after downloading the change I just made., let me know if it loads. as I said, it should now just throw a recipe error, and steel plate error, to fix that just replace the metal working table.

Error again, still won't load my save. 2 errors for not being able to load steel plates, an error for the existing recipe, and some config errors for the new turrets not having a tech level.

I should note the new turret errors aren't fatal errors like the ones with the steel plates and steel plates recipe. Those are more warnings I suspect.

Odd, I never recieved anything about the turrets in debug, I did however recieve a message for the plates and recipes on an existing save, but it still loaded.

Is it loading the game and throwing those errors? Or not laoding the map at all?

Hello again,

thx for the compatibility patch(es) :).
It now loads fine with walls and Metal Working Table.

Unfortunately, I could not load the map while I had a stack of the Metal Plates lying around. I found a workaround that worked for me and may help some people who have the same problem. So I want to share it here. Be warned, it involves fiddling with your savegame file.

1. Find the save file you that crashes the game on your harddisk. (You can get to the save folder via the ingame options menu)
   
2. Make a copy of that file.
   
3. Open the copy with your favourite text editor (I use Notepad++).
   
4. Find the part in the file that looks something like this:
   
   <thing Class="ThingWithComps"> <def>SteelPlate</def> <id>SteelPlate1325659</id> <map>0</map> <pos>(97, 0, 145)</pos> <health>70</health> <stackCount>83</stackCount> </thing>
   The id, pos, health and stackCount will probably be different.
   
5. Delete this part. If you have multiple stacks there will be multiple entries, you need to delete all of them.
   
6. Save the file and open in Game. The stack will now be gone ingame. The new metal plates should not cause any problems.

Avoler, you could have just changed <def>SteelPlate</def> to <def>DDA_SteelPlate</def> which is the new defname for the steel plates. I even left instructions in another thread which DaemonDeathAngel pinned. That lets you keep the steel plates you already crafted.

Damn,
and I felt so smart for figuring it out myself...

Probably should have looked into the other threads first.

Avoler, we will not seny you being smart my friend =D What you did works too =p

So... I just picked up this mod and well.

Shotgun Turret has the Sniper Rifle Turret Description and fires like the Sniper Rifle turret.

Added Screenshot to my page of the Description.
