I'm getting bombed with no indication there's even an enemy fleet at a planet.

I guess I should revert to Stable even though it has bugs itself. :(


Can you upload the save where this is happening? (If you're on the dev GoG build, the "upload game logs" button in options should be working again ...

It seems to work well so far!

:D

Has this mod informed any changes you might make to the main game in the upcoming expansion?

I haven't looked in great detail at all the changes this mod makes, but my sense, reading through the changes, is that it primarily is what it claims to be -- a ...

Current version, in a new install, gave this error when I was ending a turn:


Same song, different verse, I think. I just went through and deleted *all* the files in this mod that appear to be exact copies of the current 'stable' versions up on steam. In theory, that should limit any bugs that ...

I get this when I click on populations.


As best as I can tell, this one has nothing to do with the new mod features -- this is an incompatibility with some morale mechanics fixes that are bundled with the current "in_development" features.

If I'm right, there's no features in this mod which ...

(just updated my patch again, because i noticed that it was overwriting (unnecessarily) some of the new mod-compatibility features in game_io.lua).

(testing this mod has revealed a few ways the modding system in the current build could be made more robust. i've just pushed some more changes related to that on steam. and, also, patched my test zip here just a little bit more.)

So I tried getting this mod to work with the current in_development modding system on Steam. It might sortof work? I had to tweak the start screen stuff a little (because that's most of what changed), but I think otherwise it's maybe compatible?

<edit: i updated this zip twice on Jan 2nd -- just ...

I've been keeping this mod up to date with the latest in_development snapshot as a way of testing the new modding features. Here's a copy the updated zip.

Re: Steam Community Thread: Mods with the new Version

This tiny home_systems.lua mod works for me? Might be that you didn't get the folder path in your test mod right?

Any old text editor should work, I think. But a relatively light programming editor like visual studio code will probably be more comfortable, because it will recognize the file as a a Lua dialect, and color code stuff like comments for you.

The difference in the 2 code blocks is subtle if you're ...

I find tuning difficulties one of the hardest things to do as a dev -- after a given patch/rebalance pass, I know what feels "relaxed", "challenging", and "nearly impossible" for *me*, but everyone coming into the game has their own perspective.

A lot of modern games have started sortof "passing ...

It's expected. Tinkers empires became an official part of the main game when the DLC launched. Buying the DLC gets you the ability to play as this new faction, but they're meant to be a part of the game regardless.

Glad forum is back.

I'm honestly not 100% sure I've fixed the forum. I've been messing around with some updates for our servers, which when it's done will hopefully stop stuff from crashing again for the foreseeable future, but the forum and website will likely flicker on and off a few more times ...

But if I try to use rpairs instead, it complains about an "attempt to compare two nil values".

I don't actually have the code up, but, if I recall correctly, my rpairs is similar to the 'spairs' code you linked, but the sorting function works differently. In the code you linked, the sorting ...

How would I go about adding Opil crystals to all island worlds?

I don't have the code in front of me right now, but, off the top of my head...

The easiest option is probably to just write a for loop over the all_planets list that adds the opil special to any planet with the 'Island' type. There ...
