Ouch, that’s a lot of wasted time. The bug thing…nobody will give you a fair hearing unless you can reproduce it in vanilla. It’s always been that way and makes sense from a sanity and time perspective. Some people are dicks about it though. I’m guessing you ran into one of them.
I can’t follow the reasoning behind reducing cargo dimensions volume limits to deal with a problem with low weight items…that one’s beyond me. I imagine it will get a lot of attention when people start to notice. Hopefully this is one that gets reworked.
New update:
increased vehicle armor plating, frame, board, and quarterpanel defense
nanosuit flags re-ordered for ease of reading in json, added climate control and some other useful bits
nanotech holster, sheath, and magazine holder
set reload times for guns
moved guns to use abstract to make future work easier
increased coverage of storage items
Another tiny update: liquid compressor 10x max size up to 2500L (good luck moving it like that) because vehicle tank didn’t work and it was either buff the personal item or nerf the vehicle one to make it work. I dislike nerfs, so have a buff, even if it is useless since you can’t carry that much weight. If you have a tank installed on your vehicle, you need to remove it and put it back to fix it.
Unless more bugs are found, next will be melee weapons and the start of work on turrets or everything for turrets depending on how much I feel like doing. And maybe fridge/freezer too.
How about a fungus like “infestion” by a out of control Nano-control tower (or something like that). Would spread and infect creatures kinda like fungus. It could offer great rewards (nanites extracted from the corpses/some sort of source for AI cores, a permanent source of nanites if you reprogram the control tower etc.) of course getting close and even just survivng would be a REALLY hard challenge (creatures could regenerate, the nanite infested floor could spawn enemies from time to time if you are on it [maybe even some stationary turret/tentacles to attack you] and overall rather high hit-points/armor [unless you use EMP, but that should only work to a certain degree]) Now imagines a nanite-infested hulk chasing you down
bugfixes:
mag holder arm+leg bug fixed, only arm now
holster, sheath, magholder were larger than intended due to copying and not double checking, size has been reduced
vehicle parts fold volume was way too high due to poor copy/paste skills
vehicle parts can be repaired while attached to vehicle now
mini-shoggoth storage didn’t have proper flags to be worn as a mutant, nor did it allow natural attacks, fixed
fixed plural names for nanites
changed:
nanotech frames turned to hybrid frames, and disassemble is possible for them
all nanotech vehicle parts have some damage reduction and some have improved hp
holster+sheath store two items, not one
did looks_like for some more gear
electronic feedstock can be made from 3 copper tubing directly instead of having to disassemble them
metal feedstock can be made from 4 small sheet metal directly instead of having to disassemble them
new:
proper nanotech frames added
melee weapons and shield added
blacklist avoidance trick wasn’t working for others, new laptop added for those that have it blacklisted, useless for anything except entry into nanotech
notes for anyone working on tilesets to use for appearance ideas
bunch of electronics crafting from feedstock added
ai cores from feedstock
tent crafting added
added metal nanopowder, a liquid metal used for turrets as well as an option in crafting ammo bricks, and can be crafted back into metal feedstock if you ever need to for some odd reason
new vehicle parts: aisle (assists with lifting large objects nearby), roof (acts as a turret mount), fridge, and freezer
nanotech vehicle turrets (shredder, pistol, rifle, smg) that use liquid ammo so they don’t need reloading individually
Changed:
nanite power cell can use metal feedstock directly instead of just canister, and is dark craftable
bunch of crafting fixed to be craftable in the dark
sheet metal uses proper amount of feedstock and time now
capitalization removed to match base game
added small sheet metal to ammo recipes
vehicle storage uses mini-shoggoth as part instead since it is basically the same thing
nanotech compression tank in vehicle folded to half its own size, now folds to proper size
thought mini-shoggoth was tier 3, but it wasn’t so now it is
pipe added to metal feedstock and nanopowder recipes, though it is a bit of a loss of mass
electronic scrap added to electronic feedstock recipe
copper pot added to electronic feedstock recipe (slight loss in mass, similar to pipe for metal)
multitool and guns can take damage from melee combat, unbreakable was intended as a temporary thing before repairs were possible and then was forgotten
feedstock now has a volume, this was a bug due to forgetting about it
nanotech blade and dagger now require a way to program them
AI cores now all have the same size/mass, all things that use AI cores updated with their mass included (excluding nanofactories and programmers)
Sorry about the delay, was asleep. To get started you need an experimental nanite fabricator which is only found in labs or science corpse spawns with extremely low chance, as well as an experimental AI core, which is part of the tier system, and you always want to collect more of those. You also need 10 fabrication until you can get a nanofactory going. The beginning is extremely expensive, with the costs reducing significantly with each tier you go through.
Edit: After getting lucky while hitting a few science labs, and disassembling them into feed. I have now gotten into the vehicle part of your mod, while highly enjoying the parts i have to ask for a non-door quarterpanel/board as I would like the option to have them as impassable.
I’m new to this mod and a little confused. I’ve found an experimental nanite fabricator, I need Nanite Core MK.1 to start working with nano stuff. But to make the core, it requires advanced nano tools ?
Can you help me ? @Shard
You should be able to craft the core with a programming laptop (workaround for mods blacklisting control laptop) or the basegame control laptop. The nanotech tools are there so that you can throw away the basic laptop once you get into the nanotech stuff.
Bugfixes:
Several items now have trader_avoid, which was missing before
Spelling fixes
Better description for nanotech dagger.
Crawler’s utter lack of ability to deal with offroad fixed
Nerfs:
Banks suck for finding cores now
Experimental Fabricator is less common
Bio-compatible nanites half as common
Starting costs for metal, gold, and carbon on nanites are higher
Buffs:
Labs have highly increased chance of finding cores
Boards/quarterpanels/aisles all have small cargo storage and act as workbenches
Boards/quarterpanels/aisles/roof all act as tables
Crawler (wheel) is no longer ‘under’ slot, so it can be placed on same tile as boat hull
Anima (engine) buffed significantly to maintain similar strength as before engine changes
Starting costs for copper and plastic on nanites are lower
Plastic costs on nanites reduce very quickly and eventually are removed
Copper costs on nanites reduce quickly
New:
Nanotech turrets can now switch to independent deployment and be placed as monsters. Unfortunately ammo is lost when packing back up, but since it is just metal, it shouldn’t matter much
Foldable boat hull
Removed:
Crafting for lightstrip and battery compartment removed due to removal from game
New:
Added some basic nanotech terrain as prep for mapgen (no way to make yet)
Vehicle parts - Nanotech Crafting Node + Doors
Changed:
Quarterpanels/aisles no longer act as crafting stations (too many crafting stations slowed crafting to a crawl)
All vehicle parts have immensely more armor since collisions are still too dangerous
Quarterpanels/boards can no longer open/close and act as doors - this was causing problems with large numbers of npcs
Fixed multiple incorrect descriptions
Passive armor plating does does normal impact damage
Active armor plating shreds things better on impact
Nanotech liquid compressor now has very good insulation
Fixed requirement overrides to include multicooker
Cleaned up vehicle parts code a bit
