PK's Rebalancing Unofficial patch

[Carrnage]

There seems to be an incompatibility with the new roofing system, when generating an evac shelter many of the the new roof structures will not be there and instead there’ll be a hole in the ceiling.

EDIT: if it was unclear i am talking about an incompatibility with standard unstable rather than cata++

[dissociativity]

fixed that, it wasn’t all shelters, it was just one particular arrangement that comes with the barn nearby

i’m really not sure, but i believe this mod may be an interactor in the problems i’ve been having with the no fungal mod, here is the github issue:

Issue: no fungal mod does not actually properly stop fungal creatures and structures from spawning

[dissociativity]

You can make a patch yourself if you like, just remove all fungal things from pk_regional_overlay.json
I’m not sure why you’d want triffids not to spawn, they’re not fungal and don’t spread like fungals do, they’re useful for unlimited vegetable matter for cooking and plant fiber from the stalks so you never run out of thread.

pk_spawnlist_triffgus.json too, you figure it out, the mod isn’t intended for playing with removing things, so you’ll probably see fungal ants or zombies even with the no fungus mod occasionally unless you purge it all.

Unfortunately you can’t expect a mod that makes the game harder to also cater to things you’ve done that make it easier.

I’d make a patch, but I have little time to maintain the mod as is.

Hey dissociativity, just tried to run the game with the latest experimental and got the following message. Thank you again for maintaining this amazing mod!

I got that same error, so I tried to fix it according to the error log.
Simply added the “description” in the json file data/mods//PKs_Rebalancing-master/PKs_Rebalancing-master//pk_map_furniture.
Then the game tells me that I need to add description to EVERY GOD DAMN file in PKs mod !

[Orange01]

Yeah i reverted back to version 9111, which is right before the mandatory descriptions. Works fine.

[dissociativity]

working on it, fairly busy but I’ve at least progressed a bit in fixing all these new changes up

[dissociativity]

Alright, seems to work fine now!

Hey dissociativity, tried to run the game with the latest experimental (9120) and got the following message.

apologies, looks like I missed some

[dissociativity]

oops, I missed one, fixed now

[TooDAMNMuch]

i’m insulted, i just get sick of having to burn down every forest inside the reality bubble because ONE FUCKING SPORE spawned somewhere and i missed it.

easy, pfft as if that’s what i want, i only disable things that can cripple game performance for the most part.

This is the entry for fungal spores from monsters.json. Change the 100 to a 0 and you should be good to go for 99% reduction in fungal spread. Of course…this means they won’t despawn, they’ll evolve into fungaloids eventually. so change that too if you want. slap the new entry into a blank json in PK’s pack, add your override flags if those are still a thing… I’m about 80% sure this will work 100%.

[Malkeus]

You’re welcome. I think you’ll find any criticism will get more traction if it were constructive. All you’ve got there is an obscure whine with no suggestions for improvement. The cursing probably doesn’t help your case either.

[dissociativity]

I don’t see why the patch in the mods folder shouldn’t work, if any files error, just delete those, you only need the modinfo file with the monster blacklist and the overmap specials one realistically for it to work properly.

[Senteth]

With the latest versions of the game, I keep getting error messages when loading an old save with this mod enabled or starting a new character in a fresh world.

The first few are about flare ammo, and are easily fixed as described here.

Pretty minor, and not the reason I’m here for. After that though, there’s a long series of game-breaking errors all about invalid overmap terrain IDs. Here’s the first one:

DEBUG : invalid overmap terrain id “cabin_strange_north”

FUNCTION : int_id generic_factory::convert(const string_id&, const int_id&) const [with T = oter_t]
FILE : src/generic_factory.h
LINE : 384

As always, tested using the latest version of the mod from github.

[Zhilkin]

Affected overmap terrains should be made rotatable.

[dissociativity]

It was a bit more complex and a pain, it took a while to do, but the mod works again!, updated!
