[[REQ]Faction Mod, any thoughts?]

I'd like to ask if there are any existing faction mods. I've heard that there's one existing but I cant seem to find it here in the forums. It might be a private mod for one of the servers I've been to.

[Cryo chambers, put unused crew in stasis]

I'd like to suggest the idea of cryochambers or cryochamber blocks to put unused crew in stasis. I got this idea when I thought I didnt want to pay the salaries of the crew in my idle ships or if I have a large frigate parked somewhere that I wont be able to use to explore...but rush to get it if I encounter a large alien ship.

 

A friend of mine who's just getting into modding had a slight thought of modding cryochambers though. Just a thought, no work has been started yet and we're not yet sure if its actually possible.

 

Its also worth mentioning that someone also thought of a similar idea of not needing to pay the crew when the ship is not in use or is in an unloaded sector.

Simple enough concept. If the sectors are not loaded, the ships are not doing anything, including mining. If they're not going to pay for themselves while I'm away, why should I pay them?

[Suspend pay timers for ships in sectors with no players in them]

If you want realism, then just have cryochambers and keep majority of the crew in stasis while a few are kept awake to maintain the ship.

 

I was just about to post the suggestion for cryochambers when I saw this post. I'm going to make my post and mention this as well.

[REQ: Mod to respawn resources (In starting sectors)]

So if you only have one starting sector then it's just a one-time set and forget for the server.

 

Does this mean even after you close the server, you dont need to run the script again?

[[Mods] Gambling, Dock Building, Pirate Warlord, Spawn Changer & more]

Does the Pirate Warlord scale or does it have fixed stats? I'm planning on having it on a private server with friends but I dont want them to abuse the exceptional drop (ex fighting the Pirate Warlord in an easy area). It would be nice if its fixed and is tweak-able

[[REQ] Regenerate or reset asteroids?]

I've hosted a private server for a few friends and we've encountered the problem of not  having iron at the starting point. I've checked the existing mod list and I've haven't found a mod that resets the roids. I've heard a certain server has that kind of mod. I assume it was made in-house since I cant seem to find it.

[Dedicated Server: Cant join via IP but can join via steam]

Hey there. I've hit a road block. I've already setup a dedicated server but I cant seem to make people join via IP. I let the host join locally (127.0.0.1) then we joined him through steam (right clicking steam friend and selecting join game). This method works but if he isnt in the game, none of us would be able to get in the server. We've already portforwarded and I am unsure what else to do.

[No docks]

I was supposed to post the same problem.

 

I was going to sell  anti gravity units that cost me 100 around mil worth of credits only to find that the station i was going to dump to didnt have a docking bay for me to sell them. I do hope there's a way to remedy this.

[Auto upgrade block types]

I actually had that idea when I was too lazy to redesign a new ship xD I liked my current design but I couldnt get inside to upgrade the internal parts using the block replace method

[Auto upgrade block types]

I know there's an existing method to replace blocks with another block. The problem is you need to select the block group and to select which block to replace it with. Would it be possible to just have a tab to list all the blocks of the same type and replace the material? Lets say I want to change all reactor blocks to Naonite, or all Hull blocks to titanium.

[Engine Mechanics?]

if its based on surface area as well, then I screwed up my last ship. Based on testing sometimes volume matters too though...unsure

[Engine Mechanics?]

I cant seem to understand  how engines work. I add more engines and then the max speed goes down

[Make Iron (or lesser metals) still useful late game]

Hey there, I'd like to suggest a change to progression. Is it possible to make newer modules still cost iron or some of the lower tier metals? My concern is this, after a while iron becomes a junk metal and it doesnt seem to be worth keeping it. My best example is terraria vs modded minecraft (in terms of resources). In terraria, I'd tier up to the latest gear, and all inferior metals are already junk. In modded minecraft, the recipies and easily accessible materials such as coal, wood, and iron, are still mostly used to reach higher tier blocks.

 

In this way, we would still find early metals still useful. Maybe in terms of immersion, higher tier equipment would need rare metals that alloy with iron or metals that came before them.
