Re: Console commands for instant traveling from planet to another

Code: Select all

/cheat <planet or platform name>

works to teleport you to any planet or platform, IIRC. Doesn't have to exist already.

Re: need help creating mod to add visualization aids

Far as I'm aware you can't, because cursor position isn't part of the game state, just their cursor_stack. You'd have to draw the overlay over the entire possible area for as long as the player has the tower in hand.

Re: The ability to enable "space age" without adding its content


Still, is there any way to enable SA functions without adding its contents? So that there would be no planets, platforms, or anything else?


That is what the feature flag they mentioned does. It doesn't actually enable any of the space age mods, just allows the prototypes/features from the DLC ...

Re: [2.0.73] rocket_launch_products are ignored when manually launching item to Orbit with Space Age

I've had people report the same with my mod , several times , but haven't been able to do any testing with it since I don't own SA. My items are named "miner-module" or "miner-module-<resource name>" so it's not just with the name "satellite" apparently.

At least one person said it didn't work even ...

Re: recipe enabled=false but still going on start??

Are you testing this in a new game or loading a saved game? Saved game would keep the previous setting unless technology effects are reset are for the force, so if you had it enabled during testing then changed it to not enabled, it would still show available in the save.

Re: [2.0.72] Dragging belt over ghosts with splitter in the middle fails

Note that when dragging over the splitter the game pops up the 'Too far to connect' message before starting to place belts again.

This doesn't occur when turning off Smart belt building in the options, it all places normally.

Re: [2.0.72] Speaker icon not shown in map view with icon blinking disabled


This is not limited to the speaker, all alert icons in map view fade out permanently with the setting disabled until you hover the alert on top of the shortcut bar. Might even be intended.


That actually shows a smaller version of the icon, and is separate from the show on map setting on the ...

Re: [2.0.72] how should the programmable speaker icon in map view work?

I can confirm the map view isn't showing the icon for a speaker sometimes if the option to disable blinking isn't on.

Normally, the icon set on the speaker would blink in remote view as long as the condition is true, and you have the option to show it on map set.

Re: Intermediate products are not working

I would've thought the second one would work too, but unfortunately its not what I thought the issue was. I don't see anything in the code that should change how it works just because there's another recipe added.

Maybe someone else will have an idea.

Re: Do construction request really need to blink every 2 seconds ?

You can disable blinking of icons entirely with an option, I think under accessibility IIRC. Nothing that lets you change the timing - mod api support for it was requested forever ago.

Re: Intermediate products are not working

Your images show that you can in fact make iron gears or chests from the compressed iron, even when compressed gears exist, so the recipe can be used as an intermediate regardless.

What happens if you have only 1 compressed iron and 1 compressed gears in your inventory? Can belts be made then?

Re: Version 2.0.68



Can someone please elaborate on where to find this 'hidden setting to revert to OpenGL'? I'm hoping / assuming it's a command-line flag or config file that I can edit manually, as like I said -- I can't even launch the game post 2.0.68.
