#Luna's Moons

slow shoal
#

Whats the reason?

orchid escarp
#

Because someone might just want one moon out of the whole pack

slow shoal
#

I do both though

#

Since its batby saying its not the best way to do it, its probably for some optimization reason

orchid escarp
#

We'll see eventually

tired crown
#

@tawdry citrus So uhhh

#

Boreal is bugged lmao

#

I was floating on air

#

@primal minnow Seems it happens only with Blizzard, have fun figuring this out

#

XD

#

I'm guessing something is registering as water there so it becomes solid

#

idk

tawdry citrus
#

Cux it only happens on weathers with snow

#

It happens on all of my moons for some reason

tired crown
#

they do share assets after all

tawdry citrus
#

Potentially

tired crown
#

Btw do Giants still get stuck trying to get to the ship on Boreal? Idk if they do or not lol

tawdry citrus
#

Don't know

tired crown
#

Yeah I wasn't sure if they do, I remembered it happening in the past

#

XD

tawdry citrus
#

Wasn't aware that was a bug

tired crown
#

Ye might be worth looking into, I remember it happening a while ago so it may have been fixed already

#

DID makes things hard to remember

#

lol

tawdry citrus
#

Mood

#

I didn't change much cuz it didn't need much

#

I don't get why it was taken out of the pack either

dapper plover
#

yes, why else would I mention it

tawdry citrus
#

No need to be rude

tired crown
pastel lynx
#

on Boreal

pastel lynx
pastel lynx
pastel lynx
#

ok, no spawn issues atm

primal minnow
# tired crown Boreal is bugged lmao

my bad, this bug was since the release of beta but didn't show itself because no other moon had that many water surfaces and i was separating meshes not fully correct :p

tired crown
#

@tawdry citrus So uhhh Tenebrous still seems to be a bit bugged

#

Bruce is under the ground here next to the ship

primal minnow
#

ye i fixed it but will publish a bit later

tired crown
#

This old bird got stuck

#

Enemies also can't get onto the ship for me still

#

using Wider Ship + 2 story ship if it helps

tawdry citrus
#

Guh

tawdry citrus
#

there was still nav stuff under the ship prob causing issues

tawdry citrus
tired crown
tawdry citrus
#

maybe

#

i still dont know the actual source of the problem

#

but thats my best guess

tired crown
#

@deep sierra I guess if you want maybe you can check Tenebrous and see what's going on? To confirm if Lunar is correct or if maybe there's a read/write issue going on

deep sierra
deep sierra
tired crown
deep sierra
#

Yeah but idk whats wrong with concrete bridge

tired crown
#

That might be something Lunar needs to fix

#

Pretty sure she's gonna go over the moons again and fix issues they have and then convert them to terramesh

#

Am I right on that? @tawdry citrus :3

tawdry citrus
#

mhm

#

im doing both rn

tired crown
#

@snow kindle Btw maybe you can help with the dropship music fix when you get a chance

tawdry citrus
#

i'm hoping the precipice lag will be fixed too

#

i changed settings on the lights to make them less laggy

tired crown
#

Ye if it was the lights it should be fixed

tawdry citrus
#

terramesh

#

omg

#

it made my moons finally look like they're finished

#

incalescense looks so much better especially

tired crown
#

Ye

#

Terramesh is amazing

tawdry citrus
#

some stuff should be fixed

#

and i got things meshed

#

soooo

#

gonna publish an update

#

and then play the game with my gf to relax and half test stuff

tired crown
#

Noice ^^

#

Any size reductions to the moons?

#

:3

tawdry citrus
#

uh

#

nop

#

there was a slight increase by like 10 mb

tired crown
#

That's normal since you terrameshed them lol, I just wondered if you found anything that could use optimization peepoGiggles

tawdry citrus
#

planning on doing that another time

tired crown
#

Fair

#

^^

#

Dunno if I'll play tomorrow since I have plans to play Zort so if I don't I'll check out the update on Thursday

tawdry citrus
#

alr :3

tired crown
tired crown
tawdry citrus
#

i will

#

decided to play the game a bit with gf first

#

incase there were issues caused by the update

tired crown
#

Very fair lol

tawdry citrus
#

doesnt seem to lag on precipice

tawdry citrus
#

its updated

tired crown
#

๐Ÿ™‚

tawdry citrus
#

What's that mean

near seal
#

you got some meshes somewhere not set to read/write true

tired crown
tawdry citrus
#

Ah, nice

#

I'll do that tomorrow probably

#

Sleeping soon

tired crown
#

Yeah you just need tomake sure your navmesh is set to be read/write

#

on your moons

#

Fumo can probably tell you the quick way to do it he helped @frozen acorn out with it on Vulcan-9

ashen vessel
tired crown
#

Actually I imagine a lot of that is the particles plus enemy pathing, cus the particles need fixed

#

and enemy pathing as we know is pretty expensive

#

which is why Zaggy is working on optimizing it

ashen vessel
#

itll be a good resource for peep who just wanna more extensive peak at moons they may want for their pack

tired crown
ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
snow kindle
tawdry citrus
#

figured it out

#

i think i have a fix for it

tired crown
#

Yay

tawdry citrus
#

i wonder if that was the cause for other issues

#

the problem causing mesh was the one that is used for 90% of the ground

tawdry citrus
#

nooo

#

talking about tenebrous

#

the one moon that has no terrain

primal minnow
#

oh ok plink

tawdry citrus
#

Hoping that something is fixed on tenebrous

#

publishing an update

#

i made a small change to the layout on tenebrous too

azure mirage
#

all the homies love ocean moons with giant industrial complexes on them

tawdry citrus
#

i really wanna make a new moon, i wish tenebrous didnt have so many problems

#

that i dont know how to fix

azure mirage
#

would you like ideas?

primal minnow
tawdry citrus
#

thank youuu

#

uploading a fix for the textures

tired crown
#

the navmesh was just dying cus that was disbaled

tawdry citrus
#

i hope

green mica
#

Hey (sry for the timing) Idk if this is a lunar lights, Imperium or LethalElements problem, but it seems blizzard just breaks the game on Incalescence and Boreal

#

Nvm it just takes a really long time

tawdry citrus
#

for me i've had issues with the blizard

#

crashed my game until i turned off the particle collisions

green mica
#

Im as tall as the ship door rn, something definitely aint right

tawdry citrus
#

its probably an issue with my moons cuz it doesnt do it on others, but i dont know how to fix it

primal minnow
tawdry citrus
#

@primal minnow while you're here

tawdry citrus
#

i would like to know if the blizard crashing the game on some of my moons is a me issue or not

primal minnow
#

Was it after you terra meshed or before?

tawdry citrus
#

i dont remember

primal minnow
#

And did it actually crash or it looked like it froze

tawdry citrus
#

"Snow masks texture is null, cannot calculate snow thickness" like iggoreum said, and it doesnt actually crash

#

it just freezes completely

primal minnow
green mica
tawdry citrus
#

im gonna see if i can replicate the issue rq

green mica
#

I think I see the culprit

primal minnow
primal minnow
#

I have a fix but can't push until the weekend D:

green mica
#

Is the player size change related?

primal minnow
#

No

green mica
#

Rn im as tall as the ship door

primal minnow
#

No I don't mess with anything like that

#

But if you're standing on something invisible (not that your size changed) then ye it's that bug

green mica
primal minnow
# tawdry citrus

Also this will not improve loading times, it only applies afterwards

tawdry citrus
#

never found if the issue is still a thing

#

cuz i couldnt get blizzard to show up on the moons it was causing problems on

tawdry citrus
#

I should get around to making an interior whenever I finish bug fixing and making another moon

azure mirage
#

since PowerFull is making a facility interior redesign, what about a mansion interior redesign?

tawdry citrus
#

No

pastel lynx
heady falcon
#

is this supposed to be a thing? im just testing this mod since i was a fan of verdance standalone and i love the rework of it that you did. this is on boreal at main

#

also is it supposed to be this bright outside on boreal? its kinda hard to see and i just want to make sure another mod isnt causing this

#

either way, very nice texturing on the outside of the moon, a lot of moons i've tested are super barebones and it just ends up looking somewhat unnatural

#

im definitely considering adding this to my modpack

tawdry citrus
tawdry citrus
#

something doesnt look right

heady falcon
tawdry citrus
#

ohhh

#

i never considered that'd happen

#

so

#

i didnt make that impossible

#

i can probably make an update that fixes that

heady falcon
#

i'd imagine the same can happen for old birds, dogs, and earth leviathans but i haven't played it enough to test that.
masks seem to be able to path through correctly though so thats good

tawdry citrus
#

all i'd have to do is have a volume that tags the doorway as a small door i believe

#

i was planning on doing a small update some time tonight

#

i can squeeze that fix in

heady falcon
#

im gonna keep playtesting and see what i can find but i gotta say the way the moons look is really nice and vanilla-esque

tawdry citrus
#

thank you :3

#

the intention was to make moons that are just a bit better than vanilla

#

while generally keeping vanilla feel

pastel lynx
#

I love these moons :]

tawdry citrus
#

me too

#

that why i'm still workin on them

pastel lynx
#

and that's why I keep using it, always reporting something if I find an issue

tawdry citrus
heady falcon
#

it might be an inadvertent effect of one of chameleon's cfg options.

#

but not sure, i wouldn't think it would do that to another moon

#

im gonna load up a pack with just your mod to see the differences from what i've already tested so far

tawdry citrus
#

i can adjust visuals a bit

#

if it has issues

heady falcon
#

not sure what causes this

#

these are the only mods i have installed rn

green mica
#

Could be Imperium forcing the changes

heady falcon
#

also this is a screenshot with the modlist i just posted so it definitely seems like the lighting is just a tad too high. i've noticed these moons use a different star, does that affect things somehow?

green mica
# heady falcon wym?

Things like the Immediate Takeoff, changing the weather, teleporting, can mess up how the game changes scenes and sprites

green mica
#

Try switching the weather to Clear

heady falcon
green mica
#

Besides the weather, im out of ideas

tawdry citrus
#

so it doesnt look quite right

#

im changing lighting rn

heady falcon
#

globally or for boreal only?
verdance looks great texture-wise but its a tad dark imo

#

and i made sure my gamma was balanced/normal

#

giant was pathing through here on boreal, just a heads up. not sure if intentional or not

tawdry citrus
heady falcon
#

also i bought a cruiser to see if the custom trees were destructible and it clipped through the ground

tawdry citrus
#

how did that happen?

#

can you try to replicate that?

heady falcon
#

it doesnt seem to be an issue with your mod lol
i just landed at company building to try it again and it legit didnt spawn in correctly

#

wtf lmao

#

no console errors either, absurd

tawdry citrus
#

ah

heady falcon
#

when i tp to cruiser at company building im falling into the void infinitely lol

tawdry citrus
#

damn

heady falcon
#

so if i buy a cruiser on boreal without imerium enabled it should place it correctly?

#

bc it looks like its just placing it too low and then its clipping through the outdoor map bounds

tawdry citrus
#

gonna publish update soon

#

adding content tags, updating boreal's lighting, and fixing navmesh issues on boreal

pastel lynx
#

yay

heady falcon
#

awesome stuff

#

just checked out tenebrous btw, super cool moon

tawdry citrus
#

it is cool, it has been such a problem for me tho cuz of how many bugs it has had

heady falcon
#

yeah it definitely poses some pathfinding issues
dogs kinda get stunlocked in certain areas but thats more of a zeekers issue. the dogs get stunlocked on plenty of vanilla situations too

tawdry citrus
#

can you explain this issue specifically?

#

cuz it might be something i could do something about

heady falcon
#

mainly if you've full-aggroed them around ladders, they kinda just sit there and then it becomes unusable unless you pull them away somehow

tawdry citrus
#

wdym?

#

you mean like

#

when they dive at you

#

they get stuck agaisnt a wall type thing?

heady falcon
#

he roared at me here and i jumped down

tawdry citrus
# heady falcon

i'll check navmesh right there and see if theres any obv issues

near seal
#

i was re-reading some older LLL code and i almost broke one of your moons btw

tawdry citrus
#

wdym?

near seal
#

tenebrous was the name of my unreleased moon and i directly was giving it like 9999 rarity in every interior via code ๐Ÿ˜ญ

tawdry citrus
#

omg

near seal
#

punished for stealing ๐Ÿ’”

tawdry citrus
#

nuh uh

near seal
#

tenebrous my beloved

heady falcon
#

probably a zeekers issue lol

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

let me know if theres any bugs with the new update

tawdry citrus
#

you were correct

#

our moons breaking back then was a positive thing

#

lunar lights wouldnt exist without that loss

#

the moons we've made to replace what was lost

#

are thousands of times better than the originals

#

for every single one

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

lol

tawdry citrus
#

giants can no longer get in the cave on boreal

#

you can now use it to escape giants

#

same thing for the main entrance building

#

working on an update to add navmesh links

#

so enemies move around moons more freely

#

and dont get stuck when trying to chase you

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

yes

#

anything after 1.3.1

tawdry citrus
#

cuz im doing a small polishing pass on everything to just make sure everything is as good as it can be

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

masked enemies will actually be a threat outside

#

no more confused ai when you stand on anything other than the floor

tired crown
#

Noice

tawdry citrus
#

testing navmesh changes

tawdry citrus
#

publishing update now

#

if the update works as intended

#

you shouldnt notice a difference

#

and if theres no big bugs

#

i can take a moment to relax

#

before working on the next moon

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

nope

#

dont even know what that is

ashen vessel
green mica
#

Means the moons dont stay loaded in the background, which saves a lot of ram (very basically)

tawdry citrus
#

We hit 40k!

green mica
#

Absolutely deserved, congrats!

tawdry citrus
#

I couldnt thank you all enough for this

#

never thought i'd be this big in literally any community

#

i've always seen myself as a nobody, and never expect anything i make to even be seen by anyone

#

so i never imagined i'd be in the position to be thanking this community for everything

#

i keep checking thunderstore to see if thats actually the number im seeing, because i cant believe that many people would see something i've made

#

Thank you all for getting me here, and sticking with me from the moment i poked my head into this community

#

the support you've all given me is the only reason im still here making new things for you all

#

this really means a lot to me

#

seriously

#

to everyone in this community, Thank you.

tawdry citrus
#

i'm gonna be changing the way i release content

#

i'm moving to less often larger content drops

#

but

#

im making a patreon

#

i'll post the smaller more frequent updates there

#

as parts of the larger update

#

and i'll be sharing more info about updates and plans on the patreon

tired crown
#

I think uploading stuff specifically to Patreon is a bad idea, maybe make a Patreon or Ko-Fi though for people to support you

tawdry citrus
#

it isnt exclusive content for anything other than spoilers

tired crown
#

Got it

tawdry citrus
#

its just early access to the smaller bits of an update before the full thing is ready

#

the main reason im making a patreon is cuz now that im not living with my parents, i've gotta get some income

#

so having a little extra coming in for this, means i can keep working on the mod

#

my link

tawdry citrus
snow kindle
#

You can link your donolink on thunderstore, I just did it with my ko-fi like 2 weeks ago

Is it you?

pastel lynx
#

sadly I won't be able to give.
But I'll be waiting hapy for the updates :]

Nobody has to

I don't want anyone to feel required to

I really appreciate it

ashen vessel
#

escpially given I dont really play that game anymore

tawdry citrus
#

Ohh okay

#

Wellll

#

You already know how I am with updates

ashen vessel
#

also its way cheaper than the 20$ sub I had before

tawdry citrus
#

I didn't want my donations to go higher than 5$

#

I don't believe the value I provide is more than 5$

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

Oh?

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

I've never had enough money to forget where it's going

#

Lol

#

I always knew the bs I was wasting money on instead of saving it

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

Ohhh oki

ashen vessel
#

Above average grades + single parent household = good sob story to make the gov give me money XD

#

@tawdry citrus Wtf are the spawn curves on Boreal my god?

#

So many Giants and Dogs

#

lol

#

For a free moon it feels nuts

tawdry citrus
#

What happened?

tired crown
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Just so many outside enemies spawn

#

XD

tawdry citrus
#

It's meant to be a hard free moon

#

The challenge isn't the price you pay to get there, it's dealing with the actual enemies

#

You could probably adjust the LLL config to fit your modpack better

#

Cuz it is already a very difficult moon

#

So mods that add more difficulty could make it too much

#

And need tuning depending on the pack

tired crown
#

Also you really need to fix those quicksand placements

#

lol

#

js

tawdry citrus
tired crown
# tawdry citrus elaborate

I got the Hazard Hallucination which spawns quicksand and there were like 3 piles next to each other all outside of main

#

I couldn't get around it

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

tawdry citrus
#

omg

tired crown
tawdry citrus
#

is the red dots where the mud spawned?

tired crown
#

Probably yeah

primal minnow
tawdry citrus
#

can at least remove ai nodes from directly infront of the door

#

to prevent that

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

wdym?

ashen vessel
#

and the fog made it a lot more techerous

tawdry citrus
#

ohhh

#

you mean precipice?

ashen vessel
#

a lot of them are too open imo

#

even for ones I like like Powerfull moons and arcadia

tawdry citrus
#

Posted a peek at the next moon on the patreon

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

im gonna post a spoiler here

#

top down view of the next moon

#

theres a lot left to do

#

but i've made a ton of progress today

#

im kinda reviving a scrapped moon

#

but more so repurposing a template that was already made

#

for a new idea

pastel lynx
#

Looks good!

jagged ice
#

I actually have to check out this mod sometime

#

The art that's been shown so far is just peak af

tawdry citrus
#

:3

#

You should try it out

#

You won't regret it

jagged ice
#

Ok !

tawdry citrus
#

I'm open to any feedback you have about stuff once you've checked it all out

primal minnow
#

If you don't have them already, please add LOD groups to your rocks, trees and grass. Moons look gorgeous, but since they have much more decor than on average, not having them might hurt the game's performance, especially when a player is in the interior. If you already have them set up disregard plink
I know you need special models to make it properly, but at least culling with distance would be cool as well.

azure mirage
#

i have to say for certain that your moons are definitely above the rest in terms of quality and replayability. the design and variation between them is great, and expands on the vanilla-esque style while still remaining unique but perfectly fitting the gameโ€™s inherent vibe.

i suppose if i were to offer any legible opinion then id say i like modded moons that look and feel vanilla but have their own personality or twist to them

#

currently i use calamitous, tenebrous and verdance as they are doing their own thing but still have the vanilla feel and formula in them

tawdry citrus
#

Will add LODs in the next update

#

Where they aren't already added

tired crown
#

Lol

#

CullFactory likely fixes the lag when inside but anything going on outside I imagine not

tawdry citrus
#

Since I'm working on a major update rn, I would like some feedback on what you all would like to see added

heady falcon
# tawdry citrus I'm open to any feedback you have about stuff once you've checked it all out

another thing that would be really nice is config options. i like all of the moons but some of them don't really have much of a place in my modpack for various reasons so it'd be nice to disable them or toggle certain things about them. for example, as cool as precipice and calamitous are, i just think theyre a tad too big and so i would really just like to have verdance, boreal, incalescence, and tenebrous.

tawdry citrus
#

I don't really know how to do that, but there are a couple options for that

#

My moon bundles are all separated in the files

#

So you can delete what you don't want

#

But also

#

In LLL configs

heady falcon
#

ah

tawdry citrus
#

You can hide moons from the terminal

tawdry citrus
#

Only one of them isn't labeled with the actual moon name

#

That's Tenebrous

#

It's called Water instead of Tenebrous

#

Cuz that's what I called it before it had a name

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

Precipice is a large moon, but it only has one path

ashen vessel
#

at least with the cruiser

tawdry citrus
#

Technically two because you can scale down the cliffs over the ship

heady falcon
tawdry citrus
#

It's kinda my version of titan

#

Since it plays fairly similarly

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

Ye

#

You're meant to drop loot down and have a loot chain that goes back to the ship

#

:3

ashen vessel
#

lol

tawdry citrus
#

Oh btw

#

Do you have any suggestions for additions or changes with the next update?

ashen vessel
# tawdry citrus Oh btw

hmmm, one main gripe I had with some of the moons, something with the shader/lighting seems to make some of the rock textures look washed out

#

idk how to describe it

heady falcon
#

noticed a earth leviathan problem on verdance. it was having some kind of blockage that made it have issues attacking. it spawned across the river from the ship, idk if it just got stuck or what

ashen vessel
#

never was a huge issue but its prob something to do with the post processing/shaders the game uses

tawdry citrus
#

well

#

gonna keep working on the new moon

#

will work on the other stuff once thats done

tawdry citrus
#

damn

#

incalscense is gonna be hell to add lod's to

#

cuz nothing is a prefab

#

verdance too

tawdry citrus
#

alr

#

generally the Lod's are setup

tawdry citrus
#

New post on patreon

#

also

#

because patreon allows it

#

i might sell the posts with the actual smaller updates in them

#

either that or include them in the 1$ tier

#

this update most likely wont include smaller update posts inbetween the release

#

because theres not enough in it being added outside of the main thing to warrant posting smaller updates

#

cuz as of now

#

the only thing that could be in the small update is the addition of LOD's

tawdry citrus
#

put up another progress update on patreon

tawdry citrus
#

its funny

#

i'd be like 30 mins from fully being done with the moon if it was a normal moon without gimmicks

tawdry citrus
#

I feel like this moon has to be one of my best

#

cuz its the first major update after returning from a long break

tawdry citrus
#

i wont spoil anything more about the moon

#

cuz i want it to be a surprise to anyone who isnt in the patreon

pastel lynx
#

gotcha :]

tawdry citrus
#

believe me though

#

you will be surprised

ashen vessel
#

Ive spoiled it

#

boom

tawdry citrus
#

lol

tawdry citrus
#

progress update for everyone

#

i'm nearing completion of the new update

#

i would like you all to share what you're hoping to see in the update

#

so i can add it before its released

#

and dont have to push what you're hoping for into the next update

tawdry citrus
#

Massive size reduction with the upcoming update

#

i know @tired crown will be happy about that

#

S1ckboy helped with optimization

#

Current release file size is around 330mb

#

the new total size including the new moon is 112 mb

near seal
#

It feels good doesn't it ๐Ÿ˜„

Is it prepped for hotreloading too?

tawdry citrus
#

it should be

snow kindle
#

I didnt look at all of them but when I paid attention I saw they bundles not depending on each other, not sure if all are good but if you have a consistent setup they should all be fine

tawdry citrus
#

yeah they're all good then

#

if thats the only requirement

#

they're all setup exactly the same

snow kindle
near seal
#

which

snow kindle
#

StreamingLethalBundles - the one you mentioned in the hotreload thread that its not done yet but we can already put the bundle names in it

near seal
#

not done yet

#

could possibly change so don't get to caught up in that yet

#

that one is abit of a pain ๐Ÿ˜„

tawdry citrus
#

oh btw @snow kindle will the optimizations done today improve load times as well?

near seal
#

yes

snow kindle
near seal
#

not true i don't think

near seal
#

the idea is that if i can load all the non-streaming bundles first, then those bundles make a promise to me that x scene is in y file, I don't actually have to load up that bundle until it's needed on route change

#

which would let me skip loading it entirely at startup

snow kindle
#

well I guess since you have them as strings for the lethalbundles instead of looking for the extendedmods but I still think it would be good for me to merge the one moon's project to the rest so I could bundle the non-scenes in one bunch (or is that not ideal?)

near seal
#

oh no your fine to merge your stuff im just saying it's not neccasary for my stuff

snow kindle
#

Im not sure if I will depends on how lazy I am

tawdry citrus
#

Gonna start working on stuff soon

#

I might have the update out tonight

tawdry citrus
#

Gonna go get breakfast

#

When I'm done ill start doing all the finishing touches

normal nymph
#

tyt

tawdry citrus
#

:3

#

Gonna setup all the enemy spawning

#

And then do some testing to see if I can catch any bugs before release

normal nymph
#

i hope you find a beetle

tawdry citrus
#

A centipede would be cool too

tired crown
tawdry citrus
#

Awesome

tawdry citrus
#

almost ready

tawdry citrus
#

doing some testing

#

if i dont run into any big bugs

#

im gonna be publishing the update

tawdry citrus
#

uploaded a small bugfixing update

#

missed a couple things

normal nymph
tawdry citrus
#

@tired crown @normal nymph you two interested in testing the moonpack?

normal nymph
#

i wouldnt mind it. if we get that 3rd hand raised, mine wont go down

tawdry citrus
#

wdym?

tired crown
#

I mean he was essentially saying it would be us 3

#

lol

normal nymph
#

^

tired crown
#

While we're at it we could test the Slaughterhouse update too

tawdry citrus
#

true

#

you wanna setup a pack for it?

tired crown
#

Yeah I'm doing an update to my pack rq

tawdry citrus
#

alr :3

#

oh also

#

we should test most moons

#

cuz all of them have had optimizations done

#

also need gear and money for rampart

#

oh also

#

are you using the sector 0 interior?

#

cuz that one seems to be good for rampart

tired crown
#

Not right now, it has some bugs that need fixed

#

Warehouse is usually my go to alternative but I'll wait for us to play on it lol

#

Luckily I have LGU so I can force credits to get the gear and stuff we need

#

Pinged you btw so you can come join us in vc

tawdry citrus
#

planning to start working on my interior tomorrow

azure mirage
#

whats the interior?

tawdry citrus
#

ill post spoilers on my patreon tho

azure mirage
#

most interesting

#

will it be available standalone?

tawdry citrus
#

yeah

#

i'll upload it as a seperate mod

tawdry citrus
#

@nova orchid i saw you used my catwalks on one of your moons

#

im remaking them, because the catwalks had a decent few issues

#

wanted to let you know so you could replace them when i have the new assets finished

nova orchid
#

๐Ÿ‘

tawdry citrus
#

this is what the new ones look like

(left side is 3 connected in a line, and the right is just one on its own)

nova orchid
#

any comparison to the old ones?

tawdry citrus
#

will send in a min

#

heres some of the new ones together

#

(all the pieces i have done are visible here

tawdry citrus
#

lined up for a direct comparison

#

(Old on the left, New on the Right

tired crown
tawdry citrus
#

they're also more accurate to vanilla

tired crown
#

Mhm

tawdry citrus
#

and the model quality is higher

#

and has massively reduced poly counts

#

also

#

when im done

#

and prefab everything

#

i'm gonna use simpler colliders and add LODs to the prefabs

#

so they have built in distance culling

#

we're much more experienced with all this stuff now, so i'm making a much better set of prefabs

#

that requires much less effort to use

#

we're also making these to use in our new interior

#

its important to have better setup catwalks than we made before

tawdry citrus
#

Updated catwalk prefabs

#

anyone whos used the previous ones should really replace them with these

#

@snow kindle

#

i know you've used the old ones before

snow kindle
#

neat!

tawdry citrus
#

pretty much every problem with the old ones is fixed

#

i dont really know if theres a single issue i didnt fix

#

lol

snow kindle
#

I'll check it out later ^^

tawdry citrus
#

sounds good

#

i'll be sleeping soon

#

spent my whole day working on those

#

gonna start tomorrow off working on updating my own moons with the new catwalks

green mica
#

Hey, I finally got to check the update out, and its really great

#

I already loved the moons, but getting an update was really nice to now be able to play it

#

Only thing is Rampart's ambience, which is kind of opressive for how loud it is, and the main building, which tanks fps a little

#

Really great mod, thanks for it

sage vault
#

I think you should be able to pin the new version of the prefabs, though unsure how to unpin the original

tawdry citrus
#

Pretty sure there's no pinbot anymore

tired crown
tawdry citrus
#

Ohh

#

How do I use it?

#

Didn't know there was a dif pinbot

tired crown
#

do /paws and it shows the commands

#

you want the pin-bot one

silver flaxBOT
tawdry citrus
#

There we go

tawdry citrus
#

Gonna go update the moons with the new catwalks

#

:3

tawdry citrus
#

i've been really enjoying working on stuff recently

#

its nice to just sit down and work on a goal you have set for the day

tawdry citrus
#

rampart has the catwalks replaced now

#

replacing them took a lot less time than adding the old ones originally did

#

mainly cuz they're easier to work with

tawdry citrus
#

gonna publish the new update replacing all the catwalks in just a min

#

publishing now

#

not much changed so there shouldnt be any bugfixing needed

#

especially since the new catwalks are bug free out of the box

#

lol

normal nymph
#

i like this wall. it's a nice wall.

orchid escarp
normal nymph
#

ewwwww, politics (even in joke form)

orchid escarp
#

I knew this would happen....

#

I wish people could just appreciate the joke

tawdry citrus
orchid escarp
#

I mean we're talking about walls

tawdry citrus
#

and?

orchid escarp
#

Life would be boring if I just kept quiet

tawdry citrus
#

maybe life should be a little more boring for you

orchid escarp
#

Nah, this is why I play games and chat with people online.

tawdry citrus
#

i wonder what you did to get this

orchid escarp
tawdry citrus
#

cuz you have it on your profile

#

lol

orchid escarp
#

Also the real reason was pretty bogus and they never gave me an explanation. I was just shadowbanned out of the blue.

tawdry citrus
#

dont link it to your profile if you dont want people looking at it

orchid escarp
#

According to the system, I have some alt account that got in trouble, but that's not true.

orchid escarp
#

I know why you looked

tawdry citrus
#

nah

#

its cuz you talk like a redditor

orchid escarp
#

Now that's some nasty stereotyping

#

I've only been on that site for a year before getting shadowbanned.

#

Most people qualified to be called "redditors" out of context were on that site for several years

#

And it's funny you bring it up because I only went on that site to post memes and make some funnies.

#

The exact same thing I was trying to do here.

#

Just trying to make a joke to lighten the mood, then BepisMan went "Eww, politics"

#

So instead of appreciating the attempt at humor, you two focus on the most negative aspect of the harmless joke.

#

We could have never had this conversation, and instead had a good-natured laugh.

tawdry citrus
#

lol

#

go have fun in someone else's thread

orchid escarp
#

I mean it isn't really that hard to lighten up and have a laugh about something instead of getting picky about the choice of words. I made the joke without any harmful intent.

#

And you're still gonna be sensitive about it

very interesting, kind of feels like a blend of the basic facility and the storehouse

tawdry citrus
#

Guess so

tawdry citrus
#

About half done

#

It's meant to be a similar main room layout to the manor interior

halcyon urchin
#

Revisiting this mod after a year and damn these are fantastic

#

def gonna be a perm addition to my pack

tawdry citrus
#

:3

#

thanks a ton

#

really happy you like it

tawdry citrus
#

just getting the basic tiles made then im gonna work on all the extra props and stuff

near seal
#

@tawdry citrus general advice for tile making incase it helps. When your making them try and ensure your tiles have a consistent size, including your โ€œsubtilesโ€. When I say subtitles I mean for example the facility main entrance is 2x2 subtiles or the rebar jump being 2x4 or whatever. The closer you are to being perfect with your consistency the more likely your interior can generate in a way where it loops back on itself and doorways can accidentally connect due to lining up perfectly

azure mirage
#

kinda reminds me of containment breach and thats a good thing

#

looks great so far!

#

can't wait to see the final product

tawdry citrus
near seal
#

eg. this is perfect (afaik) size consistency so when i force it's x and z max size the interior can end up super compact

#

obviously this is fairly extreme but gets the point across

#

where-as if any of your tiles are inconsistent in door placement or general bounds size it will offset all the tiles that generate after it, which means it can never line up like this

halcyon urchin
# tawdry citrus really happy you like it

Very refreshing stuff I like Calamitous and Tenebrous espesially
I have some feedback but im in the middle of a session atm
im guessing you went by Luna at somepoint based on the TS team name? funnily enough thats what I currently go by

tawdry citrus
#

technically yeah

#

its a lil more complicated but that explanation works

#

@near seal i have a question about interior generation

#

how do i make sure that the main entrance room always generates

#

and never generates more than once

#

im not really understanding that part of the setup

near seal
#

let me open unity

tawdry citrus
#

ty

near seal
#

There could be a better way that I'm not familiar with but the way it's setup for me right now is

#

the TileSet just contains the starting room and the starting room tile is set to never repeat

tawdry citrus
#

ohh oki

#

that makes sense

tawdry citrus
#

is there any way to make sure every door genererates a room on it like the mansion does?

#

well

#

mostly

#

i know it doesnt every time

#

some arent always used

#

but they almost always are

#

the way things are setup for me rn just likes generating one single path

#

@near seal

tawdry citrus
#

redid the tile

#

it fits within a grid now

#

and fits the theme a bit better

#

those angled concrete bits were really messing up the style

jagged ice
tawdry citrus
#

heavy industrial style

jagged ice
#

Is it like... a warehouse?

tawdry citrus
#

moreso just a broad industrial theme with no specific purpose to the structure

#

like the vanilla facility

jagged ice
#

Rain Worl

#

Looks peak so far

#

I like

tawdry citrus
#

glad you like it so far

#

i found the machine that the apparatus thing is based off of

#

What is it?

tawdry citrus
#

an industrial CAT diesel generator

whys that the main question people ask?

snow kindle
#

These look amazing

ashen vessel
tawdry citrus
#

ty

tawdry citrus
tawdry citrus
#

its L shaped instead of a rectangle

#

and has 3 doors

#

could potentially strip out the conveyor belt and add shelves to make it a storage room

#

i've been making each tile easy to make into different variants cuz that saves me a lot of time

azure mirage
#

still looks great

if i were to suggest anything: pipes, valves, tubes. lots of them

tawdry citrus
#

am gonna add those as the random props that spawn

azure mirage
#

maybe some angled or colored lights for some mood in some specific rooms

tawdry citrus
#

once i have all the rooms done

#

i'll work on setting up all the extra randomized spawning stuff

#

currently i have 21 tiles

#

im gonna make 5 more small tiles

#

1 big tile (similar size to the one big room from facility)

#

and 1 or 2 tiles for the apparatus

#

the final number of tiles will prob be somewhere around 30

#

dunno how many tiles there's supposed to be

#

but thats the amount im prob gonna have

#

will probably also make some more catwalk tiles

#

cuz i dont have enough of those

#

need more tiles to break up the visuals of the concrete walls everywhere

azure mirage
#

i love that everybody universally calls it "the big room"

tawdry citrus
#

i call it the thumper room

#

cuz when i first started playing the game

#

every time i found that room

#

there was a thumper shortly after

#

or immediately

halcyon urchin
#

iirc thatโ€™s the name

tawdry citrus
#

gimme ideas for the large loot room for my interior

#

i dunno what i wanna make it

#

im getting pretty close to finishing all the tiles

#

thats one of the last ones i have left to make

azure mirage
#

something warehousey with pallets and containers stacked up, like a storage/cargo center

#

i've always really liked the whole industrial aesthetic that modern warehouses have, being tall and utilitarian, storing all manner of stuff. kind of like a home depot or something i guess

#

could have like ladders or something on some of the racks that loot can spawn on, that youd need to climb up to reach

tawdry citrus
#

wouldnt quite fit with everything else i've got

#

with how large that'd have to be

#

i could make a medium version of that for u tho

azure mirage
#

i would be honored to have proved some inspiration for an interior!

#

another idea could be something like this for a med-big room

tawdry citrus
azure mirage
#

that picture is just a random water treatment plant i found on google images, it was moreso the aesthetic of an industrial pipe-y machinery place that i was looking for

#

@tawdry citrus are you getting a hang of the tile generation and overall vibe of that now?

tawdry citrus
#

I had it generating correctly in game last night

#

Before I went to bed

#

You would not believe how happy that made me when it actually worked instead of me having to do hours of fixing problems

near seal
#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

oh i feel that

tawdry citrus
#

I found a couple bugs with the interior

#

But like

#

That was expected

#

I'm happy to have found bugs with the interior cuz that means the interior itself Is actually working

near seal
#

also little tip if you haven't found it yet, in the Tile component there's a reference for entrance and exit doorway

near seal
#

if these aren't provided dungen will kinda try and pick randomly/figure it out but if they are provided it will explcitly use those doorways for entrance and exit

#

yaa cool

tawdry citrus
#

I had to use those to fix a really annoying generation problem

near seal
#

I noticed you have a couple vertical tiles and that can be important as you can use defined entrance doorways and limited tile spawnings to prevent the dungeon from generating to multiple height levels which makes the generation unideal

tawdry citrus
#

I made a stairway tile that was specifically supposed to generate in the middle or start of branches to split it in multiple directions

#

But it was just only putting it backwards on the ends of branches

near seal
#

ye

near seal
#

so like castle has a spiral staircase that is like 3 subtiles in height

#

i don't want 2-3 of those to spawn and they keep going up because then the dungeon is split into sections that are like of 9 subtiles of height difference

#

so to solve this i can make two versions of the spiral staircase, one with the entrance going up and one with the entrance going down, then set them to never repeat

#

this means if 1 spawns it only goes up once and if 2 spawns it's going to go back down to it's original height

tawdry citrus
#

I only have stairs that go up by one tile each

#

And I honestly like the slightly vertical generation that it creates

near seal
#

sounds good then ๐Ÿ˜„

tawdry citrus
#

Also

#

Funny thing that I accidentally did

#

The maze tiles I made

#

Take up most of the grid spaces

#

But they have gaps

I'm working on my Modpack and with LL in there the game won't get past the "online" button on the main menu

tawdry citrus

Other than the old version of the same mod (celestial expansion)

#

OH wait that might be my issue ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Wait no jokes it's LL 1.4.1

#

Not CE

#

Strange
Rampart isn't appearing in my LLL config either

#

Might regen configs, I've been absent a while

near seal
#

it might be because of celestial expansion as of LL 1.4

tawdry citrus
#

They spawn little closet doors

whole mantle
tawdry citrus
#

That can generate a tiny closet tile

#

Just found the issue
Sorry for tha fuss ๐Ÿ˜‚

near seal
#

LLL should ideally handle that problem better, apologies

whole mantle
#

I mean, seems like an unnecessary struggle only useful for bloated/outdated packs really

#

I should open my eyes

tawdry citrus
#

So I accidentally made a hidden room gimmick for the interior

tawdry citrus
#

Anyways

#

Time for breakfast

#

And time for setting up all the extra stuff I haven't yet

#

When all the basics are done

#

I'm gonna do a patreon only release

#

So people can check it out

#

While I fully finish and polish it

tawdry citrus
#

theres only like

#

1 room left to be made before i can call it v1 of the interior

#

i'll be testing for a little bit

#

and going back over everything making sure that everything is how i want it to be

rustic pine
tawdry citrus
#

the interior is nearly complete, it still needs polishing so im not doing a public release

#

but its available early now for the 1$ and 5$ tiers

azure mirage
#

i like it

i like it a lot!

#

if youre going for that kind of storage vibe with it might i float the idea (if not already) of having some random boxes or totes strewn around? adding more little "people worked here" details helps immersion and makes an environment feel more lived in

tawdry citrus
#

the maze tiles will def get some extra decorations like that

azure mirage
#

one thing i do like about the vanilla interiors is that they have some separate spaces that fit the theme of the interior, but are distinct enough to be their own area so the rest of it isnโ€™t repetitive, like the kitchen in the mansion, the โ€œbig roomโ€ in the facility, or the caves in the mines

#

i havenโ€™t seen the interior yet but i felt iโ€™d just share my 2 cents, variation is the backbone of replayability

tawdry citrus
#

ive got a big room

#

am currently working on adding variation in indivdual rooms

#

like

#

random spawning boxes

#

and also!

#

random spawning deviders in some tiles

azure mirage
#

interesting! cant wait to see it in action

tawdry citrus
#

i dont know when i'm gonna be ready to release

#

its basically done

tawdry citrus
#

we got 2 or 3 people in here who want early access for a playtest of the new interior?

me too...

sent you two friend requests so i can get us in a gc

tawdry citrus

we may need an extra person

#

anyone else available?

tawdry citrus
#

playtest went well

#

gonna wait on feedback from one more person involved with the test

#

and then work on getting the final changes in before release

#

i may update rampart to actually use the tiles created for this interior

#

in the indoor section

but im not sure if i will or not

it'll come in a later update if it actually happens
