Paying for mod compat

[sacred shoal]

sorry if this isnt the right place to ask this, but if i were to pay on the ko-fi for a mod to work with vs (complete immersive portals compat in this case) would it be a one-time payment at the start or would i have to pay every month type thing?

ill remove this post if this isnt the right place to ask

I would assume it is a one time payment since it is quite darn expensive and if it was recurring it would be insane

ok, i was just curious how it was decided how much work a compat is given that it says 300+

[quartz depot]

i remembered it being around 200

It’s 300+

Rubys detailed pricing estimation

Full IP compat (ships going through portals) is going to take a LOT of hours

So probably uh… quite expensive to commission

It’s been discussed a few times internally, it would require massive changes to the physics engine (krunch), the intermediary layer (vs core), as well as public VS

making ships go through immersive portals properly is no small feat

They are not able to be split across dimensions with our current code

[sacred shoal]

so we are probably talking a cost in the thousands then right?

[mystic remnant]

Possibly

Like, I also want IP compat (along with some other devs)

But it requires a lottt of work

[sacred shoal]

i thought so, guess ill shelve the idea for a bit then

This isn’t even taking into account portal paradoxes we would have to avoid

Then there’s the ever present issue of the U ship

immersive portals compat would be 14 million dollars
