Idea by @bitter thicket #mod-dev message
The data remaining is kept so resource consumption does not change.

holy shit!

#

how difficult was it?

#

I don't really like messing with the state machines but with some tips and tricks from Imalas, a lot of things are easier than they otherwise would be.

#

Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

#

I did notice one thing from the screenshots, the data being able to go above 100% through the early research errand. Do you think you can cap data gained from the errand to 100% so it can't go over?

I actually added that in so resources wouldn't be wasted but if you'd rather it be that way then sure.

bitter thicket
#

yes, I see the extra resources as the price to pay for 100% geotuner uptime

#

The errand isn't triggered until the target stops erupting to maintain uptime.

bitter thicket
#

thanks, I'll install it in a bit and get back to you if I notice any issues

is it extra resources or is it reserving "just the right amount" of resources?

native grove
#

They consume the entire storage and set the timer to 600s.
So it would waste a percentage equal to data remaining.

#

I didn't overhaul anything. Just tried to fit into what was already going on. There's probably a better way than what I ended up with.

why is klei like this crydupefront

#

I think the QoL update broke the mod. I finally got around to building a geotuner on my save, but once a dupe did the setting errand to assign it to its geyser, the game crashed

#

I'll try and get a crash log

#

the geotuners placement predates the QoL update, if that's relevant (I built it in advance and didn't get the geyser ready until now)

native grove
#

Oh yea, I forgot how cursed the GeoTuner is. Even an empty patch that does nothing causes the null sound effect crash. I had a patch in another mod of mine to bypass that. Here is an updated version of this.

#

okay it didn't crash this time, but I'll have to wait until the geyser exits dormancy to check functionality
