I ordered from most important to less important.

ManualType

"unlock..." as a string list so a single research can unlock multiple items.

EquipmentType

"levelStartScrap" and "acceleration" (as "accelerationPc") brought to EquipmentType. No reason to why not.
Removed
"playerShotSpeedPc": int: Percent change in the speed of the player shots. Added after the post.

EntityType

"overpiercing": bool, if on, the projectile damage is subtracted from the enemy's hp and if the result is more than 0 the projectile continues its trajectory with the remaining damage.
"ignoresArmor": bool, damage is not subtracted from armor.
"fuse": bool, determines if an explosive weapon explodes after reaching the distance the enemy was aimed at before the shot.
"minSpeed": float, if the alwaysMove bool is set to true, this is the constant speed if you do not input to move foward.

"likes" and "dislikes" for player ships.
"fixedStats": list of EquipmentType keys, upgrades that use keys listed in fixedStats will have them removed, i.e., will not modify them.

I added and changed a few things

#

the problem with "fixedStats" can be solved manually by including dislikes for equipment and weapons that are not worth for the limitation

#

for example, the dragonscale armor

#

win/win situation

#

"when..." as a list of EquipmentType keys, only the keys listed will be affected by the condition. Added after the post. -- I don't understand this, sorry

zinc silo *"when..." as a list of EquipmentType keys, only the keys listed will be affecte...

i should have been more explicit, "when..." (whenAtFullHP for instance) are all integer variables that limit the ALL stats from a equipment to a condition, but by making it as a list of keys(stats) and "...Since" (whenNotFiredSince as example) as a separate variable the possibilities are multiplied

#

Still confused?

#

I think what you're saying is that you'd like to make the whenX conditions only apply to specific stats in the equipment.

#

yes

zinc silo Mar 12, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

Unfortunately that would be a lot of code and a lot of difficulties with text formatting

bitter magnet Mar 12, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

That is what i thought would be possible issues

#

well, its unfortunate

#

same with fixedStats?

zinc silo Mar 12, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

No that's doable but I want to actually do more: min, max, and fixed stat values. But in v1.1.

#

#

i thought of min and max too

"repairQuantity": int, amount of hp gained from each repair. With my mod changing the scale of basically everything, having a way to scale the repair too is essential

Noted. Also, have you looked at the shield's ability to absorb any amount of damage with its last HP, balance-wise? I worry that if the shield regeneration is scaled up it may make shields OP.

i kept them the same

#

they were already powerful

#

I'm gonna throw in my coin here? zoom factor.

#

Since Devin has been on the fence about adding zoom levels to the game, having it be something that can be bought to zoom your screen out would be nice. Binoculars n' stuff.

#

It can be the "vision" stat.

zinc silo Mar 22, 2025, 9:56 AM

#

Slightly annoying to add because the game has a fixed zoom factor right now and I need to disentangle the math, but doable.

#

WaveDifference as a "from" stat in links

bitter magnet Apr 19, 2025, 2:16 AM

#

"mirroredFireArc": if active the fire arc is going to be mirrored to the opposite direction if <180 degrees

#

very interesting for some early turreted ships from britain

#

you could only shoot from the sides

zinc silo Apr 19, 2025, 6:36 AM

#

ah because it was turreted but stuff was in the way at the front/back?

#

zinc silo ah because it was turreted but stuff was in the way at the front/back?

yep

"moveRandomly" for Escorts

#

i want a minelayer that does not direct follow the enemy

#

rather i want it bounding the area around the player

bitter magnet Apr 21, 2025, 2:59 AM

#

escortSpeedAndTurnSpeedPc

#

?

bitter magnet Apr 30, 2025, 10:06 PM

#

"endOfLevelMoney" and "acceleration" for EquipmentType

#

some way to weight the dislikes and likes, maybe?
