And an OCP hab lmao

#

Erm where's the torch?

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 9:12 AM

#

thats an issue with my thorch and rcs mods

#

that ive been dealing with since i MADE them

worthy nexus Sep 7, 2025, 9:12 AM

#

Ah ok

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

worthy nexus And an OCP hab lmao

it spins too!
and a secret bonus stat on the OCP hab is it slowly increases crew morale

#

cause its roomy and has grav

worthy nexus Sep 7, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

That does inspire another very silly idea: cothon but the torch has been removed and replaced by... something

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

something?

worthy nexus Sep 7, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

Idk what

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

ah

worthy nexus Sep 7, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

But there ought to be a reason for removing the torch

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

yeah

#

maybe an rcs only cothon XD

worthy nexus Sep 7, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

High stress mount on the rear maybe?

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

or THICC slots

#

now you got me thinkin at 2am

worthy nexus Sep 7, 2025, 9:15 AM

#

sweet siren maybe an rcs only cothon XD

Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking, but the torch needs to be replaced by something, not just amputated

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 9:15 AM

#

worthy nexus Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking, but the torch needs to be replaced by ...

agreed, i will work on thinking up ideas

#

want me to give you a ping with what i make? (tomorrow, im going to bed before i start tonight XD)

worthy nexus Sep 7, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

I should really go to bed too lol, it's 5am here

#

Sure

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 9:17 AM

#

sounds good. tomorrow (later today) i will work on remaking my RCS and Torch mods.
after looking into a new cothon mod XD

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 5:02 PM

"KTI Engineers recommend against using gimballed main torch engines on this variant of the cothon"

civic mica Sep 7, 2025, 5:14 PM

Oh wow , that' like 100% way to fry salvage

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

should be fun!

#

i never said it was gonna be a "good" ship XD. just that i would make an attempt

#

if it fails, i just remove the main torch slots

worthy nexus Sep 7, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

Is that 8 RCS that I see?

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

yeah

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 5:42 PM

#

worthy nexus Is that 8 RCS that I see?

part of my Cothon mod, 8 RCS. the Mk2 (shown in the image) has angled RCS.

the Mk2.1 changes the RCS on the arms from angled to straight forward, back.

#

and the Tug variant. which is the WIP in the image. uses the Mk2 as a base to branch off of.

so it retains the angled 8 RCS.

#

the Tug also broke the cothon mod entirely. so im working on it again lmao.

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 6:14 PM

#

well.
Pilot Zoom loads and works.
but i broke something with the advanced drones mod when trying to work on the modmain.

working on fixing that now.

My ships and SWOLE mod, seem to be entirely compatible with IoER.

The Supply Factory mod is broken. (appears in the store, does not funciton)
the MPDG's are broken. (appears in the store, does not funciton)

the thrusters are refusing to even load, so those might be scrapped or entirely remade.

rapid fractal Sep 7, 2025, 6:15 PM

#

Hm, I see. I'm not able to be too much help rn, but you are replacing the aux slot and thruster slot scenes for those equipment right?

i wanna say yes. but its been a long time.

i know they load as placeholders tho

#

rapid fractal Sep 7, 2025, 6:18 PM

#

You need to make sure the slots are replaced in the mod main as well, HevLib only handles everything for hard points as of now, so you still need to make sure aux units and thrusters get replaced there

rapid fractal Sep 7, 2025, 6:18 PM

#

sweet siren "Time to do some sketchy shit. Doo da, doo da"

Perhaps something to make it unique, why not position the excavator underneath the hull (where the arm can reach), and put the reactor closer to the top of the hull. Having the reactor right underneath the habitat doesn't make as much sense considering it basically means a radiation-sickness death sentence for crew, plus the backwards-facing excavator can give some practice for flying the cerf, as that ship's cargo bay is on the "bottom"

oh shit so, when i did my modmain cloning lastnight i fucked up cause i treated it exactly like the SWOLE

#

no scene replacements

rapid fractal Sep 7, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

Yeah, I thought I did explain it but I guess not. Direct handling for equipment like that is on backlog though, so maybe in future

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

im sure you did i just didnt comprehend lmao

#

it was 1am. and brain dumb time

rapid fractal Sep 7, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

Fair enough

sweet siren Sep 7, 2025, 6:25 PM

#

atleast i know what to fix on that though

#

thanks

#

that would also most likely explain why my thrusters arent working XD

#

well at least they show in the store again

#

i probably "fixed" the modmain incorrectly, by adding the scene replacements back into the initialization func section. but the MPDs are not functioning still

rapid fractal Sep 7, 2025, 6:42 PM

I'd say upload the mods and I can take a look later. I'm out the house rn, but I can absolutely give it a proper look when I can

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 3:31 AM

ok, giving this a look again and looks like the double quotes strikes again (this is on the factory at least)

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 3:33 AM

#

oh for fuck sake.. HOW does it keep sneaking back in lmao

#

its probably double quoted on all of them

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 3:34 AM

also looks like the thrusters are malformed too

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 3:34 AM

yeah that wouldnt surprise me

the thruster mods were my first attempt at a module i think

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 3:34 AM

i'll do a bunch of the fixes for this (and i'm also going to concatenate the mods into a singular one as it's a pain to do the same thing 7 times over) and see if they work for you

#

i was about to start the modmain fixing.

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 4:13 AM

#

ok, i think i've found another issue: IoE preloading strikes again. basically means i'm going to need to do the same thing for aux slots and trusters, same case again (which may be in part the issue)

#

disabling IoE lets the equipment work fine, just the moment it's added on, it doesn't work

#

i'll put off the fix (at least on my end, i can still help you solve it if you want) so I can get some drivers added to hevlib for it

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

is it just the thrusters with load issues?

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

both thrusters and aux units

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

ahh

#

well if you can tell me the way to solve it for the Aux only that would be fine. i can wait for the thrusters lmao

#

or just.. idk point me to the fixing process? i dont wanna take a ton of your time

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

as far as i could tell, it was just the double quote that was problematic, everything else seemed OK from what i saw

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

i only found the double quote on the supply factory mod

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

hm, i suppose i did do my testing from scratch

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

the MPDG mods were not double quoted, and they arent providing power like they should

#

ah

#

im loading my aux mods with IoER installed cause im trying to test for compatibility issues

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 4:22 AM

#

ohh, that wouldn't help lol

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

i wanna get my mods compatible is the reason XD

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

yeah, unfortunately that's going to be a task completely on my end. on a positive note, it will make adding new ones pretty easily

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

ah is it entirely due to hevlib?
or part of IoER

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

well, not exactly. the issue is completely rooted in IoE, but doing the same thing hevlib does with equipment for thrusters and AUX units is about the easiest way to fix it

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 4:28 AM

#

ahh

#

so i can play with IoER with my ships but aux and thrusters are FUBAR for now. thats fair

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 4:29 AM

yeah, unfortunately so

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 4:37 AM

sweet siren Sep 8, 2025, 9:14 PM

eh... dunno about this one. its kinda goofy, i had to force mount two of the arms to get them working... idk. this might be a scrapped project lmao

rapid fractal Sep 8, 2025, 10:17 PM

#

you can always duplicate slots (have two hardpoint nodes using the type mainLeft for example). they will share the same equipment slot (both hardpoints will always have the same equipment at all times), but it is a way to add two more hardpoints without having to deal with making new ones

sweet siren Sep 9, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

rapid fractal you can always duplicate slots (have two hardpoint nodes using the type `mainLef...

i forgot if we could actually do that lmao. but good to know.

my current issue is i removed the THICC slots in godot, but the game still shows them on the ship. even if i sell and rebuy.

rapid fractal Sep 9, 2025, 12:30 AM

#

that's an issue with the slots still existing in the ship's data. you'd need a completely new ship for them to not show

sweet siren Sep 9, 2025, 12:36 AM

#

oof

#

but again, not sure if i even wanna commit to this arm thing.

it looks good / funny. but its kinda..meh in practice

sweet siren Sep 9, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

@rapid fractal is there a list in the hevlib zip of all the different pointers?

like

POWER_AUX_POWER_SLOT
AUX_POWER_SLOT

#

i havent found a list yet, but im slowly going through every folder searching for one

#

for instance.

im working on the Adv drones mod now, what slot tags are they going to use?

rapid fractal Sep 9, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

Look in scenes/equipment/vanilla_defaults/, there should be two files for it: equipment.gd is basically all vanilla equipment tagged as they would be, and slot_defaults.gd has information on those tags (you'll want to look at the slot_types and equipment_types constants for what you are looking for)

#

Equipment type for drones is EQUIPMENT_NANODRONES, and slot type is HARDPOINT

#

I am in the middle of writing documentation for it tho, so I'll hopefully have something proper on it soon enough

sweet siren Sep 9, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

ty hev

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:05 AM

#

how does that even work...

TWO of the thrusters load in but the third just.. doesnt?

#

they also function like this. the third one just doesnt exist

(this is WITHOUT IoER)

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:15 AM

#

I was about to say that it might be that two of the thrusters are overlapping, instanced scenes tend to have issues where children's properties don't get set correctly and the central thruster has a second one, but that's even weirder

#

Mind if you send the tscn file for the ship at all, I might be able to give it a look

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:16 AM

#

sure. ill send the ship and main torch zips

#

📎 K-T_Industrial_Cothon_Mk2.zip 📎 K-T_Industrial_KTI-MPR_Torch.zip

#

on the cothon mk2. use the mk2, NOT 2.1

#

the image was taken on a mk2.

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:16 AM

#

Ohh ok, is it one of your torches that is having problems perhaps?

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:16 AM

#

it loads fine on my K37

#

and the cothon loads ALL other thrusters fine

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:17 AM

#

K37 isn't really a good control group, as it's a bit weird in that it always works for whatever reason

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:17 AM

#

fair

#

my save doesnt have any other ships tho XD

#

im about to consolidate my thruster mods into a single zip. its probably just conflicts with loading

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:19 AM

#

Yeah, I was doing something along those lines when I was trying to help with compatibility last night, it's also really good as it means you don't need to recompile mods anywhere near as much if an issue affects several thrusters

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:20 AM

#

you think i should just throw everything into a single zip?

#

lots of work, but probably a better option at this point

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:20 AM

#

It's actually not a bad idea, just select all 3 folders and right click and send to zip and it should work ootb

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:21 AM

#

wait.. i can fuckin do that?

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:21 AM

#

You are allowed to have multiple mod main files in a single zip

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:21 AM

#

ive been sitting here. remaking the mods into a single one

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:21 AM

#

that's what the notice on HevLib's main page is for, the fact it has 4 separate mod mains (used to be 5 but one wasn't in use so I cut it)

#

I could actually end up cutting it down to 2, but it's a bit more work so likely not

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:22 AM

#

and what about load order? just remove / set to 0 it from the modmains?

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

You can keep it for the time being, doesn't really affect things as far as I can tell (considering it doesn't work with IoE rn anyway), you could also just set them to zero and be fine too

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

time to experiment lmao

#

my main issue with the thrusters has ALWAYS been a load order conflict with my other mods.

currently
the torch partially loads.
the RCS loads fine.
the ships load perfectly

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:25 AM

#

I suppose in that case, probably best testing with load order

#

Actually, quick question: do you have the debugger set up to work with mods at all? It might make things a lot easier if you're experimenting with priority

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:26 AM

#

probably not

#

im literally making changes. zipping the files. moving them to mods. loading DV. loading my save. and checking the equipment dealer and virtual service for issues.

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:28 AM

#

okok, i think you'll very much benefit from this. while i fetch the file, open the modloader script at res://ModLoader.gd

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:28 AM

#

done

#

I was thinking of just entirely remaking my mods into my own IoER style pack.
ONE zip with ONE modmain.

so hopefully this debug change will help me out a lot XD

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

this modloader script is a manual override that lets you choose mod main files to load inside the addedMods array (in this example are a few of the mods i work on, which are commented out and not loaded). you can also disable mods by setting areModsEnabled to false whenever. just ctrl + a on the contents and replace everything in the one in the editor

📎 ModLoader.gd

#

you can also load mods the usual way by creating a mods folder in the same folder that the editor's executable is to get the vanilla modloading behaviour alongside it, although it's harder to debug that way

(plus, an easy way to use this is to right click on a mod main script and click copy path to quickly get the path for a string)

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

so. this is probably a dumb question

#

this lets me... run the game with mods, in godot?

or just display errors in the "Debugger" window at the bottom...

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

both

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

holy FFFFFFUUUUCK yes.

#

thats gonna speed this up so much XD

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

you can even use breakpoints (toggle by clicking on the left of a line's number, or via F9), or use the breakpoint statement

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

i have no idea what that means XD

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

basically means, when a line of code is run, the game will pause before it processes that line

#

it lets you go through each line to see what's happening, and makes it much easier to see what's going on if something doesn't work as intended

#

although, you're not using much in the way of scripts, so prob not much use right now

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:38 AM

#

ooooh

#

still might be of help

#

does running the game in godot have any benefit other than mod testing? can i spawn in stuff i need to test out or do i need to farm for it?

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:40 AM

#

you have to do it yourself either manually or via code, although let me get my everything save as it'll let you skip out on the hard part of it

#

something that you will want to use however, for even quicker usage, F5 (re)starts the game if you're in the debugger window, and F8 stops it instantly if you're in the debugger or the game window. it's much quicker than pressing the play/stop buttons at the top of the debugger

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

sweet

#

uh that save can go into the appdata yeah?

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

yeah, just make sure to rename it

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

will do ty

#

so it keeps complaining that replaceScene isnt declared. but the game runs my mods fine?

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:45 AM

#

that's probably is an issue, likely means that the mod isn't actually making scene changes

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:46 AM

#

hmm

#

leme take a look here then

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

i'd assume it means that you don't have a replaceScene function in your mod main.

if not, add this function to the very bottom of the mod main (make sure that you unindent first):

func replaceScene(newPath:String, oldPath:String = ""):
    l("Updating scene: %s" % newPath)
    if oldPath.empty():
        oldPath = str("res://" + newPath)
    newPath = str(modPath + newPath)
    var scene := load(newPath)
    scene.take_over_path(oldPath)
    _savedObjects.append(scene)
    l("Finished updating: %s" % oldPath)

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

hmm

#

#

god i love undeclared errors lmao

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

i forgot about that, add this to a line underneath the priotity: var _savedObjects := []

looks to me like an issue that happened with old versions of GDRE

decompile is... 9 5 25

and GDRE is... probably ancient.

0.7.0

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:57 AM

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 2:58 AM

the last time took almost an hour

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

yeah, that was the issue with older versions of gdre. luckily the dev for it is very good at maintaining the codebase, the entire set of issues that i had with it were fixed in like 3 days

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

im so glad to hear that

#

i thought importing DV was a slow hour long process this whole time XD

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

yeah, there were a few really old versions that were faster, although now i think of it, it was the upgrade to godot 3.6 that broke it on that version which made me make the report

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 3:08 AM

#

jesus you aint kidding, this really does have EVERYTHING lmao

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 3:16 AM

#

yeah, it's going to be a good bit of help for it

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 3:17 AM

#

it has already started to speed things up

#

thank you so freakin much lmao

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 3:18 AM

#

yeah ofc, i was pretty happy when i figured it out too, and luckily it's easier to do now considering you no longer have to wait ages or modify vanilla scripts to get it to boot

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 3:19 AM

#

and i dont have to go through multiple steps of zipping the mods

#

something doesnt work. i hit F8. try a fix, move on

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 3:38 AM

#

rapid fractal yeah ofc, i was pretty happy when i figured it out too, and luckily it's easier ...

what would have taken me hours of testing. was done in 20 minutes.

the K225 titan mod was loading at -78 priority, which was for some reason causing an issue with the MPR main torch mod.

loading the K225 at 90. and the MPR torch at 7. works perfectly

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 3:38 AM

#

good to hear

sweet siren Sep 10, 2025, 3:38 AM

#

thank you again hev

rapid fractal Sep 10, 2025, 3:38 AM

#

of course

#

i'll let you know when i get around to writing the code for thruster and aux compatability, but for now enjoy

prime nest Oct 1, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

Sorry for being an idiot but where can I download the mod?

rapid fractal Oct 1, 2025, 5:28 PM

#

on the github ( here ), each of the folders in the file system (see first image) are for each mod collection. within each collection you'll see a set of .zip files (see second image). to download a zip, open the link for each .zip file, and press the Download raw file button (see third image)

damn hev you jumped on that fast XD

thank you.

sweet siren Oct 1, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

prime nest Thank you very much 🙏

also be aware my mods are currently not compatible with hev's IoER mod

rapid fractal Oct 1, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

Yeah, I was in the middle of updating HevLib to support the new hud

#

Also, thanks for reminding me. I did end up making support for aux units, but I'm still to do the same for thrusters yet

sweet siren Oct 1, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

np, take your time XD

sweet siren Oct 1, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

prime nest Thank you very much 🙏

It's an annoying zip setup, i admit. but it also lets you pick and choose what you want or dont want to use.

when hevlib is updated to support thrusters, i plan on changing my folder system to be a single large mod pack like IoER is.

sweet siren Oct 2, 2025, 12:18 AM

#

maybe instead of fully changing, i offer the choice.

download the whole pack, or pick and choose.

options for later...

rapid fractal Oct 2, 2025, 2:18 AM

#

Something I have considered is making some way to prevent an equipment item from appearing on the list, likely through a config toggle or something. I'd need to actually finish up the config system I'm working on first however

sweet siren Oct 2, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

that would be cool to have.
probably over complicating things but having it as a part of a mod menu of sorts would be cool

rapid fractal Oct 2, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

it wouldn't complicate things as much as you'd think, probably no more difficult than defining a bool config entry and then having the equipment item check if the bool is true

sweet siren Oct 2, 2025, 7:10 PM

#

oh. well dang ok thats awesome

idk how to do that, but its still awesome lmao

rapid fractal Oct 2, 2025, 7:11 PM

#

well, it'd be a hevlib functionality as i am working on a new configuration system that should make it easy, plus you have to remember that my mentality is me suffering trying to get something working so it's easy for future use in mods

sweet siren Oct 2, 2025, 7:11 PM

#

hev being the hero of the modding community lmao

rapid fractal Oct 2, 2025, 7:13 PM

#

lol yeah, pretty much entirely stems from converting IoE's old slot system to something that works with other mods and vanilla

sweet siren Oct 2, 2025, 7:13 PM

#

i shall standby for now till hevlib is more prepared

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

@sweet siren i think i might've actually figured out a way to get the equipment to work without needing specific HevLib tools.

basically, what i've done is created an extension to the shipyard script that runs one second after the it's loaded during the onready phase (which should be enough time to load everything to memory before the user can load a save), and then reload the ship instances to load any changes that might've been made since the script was last modified (since shipyard is an autoload, changes have to be made before the onready phase where changes will be locked normally)

the reasoning i use the ResourceLoader.load() method rather than the usual load() is it lets me create a completely new instance (it's the true statement at the end of the function), having this false (which the load() func does as it's just shorthand) means that it loads a cached instance rather than a completely new copy, that cached instance being the one loaded when the shipyard scene was put in memory

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 6:30 PM

#

Oooooh. Want me to give it a test run when im home?

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 6:31 PM

#

absolutely, i'd need to push a release to hevlib first. but i don't think that parts an issue

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 6:31 PM

#

Just let me know what i need to change and when ypu are ready for the test

#

Im out grocery shopping atm

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 6:34 PM

#

you wouldn't actually need to change anything, apart from another download to hevlib

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

Ah nice

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 10:48 PM

well im home so if you get around to pushing it leme know

#

ill just toss it directly into my mods folder without making changes to anything on my end

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

yeah, i pushed it a while back, just check here: #1354537481197850655 message

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

oh sweet, im gonna try it now

#

does this potentially fix issues with IOER compatibility and my own mods?

#

or am i just testing if it functions normally for now

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 10:55 PM

#

that's the intention, although i haven't done any proper testing yet

#

theoretically it'll work as it forces the ships to load after all replacements

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 10:56 PM

#

ill test IoER now

#

i confirmed it loaded my mods fine without IOER
so now to test compatibility.

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 10:59 PM

#

rapid fractal that's the intention, although i haven't done any proper testing yet

you brilliant mad genious

#

KTI mods loaded alongside IOER

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 10:59 PM

#

there is the other part: does it install on the ship correctly?

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

im checking now dont worry

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 11:01 PM

#

the slot issue was a fix i made about a week ago as i moved the code to the onready phase, but it broke basically every other part as A) weaponslots stopped working, and B) with a fix to weaponslots, the title screen modifications stopped working, so this should hopefully resolve all of those

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 11:01 PM

#

hmm
its got the old issue of partial slotting.
my Titan mod should have 6 RCS on the back, and its only got 1 of the 3 torches.

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 11:02 PM

#

huh, that's weird

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 11:02 PM

#

that COULD be on my mod end

#

i need to see if this is the fixed torches mod or an old copy

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 11:03 PM

#

best thing to do is to check with a non-K37 model vanilla ship, as that would make it definitive it works

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 11:04 PM

#

checking now.

#

my test dummy.
MAD torches and RCS layout.

#

seems not

#

single torch, no rcs

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 11:07 PM

#

ah, unfortunate

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 11:07 PM

#

let me make sure tho

#

remember the last thing i was working on was a fix for this issue, its been an issue even with my own mods

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 11:07 PM

#

i suppose that's fair

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 11:08 PM

#

I can confirm the IOER stuff loaded fine. thought there was a massive loading time with IoER installed

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 11:09 PM

#

yeah, it does do that unfortunately

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 11:11 PM

#

ok i have confirmed that my mods are all the newest versions

#

so its having an issue still somewhere

#

however, it seems to be only having issues loading MY thrusters

so this is still a great win

sweet siren Oct 3, 2025, 11:25 PM

#

rapid fractal yeah, it does do that unfortunately

did you remove the cargo aux slot?
the one that handled secondary MPU modifiers

#

or is my titan overriding the slot for it

#

swapped to a stock ship, it is overriding it

rapid fractal Oct 3, 2025, 11:31 PM

#

oh yeah, it won't appear without the proper nodes, which won't get added unless you request them to be added to the ship

#

lemmie quickly write up what you'd need

#

what's the shipName variable for your titan again?

#

actually nvm i got it

#

ok, what you'd need to do is to make a folder named HEVLIB_EQUIPMENT_DRIVER_TAGS inside of your mod's folder, then place this file inside. it should add everything needed to replicate the titan's bay aux loadout

this is my current WIP of mods that... "function" (the MPDGs dont work, the thrusters are still angry about slots, but the ships load and function...)

rapid fractal Oct 4, 2025, 12:52 AM

i suppose the issue might also stem from me having other godot applications open, as there might be some issues with the way the debugger works

#

i'll look into this later, as i'm doing a rather large set of processes so might not be the best thing to run a game at the same time either

sweet siren Oct 4, 2025, 12:54 AM

#

np np, ty for working on it

rapid fractal Oct 4, 2025, 6:38 AM

ok i figured out the issue, and it's entirely my fault bc i didn't write it in the editor (if i had a dime for every time i wrote improperly formatted stuff when not using the editor this week...)

#

let me fix it

#

and yeah it has taken me this long to look into it

#

and yup it works ootb

#

pretty much all you need to do as a fix is make this dash here any valid character for variable names (like an underscore) because i forgot dashes are used purely for subtraction

#

like this

sweet siren Oct 4, 2025, 8:14 AM

I will totally fix that in the morning. thanks again hev

On github it says that the k-tech mods arent compatible with industries of enceladus but i see a lot of people with both in their mod folders. any info? still very new to the modding scene for this game

i believe it's because the readme files were written when Space's IoE was completely incompatible with other mods that added equipment to specific slots (which included equipment added by K-tech), it's likely different now but I'd say there's no guarantee that they'd work without some tinkering.

I suppose in some semblance of good news I'm finally getting around to making something to fix the issue with thrusters, the bad news is that I now remember why I procrastinated on it as it's going to be a documentation nightmare with some 50ish possible variables that you can set for each thruster. Most of those will be either self explanatory by name, or just not needed for 99% of things, but I do want to have everything put with a descriptor and be something that can be setup quickly, so likely will be a week or so before anything comes to fruition

thrusters and aux units packaged together as something compatible with other mods, plus configs to enable/disable individual equipment items

#

there's a few quirks i'm aware of as i did copy some code from other mods for it, but it's a proof of concept for it

sweet siren Dec 7, 2025, 2:13 AM

soooo not ready for github release then eh?

rapid fractal Dec 7, 2025, 2:44 AM

probably is now that i think about it, I was mostly thinking for updates but given the manifest likely won't be hosted there anyway, probably can go up without issue anyway

sweet siren Dec 7, 2025, 10:22 PM

#

I have updated the github to hopefully be slightly easier to use.

now each mod listed has Right click > Save as next to its name.

to download the zip of that specific mod, just right click, save as, and it will download the zip for you.

#

I have also included Hev's AUX torch bundle on the main page under # Bundles with the same right click save functionality.
