Could you have your hullmod do:
stats.getDynamic().getMod(Stats.INDIVIDUAL_SHIP_RECOVERY_MOD).modifyFlat(id, 0f);
When it's not in the player's fleet?

I tried this. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It may work after player combat salvage (haven't seen an example otherwise yet), but not on derelicts spawning after NPC fleets engage in a battle. I recovered an Astral derelict within 5 minutes of a new game in Hybrasil due to Archean Order and Tri-Tachyon skirmishes even though it has the hullmod.

CampaignPlanet oldPlanet = (CampaignPlanet)this.market.getPrimaryEntity();
CampaignPlanet newPlanet = null;
newPlanet = new CampaignPlanet(oldPlanet.getId(), oldPlanet.getName(), newPlanetType, oldPlanet.getRadius(),

(I'd highly recommend not doing this since you're using core code directly rather than using API stuff. You're relying on code that could change or stop working in the way you'd expect. Plus, just generally, if the API doesn't cut it for something, I'd much rather see a suggestion/request for improving it than a workaround like that.)

Ahh, hmm, yeah, I wasn't thinking about that, you're right. I suppose you *could* probably clear out the "recoverable" salvage special on nearby derelicts as needed with a script, even if that's a bit of an inelegant approach.

When does an orbital station get autofitted, and which code handles this?

I've just noticed that e.g. Jangala's station has a different loadout each time a new game is started, but those in a couple of mods (which add markets in the code rather than using the economy JSONs) have a constant loadout, which is retained even after the station is killed.
Campaign plugin's pickFleetInflater also doesn't seem to be called for stations.

[Alex]

Hmm - iirc, pickFleetInflater() does get called for it, and it's autofitted at the usual times. A bit of inflater configuration (provided it's the DefaultFleetInflater) is done in OrbitalStation.applyCRToStation() - it ensures all weapons are available.

... and, hmm, I think there's actually a bug there - it'll only make all weapons available if the station has already been inflated. This might explain Jangala ending up with different weapons - or, rather, since the player spawns next to it, it'll inflate for the first time, which will not have DefaultFleetInflaterParams.allWeapons == true.

Then again, it seems like faction stations should also have the same issue, since they would inflate for the first time when the player is nearby. So, not quite sure what's going on as far as that specifically. Possibly for some of the factions, given the autofit tags and weapon tiers, there just isn't much/any variety in possible station fits?

is there simple way how via scripting/mod prevent / omit loading of any and all music (especially to stop building it's playlist) ?
this would cover both vanilla and every active mod

note: 33% of all mods size is music and it has notable effect on loading times

[Alex]

Music is not loaded until it starts playing and is actually streamed from disk when it plays, so it has zero impact on loading times. So, uh, a good news/bad news type of situation

this is with music disabled, on load

[Alex]

It's checking that the music files actually exists; the process takes a few milliseconds per track at most and does not involve actually loading the file.

As you can see from the log there it took around 5 ms (59473 minus 59468); that's actually a bit higher than I'd expect though it depends on your HDD etc - for reference, on my PC, this process takes about 40 ms for all of vanilla's music. Even if it took 5 ms per, it'd take 200 tracks to add a second onto game's the load time.

It's not possible to load the music ahead of time. It would take too much memory and too much time.

Could I make the hullmod do the inverse and set the recovery rate average for the player only and check for things that make that number 100? (might be more things than I think and would likely be update volatile, though)

Then add the UNBOARDABLE tag?

I've got a ship with modules, and it seems to work fine in the simulator, except when I call it as a reinforcement, it shows up without its modules. Is there something simple I'm missing that would make it do that?

EDIT: Disregard, I figured it out. It was not set as a SHIP_WITH_MODULES

How do I get the game to read my industries.csv, and are there any conditions (i.e. an empty field in the csv) that would make the game disregard the industries inside? Is that something that happens automatically, or is there some initialization I need to do in the mod plugin?

To build off of that - how do I make an industry buildable? Even when overriding and setting isHidden() to return false and isAvailabletoBuild() to true, my industry still won't show up. I'm currently testing to generate a planet with the industry to verify that the industry exists in the first place.

Thanks!

Is there a way to dynamically change the render order of modules? Or can it only be changed in the .variant file?

As long as it's in the right folder, it should be read/merged with the core file automatically.

Hmm - make sure it's not an upgrade of something else, but aside from that, it sounds like you've got it covered. Maybe make a copy of an industry with no requirements - both as far as the code and the csv row - and start from that? Light Industry (among others) should make a good starting point.

Changing the hull size might work - larger hull sizes are rendered below smaller ones - but it might have some side effects like more powerful explosions. Removing the module from the engine and re-adding it might also work; iirc the ones added last are rendered on top, but I could be wrong about that.

How do I make a black hole have the correct hazard rather than a corona?

[Alex]

Check star_gen_data.csv - iirc the solar wind there has a negative direction?

Also see: StarSystemGenerator.setBlackHoleIfBlackHole() - that adds the event horizon terrain.
