AoTD changes the way megastructures, specifically the way that coronal hypershunts are restored. This all works fine - except when you use the perihelion project to build a coronal hypershunt from scratch, in which case it will build but wont trigger the correct dialogue options allowing you to establish the AoTD outpost on the megastructure, rendering the perihelion project useless.

Edit: So the above is apparently a known issue and there isn't really a solution for it from what I understand

There is also another issue with binary systems, I built the perihelion project in a binary system with a blue giant primary and orange secondary. For some reason, upon completion the hypershunt appeared around the orange, not the blue giant. I'm also being allowed to build the perihelion project in that same system again. I haven't tried to build it again so idk what happens but I can't fathom why I'd want to hypershunts in one system.

Getting an odd crash. 100% consistent, just tested it four times. when I load in, go to AOTD tech tree and look at stellar mirror, if I mouse over the building to see its tooltip, I get an instant crash to desktop. Get this message afterward. The error logs pretty big, but this is the part i found referencing the stellar mirror.

I just got done reporting this on the AoTD discord as I'm experiencing it too, do you encounter this issue for stellar reflectors that are actually built, or just in the tech tree?

Are pirates supposed to be sending relief fleets to Mayasuran colonies?

An uncharacteristically nice gesture to be sure but it did made me wonder if the pirates have special restrictions on what diplo events fire regarding them.

What is the problem with other ship packs specifically?Are there any kind of ships which will work out of the box? or does every single ship mod need a patch to work with this mod?

I'm just trying to get a feel for what work needs to be done for modded ships to work with this mod.

MHMods_Reloader.png is causing problems for linux users like myself (game cannot launch) due to the mod searching for mhmods_reloader.png instead. The Linux file is case sensitive so the difference causes issues when searching for the file and crashes the game on launch.

Renaming this file to the lower case version has fixed this issue and I highly recommend avoiding upper case letters for file names that the game has to search for.


I just realised that this isn't the first report of this either:
Hello, just have a  filename case sensitivity issue that cause the mod to not work on linux. Manually changing the filenames solves the issue, but if this change could eventually make its way in that would be appreciated:

We seem to have a linux compatibility problem - BSC_Stobo.png is preventing the game from launching because it is searching for BSC_stobo instead. The linux file system is case sensitive so this fails to launch. Changing the case to the lower case version fixes this issue.

I highly recommend to keep file names to lower case only otherwise you are one typo away from problems for Linux users.

Ashes of The Domain - Vaults of Knowledge 2.1.4 Save compatible with 2.1.0-2.1.3
Spoiler
-Fixed bug with modular constructor : fuel production type not being able to be inserted into fuel production
-Fixed bug with subsidized farming, that basically does not allow uaf item to be installed
-Added support for Genelab from boggled mod that if Genelab is present, Orbital Fleetwork and Skunkwork wont add polution
-Removed some left-over placeholders
[close]

Your bug fix for the uaf item on farms seems to have caused another bug where all items installed in farms are uninstalled and moved into storage on game load.

Edit: This bug only happens when completely restarting the game. Simply loading a save in-game doens't trigger it.

I think it's time for a new thread, what with you throwing out more updates in a month than Tart did in years.

I considered that however this thread is still on the index so I don't really know if it makes sense to have two of them. Also sorry for the frequent micro updates lol.
Nothing to apologise for. And since you've taken over the mod, it would make sense to have a thread where you can actually edit the OP and title.

Especially because the title is misleading to someone just browsing the board and who doesn't know about the mod_info.json version number trick, it looks like the mod is out of date, but from what I read here this seems to be updated for the latest version.

At risk of seeming blind or oblivious, I have a question. How do you use Modular Constructors?
I at least skimmed every page on this thread, read all the patch notes, looked on the main page under "guides", Tried to install it in my Heavy Industry, checked if there was a special project for it, Noted that the "help" button in the bottom left of the research screen seems to be grayed out, checked the Galatia Academy, and left all of them in the Research Storage box on a colony. What am I not doing, or where do I go to get answers?

First you need to hit up pre-collapse facilities like you already seem to be doing to get (most likely) dormant modular constructor. The dormant ones aren't immediately useful.

Second you either need to get lucky or build the digital consortium industry. Lucky means that you've gotten a modular constructor that isn't dormant and instead attuned to an industry type. Going with your heavy industry example, you will need a dormant constructor - heavy industry.
If you don't get lucky you'll have only dormant modular constructors, these are useless on their own and can't be slotted anywhere but can be, with the digital consortium, a relevant colony item and a month of time be turned into the mining, fuel production, heavy industry etc. variants of the modular constructor. For this option just click the digital consortium structure and click the blue option.

As for various modular constructors, they each slot into their respective industry types, they don't do anything by themselves but the higher tier upgrades for various industries that you research will often demand the appropriate modular constructor to be installed in the industry before you are allowed to upgrade it. So for your heavy industry the item won't do anything, but upgrade it to an orbital works then look at the available upgrade for that and you'll see what I mean.

Edit: Note that the digital consortium needs to be researched before it can be built.

I may just be dense, but I can't figure out how to start researching anything. I've built the Research Facility on one of my colonies, and the instructions say,

Quote
To progress further, you will need to construct the Research Facility, which allows you to access the tech tree using either the CTRL-T hotkey or the option that appears in the building’s dropdown menu when clicked.

However, CTRL-T does nothing, and the only options in the building's dropdown are to shut it down or install an item.

Look at the top left corner of your screen, you should see a little tab sticking out - click it and it'll expand out to reveal a button to the tech tree. I'll admit I initially missed it too.

I like abyss, good work with mod.
I have some question about abyss:

1) Is there only 13 location in abyss or this zone generate randomly?
2) Can you add more mod crew in abyss?  I only find one mod crew mod that let me use abyss ship with crew,
3) Can you make enemis more aggresive so they dont run away and try gather together and then attack.

This is a bit spoilery but it addresses your concern about 3.
Spoiler
Keep exploring the deeper into the abyss and 3 will solve itself

so i build Ismara's Sling on a water world then what do i do next just wait? wish there a more in-depth guide on how to fully terraform a planet

Ishmara's sling simply allows you to fulfill the "requires water" condition for planets that are in the same system as the water world in question.

You can see what the conditions of a project is by mousing over it in the terraforming screen.

Hi, I want to make my own mod and i really like the exotech system (i.e. teleporting stations, and non hostility, essentially being neutral to everyone) is it ok if i look in your code to see how it works and possibly apply it in my own mod? (if i ever upload it, ill credit you)

Wouldnt quite recommend it as the mod is written in Kotlin, which probably wont help much if your coding with Java. Though if you do wanna take aspects of it i dont mind.
The non-hostility just comes from there being no "real" markets that are added to the economy, so nex isnt making it do anything.

I'm not familiar with Kotlin so I was curious as to what the advantages of using it over Java is. Especially since the intellij decompiler seems to do a decent job of converting kotlin into java code. Also since some mods seem to use a little bit of Kotlin on the side even if the main source is in Java.

Is anyone else having problems with alpha-core Chameleon not eliminating pather cells like they should? I'm running AoTD as well in case that's relevant.

Sooo let's talk about compatibility..
especially with AoTD

Been testing out the differents colonies mods together and been pretty shocked that now these two dont works together, but on my earlier game, in .96, everything was working like a charm.

[Issue]
Centralization Bureau does not detect the custom industries added by VoK (vault of knowledge):
-Fracking
-Subsidized Farming

[what's supposed to happen]
The centralization bureau tooltips should show the industries that are in duplicate in the system and boosts them accordingly, doesnt work if i have a regular AI Core inside, or a logistics core

[things i tried]
I downgraded the subsidized farming and the fracking to their vanilla counterparts, and now they are seen by the centralization bureau, maybe there's a tag or a list we can add the industries to? to make it compatible?

Linked are the screen of the tooltips on the custom industries, and then the tolltips when i downgraded the industries to their vanilla variants





Inside IndEvo there is a file under data/config/indEvo called "bureau_industry_whitelist.csv". That file lists all of the industries that the bureau will search for duplicates. All you have to do is create a new file under the vaults of knowledge mod data/config/indEvo/bureau_industry_whitelist.csv and then add the ids of the AotD industries to that new whitelist file. That way when the game loads the mods, those files will get merged and you'll have all the industries in AotD also be considered for centralization bonuses.

Note: I've attached a txt version of the file I use, you will need to turn it into a csv using libreoffice or excel. You might also want to remove "tourism" as in my game I made a custom code patch for indevo that increases the "direct" income of artisanal farming and the resort, since you don't have that patch the resort will only have it's luxury demand increase.

Edit: I just realized that this is actually the indevo, not AotD thread, given what I've said above, it would probably be more convenient if you made this compatibility request on AoTDs end. That way Hartley doesn't have to keep up with all the mods that add industries, especially through mod updates and each author can decide the level of centralization integration with IndEvo themselves.
