Help modding weapons recovered after battles
« on: April 07, 2016, 01:39:20 PM »

I love playing Starsector with a hodge-podge fleet built out of whatever I can find.  I want to try a playthrough where I eschew markets completely in favor of only using what I can recover from battles.  I don't want to have to play super-conservatively, so this means I need a lot more ship captures and weapon salvage to keep my fleet going.  I've already bumped up the boarding chance in settings.json to my liking, but I don't know which, if any, of the other variables will give me more weapon salvage.  My best guess is salvageValuePerFP, which I'll mess around with later today, but I also wanted to see if anyone here had any advice.

Am I looking at the right variable?
Anyone else tried messing with this sort of thing?  Any results to share?
Will messing with this lead to any screwy effects?  For example, will setting this too high cause instability if the game tries to give me more weapons than the fleet had?

Thanks in advance.

You could also take a look at this mod which probably would do what you want.
