Hello yall, just wondering when its gonna get updated to 98.
One of the best mods in Starsector, we need it now!

[H7feez]

Just a heads up, the mod still works in 0.98a. Still works as in it doesn't crash the game instantly at least.

But ARE THERE crashes?

[Cryovolcanic]

It's working for me.

Request: Remove Maxwell Scientific, they don't add anything and I'm sure their fleets and starbases are slowing down my game for little benefit.

The sector fringes have felt a little lifeless without xiu liu's fiddling afoot. Very good mod. Very big mod, I had my issues with it when I first tried it in a 97 playthrough, felt it added too much.

But I've come around to the hazard mining way and its absence is notably for the worse, and the submods are good. the massive array of junker ships, the brighton federation, all memorable and interesting.

The fang society and draco group are also pretty fun to mess with and overall, A lot of the themes present are only being enhanced by recent vanilla updates and enemy factions being added.

If I did have any constructive critique it would be probably echoing some of the recent statements around containing and coralling maxwell/submodding it. Maybe to a system or two instead of all over the place. With a fairly significant number of faction mods already, I start to have concern over things that might tip over the edge performance wise

If it does work flawlessly already in 98 all the better, but overall thank you for your work and here's to a good future for hazard mining inc

I play with Ashes of the Domain: Questions of Loyalty, which alters how commissions are handled, obligation points, ranks, etc are a thing in it. The glaring issue is that Maxwell has got some ***-stomping-Superfleets that roam his systems and any bounty that spawns in one of them is all but guaranteed to die within seconds of me entering the system and forcing me to eat a whopping 90 points penalty when it comes to a commission. Honestly, turning Maxwell into a separate submod download, or giving him a unique, non-procgen system like how the Fang/Draco do, would massively improve people's (and my) issues with Maxwell.

Heyho, in the current version (0.38f) the "Mining Hybridization Amplifier" hullmod still causes all weapons to deal hard flux even if there's just a single hybrid beam installed anywhere on the ship. Just posting this in case it hasn't been successfully fixed yet.

Reason seems to be that within the script (HMI_MiningHSA.java), in modifyDamageDealt, which the game already seems to call for every weapon, you iterate over all weapons on the ship manually in a for loop, and if any hybrid weapon is found, you set the damage type of the /current/ weapon the game is caling modifyDamageDealt for to hard flux.

Basically, you can save the for loop there and just check the param for the current weapon and the mount type, without any looping.
A good reference would be, for example, the "Laser Collimator" hullmod of the "Emergent Threats" mod, which does the same effect for a select few weapons and works fine (At least that's where I looked to see what's wrong out of curiosity, since I'm no starsector modder.  ).

Hope it helps if it wasn't fixed yet.
Great mod!

100%
And you cannot even remove their stations, they just magically respawn with all their fleets...

Is it possible to remove the faction by just commenting them out, or should we just hope they get moved to their own sub-mod instead?

[Zucchini Man]

Where even are the Maxwell stations/markets? Can't seem to find any.

[Karak03]

I am quite certain that Maxwell's markets are randomly generated every time you make a new sector. He's not like the other factions where he gets a specific system to call his own, like say the Fang Society.

[Poxil]

This is the only mod that I need to wait to update for my 0.98 playthrough, I take it that it's related to the Maxwell faction?

[Selfcontrol]

The mod is already compatible with 0.98 simply by updating the modinfo file into the folder.

It's just that people are not fond of the Maxwell mini-faction (can't say I ain't either).

Thank you AIfonzo Thanks for the continued updates
This is my favorite mod 

[King Alfonzo]

There's an issue with select bounties...

Thanks for the catches, fixed in next version!

This Junk-Class Combat Freighter is easily the worst and the best ship in the game.

Glad you're enjoying it! You may like it a bit better in the next version.

I just saw my prognosticator using it super powerful long cd system on a single enemy fighter.

Thanks for the catch, fixed in next version!

A request, but seeing how interesting and unique a lot of the HMI places are, would it be worth adding some special uncolonized star systems that have unique conditions to it that make it difficult but interesting to colonize and turn a profit on?

This may be some future content potentially, but I don't really have plans to do this yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, I just recently noticed that during sector generation, for some reason the HMI spawn area gets extra stars when the sector is being generated.
Could anyone point me to where in the code i might find how sector generation is governed?

This happens because the HMI systems are generated after the main generation occurs. Check the modplugin, you'll see that the generate files are activated in "onNewGameAfterProcGen" instead of "OnNewGame". The main problem is that if this isn't done, then a disproportionate amount of procgen content vanishes in that area, and it's quite noticeable.

You know playing around with the mod a bit longer I was wondering:  Why don't Fang Society or Draco Group make pirate bases like the base factions?  It makes them seem far more... passive and less villainous.

In a previous version I had them do this. People found it to be the most infuriating thing imaginable, as you'll be just cruising through space only to get unexpectedly and suddenly ganked by three huge fleets of Draco. I was asked me to get rid of it.

did anyone get back to you on this?

This occurred because they updated from an older version to a new one. They either: copy and pasted the new folder over an older file, resulting in an awkward merging that caused the crash, or they tried to run a save from a previous version and it crashed. In the case of the first - delete the HMI mod folder, and then copy paste the new version in. In the case of the second, unfortunately there is no fix, and you'll have to start a new savegame.

Great mod!

Thanks for this catch! I had completely missed this. Fixed in next version!
