ship transfer across saves
« on: December 01, 2019, 09:35:43 PM »

some mods i have installed have gotten updates (that break the save so i didn't update yet)

but i want to.

so i guess i'll have to make yet another new save.

i have a ship i want to take with me to my new save.

how can i do that? i read about save transfer but that isn't updated for 0.9.1a.

since the save is a xml file can i just copy/paste the relevant part into the new save file after i created it? its the first ship in my fleet.


edit: its a caliph-class superdreadnought so technically its several ship parts.

You can use console commands to give yourself whatever ships you want to transfer. That's how I would do it.

Remember that if you're doing a multihull ship, you're going to want to list the variants instead of the ships and "addship <variantID>" I think all the modules are specified in the .variant files

i already knew about spawning in ships. it was more about the tons of rare weapons i had installed on the caliph that make it almost unstoppable. i guess i'll just spawn it in via console and go looking for a new loadout then.

thanks for the tips though!

yes but gathering the internal names for all those weapons will be a chore considering they are from over ~15 mods..

Yeah that wouldn't be very fun. I guess it's up to you what's easier: looking through a bunch of stores or looking through the weapon list :'(. I did it once but I only had ~5 faction mods installed and it was still a pain. Good luck!

One command that could help you is 'forcemarketupdate' which immediately restocks and changes the wares available on all markets that way you can buy the weapons you need quicker
