Couple questions
« on: February 25, 2020, 09:18:22 PM »

Hi,

I have a few questions.

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to change your faction color? (I'm using Nexerelin)

What is the shortcut key to select things fast in your inventory? I saw a youtube video of someone selling a bunch of things fast, but can't find it again.

How can I slow XP gain a little?

How can I make quest penalties a little harsher? (If you don't complete them)

Thanks.

passing this one.

you need to enable it on one of the games files, if I'm not wrong you will them be able to use alt to just pass over an item to sell it.

How can I slow XP gain a little?

same way as the last one, you can use the game files, you can also increase the level cap up to 103, which is when you can have every perk on the game, just to note that if you are using the SkilledUp mod it does change the behavior aredy and I don't know how to change the speed then.

How can I make quest penalties a little harsher? (If you don't complete them)

Thanks.

This is up to a mod, I think it might be possible to use the bar quest fleet code to trigger on failure of mission board mission.

The key is Alt, but you have to enable it in the game settings - apparently it's still in testing as it was found to be a bit unstable, so it's disabled by default.

Go into your game files and navigate to [ starsector-core > data > config ] then open up "settings.json" in Notepad++ or similar. Scroll down until you find this line (line 48 I think)...
Code
"altMouseMoveToMassTransfer":false,
... and change the value from false to true. Save and close the file, then open the game. You should now be able to hold Alt and click and drag with the mouse across your cargo to select and transfer multiple stacks of items much more easily.

Turns out there's a config setting for this too! Pop back into settings.json as above, and scroll down to line 450:
Code
"xpGainMult":1,
Probably just set that to a decimal like 0.8 or something and you'll be good to go!

It's not unstable, as much as it a nuisance. If you alt-tab in inventory screen, you might end up selecting certain items you didn't want to sell or throw out the airlock.

Ah, thanks, I must have been misinformed.
