"Automated" Hull Mod
« on: April 24, 2021, 05:35:15 AM »
I don't know if messing around with the game files counts as Modding but here we go...

Where is the Automaed Hull Mod file? I've looked everywhere a hull mod should be, and a few places it shouldn't be. The ships acknowledge it exists, but the files don't have anything anywhere for me to look at.

As far as I can tell, it is merely a label for a hullmod and not a true hullmod since it doesn't seem to do anything to the ship itself.  If you look in any of AI ships, you will see that they have a built-in hullmod called "automated" and it does not exist as a traditional hull mod.

What are you trying to do?  Make more ships automated or remove the automated hull mod from the AI ships?

Some hullmod scripts, such as the one for Automated Ship, can be found inside the API at com/fs/starfarer/api/impl/hullmods. It's included in a zip file in starsector-core.

Yes and no. Some effects are triggered by code that looks for the hullmod's presence, like the ability to install AI cores as officers. It also has a few effects applied by the hullmod itself (zero crew, no transfer-command, CR penalty that Automated Ships skill compensates for)
