Chicken's Tech Shop

Download Link (0.1.5)
Github Link

A mod for Starsector that creates a special contact called Chicken, a spacer that specialises in selling tech goodies
Meeting him will create a submarket at his location that sells items such as AI cores, Colony items and even Blueprints.
This mod is also available on Nexus Mods

Information

The inital contact will start once the Player is Level 5. An intel message will tell you where to meet Chicken for the introduction scene.
This will unlock Chickens Tech Shop, a special submarket which gives you access to AI cores, Special Items and Blueprints.
The number of items available for sale increases as you do contracts for Chicken. Once you reach certain credit thresholds the Tech market will increase in level, giving more options.
Chickens missions are based of Vanilla ones (for now) with custom text.

I made this mod to help alleviate the late game, where you have stacks of credits but nothing to splash out on.
Also, it was frustrating having to roll the dice for the Colony items I wanted.
This mod gives a way to slowly build up a reliable source of technology items, letting me (and you!) spend credits on things we want.

All feedback welcome.

Change Chicken's text to descriptors that are more chicken like...

"Bright stars and cool jets, capt'n," he bawks (clucked).

"Let's see here," he pecks at his datapad.

Please?

I strongly second this! Quirky and unique dialogue would be amazing and fit the setting so well.

[Kiith]

Sounds great for having some fun mid-late game.

Any way to add it mid game? Got an error there when i tried.

[Omnicast]

Okay just another idea... setup a branching campaign for Chicken where he or she does a face reveal at the end. The portrait changes to reveal an actual chicken. Depending on the choices made it's either a giant birb or a cyborg or a mutant with three heads. Then again you could just troll us with cooked chicken feet.

Hello there.

Simple question when can we expect an update to your amazing mod?

[Gris]

Good day chickenboy! 
Still any plans to update this in 0.97a?
Thank you!

I hope its not abandoned. 

[N3N]

Still any plans to update this in 0.97a?

It seams to work, see here:
https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=30727.msg451265#msg451265

[N3N]

 
There might even be a version 0.1.4 online on GitHub?
 

 

[chickenboy]

Yes, sorry guys I did do a couple of changes between now and since I stopped
I'm excited for Starsector 0.98, so I've updated this mod

Changes are very minor

Not sure yet, didnt check, but it might be that you have a case insensitiv/sensitive issue

[Vanquisher3343]

I am level 7 and Chicken has not shown up yet at the Prism Freeport yet Is there a code I can run into the console mod for the event to fire?

[Massacre]

Btw AI Cores in market is easy money, since you can sell them to Tri Tachyon on price higher than buy price, I recall this issue with one own old mod which adds extra markets, and had to put huge tariff on AI Cores one.

I'm getting an error when scrolling down the list of blueprints in Prism Free Port, when I reach a point it CTDs and gives me this

I'm getting an error when scrolling down the list of blueprints in Prism Free Port, when I reach a point it CTDs and gives me this



Could use some help in troubleshooting the error code to see what's wrong:

The mod that adds missp_claymore_wing_re removed it in the latest build:

Ship/Weapon Pack 1.2.0
Version 1.2.0
Removed Claw, Claymore, and Halberd wings (Lightning stays)

https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=11018.105

So you need to either remove the listings of removed ships from the chicken mod, or re-add them to the S/W Pack (but I presume they were removed for a reason). Removing the references is going to be easier and is simply a ctrl+f / delete job. Turns out I don't know Java & it's autobuilding libraries.

Edit: given the way Star builds libraries, make sure you have deleted all your old mods folders, then re-install current mods. Don't just over-write them (which I suspect this is from). Or wait for the author to chime in . But a fresh install is likely to solve this. Also, old saves will not be compatible.
