Hi, I want to make my own mod and i really like the exotech system (i.e. teleporting stations, and non hostility, essentially being neutral to everyone) is it ok if i look in your code to see how it works and possibly apply it in my own mod? (if i ever upload it, ill credit you)
Wouldnt quite recommend it as the mod is written in Kotlin, which probably wont help much if your coding with Java. Though if you do wanna take aspects of it i dont mind.
The non-hostility just comes from there being no "real" markets that are added to the economy, so nex isnt making it do anything.
I'm not familiar with Kotlin so I was curious as to what the advantages of using it over Java is. Especially since the intellij decompiler seems to do a decent job of converting kotlin into java code. Also since some mods seem to use a little bit of Kotlin on the side even if the main source is in Java.
Kotlin is just a lot more convenient of a language than Java, especialy since we are still limited to writing for Java7 (Though this is about to change whenever alex releases the next update).
Its just a great language to use especialy when you do have to do lots of coding in the end.
Theres two reasons some mods only have small snippets of code in Kotlin:
1. The author learned java first, then got interested in kotlin, and resumes to use it for all later stuff
2. Kotlin only got more popular to use over the last two years, though its still mostly used by the nerds that just really like coding a lot.
