---------------------
Configurable Vanilla+
---------------------

Notice:
!!! Complete rewrite in V2, the config file format has changed !!!

Version:
2.4

Changelog:
2.4
- Added warfare 2 reactors
2.3
- First attempt at preserving user-added comments
2.2
- Simplified code somewhat
- Removed the extra printing to the log. It wasn't nearly as useful as I'd hoped.
2.1
- Fixed printing excessive empty lines to log file
2.0
- Dedicated Server Support!
-- The script will now synchronize from server to client
-- instead of each client having their own config.
- Added mod support for 'High Tech Solar Arrays' (2x,3x,4x)
- Added mod support for 'MA Stackable Wind Turbines'

Description:
This mod will allow you to configure the Radius, Range, Etc of:
Welders, Grinders, Drills, Ore Detectors, Batteries,
Solar Panels, Hydrogen Engines, Wind Turbines, and Reactors;
via a configuration file located in your 'Savegame/Storage' folder

Simple edit this file (it is created the first time you launch your world with the mod active)
and then reload the save to see its effects.

Enjoy!


Notes:
You do not need to subscribe to my other Vanilla+ mods for this to work, If there is sufficient adoption of this mod, i'll deprecate the old xml based ones and call it cake : )

Do not edit the config file with windows notepad (try notepad+, editpad, wordpad, etc). Notepad does not properly save line endings correctly, and will most likely cause corruption of the file (as far as SE's ini parser is concerned)

The config file is located somewhere around;
%AppData%/SpaceEngineers/Saves/<SteamID>/<SaveGameID>/Storage/2970200455.sbm_VanillaPlus/VanillaPlus2.ini

Read the comments, I don't and won't touch energy density.

How to increase the power of a hydrogen engine? It is not in the file

The kydrogen engine is just horrible and that's why I thought of using this mod. Anyone had a good setting for the hydrogen engine that feels more balanced? (possibly the H2O2 generator as well). Not looking to overpower it, just make it useable! :)

So I ran Steam as admin, and played my save some more, and now it's been generated. Thanks for the assistance!

Might sound dumb, but how do I run the game as administrator if I play through Steam? Tried checking the install location for an exe, but couldn't see one.

@KingSnitch

As far as a config not appearing in the world storage folder, all i can think of is a permissions issue. Please try running the server/game as administrator, loading->saving a world, and checking the folder once more. I can't think of any other reason for it not showing up, unless some part of the world saving process is failing, and you would have bigger issues at that point.

I'll ask around my group if anyone has had any trouble lately. I'm sorry, I can't reproduce locally.



Note:
"%AppData%" should resolve to "C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\". if you launch the command prompt (%windir%\system32\cmd.exe) and type "Set" then press {enter/return} you will see a list of all currently defined environment variables for your user/system.

So I went to go configure the file, and I couldn't find it. I read comments a few pages back, and saw some others had the issue, but never responded on if they fixed it. I checked the log, and there was no error for VanillaPlus, just "loading" and "complete".

My path is a bit different though, not sure if that might cause issues. It's "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\76561198009811188\Dec2024\Storage". Basically, I have to select Roaming after Appdata.

The only options I have in the Storage folder are Nanite Construction, Modular Encounters, and Progression Framework.

Also, this is on an offline server.

I'm on Windows 11 if that changes anything.

Probably? I've never touched the *new* marketplace notepad, but any application (including the original notepad.exe) that mangles line endings will cause issues with ini parsing.

Hello, I just wanted to ask whether the Notepad comment is still relevant. I have edited INIs for Space Engineers and other games plenty of times before with regular old Notepad, is there something wrong with the mod since it doesn't work or is it outdated information and it now works properly?
