thanks that fixed it had a bit more of an issue after that but nothing a fresh install & unsub resub to my collection didn't fix, no clue why this dlc and version update cause so many mod errors

@Torkkar It seems that steam didn't download you mod updates. You can try resubscribing or verifying file integrity.
Torkkar Jul 15 @ 5:11am 
in game mod selection page both this and hugs lib state the mods only upto 1.5 is there a fix for this?
Hammer Goblin Jul 14 @ 7:18pm 
Bonfire lit @ update.

@Nam can you seriously avoid Zzt? I don't think I have this mod on my server, and I've had Zzt not happen due to my over-use of hiddens.

They do take weapon-fire damage.
virtual young hacker  [author] Jul 14 @ 1:31pm 
Updated to 1.6
Nam Jul 14 @ 12:13pm 
did you know that if you just built with hidden cable zzt events cant happen?
Hammer Goblin Jul 13 @ 12:32pm 
Scratch that-- dude JUST released 1.6 of his mod lol
Hammer Goblin Jul 13 @ 11:42am 
There is someone who created a 1.6 version of HugsLib.

I have a love hate relationship with this community because of this. We never know if a mod is dead unless someone says so, because folks can just be taking their sweet time, or are on vacation Lol.
virtual young hacker  [author] Jul 6 @ 5:23am 
Will update after HugsLib gets updated.
Travioli Jul 4 @ 12:43pm 
1.6?
TheGothEmperex Aug 7, 2024 @ 6:57pm 
I'm having the same situation as Grimiskitty.
Johnathon Chinhead May 27, 2024 @ 2:20pm 
have an issue where a bright red square flashes after i got this mod
Grimiskitty Mar 8, 2024 @ 5:09pm 
I'm still having solar flares and Zzzt events (not caused by rain) I have no idea whats going on because no errors pop up for me. I even looked at the mod options and its all good.
harrydubois Jan 18, 2024 @ 3:22am 
Zzzt events still happen...
Angus Beef Dec 11, 2022 @ 10:56am 
Incompatible with Fluffy's Breakdowns, unless you go into the mod settings of this mod, and disable random breakdowns.
Nyko Nov 29, 2022 @ 8:47am 
@The_Hob did you find the solution for the mods not working? if so can you let me know so I can also try and fix it, thanks!
The_Hob Oct 27, 2022 @ 6:52am 
I haven't narrowed down if another mod on my list has somehow re-enabled it, but it seems that solar flair events are still happening. In 1.3 with near the same mods this was not case, but I'll try to post here if I find a culprit.
Katini Oct 26, 2022 @ 4:15pm 
dealing with random fires or having to build around preventing them when wiring electricity is tedious and annoying. Thanks for this!
Monsieur Bambi Oct 26, 2022 @ 10:27am 
I still get short circuits, got a battery bank under a mountain, its indoors and it just went off
TheKaiser Oct 25, 2022 @ 5:18pm 
thank you.
virtual young hacker  [author] Oct 22, 2022 @ 7:55am 
It should work in 1.4
submeg Oct 22, 2022 @ 12:45am 
Hi all, does anyone know if this is working in 1.4?
Gravius Oct 21, 2022 @ 9:48pm 
Will there be a 1.4 version?
Chummy Oct 16, 2022 @ 11:53am 
holy hell thank you for this, I hate having to make a new settlement just to look for components and having my freezer lose all of its meat.
virtual young hacker  [author] Aug 10, 2022 @ 11:51am 
@Biodeamon Yes, you can do that in mod options
Bio[redacted] Aug 10, 2022 @ 8:03am 
solar flares are okay and realistic. any way to re enable them?
virtual young hacker  [author] Jan 10, 2022 @ 10:28am 
@Goldenspirit please make sure you've got a roof over all of your electric devices (this mod only disables random short circuits, they might still appear if you don't protect things like batteries from rain). It's also possible that a different mod that you've got enabled changes probability of this event.
Goldenspirit Jan 10, 2022 @ 8:58am 
I still seem to be getting random zzzt.. events, although i HAVE them disabled
Ogam Oct 18, 2021 @ 2:43am 
@Seven Fates Vanilla Events Expanded overrides this mod`s flare chance
virtual young hacker  [author] Sep 7, 2021 @ 9:29am 
@Seven Fates This mod changes chance of solar flares to 0 so it's not possible unless you have a different mod that overrides that.
Seven Fates Sep 6, 2021 @ 5:07pm 
Solar flare still seems to occur, albeit with much less frequency.
Hammerlord Aug 24, 2021 @ 4:47pm 
Thanks.
virtual young hacker  [author] Aug 24, 2021 @ 2:39pm 
@Yippo the Clown I'm not aware of any such way. You might want to look at "Fluffy Breakdowns" mod if don't want to completely remove breakdowns.
virtual young hacker  [author] Aug 24, 2021 @ 2:35pm 
@Hammerlord You can change mod settings by going to Options -> Mod Settings (green button in up right corner). You should have a list of all mods that have settings there.
Hammerlord Aug 23, 2021 @ 6:20pm 
I can't find the option to alter the mod's settings. I'm using the mod manager by "Fluffy". Do I need to alter a text file or something instead? I'm fine with random explosions for tension but hate the continuous component drain that only gets worse the more electronics you have.
Corbloc Aug 10, 2021 @ 8:42am 
just what i was looking for
turkler Aug 5, 2021 @ 1:43pm 
thanks for the great mod
Yippo the Clown Jul 31, 2021 @ 3:54am 
@virtual young hacker - Thanks for this - is there any way to add a setting to customise the rate of random breakdowns - e.g. set them to happen at 20% frequency instead of removing them altogether? Apologies that I'm asking a random stranger to do stuff for me ^^;
nhatanh0475 Jul 25, 2021 @ 8:46pm 
@virtual young hacker
I didn't even know this mods have setting @@
Thanks for you help. Hope Tynan would allow an option to reorder the mod setting. It's very hard to find setting since they didn't follow any order.
virtual young hacker  [author] Jul 25, 2021 @ 7:38am 
@nhatanh0475 Are you sure you enabled this mod and have "No Random Breakdowns" enabled in mod settings? If you changed mod settings did you restart the game afterwards?
nhatanh0475 Jul 25, 2021 @ 7:23am 
Is it me or some how Electronics still breakdown?
Harry Peters Jul 21, 2021 @ 11:53am 
Thank you for the quick update! I didn't want to start up Ideology until I could avoid those tedious breakdowns.
virtual young hacker  [author] Mar 2, 2020 @ 12:02pm 
@nhatanh0475 Sorry, but I don't know about a way to do that.
nhatanh0475 Mar 2, 2020 @ 8:29am 
@Virtual young good hacker
Can you update and add it too the research tree please :3 We can't have those fancy (op) tech without research it first :3
virtual young hacker  [author] Mar 1, 2020 @ 6:08am 
@theorytard It was a HugsLib bug fixed in version 7.0.3
Divine Lucubration Feb 29, 2020 @ 4:21pm 
Thank you. It was driving me nuts, not having this mod.
Scud Feb 29, 2020 @ 5:16am 
WORKING GOOD =) no errors.
virtual young hacker  [author] Feb 29, 2020 @ 3:21am 
@theorytard Have you tired resubscribing?
theorytard Feb 28, 2020 @ 3:36pm 
for me its listed as unnamed mod in the options
Kalarima Feb 28, 2020 @ 11:33am 
Yup works fine now. Thank you :)
