this still works for 3.13?

Is it a problem to switch to the new mod (Kurogane 2.0) during a running game (with an empire that uses the shipset)?

@ALL

KUROGANE 2.0 is live now!

This mod goes off-line in a few days! Please subscribe to KUROGANE 2.0 !

YES

any chance this still works for 3.12?

All ship mods will work with it. Whether or not it contains models for the added shipsets is another question

Does this work with NSC 3?

Thank you for the fast reply!

@skylingale
Yes you can

Can I still use this if I don't plan on having NSC in my modlist?

I understand. Thank you anyway.

@paulo
This should work rn but I can't update do to technical difficulties

Any chance of you updating this mod for the most recent build?

there used to be a mod for kurogane, called Kurogane without the extras, Maybe you can take than one over too.

@paulo

No fear. None of the ships are OP. The set changes the GFX of models only. It's like Vanilla just much better GFX.
The sections are just optional and can't be used by the AI.

Then I think I won't use this shipset. I don't want any overpowered ships in my game.

I didnt post the link in here because this is your mod and will not without permission from you. Thats why I would send you a PM with the link if you are interested

Yes, for example there is a corvette that has more systems than a typical corvette. Those are not vanilla and provide an advantage especially to human player in multi-player.

Kurogane is my favorite ship set - above all others!

When I play multiplayer I edit the set so that its vanilla Only, No extra layouts. After a simple edit The shipset ends up to have the exact same sections as vanilla. No differences.

If you are interested in the info I can link it to you In a steam PM. I have the instructions connected to the collection I manage in Steam for Stellaris.

I do it for "Kurogane Expanded (New)".

I also do it "Kurosections Expanded Stellaris 3.10.*" Shipset for those that only want the NSC3 sections and not the extra ones in the shipset

@Rage000

Now I'm a bit confused. :-) Which ships do you mean that are not Vanilla and are OP?

Do you mean the ship-sections that are part of the mod and have a different layout than the vanilla sections?

Im not explaining very well apparently. You dont use NSC3. However there are the extra ships in kurogane that are Not NSC3 ships that are OP against vanilla ship sets and still show up. This is why I edit the ship set to make kurogane exactly like vanilla.

@paulo

Perfect. You won't even recon the NSC ships as they will only be displayed when NSC is installed. In short you are are safe from them. :-)

I LIKE the vanilla ships! I don't need "flagships", "battlecruisers" and/or "assautl carriers" . The vanilla ships are more than enough to me.

This would make kurogane have the same ships as vanilla. Today - you will have the extra ship designs even in vanilla, this has nothing to do with NSC3 ship classes.

I hate using NSC. So, no thank you. All I wanted was to know why in hell the frigate isn't of the same size than the corvette and why both the citadel and the habitat look so small in the Ship Viewer.

@paulo you will still have the additional ship designs from kurogane in vanilla. Unless you edit the files to remove them. i have the instructions if you need them

Huh... It's normal for the frigate to look smaller than the corvette in the Ship Viewer? Also, both the Citadel and the Habitat look rather small in the viewer.

Thanks for clarifying the situation to me.

@paulo

You don't need NSC to use the shipset. Kurogane is compatible with NSC but NSC is not required to use it.

Is there a version of this mod without the need of using that blasted NSC2?

@Wilhelm Bloodworth

It works with Stellaris 3.10.*.

Is this updated for the new format?

yeah thats what I did. I modified it so that it can be used in a Multiplayer or solo, which is a majority of what I play anyway

@Rage000

First of all glad to hear that it works.

Sorry I can't do anything about the MP settings. The only option for MP is to start the game without KSE.

The Kurogane ship-set has some sections that are not standard as well.

The only way to disable them for MP is to open the mod; go to common\section_templates and to disable the sections there.

and yes it works great! No Problems ! I just do not want to have the kurogane sections for multiplayer.

making it so that the special custom ship sections are not available

@Rage000

Messing with it? What exactly do you mean? I don't have any problems om my side with it.

This is my favorite shipset. I edited both Kurogane and KSE to remove all the extra sections outside of NSC3 and vanilla. I wish there was a version that did not have the special sections that worked with nsc3 without me messing with it.

@Rage000

Pretty easy. It's fix for Kuro I've included into KSE.

works in NSC3 too.. why I have no idea. Im not an expert modder.

Strange thing I was doing some experimenting:
From "Kurosections Expanded Stellaris 3.10.*" I copied "kse_defense_stations_vanilla.txt" and pasted it into the "section_templates" folder of "Kurogane Expanded (New)" and it seems to have fixed it the hanger defense platform graphic....

Now why... I dont know. This was in vanilla without any mods other than "Kurogane Expanded (New)"

Im going to test it with NSC3 now.

@Rage000
This is something I know but can't find where to fix it for a while

The Hanger Station Section shows a vanilla model on defense platform after this last update,
this happens whether using NSC3 or vanilla Stellaris.

Update Waiting room

Has anyone else noticed that the Frigate looks especially tiny when using this with a Downscaled Compatibiliity Patch? I've been utilising this patch https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2395725105

emm upate?

Nice, thanks for taking the time to keep this going.

@I will deal with NSC3 soon

NSC 8 patch please T.T

feel so lost not having this shipset as my main but can't skip nsc3

NSC3 is coming out tomorrow, do you have a guess when you'll have this mod updated for it? Love this mod and appreciate you taking your time to keep it alive.
