Yeah i feel like this isn't working for me now :( Just had a raid over my cap....

This doesn't seem to be working for my game anymore, are there any known mod conflicts that could be messing it up? Love the mod! Makes the game fun for me :)

@Inquisition Time! u can gradually increase the cap and see what works for you. its been working for me so far.

Can it prevent my game from freezing trying to create something to throw against my many million wealth colony?

tyvm

yes that is correct.

So.....higher number means harder? Lower lower? Or....

I thought I tested it myself and found that it was working, I could be misremembering though, i'll look into it.

I have tried, and it doesn't work. And i found someone said "I tested it, it doesn't raise threat point cap beyond 10k, because cap is hard-limited by slider, not the re-writable slot. Slider, on it's side, is limited to 10k only" in last year.

You can type in a cap up to 999999.

Can you unlock the 10000 points limit? plz

@Goat Boy you can use the mod Raid and Event Manager. It lets you control all raid types, including separate toggles for the different drop pod raid types.

Thank you for this! If you ever choose to expand on this, I think a checkbox for turning air drop pod raids on/off independently of the raid difficult cap would be SO awesome.

I've looked high and low and can't find any raid mods that have an option specifically for keeping pigmen from crashing through the ceiling of my base- taking a child or two with them in the process. I don't mind the size of raids I'm getting in general, or even the frequency- I just hate getting unpreventable drop-in raids that do catastrophic base damage.

Thank you for this mod!

Yes those should also be limited.

That's cool. Could it be that the difficulty of quests like Bandit Camp can also have an effect?

@The Blind One, pretty sure you should only be getting solo'd raided at the very start which is a scripted 'tutorial' raid, also if you want realism you're playing the wrong game.

Ya know what would be a neat additional feature?

A minimum threat cap as well

Too often I'm starting a new game and I find that I get attacked by a lone raider who has absolutely zero % chance of winning yet still tries to attack me anyway. A minimum threat point slider would prevent ridiculous raids from occuring that just feel unrealistic to me.

Just an idea I hope you will consider.

Much love <3

OMFG Thank you so much for this!!!!!

Thank you, now my colony won't have to deal with 100 Pig Men lagging my game and destroying my poorly defended base.

@gav_sobaken, I'll look into it sometime, I only make mods for myself primarily, I haven't really looked into it before because it's not a feature I would use personally. I'm not after subscribers. Wall Light gives me more subscribers than I ever imagined and it's been a never ending source of headaches for me because of it.

If I were to implement something like that I'd probably add a checkbox that when enabled makes the slider able to go up to like 1,000,000 or something.

Slider, on it's own, should rewrite the game's cap as final value, and should not be affected or patched by any other mod. I'm not entirely sure, but there are mods like Threat scale changer etc.
Your mod should, possibly, do it all, to be a swiss-knife-mod for threat points all-in-one.

I tested it, it doesn't raise threat point cap beyond 10k, because cap is hard-limited by slider, not the re-writable slot. Slider, on it's side, is limited to 10k only.
The strong suggestion for author: please consider designing slider to 25-30k scale.
Thus, it will not only follow the needs of low-scale seekers, but also versa.
Literally, this will double followers of your mod.

Blitzred this is the exact mod you're looking for

Hey Blitzred, there is a mod for you :D "V.O.I.D." https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2883208829

I feel exactly the same way.

This works. I usually don't like to over deploy a lot of weapons to defend my village, because I don't like it, but with the inevitable growth of wealth, sometimes my village can't withstand too many enemies in the late game.
Of course, so did my computer hardware.
Apparently this mod gives players like me an opportunity to play the games they want to play.

I think it would work, since this mod overwrites the cap, never tested it though.

Is it possible to use this mod to raise the threat cap beyond the normal 10k cap in base game?

Sorry I know it's kind of the opposite of what you made mod for, looking for a way to upscale challenge later game

You're welcome, I always thought the vanilla threat point system was the worst part of the game. I think a better system would be for the threat points to only be based on how well you handled the last raid, instead of some arbitrary "wealth" calculation. Maybe something I'll look into in the future.

@Murmur I see, that suddenly makes more sense to me.

Thank you very much for your help, and restoring part of my sanity in attempting to grow a tech-locked tribal colony out of stone age without getting crushed within mere minutes. I intend to increase it back to max, but *gradually*, whenever *I* decide it's time for my pawns to die, or not. The mod is back to "keeper must-have" status for me.

The uncapped value means what the value was before the cap is applied, hence "uncapped".

The mod unfortunately doesn't seem [i.ibb.co] to work for me.

Would my mod list be of help ? I would post it, but it's quite long (but fairly bug free), so I think some educated detective work is in order, at least at first. Anything that could explain the threat cap gets bypassed ? Because of the Vanilla Expanded mods or other custom raid generators ? Or just some mistake I'm doing in using the mod ?

Your assistance would be appreciated.

Is it possible to make a mod to see raid points in real time even while not being attacked? Just current raid points counter that will be applied if raid attacks. So you can notice what factors affect raid points, not dealing with formulas.

When you get a raid, the uncapped value should be shown in the menu so you can set the cap to the uncapped value, not sure if that's what you mean.

Is there a way to reset the threat point cap?

Iam with you, sometimes rimworld wants to force you to play a certain way and will litterally take control away from you. Another great mod for that issue is "no forced slowdown"
It saves a ton nerves

All good thanks, this is great as well I had to use the slider so it was perfect.

I have no idea

whats the other mod that does something similar to this, with instead of wealth its colonist based, or time based.

Yes.

Since I removed it the raids are much smaller. Shure it is save to add and remove?

This brings me great joy

It's a long shot but try moving this to the bottom of your load order and try again.

this mod does not work for me im assuming its a mod conflict some were but i have to many mods to test

Or maybe not even the threat level, but the the wealth points from colonists themselves. Something like that.

A question (a request, even) to the author, Murmur:

I will literally pay you $5 if you can code a thingy that will stop counting colonist points towards threat level. I think the baseline amounts of points is 42, and then it grows from there. If you can somehow cap it at 42 or make it not count colonist points towards threat level, those $5 are yours.

Sorry, can't make it $50, I'm fucking poor.

Yeah it would seem so, I don't expect you to fix it just thought I would let you know lol.

I'm pretty sure the expanded mechanoids do not use the vanilla threat point system, I seem to remember them having their own mechanics for raid sizes.

After a lot of play testing it may seem its incompatible with "vanilla factions expanded: mechanoids". It isn't capping those raids at all from what it looks like. It very well could have been a mission I accepted (I have a mission that states will send mechanoids at 2x the size) but I have my threat capped at 1000 and I kid you not, 30 mechs dropped on my map and leveled the whole area in a matter of seconds. Not game breaking but definitely unexpected.
