Thank you for the original mod, and being ok with me updating it!

Awesome - added to description. Thanks for doing that

Thanks again! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3021192391

Feel free to use the artwork and everything if you'd like. Name and all I don't mind

Zaljerem - yeah man go for it , someone had told me how to do the patch method but I never got around to it. If you upload a mod let me know and I'll link it in description at the top

I like this mod, but it overwrites a lot of defs, and that is not best practice. That's likely to cause incompatibility with other mods. I would like to do a "Continued" version of this mod with patching, or I will happily provide you an update if you're still actively modding. Thanks!

Getting an error :

Collection cannot init: No textures found at path Things/Building/Ruins/DestroyedMechanoidShell

@BICKLEY can you update the tag on this one to 1.4? Since it apparently works with that version without issue...

This mod defines (or redefines) the CrateBase abstract. Is this something that is ultimately defined in Core? I ask because Rock Crates Revived also defines this abstract, but parents it under ResourceBase instead of BuildingBase and would like to reconcile both mods.

For those begging for a 1.4 update, this already works with 1.4. Just because it's red in the list doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Thirded.

Seconded.

I like this mod, would love to see it updated for 1.4 :)

Use this for deconstruction integration - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2578643012

"So to get your stuff, youd have to destroy them, while deconstructing them doesnt give the items." i noticed this too, if i destroy the stuff i get chunks, components and more steel, if i deconstruct them it takes 1 microsecond and drops 2 steel or smth

Considering you can dig steel out of mountains, the amount of steel you get from massive chunks of ancient machinery makes no sense, 1-4 steel from an ancient bed? Sure. 1-4 steel from a massive chunk of broken machine? No, you should get a lot more than that.

What are you guys talking about? the steel yield is perfect. it balances it so that you're not running from map to map stripping steel easily due to the Form Caravan trick.

Besides, from a lore sense, these are "ancient" machines. So maybe, your Pawns can only "extract" a usable amount due to weathering over the years, which actually has a lot of truth too.

Great mod btw!

While all this shit is broken and rusted, 2 steel is still a good yeld shh

1 to 4 steel is kinda low... like "this mod is practically useless" low.

I would recommend raising the steel drop to something like 10 to 18.

Yeah the yield is actually too small. Can you up it like at least 1000% more?

1 steel? wtf

I feel like almost everything yields too little but especially the large stuff

so checked the files, when used with ancient demolition, it doesnt drop your loot tables, because your mod changed the "Killed Leavings" list, while Ancient Demolition drops the "Materials" and "Additional Materials" lists. So to get your stuff, youd have to destroy them, while deconstructing them doesnt give the items.

@Timou to even use the mod this goes with (Ancients mod) you need to have Ideology don't you?

Can I use your mod without Ideology?

Sorry dudes I've been off the map - CV514 man if you want to just upload your version I'll put the link in description

I tried doing patch method way back but haven't been on computer in a while

@CV514 -- having some trouble getting your files to load in-game. I swapped out the mod's original files with yours and I've renamed the <patch> object to <defs> in each one, but the game is not loading the content. Do they need to have specific filenames?

To solve possible incompatibilities and issues with load order you should use XML PatchOperations instead of direct files override like it's done right now.

Here, I've made those for you, you should probably use them instead current mod method - not may mods alter said files, but it's inevitably a recipe for a problem if you'll leave them in current state. As a bonus, it should solve load order issues people had previously.

it is a dlc prop item

so is the warwalker thing a proper thing or just stuff

Would like this a bit more if it didn't yield components... previous poster has a good point in that the description of the items does pretty clearly say that they've all already been looted of anything valuable. I'd be happy with silver and gold being rare with no components... at least having this as a config option for the mod would be nice. Appreciate your work on this mod, thank you.

Nice addition to the game :)

wow, i've been looking for just this mod for a while now
a Huge Thank You

Why does it give so many components? Can I change what it gives?

Daemos - possibly, try loading it last ?

I run this mod but don't receive anything when I deconstruct. No errors. Could it be load order?

i would accept steel or silver or plasteel but NOT components.
main reason: the description literaly says these things are looted already, there shudn't be any components in them.

but steel, plasteel, silver could be very nice instead.

Resurrect was spider when lol. I really like that idea.

Man I have no idea lol

Weird. Loaded up RimPy and it gives an error stating that Splints and Schisms is a dependency. Moved positions and it briefly went away. May be an issue with RimPy, you think?

Nomadic, it shouldn't... There's nothing in here except Ideology core defs

Looking from RimPy, this needsd Vanilla Ideology Expanded: Splints and Schisms. Why?

Yeah I'm rewriting the mod as a patch instead of the actual defs

It works as of now, but Tynan will probably mess with the defs again. Which I didn't expect in the first place

The error I'm getting that may be the same as the others. I will attempt a resub also.

Well I can't replicate it because it was on an now deleted old save and for some reason, it only happened there. I guess Steam didn't push the update automatically on it but I can safely say that resubbing fixes the issue

What is the error log?

I resubbed the mod but the bug is still happening. Is there a load order I'm supposed to put the mod in?

Re-Sub to mod, steam auto update not updating
