Overlap - yea probably makes sense. But this is not something like Vanilla Fishing Expanded that can stand on its own thanks to adding other fish and different ways fish are used.

This is literally just sandstorms. It fundamentally works on a so-called "SandGrid" that each map has. Odyssey implements its own SandGrid. If I just push my own SandGrid next to that for 1.6 and say "yea, but that's mine" I will almost surely get slapped with a "copying DLC-locked logic for usage when player does not own the DLC". And that goes against Workshop ToS.

The mod is pretty complex, so you can probably understand that I don't want to invest a bunch of time to update it and then have a high chance of it getting taken down.

If you are unhappy with this decision, you are in luck: The mods license allows you to freely copy and adapt this mod however you see fit. I am stopping nobody from forking the gitlab repo and updating the mod to 1.6 to take the chance.

I have never seen a mod not update due to having content that overlaps with a DLC, including a bunch that odyssey directly cloned features from. They were there first and not using any of the DLC code or assets, after all. They just disable the conflicting parts if it is active.

@Thetaprime
That's not how DLC locked content works. Read the information at the top of the workshop page. The mod would get taken down if it added sandstorms in 1.6.

I think it's only Obsolete if you have the Odyessy DLC.

I undestood it as you don't update this mod as it would be obsoete in 1.6, and it's not. Sr, understood it wrong. I'm just a little sad that I can't enjoy it enyomore, it was fun.

@Snorri
It literally says in very big letters at the top, that this mod cannot be updated to 1.6. And the mod is not tagged as 1.6 compatible for that very reason.

Idk how new sandstroms look from 1.5/oddysey as after 60 days on shrublands didn't had any... so wanted to get back to this mod as it made my koptic run more intresting, tho on 1.6 this mode broke my UI and make it hide in normal plagrtough. Sad, really liked this mod.

That'll do it. Thanks!

I hate sand. It's rough and coarse, and gets everywhere.

Just use the mod "Cherry picker" if you want to remove it without breaking the mod.

Where is the "Sand everywhere" thought debuff in the game files? I want to delete it. Thanks.

Bah, URLs don't work in comments, huh? Just check the mod description for the link.

@kingrevolucion12
I'd imagine the scenario creator from RW would allow you to make sandstorms a permanent game condition, yea.
I'm not sure what you mean with wasteland, but a map with a permanent sandstorm is probably somewhat comparable to ice sheet? Nothing to grow, difficult to do combat outside, very bunker-like playstyle.

On another note you could achieve the same by using [url]WeatherControl[/url], which allows you to crank up the likelihood for sandstorm weather and remove all the other ones, so you can have phases of clear weather to get a bit of a break from the constant sand.

Can it be made a permanent game condition?
And how does it affect everyone if it becomes a wasteland? That would be spectacular.

Awesome, thank you man. I play with a few upgraded versions of Geothermals (the advanced geothermal from VPE and solar geotherm from beyond our reach) so will let you know if there's any weird interactions!

@Sverd @CrackaJack
I've updated the logic for buildings that are "filling cells", like coolers and geothermal generators. It should now be a universal solution to all buildings that go over walls / act as walls and are able to break down.

Sounds good - will be checking this space to see what you cook up! And yeah the breakdown feature is really cool IMO, fun way to add some additional gameplay rails in the desert. Thanks for your hard work on this awesome mod, appreciate all you do to help spice up the Rim

@Sverd
I've received so much annoyed feedback about the breakdown feature that I can't help but assume everyone hates it, I'm super happy to hear that's not the case!

For coolers there is also a "smart" fix implemented in the mod, basically using the place worker to check the "red and blue" cells for the outside-ness check rather than the cooler cell itself. For geothermals that won't work, but I might be able to come up with a good solution for them rather than just flagging all of them as "immune" to breakdown from sand.
