yo how goes the mod?

That's easier said than done, and would require a lot more work than I am able to put into the project right now if it is even possible, you can't just flip a switch and give a part invulnerability because there's no provision for it in the game. Durability is related to the stats HP, Hardness and armour, and there's no way to alter them in battle other than by using another module which will function until it runs out of coal/gets destroyed, or by a hero ability.

Tldr, there's no invulnerability function, no way to restrict it to the foundation if there was, and no way to time limit bonuses on top of that.

I tried at one point making foundations lighter but that didn't actually solve the issue as most of the weight comes from armour, and it meant lighter forts hovered off the ground due to track physics.

well, i dont know how to code so i cant help either. as for the foundation problem, i have semi fixed this by getting a energy shields mod and using them to tank damage for the foundation. a potential fix is to give the foundation immunity to damage for the frist 3 or so seconds of the battle.

Unfortunately due to how the game works there's not much I can do about the foundation. the problem is related to how landships work in the main, because the foundations are basically a tracks module without tracks. making them more durable doesn't really help. I've tried a lot of solutions but they didn't work, so the best I can suggest is to try and clear trees before attacking and lighten your forts.

As for the omega, i'm afraid that's probably not happening. I don't have anyone helping me with the mod at the moment, and am too unwell to do all the work myself. I do have an Orion semi ready but that's about it, and it's not really going anywhere right now.

is it possible to make the fort foundations immune to fall damage? those things are so ridiculousley heavy and the game keeps trying to place them on trees, resulting in forts digging themselves into the ground and dying the moment the battle starts. (also: omega when?)

No problem lol, I hope you are enjoying your time with the mod by the way.

i get redconica and redcon mixed up srry

Redconica the rusted warfare mod? That mod is also based on Redcon the game. If you want to see what these two mods are based on search REDCON on steam.

this game always reminded me of redconica with the weapons

wilco

very cool great job

aight, i wish you good luck my man

May the krux be victorious

That would be easy to do, but would bloat the module list out a lot, which I don't really want to do because it's already pretty large. I could make a submod that adds versions like that, but that would be a bit more work and I don't really have the energy for it right now. I'll have a think about it and see what I can figure out, but for the moment i'm afraid it's probably going to stay mainly the same as it is,

i use variants aswell (the belligerent ones are fucking awesome) however it is pretty hard to recreate fortress from redcon because of all the limits which makes it difficult. there could be like Factory variants which have no build area limits but have lesser stats maybe? idk much about modding or coding

The problem is that I have to try and strike a balance between weapons reflecting what they are in REDCON and also being balanced in airships, and I don't want to do that by making the guns just not very powerful. I also have to respect the design conventions of Airships, for things such as turrets having upward no build areas, I've already tried to make them as small as I can, and I think making them smaller or removing them would make them too much of a straight upgrade from the basegame weapons.

However, do you know about variants? If you press N while holding weapons in the editor several base modules have different variants, and I've made a lot for this mod. You should check out the Solaris and Archon variants in particular if you want front facing weapons.

i understand for hydras and alastors but the rest are just really hard to fit in

i wanna recreate traditional fortresses but they look ugly because like a solaris will be jutting out and all the basilisks look so weird

I don't plan to for most of them no, it's part of the balancing of the parts. I'm making the ammo factory easier to access in the next update though. Which guns are you particularly having trouble with?

Do you plan to remove the limits for the artillery guns? its incredibly difficult to make fortress because of the up facing limit thingy, idk what to call it but it prevents anything from being placed above it

Ah i apologize fellow Rebel, We must stop that Madman and end this war, to turn our cannons and weapons into plowshares, to bring about Peace!

If you think I root for the State you are mistaken lol who would work for Grimm

Perfect. more equipment for the rebellion to use against you, HAHAHA

Two new small modules will be released soon, with a third possibly on the way soon.

Ah, Strike Commander Backgammon, how are you fellow friend, or should i say, STATE ENEMY, yes indeed, this is Krux strike commander chuckles speaking, i wish you good luck with your recovery so i may watch you futilely try to capture anymore Krux territory, LONG LIVE THE KRUX REBELLION

Thanks! Hope you enjoy the mod!

Thank you for responding and i will look into it to stop my abominations to return to dark pit of hell whenever spawned.Anyways have a good recovery

Unfortunately this is a problem with the game, I've done everything I can to mitigate this issue but currently there's no real fix I can do, however I can reccomend sending in a 'construction landship' beforehand to destroy all the trees and bushes on your side of the map, then send in your forts. If they don't start over trees or bushes, it's far less likely they will suffer this problem.

Sorry I can't offer anything more helpful, but the problem lies with how the game deploys landships, and the softness of soil blocks. I've looked into increasing the soil block hardness but that causes other problems (Namely regular tracked landships explode if they try and go up a slope).

Hello another thing when i place extreamily heavy ship even tough i placed 2 large foundations at the bottom (so i have 50% of the total supported weight) they sink in the terrain and making them explode. I think this is because when they spawn floating and after starting the battle gravity destroys them. Do you have any Idea if this is mod's fault or am I missing something?

That's ok man I don't mind, and thanks.

Also, I hope you enjoy your time with the mod!

ah, sorry about that, wasn't aware you were just taking a break, my bad for not reading the comments enough, good luck with your health issues

It's not been abandoned, however as I have said below, I currently can't work on it due to health issues and there's currently nobody with the requisite skills who are able to help me. Clandestine ops was the last module I added, so some functionality is missing from it, but everything else works as far as I know. (The tartarus and talos are kinda fucked but that's due to a game limitation meaning mortars don't really work.)

If I recover sufficiently I will continue working on the mod, but currently i'm not in a position to, however it's certainly not abandoned.

love the idea behind the mod, but it seems that its been abandoned, I notice a few of the modules just don't work, like the clandestine operations module.

excellent! Hope you enjoy it.

Absolutely awesome. I actually got this game to satisfy my redcon itch so this mod is perfect

Redcon actually got a small update recently, so maybe you will want to check that out. Also hope you enjoy the mod!

Holy hells, I haven't seen Redcon in the wild in a while now. I hope development on this mod goes well, and I hope ye get the help you need.

Thanks! hope you enjoy the mod.

Very cool! Always nice to play around with extra gadgets. Glad to see modders still into this gem of a game.

unfortunately there's no way you can guarantee it, but his recruitment triggers are from researching the redcon/state techs

How do you get the strike commander?

Very good, Mental health is important, if ever you are working and feel unwell, take a break, no matter how long. I hope for, not mod progress but that you feel and do well. All Salute the strength of Strike Commander Backgammon. HORAH

Still ill i'm afraid so no modding recently but I'm reasonably well. Thanks for asking!

How are you doing? just checking in on you

Glad to hear you like it! I've been trying to work on updating the mod to finish it finally but work is slow, so I'm glad people enjoy what's there!

this mod got me back into that game. I own that game now.

Good to know! Glad it doesn't seem to be causing issues.

It seems like it was actually another mod that was causing problems, wasn't conflicting I think so everything is fine now. Will report if I find anymore tho

I don't use cataclysm so can't be that. Later today I'll try to see what mods might be the problem and get back to you. But glad to hear your doing ok! Hope you feel better and energized soon backgammon

good to your doing well Strike Commander Backgammon
Take all the time you need, mod making isnt easy and is pretty tiring
Hope you do well!

I'm doing mainly ok! Just very tired most of the time so unable to work on my mods at the mo, I do intend to come back to them when I am able though.
As for those issues... odd. I haven't experienced them before so I can only think it is as you have supposed and is due to some weird interaction with another mod, I know someone said they had problems with cataclystic expansion being incompatible, are you using that?
