Duly noted. Thanks for the quick response!

@Malhavoc no

Are these various tweaks adjustable in Mod Options? Really love most of them, but a few I'd prefer to opt out of.

@Mac oversight on my end I do need to remake some of the patches so I'll do add that to the list of changes when I get started on that

Thank you for going through the effort of making every patch its own little XML file, makes it so much easier to pick and choose. On another note, I did find at least one patch in the files that isn't listed in the List of Changes (padded armor on skin layer), but it is probably a PITA to log all this shit so I don't blame you.

@Anta'el Feir it's not a joke, it just swaps the feline ears that come with ve highmates with the vanilla cat ears so that retexture mods work fine

I don't understand the joke with the latest update. It added cat ears to everyone. I have a respectable colony of flesh sculpting vampires that inspire fear and awe, and now they just look ridiculous.

Was just a suggestion smh :|

@Maple38 a shame that won't happen then, huh

Oh, it'd be nice if it was lol

@Maple38 no

Hey is this mod configurable?

I wanted to like it for the balance choices, but the many aesthetic choices it forces on me are a bit too much to get over.

If you ever decide to spin the shield core into it's own thing that would be great.

@Blueo lol

@batafritada
You can always just delete the patches included that you don't like. Open the mods folder, then open the "Patches" folder,find the name of the mod being patched "Neat Storage" and delete the "Debloatening" text file

Gonna go ahead and say, no clue if that works but I assume it would. But also know, I think if Turkler updates the mod, you're gonna have to repeat the above method (that is, if it even works but it should I mean how's it gonna read something if it's gone yk)

yea too bad there's not a toggle for sections batafritada

Now, the reason why I am writing this manifest is because I really don't wanna to have to choose between the tweaks and the storage. Like, come on lad, if something is bloat we have Cherry Picker for that.
Failure to comply will result in me writing 7 paragraphs to your War Queen telling her why she should break up with you.

Hey mate, I love your mod but I really disapprove the changes to Neat Storage.
The moment a player chose to download a mod they are very aware of what's coming with the mod. That's why I, avoid downloading mods that add too much and I rather use mods that have specifically what I want. Yours is a exception.
Even tho I don't agree with all the tweaks most of them are good and change the game for better.

Now, the problem with Neat Storage is not with the tweaks itself, I like what you've done with the merging. But the moment you straight up remove an option it feels like a huge L. For example, not only the sudden removal messed with one of my saves, I've found later that I was unable to build the storage options I wanted to. The weapons' rack for example, which was one of the storage options I like to use, it's just unavailable now.

@catharsis that does sound quite sensible, I'll see what I can do

Would you consider adding a tweak for when VFE: Classical is loaded, it changes the building cost of the paved tile and concrete tile to use concrete blocks from that mod instead of steel?

@Victor yeah and it's your problem lol

The problem is changing a modlist with hundreds of mods, and some mods not being flagged as incompatible after I removed the DLCs, and my game crashing without me knowing why.

@Victor if you download a mod that explicitly requires some dlc and then launching your game without said dlc then that's not my problem

This mod is missing the required mods tag in the About.xml, and it crashes the game if you remove the DLCs. Took me a long time to find out, please add the lines in the About file, thanks.

@Nettle no worries

@nettle the malfunction was with my brain, thank you for your time.

@turkler Huh. Let me check things out on my end. Will report back.

@Nettle I just checked and no, they're not buildable. might be a mod conflict? I can't replicate the issue with the bare mimum of mods

@Nettle I'll take a look, thanks for the report

Hey chief,

Just a heads up - it looks like the tilable planter box is still build-able, unlike it's normal, un-tilable counterpart.

Oh well. Local copy it is then.

@Matsay no and no

Hey! Could you add a check for Too Many Mods before the patches you borrowed from them? They end up being applied twice leading to duplicate fields in the xml. Also, would you be open to create a cherry picker list (as TMM does) rather than rather than straight removing stuff with patchOperationRemove? This would avoid creating further errors if another mod tries to patch a def you already erased.

Awesome, you're a hero lol

I also patched rm2 mechs while I was at it

@chunkylord2 done

@chunkylord2 will do

I love this mod but would you be able to patch in the shield core requirements to gestate the knight/advance knight that have shields in VFE-M?

@Computica one set of them, yes. otherwise you have two duplicate sets of cell walls

I think you removed the Cell Doors and walls From VFE Architect if ReBuild: Doors and Corners is used which a lot of mods depend on.

@SaveliyV3 no

Why does this mod have the Biotech dependency? Will it work if I don't have Biotech?

@Turkwise ok 👍

I liked the wall mounted temperature appliances, the normal ones are ugly as hell.

Okay, I'll let them know then. Thank you for taking a look!

@Zer0_Requiem took a look, fixing it would require a change on their end. nothing I can do unfortunately

Do you know if you could make this mod compatible with https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3241427647 ? As the feature that removes the backstory requirement for the Natural Meditation type doesn't work when used with your mod and I'm not sure why.

@Paradox yay

Dunno how I never saw this before, I like the sound of these tweaks. Shield Core stuff especially

they're gone precisely because of that - they're way too cheap with little to no downsides. they're redundant with vfe architect so if you have both mods then they're just removed. as always, if there's a change you don't like, you're free to make a local copy for personal use
