Would it be possible to change how Apocalypse and Ultima Lumis work? As Apocalypse Lumis causes my game to slow down to ~5 tps and Ultima Lumis takes 16 GB of ram causes an out of memory error and then crashes.

Hello, This is not a complain but just a notice maybe one of my other mods makes it so that Yield of resources scales with work efficiency because the moment I have a pawn unlock and cast 'Aeterna Luminis' any crop they harvest gives thousands of it at once and mining any resource also gives thousands. With a node of Compacted Steel (which they mine within half a game hour) the colony gets almost a million steel.
Just to test I made a sample colony and within 3 weeks of meditating my psycaster basically became a demi-god who can ignore the law of conservation of mass.

Can you change enlighten so that I don't have to draft to use it?

@YvngPope Hi yes they can spawn with it.

Can the AI spawn with these too? Love your work btw

Thank you!

Fixed the values

You can get a look at the archon race change https://github.com/Vanilla-Expanded/VanillaRacesExpanded-Archon/commit/48b45d292c3ce59abf5f1a42ea24242eebc0a938

So fast!

@Dibolic wasn't aware of the values getting reversed, i'll fix it real quick, thanks for letting me know

Update: Fixed latest issue with VEF removing attack speed stats

VE Framework just removed VEF_MeleeAttackSpeedFactor and VEF_RangeAttackSpeedFactor to favor Core game MeleeCooldownFactor and MeleeCooldownFactor (values are inversed)

May I suggest two diffrent psycaster trees?

1. Greed, they can create money in some way and become more powerful the more they hoard, they can have some other powers based on being greedy and being a god of gold
(I wish to roleplay as a worshiper of a god of greed who rewards resources for worship and colonists/enemies)

2. The Warped, they corrupt the land with their psychic aura and terraform the planet into shrouded world for more detail on how I think it should work is that the pawn will create a purple fog around them that grows as the more powerful the warped gets, the aura buffs colonist and debuffs enemies whilst also turning the ground into a corrupted landscape that slows movement.
(inspired by warhammer, stellaris's psionic shroud, minecraft thaumcraft's warp, and terraria's corruption)

@Starlight-Ellie Empath does that, it's in base VPE

I don't know what kind of path would fit in, so I just comment it here. I was thinking about a psycast that could create a psychic soothe in the map and/or block the psychic drone event.

@Tardo The Ass-Monkey I might end up asking them if I need to add more autocasting related things, the current system works fine and even allows enemies to cause the condition if they have Solar Rift unlocked, you just don't get the casting delay from it.

Update:

Added autocast to Solar Rift.

I'm not sure how they did it, but there is this mod ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3199585285 ) that adds a bunch of autocasting options to stuff. Maybe you could work something out looking at their files, or talk to them directly?

@Tardo The Ass-Monkey I'm testing autocasting on my run before uploading the update, I don't know how to use the VE system but I found an alternative way.

@Dust It's a stronger laser that destroys everything in the white circle (as long as the target uses HP, so buildings/plants/creatures/items), the errors might be tied to your hardware as I'm not getting these errors, there's a slow down for about 10 seconds due to the sheer amount of explosions but it resolves itself without errors on my end.

Sun beam scales with psychic sensitivity so I recommend using that if the other abilities are too heavy on your hardware.

Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have? Does this happen with only this mod?

Does Ultima Luminis only hurt creatures? I'm casting it, game is nearly crashing, spitting out constant "out of memory" errors, then the flash resolves and there's just a few flames. No destruction of plants or buildings.

I imagine whatever it is trying to do must be really cool with this many out of memory errors though lmao.

Would it be possible to get an autocasting option Solar Rift, so that it will automatically be recast when the rift ends?

Great work!

Fixed.

Getting an error on launch now, I'm thinking it's because of VEF Updating?

Here's the full log:

I think, you misunderstood, MannenMyten. Of course, I did not think what you implied.

Even though the plants are brightly lit by the solar pinhole, they are not growing because it's nightime where my colony resides. That's paradoxical, no? That was my question because to me it didn't make sense.

@Brett it's a portal to the sun, did you think the sun just turned off during night time? lol

Thanks for the quick reply!

@Brett That isn't a bug, it's intended by the devs, you'll need a mod to remove plant resting periods.

Plants that are lit by the greater solar pinhole are still resting during night even though their growth rate is 140% (resting).

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Fair enough! Thanks for the reply.

@Shadowwake Nah unfortunately I couldn't find a way to make it cost heat like the skipgate so I made it spew out a lot of heat instead.

Do the solar pinholes have an ongoing cost to mental heat or some other penalty? Otherwise this seems like an incredibly inexpensive way (compared to 2500 power) to create and maintain multiple crop growing rooms, or even your whole base with an air conditioner or two.

Additionally it's fire damage, meaning mechs and anything that doesn't care about heat just shrugs it off

@WabbaCat The vanilla power beam has a [65, 100) range on the damage it can deal, seems fine to me.

isnt 1 damage per % excessive?
Pretty much 1 shot anything even on low sensitivity?

I am just asking out of an assumption that it would cause such an issue. Not that I know that it would or not. I havent even gotten to a point where I can use any of this trees psycasts yet.

finally i can scream BY GODS LIGHT I SMITE THEE!! as i obliterate the tribals with the devine light of god

Update:

Added psychic sensitivity scaling to sunbeam

Damage scaling is 1 damage per %

@ZAX Hey, i'll have a look to see if it can.

Awesome mod! I wonder if the Sun Beam can be made to scale damage with psychic sensitivity?

@the e Doesn't happen in my game, you maybe got a mod that conflicts with VPE?

uhh for whatever reason i can only unlock greater pinhole, radiant beacon, and enlighten, and the rest just take a point but dont give me the ability or unlock it, weird

i am once again asking for the finger beam and beam explosive kick

@Xalimur there's already settings for that

Recommendation for Ultima Luminis, make either every faction become hostile when casted or at the very least reduce relationship because turning off the sun would piss off anyone xD

Praise the Light

Only one of your pawns can have the buff compared to the 20 raiders with full void implants capable of running half the map in 3 sec

@Obi™ True, it's meant to be used on enemy factions that ♥♥♥♥ on balance (V.O.I.D pawns that resurrect themselves 30 sec after dying and modded enemies with 900% in every stat)

@Obi™ Yeah, half my base is lit up by pinholes so it all goes dark whenever I use th T7 lmao, good thing the T6 skills don't do that

Besides, when considering that in exchange for not being able to use solar pinholes and not being able to grow crops without grow lamps or something else. You get an effectively unkillable, undefeatble pawn that can obliterate any settlement you send it to. It's honestly a steal balance wise, no real drawbacks

I guess as someone who doesn't use solar pinholes that much, I don't see it as that much of a drawback lmao
