Super Structures

Migration from S+; structures remain?
Couldn't find it explained explicitly anywhere, if we have a server running S+ and migrate to SS via the migration guide, then remove S+ and only have SS running does all the S+ structures remain and just convert SS versions of the objects?

Would this migration delete anything assuming no custom S+ overides? (we have some S+ specific engram changes that could just be re-done for SS)

The structures convert using the same mechanism that affects converting between vanilla homestead items and S+. Shutdown server, swap mods, start server. On load it looks for the assets by name and the only asset it will find is the SS asset. So thus the conversion occurs.

Reminder that integrated Splus items from the homestead patch are recommended to be disabled.

You can confirm if you need to change your engrams by looking at the mod files. I don't think the asset files names have changed so you should be ok.

What effect will this have on my Single Player if I have buildings constructed with S+ materials, I remove the S+ mod and add the Super Structures mod into the active mod list, and load into my Single Player game?

I have yet to do this, so I prefer to ask the question before I commit myself to this action.

Single player IS a server. There are fewer differences than you think.

Swap the mods and you will be fine.
But always backup before making changes

Can someone give me a step by step Mnuall? Or is it just: 1. install SS mod 2. restart server 3. delete S+ ?

This isnt a swap though.

Only run one of the mods at a time.

Upon looking at the spawn codes for the SS items, I saw that they were essentially the same as they would appear on the S+ mod; identical in fact. For other people out there, I can vouch for this; I removed the S+ mod from the active mods list and added the Super Structures mod, and the assets I've already placed simply read them from the SS mod itself. So there was really no reason for me to worry in the first place.

No, you were supposed to start the server after you deleted the S+ mod. The very first thing you should have done was shut down the server. Then you can either delete the S+ mod and then add the SS mod...or add the SS mod and then delete the S+ mod. But once those first 3 steps are done, THEN you can restart the server.

This^^^^. It worked like a charm, green circles are gone and everything is where it should be and works. I cant wait to see what other goodies this mod gives.
