Early Adopter Migration Guide
This guide is for those moving from S+ to SS that still have the July 11th, 2019 patch and HAVE NOT updated to the May 18th, 2020 or later S+ release. If you have already migrated, you will need to reference the Later Bloomer Migration Guide.

For those of you moving from S+ to SS (Super Structures). All of your structures will be safe and will not be removed if you are moving directly from the original S+ mod and you migrate correctly.

First of all, I strongly recommend that you test this on a test server before implementing this on your real one just to make sure everything is working correctly.

Before you swapout:
  1. The primary mod folder, folder paths, and all blueprint names have been left unchanged so that migrating would be easy. This is a double edged sword. Not changing the names means this mod will create problems when paired with any other S+ Variants or S+ itself and will still have the homestead conversion on restart.
  2. The following structures were originally in Super Structures as well, but have since been removed. It should be noted that the S+/SS Tek Buggy does not exist in S+ or SS any longer and the S+ Repulser Pad was replaced by the SS Tek Jump Pad.
    • S+ Repulser Pad (Removed on 09/21/2020, replaced by SS Tek Jump Pad)
    • S+ Tek Buggy (Removed on 09/21/2020)
  3. Several ini setting names INCLUDING the header have been changed. That includes:
    • Config header changed from [StructuresPlus] to [SuperStructures]
    • SPlusAutoTurretSlotCount -> SSAutoTurretSlotCount (Please see config setting details / defaults as every turret now has its own slot config)
    • SPlusCraftingStationSlotCount -> SSCraftingStationSlotCount
    • SPlusHeavyTurretSlotCount -> SSHeavyTurretSlotCount
    • SPlusCraftingStationCraftingSpeed -> SSCraftingStationCraftingSpeed
    • DisableItemCollectorPoopDistribution has been removed in favor of a new INI setting ItemCollectorDistributionBlacklist= please see the INI settings here for more information on what to put there.
    • DisableCrossTeamTeleport has been removed in favor of a new INI setting CrossTeamTeleportSetting= please see the INI settings here for more information on what to put there.
    • MutatorRangeInFoundations has been replaced, see config setting details for more information.
    If you use ASM on your server, you may need to manually remove the old S+ settings from your INI
  4. Decay Destruction Multipliers are equalized in SS, so on swapout, expect decay timers to change (some structures with originally higher decay timers may decay immediately if enough time has passed and your server runs the Auto Decay option)
  5. The SS Replicator & SS Industrial Forge has been reduced in size to fit inside 4-high walls, your existing structures will likewise be downsized upon swapout.
  6. The Item collector model is different so likewise, your item collector models will look different (they also use gasoline instead of propellant so you'll need to swap out the fuel)

Once you are ready, you should be able to swap out the mods and be good to go.
