So what do you want to see to improve your mining experience? Please post ideas and suggestions here. Anyone contributing something that gets implemented with be given a mention in the credits. Come be a part of a new mod!

The only thing I can think of off hand is actually a kind of conflict with playership drones v4 (Though it would also happen just from un-installing the devices). When you change ships you have to uninstall your scanner and smelter, and when you re-install them in a new ship they are reduced to starting level and you have to upgrade them again.

Are you using mining pack v1.04? We should have fixed that. "And then some" in TransGeek's words.

Regardless, we've fixed it even harder for the next release. ;)

Ahh, yes I do believe I am... Have to wait till I FINALLY reach the core and can restart. I've restarted way too many times for cool mods to add in and have put my foot metaphorically down... or sideways... what direction does a metaphorical foot go anyway? Wednesday?

Last restart was due to my own mod 'Expressive Teratons'. Had to go over AND get all the way to the ringers/teratons to see if the darned thing worked. Do you know by any chance of a way of generating a station on current coords? I tried the one in the demo for Smart Tinkers but it wouldn't work. It'd sure be easier to just test in Eridani than have to go through from scratch each time.

You could use G.O.D. mod by alterecco or run Trans in /debug mode and use syscreatestation. I remember when I first started out I put an invoke on the Saph's recoilless cannon XD

or, run in debug mode with Cheatcodes, and get it to auto spawn the station under you when the game starts :D

Tried the cheat codes thing in debug, couldn't get it to work. I used the code from Smart Tinkers that he used to generate a station on the playership position. I haven't started wading through the various code description pages yet.

For some reason though I never thought of the G.O.D. mod. Haven't tried that one yet. I think I'm running; no sell limit, playership drones v4, the network, 400 weapons, 912 reactors, 912 items, um... a few others too I think. Have to check up. Oh, Smart Tinkers... Mining mod 1.04... Tech analyzer... Repair droids and no dock nav beacons (that was a pain!)

Having an issue with a mod I'm making that used the debug console to generate a station to test the mod. I'm posting a virtual copy of this post in the thread you mentioned sdw195.

The code I put in my mod was virtually identical to that at the beginning of 'SmartTinkers':


<Globals>
(block Nil
(setq MakeFactory (lambda Nil
(sysCreateStation &stTeratonFactory; (objGetPos gPlayerShip))
))
)
</Globals>

and when you open the debug console and type in 'MakeFactory' this comes up... but no station :(

(lambda Nil (sysCreateStation 2039812 (objGetPos gPlayerShip)))

I even tried the Smart Tinker command just incase I was typing something wrong, but a similar error came up on that. Is it a mod conflict or something to do with the advances in the Transcendence version up to 1.08b since Smart Tinkers was made?

Any idea how to generate a station of your choice in 1.08b?
