Of course the big update would drop right before I went on vacation Well, I look forward to messing around with t when I get back at least, can't wait!

 

woot!

 

The update is AMAZING, Aegonian! Thank you so much for all the work you put into it!
I was gagged when I found an Aegi Village on my starting planet!

Also, I absolutelly loved the "teaser" for the next you put in the Alliance Refugee!

 

Great work! Guess this mod wasn't as dead as people thought, eh?

Just, uh, two issues I found right away.

First, the codex looks wonky as the extra icons push the whole frame out of place:




Second, you may want to restrict what planets dungeons and settlements can appear on. Because my starter lush planet had an Aegi village on it, which spoiled the whole "stranded alone on an undeveloped planet" feeling... and it apparently supplanted the mine, as that failed to appear anywhere. Now, since I'm playing with FU, the mine is largely irrelevant for me, but vanilla players might not be so happy. (I'm assuming the Aegi supplanted the mine since there's a limit on biomes for these planets, though I really have no idea if that's the case.)

Anyway, definitely a good update in every other sense, and I look forward to finding more stuff.

 

Looks like you're Extended GUI, which messes up the Codex menu when combined with Elithian Races. There's an easy fix though: just install Many Tabs, and the menu should be fixed.

I'm currently looking into fixes for the Frackin' Universe starter world issue! I had already implemented a config change to the lush planets that should prevent the Aeginian Colony from overwriting FU stuff, but I think FU is actively counteracting it by forcing ERM to load first...

 

i keep finding avikan codexes in aegi villages. is that supposed to be?

 

Is that in the latest version of the mod? This used to be the case in the GitHub version for a long time, but the 2.3.0 update should have fixed this.

 

ok, how do i update the GitHub again?

 

You can download the latest version by hitting the green "Clone or Download" button and selecting "Download ZIP". You can then install the mod as you normally do, obviously removing the old version first.

There's other methods too that make the updating process a lot faster and easier, but they take some more time to set up. Here's a good guide for setting it up, if you're interested.

 

Question. Does the current github build include the fix for the aegi village messing around with the starting planet thing? I noticed that the git build and the one currently available on the forums are of different sizes, specifically the bit being bigger.

 

Yeah, the GitHub version includes that fix! The version found here is lagging behind a little bit - I'll update it again when hotfix 2.3.2 hits, which will likely be sometime today.

v2.3.2 - Hotfix

Does anyone know if the Aegi work with Frackin Universe's new SAIL interface? Or does the patch mod need to be updated?

 

hey question is the drone supposed to be able to shoot when you hit right click, or is that unfinished?

 

Don't have experience with it myself sadly, hopefully someone else here is able to fully answer your question. Plenty of people use both FU and ERM without any major issues though, so I expect it to work fine. If not, give me a shout and I'll try to fix it!

You mean the controllable Drahl? It can fire its linerifle if you hold down right-click: just tapping it won't do anything. The controllable Drahlid (the small one) has no right-click ability, while the Alliance drone has a flashlight instead.

 

wait wait wait wait… theres a small controllable drone too? ohfs this is going to be awesome

 

yeah that, the bigger one, the Alliance one works fine for me however the drone just appears to keep starting its firing animation but even if i hold it down it just acts like I'm spamming right-click

 

I'll have to investigate this a bit further, then. Are you experiencing any lag in your game? The remote controller works by sending messages between the controller and the vehicle, and if something interrupts those messages, the charge sequence will stop. If you're experiencing lag, that could be the cause of the charge being interrupted.
