Outdated Tiered Chests Upbeat Giraffe 1.01

The recipes should cost five bars of the correct metal. I did not add a pixel cost because the other tiered items (doors, chairs, beds, etc.) did not have a pixel cost either.

What do you think the cost should be? It wouldn't be much trouble for me to make you some new recipe files with a different cost if you want.

 

it just looked like in that screen that they had no cost

I recommend getting rid of the player.config (__merge or no), and, instead, making a __merge in the various metal bar files.

Using Impervium Bar (found under .../items/generic/crafting/ ) as an example:

Code:

{
    "__merge" : [],
        "learnBlueprintsOnPickup" : [ "tier10bed", "tier10techchest", "tier10table", "tier10switch", "tier10light", "tier10door", "tier10chair" ]
}

This way, picking up an Impervium Bar will give you the recipes... which is better than other ways of accomplishing the same result.

 

Good Idea, I'll add that in the next update. Thanks!

 

Errrr, I cant seem to craft the tables? Is that intentional?

 

This mod has always had great potential, but I do remember that it haven't received as much attention as it truly deserves. While yes it had balancing issues with recipes, but nothing a little tweak to the recipes here and there cannot fix... I had tons of fun with this mod when it used to work on old stable build until it was no longer updated.

It is simple, yet at same time fancy and at same time fits the game very well. I do not care too much for recipe balancing since It is easy to modify it your self, but I would love to see this brought back into the latest stable build release Upbeat Giraffe.

Man... if you are still out there, please hear us out, if you can make it happen... then your the best!

 

Thank you for the kind words. The new update got me playing Starbound again, and seeing as there is interest, I will try to get an update out over the weekend. What do you think the recipes should be? I didn't put much though into them when originally making the mod.

 

Hmn, I really don't remember... Last time I played starbound in the old build... I had your mod and I had my custom recipes for those chests. They worked really well... I will scrounge around in my old server files to see if I can find them to help us get started.

*EDIT* I found them, I will send you the details of what I got in a private message.

*EDIT 2* Alright, I've sent you what I got, hope it helps.

So I installed the mod however I don't seem to be able to craft the chests. I'm up to the point just before fighting the first boss, have all the current crafting stuff for that point in the game, but I don't see iron or steel chests as a craftable item.

 

Thank you for reporting this. I cannot see what the problem would be. Are other mods working for you? The mod directory has changed since the last stable build. Mods now go in Starbound\giraffe_storage\mods rather than Starbound\mods. Is the mod in the right place? When I play, I see the name of the mod and all other active mods in red text on the main menu. Do you see this?

 

I also can't find them in the Metalwork Station. The mod is in the right place(Starbound/giraffe_storage/mods) and I can spawn them with admin mode.

 

I see what the problem is, the chests cannot be made at the metalwork station. The iron chest is made at the crafting table and the steel and titanium chests are made at the iron crafting table. These should be the same place as the other iron, steel, and titanium furniture respectively. I see where the confusion came from as the picture is from an older version of the mod. I will update the picture as soon as I have time.

 

Does that mean we need to rebuild all the older tier crafting tables and stuff to make new chests? I don't think I ever got the notification either that said I learned new recipes when I loaded in for the first time with the mod enabled.

Edit: I build the crafting table and the iron anvil just to check, neither of them have the chests in them. As for where I have them installed, I extracted everything into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\giraffe_storage\mods

 

I'm sorry, but I do not know what the problem could be. I have looked through all the files and cannot see what the problem would be. I have the mod installed in my own client and the chests are where they are supposed to be. There are many other mods that do essentially the same thing as this one. I completely understand if you have already found one that suits your needs. If you are still trying to get this to work, check if you can spawn the chests using admin commands.

 

I honestly have no idea what was wrong, but I made a new character and the chests showed up for them, then switched to my old character and suddenly all the chests were available there as well. In either case, the important thing is that it works now.
