Thanks for the reply, good tip. I will try it!

Yeah, it's doable. I don't have it in a standalone mod I don't think, but ECM has an option to set the visitor capacity of any building (menu>ecm>buildings>capacity>visitor capacity).

Hey, thanks so much for your work. Would it be possible to create a mod that would increase the capacity of “Dome Services” buildings? (diner, spacebar, casino, ...).
Same number of workers more number of visitors.
It would be great!

Sorry in advance for the code being a bit obtuse, it's an earlier mod.

My mods are all on github under mit license, have at 'er.

Hey, I would love to edit this mod a bit, making it less OP, only giving marginal increases in capacity at a higher cost, remove the capacity from science buildings and some other tweaks. May I publish it afterwards, with reference to you of course?

I love this mod. Best is that you can add buildings to your list by yourself. You only need graphics in the UI and the right path to it to get the upgrad buttons. Very user friendly. (And how Biden says: god shave us! Better entertainment than our Bockbaer! ;) )

Each building can have three upgrades. Some of them already have upgrades.

I am a little confused by that determines how many upgrades each building gets.

For instance, I currently have a Smart Apartment, original space is 20, and I had the option to make 2 upgrades, which gave me a total space of 80.

At the same time I have an Arcology, which is originally 32, but it only gave me the option for a single upgrade, and it's not also 80.

Which seems to make little sense, I'd think if the starting number is quite a bit higher, the possible total should go up proportionately. Is this an error of some sort or is this intentional?

Also, a majority of the housing buildings seem to have 2 upgrades available, whilst the nursery which is also after all housing has 3. The businesses/services are also all over the place for me, the medical outpost has 1, security post has 3, grocer has 2, tai chi garden has 3, amphiteatre has 3 but diner 2... I'm just so confused.

Can anyone shed some light on this? My little brain does not compute.

I updated my Enable Cheats Pane mod to fix the issue.

I'll take a look

It freezes whenever I use the cheat menu to get the capacity upgrades and would have to relaunch the game

You always want food depots outside of dome entrances; unprepared food is better than starving.

If they're going through the diner stockpile too quickly than maybe build another one?

Yes, after the upgrade, the capacity is still only 10, which is consumed in an instant. I don't know if this will affect the comfort of the residents, but the warning that pops up makes me feel that they are not getting enough to eat.

The little depots outside of them?

Can increase the food capacity after the upgrade? Food in restaurants and shops is always consumed in an instant

It seems that this mod is an OP...

Updated

probably needs some TLC

Okay, I just discovered that using ECM to apply the upgrade to one building unlocks the upgrade for all other buildings of the same type. It will not unlock the next tier tho.

The upgrades do not show up for me. They do show up in ECM, but not via the normal vanilla interface. Is this intended behaviour or is something bonked?

You might want to remove these upgrades from science buildings, I found that applying the upgrades made any science building (including the network spires) less effective, since it expands the workforce without changing anything else. Anyway, it is a great mod. Very powerful, but I really like using it for sanatoriums so that I am not building endless numbers of nearly empty domes with sanatoriums to keep up with the mental health needs of my colonies...

I find the default upgrades to way too generous. It'd be nice if they were something like 66% 33% and 16%. That way it at least feels like it is genuine. Also, could add a comfort debuff for each upgrade, say -5. Just some ideas.

Thanks for the great mods.

Oh yeah, that's my mod. Odd bug :)

i believe i know which mod... i have a farm mod that produces waste rock in exchange or increasing soil quality... i will see what i can do for that... as for the homeless problem..i think it may be the passage skin mod you or silva did that removes the top and only leaves the walkway, may be a coincidince but after i changed the skin back to a normal skin the homeless problem started to correct itself, but then i got the drone bug... so one thing at a time, thank you for pointing me in a direction :)

That error is from a building that produces wasterock (or tries to?), but is missing the wasterock producer object. Probably some mod, but as for which one...

this particular problem has my curent game unplayable, i know its not related to this mod, but its all my error log has in it after not noticing any errors up to this point

I appear to have a problem with my drones, this is what my error log is full of after waiting 5 minutes for file to open

No idea :), could check your log for errors I guess?

sorry for the split post, but the posting limits it to 1000 words or less....

i build a dome, put housing in it, modded housing specifically, the ultimate collection another author made, has increased capacities, havent had problems prior, people move into dome, setup shop, everythings going good... then more people move in, i upgrade with the increased capacity from this mod, goes good for a day or 3, then the homelessness hits and the dome vacates leaving me with the aforementioned empty homeless dome
currently i have managed to get the homelessness down to about 30+ people from the 150+ people but its taken several mars weeks to do so
as i said im suspecting its a combination of everything i have going on and not just one thing specifically, but seeing as your probably more knowledgeable about the game then the developers maybe you could shed some light on this for me

big fan of your mods choggi, you do excellent quality work, but im wondering if you have heard anything about incompatibilities with this mod and some other authors mods, i have alot of mods installed so im not discounting any of them not being compatible, but im suspecting this particular one being possibly incompatible with some others i have, so heres my problem...
since installing this mod, my domes get tons of homeless... somewhere in tthe magnitude of 150+ then the dome goes inert because of all the homeless and everyone except the homeless vacate, so heres the sequence of what happens, maybe you can give me some direction...

I'm just doing a multiply of 1.5 or something, I guess I could add a slider?

The capacity amounts are way too high, can you make a config or another mod that makes them more balanced?

Haha thanks Choggi, I always forget about about that screen.

CCC>Buildings will let you list all your colony buildings and it shows power consump (can't click the headers and sort them for whatever reason).

I just reloaded the mod and seemed to work now. Off topic but do you know if there is any mod that shows what the biggest power consumer buildings are?

For the first cap upgrade you see, does it show 15+ capacity? and does it show two or three cap upgrades?

The logs are in https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1777493789
either pastebin.com or email@choggi.org

Well tbh, Ive never had problem with your mods, and really only use polished ones like yours and silva's, so I dont really know how to check them. I have the upgrade capacity options available, but not service bots.

I've made sure it doesn't replace existing upgrades, so the service bots are still there.

Mind checking if your log shows anything when you load a save?

Choggi, I still cant seem to get service bots to work with this.

Cheating is wrong

the new slots in the hawk institute is a little op

Yep

Hey Choggi are these compatible with service bots now?

That upgrade isn't from this mod, see if there's any errors in your log when you upgrade to service bots.

yeah, the first level makes the dinner think it has bots, but it says it dosn't have workers.

Upgrade 1 is service bots no?

So far only upgrade 2 and 3 seem to work for Diners - as soon as upgrade 1 is enabled it disables the building.

Yeah that was a bug, it was only supposed to do residences/workplaces/services.
Not sure why diners are auto-disabling, what does that mean?
