I'm afraid i cant recall, i haven't touched avorion for months (probably since i posted that comment knowing me), but i can share the modded script if you want to test it?

@Bob11
Any word on your testing results?

Having had a look at the modern PirateGenerator.lua and comparing it to this modded version, this could do with an update. I've had certain ships spawn, die and drop nothing, and i think this is the reason for it, they're missing a few defines.

This older script also seems to have accidentally (?) removed the ability for pirate ships to drop system upgrades, although they do tend to drop occasionally in my game, again, perhaps edge cases of some of the ship types missing a define so its reverting to default loot tables. I'm not sure but i am currently testing out a modern .lua adjustment to see if it works properly.

Thank you *DD* Psyco, your fix works perfectly, and was explained how to do by a near computer illiterate ancient like myself :) Even if others don't, I will again say thank you.

there i gave u the fix n cause im a c*nt ill make u do some thing by letting u fix it yourselfs, then youve all just learned a valuable trick to get stuff working on ya own incase u cant get hold of a mod author

hey guys, go into your steam thats got game installed, /workshop/content/445220/2052687922 right click on the modinfo.lua and open it with notepad+ + (get notepad ++ if u aint got it already)
scroll down till you see

dependencies = {
{id = "Avorion", min = "1.0", max = "1.*"}

and change it to

dependencies = {
{id = "Avorion", min = "1.0", max = "2.*"}

thats the only issue, once u done this the game will let u load it and it works, i cba to upload mods n all that ♥♥♥♥ but its a change 1 character fix that any monkey can do, happy to help xD i just worked it out by people saying not same game version, n i know that the modinfo.lua and the part that asks for game version is normaly the only issue, incase u have issues with other mods xxx

PlinioJRM wrote in a comment below that he successfully fixed this mod.
Then they asked for permission to re-upload the fixed version.

However, from their Steam community page, it does not appear that they ever created a workshop item. I can only imagine that the fixed version was forgotten about.

This does not work with the current 2.0 version. MOD screen is red saying game version not the same

@PlinioJRM have you uploaded the updated version?

@PlinioJRM sure you can do that, just credit me please.

@Driftwood_Gaming, i have successfully fixed your lua script. May i have your permission to re-upload your mod as Fixed?

Yes please!

I'm sorry for not updating this in so long, I haven't played for many versions now. Maybe soon?

Please update!

The boring grind at the beginning when it's hard to either find or afford a few decent turrets is one of my biggest gripes for this game.

a update is needed ? :)

Not working for 2.2 :(

@gsimmons03 just roll back to 2.0, under the beta tab. It works perfectly on that version, just not 2.1+

Can Someone fix this mod so it will continue to work??

@Kala | соси это It does now.. didn't back in October. So what you said is completely true. It is broken with the latest patch.

yea uhhh this thing breaks the pirate AI completely

@kala open the file containing the mod
C:\steam\steamapps\workshop\content\445220\2052687922, or where ever your steam folder is.
then open modinfo.lua. change the "max" values to 2.0.6.. refresh if ingame mod menu

@nhgamespot347, how do you do that?

gotta change the version in the modinfo

Update for 2.0.6?

looks like its working

working so far in 2.0, will update after a few hours of play

Any plans to upgrade to work with 2.0?

谢谢，非常实用！

How do you figure out the game and mod id number ?

Hello,
I've got an issue with this mod: it seems that some pirates (around 2 out of 3) don't have any weapons and just stay idle while being destroyed. They are often named "Sentinel".
I've been playing with other mods though it seems that this problem does not appear when I deactivate your mod. Any help?

Awesome mod. You can edit the droprate as follows:
Go to your steam workshop folder. Open the game ID and go through the mods ID and its subfolders to open the pirategenerator.lua file.
Make a backup of the file first.


Search for Raider, Ravager and Pirate and set below settings as you like. I have these:

How to change amount in this script?

batter to make mod some like x3 drop or x5 drop more ;D

Perfect to go with the weapon engineering mod. Lots of crappy turrets = lots of upgrade materials

I've just now uploaded a patch to reduced the crazy output to be something more along the lines of my original intention. Thank you to all of you who helped me test this out and supplied feedback. :)

@TwitchyJ, yeah I think Driftwood Gaming was trying to do ({Normal Drop Rate} x 2) and instead did ({Normal Drop Rate} x 20). :)

"This is a minor adjustment to not adjust the balance too much."
Lol. If this is intended to be a minor adjustment then something went very wrong. I just destroyed 3 pirates and picked up over 600 turrets.

Yeah you may want to create a version that is not quite such an intense multiplier. A few pirate fights and your inventory is full. Could you make a version that is about half the increase that this one is?

Dude... That's a LOT. New galaxy, first pirate raid : 142 references, not including duplicates. I love it, went a tad too far.

"Minor Adjustment" 100+ turrets from an early-game encounter.
