Concerning the missing push button effect of the Advanced Tractor Beam, I originally wanted to simply disable the button for the time being, but since I can't be sure if this will break people's playthroughs somehow I just made minor changes to the description of the Advanced Tractor Beam.

This isn't he permanent fix
It's just to make it clear the push thingy currently doesn't work as it should and I'd rather have a button that doesn't do anything than temporarily removing it and potentially shafting anyone who had this button enabled and break their playthrough somehow.

The battery size changes were a part of making ETTM compatible with the meltdown update, which added a vanilla 4x battery size.
This necessitated me to change the battery sizes of every advanced item producing batteries (the battery size increased but total power output was made to stay as it was before meltdown for balance purposes) since it was using the custom 4x battery size as a base.
However, apparently, amidst the hundreds of individual changes I needed to make for the last 2 big patches, I apparently forgot to modify the battery sizes of these 2 ship parts.
This should now be fixed.

Version 1.5.1b is a minor patch

- Fixed Advanced Capacitor battery storage sizes (was 4x battery size, is now 5x battery size)
- Fixed Advanced Large Reactor Core battery sizes (was still using old stats from before meltdown, this is now fixed).
- Changed description of the Advanced Tractor Beam to make it a bit more clear it can only pull (till I get to fixing this).

@TMC_Atom: Thanks for reporting. I'm aware of the issue but no clue what causes this. It should work, but it simply doesn't.

having an issue where advanced tractor beams always pull things no matter what theyre set to.

Version 1.5.1a is a minor update:

- Fixed bug with armored thrusters introduced by the meltdown update, they can no longer catch fire.
- Armored thrusters also get a very light increase in thermal resistance, making them a little bit more resistant to thermal damage.

Atm there are 2 major bugs I still need to work on: The recently reported bug of the advanced ions no longer combining by their prisms and the advanced tractor beam not having a proper repulsion mode (button to reverse doesn't seem to do anything, otherwise it works fine).
Neither of these 2 bugs make any sense to me, they should just work, but they don't.

I'm probably gonna have to completely re-do both of these. Even the devs had no idea what could have caused the ion combination bug.

@Lexxas: I had a look at what the cause of this might be, but it must have been caused by one of the recent updates as I haven't made any structural changes to this weapon in like 2 years or so.
So I'm assuming something changed with one of the recent updates.

Honestly, I haven't a clue what the issue could be or how to fix this. I'm asking one of the devs but they live in the USA so aren't at work rn.

I'm assuming it's something with the prism, but other than completely redoing the weapon I currently don't know how to fix it (since I don't know the problem and haven't a clue why this problem even exists now while before it didn't).

I will update you on any progress, but I do consider this a priority bug.

@Lexxas: Thanks for reporting. I've been able to confirm your results and I will see why this changed. The advanced ions themselves sure didn't change, it must have been some change with one of the recent updates.

Definitely a bug!

Advanced ion prisms don`t combine damage from advanced ion beam emitters. An advanced ion prism deals damage equal to only one advanced ion emitter, regardless of how many emitters or other prisms are aimed at it.

@Goldenthunder96: I still need to add parts that make use of aetherium, these are next to be added.
Till then their only use is for selling for credits.

Hey SirCampalot, which use does Aetherium have?
I cant find anything related to it? O.o

@66562940: Thank you for reporting. I have put it on my todo list for things I need to have a look at.
@DrBury: Thank you for the feedback :)

Also sorry for late response, I just got back from my trip abroad.

I love how this mod keeps getting patched I'm so sad when old mods stop working because of cosmoteer's updates but I like the game too much to drop it.

Advanced Tractor Beam can only pull enemy ships towards itself, no matter which work mode I choose, it can only pull the enemy ships, but can not them away!

Version 1.5.1 is now released and adds the following:

- Added the Hyperium Grower


The Hyperium Grower is meant as a mid-game ship part and is thus not available early on.
It's essentially a converted small reactor core redesigned to use its internal power production to grow hyperium crystals instead of batteries.
But it will take a loooong time to grow hyperium, so your best bet is to (once you reached mid game and researched the HG) build a couple of them, then forget you have them.

The advantage is that, due to it growing the crystals completely without user intervention, it requires very little manpower. The only thing your crew would need to do is to fetch the hyperium and place it in a storage for future use.

@Dre Patron: Oh I get it now. dpmexplosive_struct_nuke is one of my WIP thingies. It was supposed to be part of some kind of kamikaze explosive, but I never got it to function in a satisfactory way so I simply commented it out (for the time being at least).

It shouldn't cause any problems unless you enable it again, but (as you already found out) chances are recent updates broke these testing parts.

The vast majority of testing WIP parts are not contained within ETTM btw, but in a private beta addon which also broke due to recent updates, but this will have to wait till I get back from my trip :)

I plan on doing a small update for ETTM later today, but don't expect anything major.

@Dre Patron: I haven't gotten this crash, but thanks for reporting.

Could you tell me when this exactly occurs so I can reproduce it?

Also better hurry because after today I'll be away for a week.

@SirCampalot, Your mod is a must for me! but in the latest update I kept having issues with the "dpmexplosive_struct_nuke" file due to some unexpected * added or missing, I managed to fix it by but wanted to share that in case you haven't noticed yet :) (for now I'll just override your file locally) if you ever need some testing i'd love to help.

For the people who are having issues with their modlist due to not all of their mods having been updated to Cosmoteer 0.30.1, I have uploaded the previous version of ETTM to this page: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3565821352

@19rrnoah: This update hit at 1.15am local time, so I had just gone to bed.

Usually I prefer to prepatch my mods before Cosmoteer updates, but due to the nature of this update this was literally impossible, so I had to wait for Cosmoteer 0.30.1 to go live before I could update this.

Please keep sending me bug reports as I will have little time in the next few weeks, so I can keep fixing bugs afterwards.

Version 1.5.0

Preliminary update to support Cosmoteer version 0.30.1.
Previous versions of Cosmoteer will no longer work with the live version of ETTM.

Potential bugs: Since I had to work on this patch when the Cosmoteer release candidates kept making changes to hundreds of files, I opted to keep using a lot of the older sounds, for the time being at least.
So if some of the sounds do not work normally, please let me know as I'll probably be adding at least a few more patches after this version BUT I will go on a holliday soon and am really busy IRL rn, so this will take time.

But priority is to prevent it from crashing.

can this be updated plz

is this updated

@264155249: Yes. Perhaps I should add more information regarding the high-tech equipment in this mod, but suffice to say the high-tech content is meant to be for mid-game, not for early game.

Currently Cosmoteer is very limited in how a modder can make certain tech available only in higher tiers.

我发现添加的特殊资源星无法被开采 .相位光束无效
只有mood里的采矿器才有效

Just a headsup: The next RC features changes to asteroids which comes down to it not being possible to pre-patch ETTM to prevent it from crashing when the next Cosmoteer version is released.

I am currently working on making it work with the next Cosmoteer version, but I am unfortunately gonna have to wait until the next Cosmoteer patch is actually released before I can update ETTM.

The same goes for all my asteroid mods. I'm currently working on preparing their next versions as well but it's a lot of work. Hopefully I can complete it all before this weekend.

@lelapindalbi: I've tested the booster just now in creative mode quickly and I've not been able to reproduce this crash. It boosts just fine.

If it crashes for you, could you please copypaste the crash log in here or in "Feedback and other remarks." so I can have a look at it?

le booster me fait crash quand je lactive

@lelapindalbi: Could you describe to me what the issue is with the advanced thruster? All of them or only specific ones?

please update

bug truster adv

@4sunnyh: Thanks for reporting. I'll add it to my todo list.

Advanced tractor beams seem to be bugged: they only pull the target no matter what the mode is.

Thats cool of you bro

@liniv: That's unlikely. I don't play the game anymore (or at least not for the time being) and I personally don't like how the overclock system was implemented.

But I will keep my mods maintained for the foreseeable future as a courtecy for the people using my mods.

Will this be updated to have OC mode?

@Caseycc: This is unfortunately a game limitation due to how the compacted rocks had to be implemented. However, I wasn't aware this also happened when mining standard asteroid rock.

My apologies for the inconvenience, the game wasn't made to have these different types of rocks in the game due to how rudimentary asteroid generation is.

Seems like the High Tech Mining Laser does not mark stuff for gathering after dismantling things, where as vanilla and Advanced Mining Laser do have that functionality.

@scripper2002: So I hate endgame lag. So none of my parts are more laggy than vanilla parts (or at least they should definitely not be) and many of the parts are less laggy than vanilla parts.

@SirCampalot hey hello i want to know if all part doesn't be laggi

Version 1.4.0a

Identical to version 1.4.0, but necessary because Cosmoteer 0.30.0a disabled ETTM AGAIN, so not only will this fix this error, I've also prepatched ETTM to prevent this error from happening again for the foreseeable future.

@r/report.me: Make sure your version of ETTM is updated to the latest 1.4.0 version and that you're running Cosmoteer 0.30.0. That should fix that particular error.

I just got this error

Deserialization from source "<...dpm_missile_nuke_stage1.rules>/Components/Hit/HitOperational/HitEffects/0/TotalDamage" failed.
Reference ... does not refer to a field node.


I dont think I should have any other mods that conflict with ETTM.

@GYOMEI-HIMEJIMA_9906: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2946411143/567001570938471032/
so probably not.

will you add overclock?

I forgot to include the actual link to the latest legacy version, my bad. This is for people who want to remain in Cosmoteer 0.29.0
You can get it here: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3540606020
On this page ETTM currently supports Cosmoteer 0.30.0 only. It turned out to unfortunately not be possible to support both 0.29.0 and 0.30.0, but most of the sattelite mods (like the ETTM versions of Dwarf Planets, Gigaroids, etc) will work in 0.29.0 and in 0.30.0.

When any of the sattelite mods stop funtioning in 0.29.0 then I will upload legacy versions of those mods as well, but until further notice you can assume the sattelite mods -will- work in 0.30.0 even if the game pops a message it may be incompatible (and if it breaks plz let me know so I can fix it).

Have a nice weekend.

Please keep in mind that for people wo wish to remain in Cosmoteer 0.29.0 I've uploaded a legacy version of ETTM to the workshop yesterday.

Thus far all sattelite mods I tested seem to work fine, but I will be updating their version numbers very soon anyway to prevent the game from automatically disabling them, which is annoying especially when trying to play in coop.
These include Upgraded Enemy Ships, Upgraded Defense Platforms and Classic Bounty Hunter. I expect all asteroid sattelite mods to function just fine, but will probably also have to up their version numbers due to the auto-disabling feature thingy.

Version 1.4.0 is now released and makes the following changes:

- Preliminary update to prevent ETTM from crashing when used with Cosmoteer 0.30.0. Previous versions of Cosmoteer no longer supported due to core changes in the game (legacy version was released yesterday for Cosmoteer 0.29.0).
- All advanced reactors have an increased battery size. Instead of 4x, 8x and 12x, the battery sizes are now 5x, 10x and 15x. This was necessary due to the addition of the vanilla huge battery.
Power generation of all ETTM reactors are unchanged, just the battery size has.
- Parts are fitted to the new caterory menues, but the new fancy expanding menues have not been implemented yet.

@hisairnezz: This version is currently not working in the live version of the game. This Cosmoteer patch is the biggest since it went to steam. It was in the preview state for a few months, but the Release Candidate was for a very short time, hence I didn't have the time yet to grind through all the errors yet.
Also atm I have other stuff going on and I don't play this game anymore, so I'm a bit out of the loop.
I don't know about SW but iirc Jani's Shipyard was already patched?

This Cosmoteer update broke a LOT of mods. After ETTM I will be checking my other mods, but most of my other mods should be fine.

Re-installed your mod now , but allways crashes at
"dmp Nuke stage 1 , ...does not refer to a field node"

There will be a lot to do for all the good Mod´s in the game. I crossed it all over , so if 1 Main Mod is not runnin , i am done :D

Hopefully You and Yanis , the SW Team and all the other big Moders got time to fix all the issues.
I am very happy your still working on it , cause this one of the important ones !
Good luck SC
