I personally love your balancing on the ancient tank machine gun. Better DPS than the vanilla expanded charge SMG, but even shorter range, I had to pay a lot of attention to positioning in order to make sure my pawns using them were actually in range throughout fights. Also very helpful in clearing cramped dungeons and Odyssey event buildings. Well done

Ancient Engines with Ancient power cells when?

Understandable. I hope you are doing well and have not burned yourself out. :)

@DG Noir I will take a look later, I just took a little break from modding.

Im not sure if my post was deleted or i never posted to begin with but are there plans to make loot for odysee ruins? thankyou for the mod reguardless.

As a result they're getting a penalty to work speed despite making the room they're in a kitchen.

I think the ancient microwave/(other one) need to be patched to require a kitchen to work at normal speed, currently they seem to be asking for a workshop.

I've also never seen any of these drop from the things on the map. At most I've seen a power bank and one battery sold by a merchant once, and some ancient soda in quests and merchant inventories rarely.

@TurtleShroom Unsure if that's the cause but nothing is impossible.

I've used this Mod for months and I never saw it drop. I guess it's because I have Mods that cause items that are to be destroyed to accept deconstruction, in which case nothing happens...

@TurtleShroom Structures that can be deconstructed should be deconstructed, not destroyed. And structures that don't have an option for deconstruction have a chance to drop loot regardless of how they are destroyed. Note that mods that change deconstruction behaviour do not affect this, it's based on vanilla deconstruction gizmo availability. Some structures have really small chances for loot to drop, like ancient tanks. Others, like crates, have higher chances, you can test on them if the loot drops are working for you.

I've never seen any Ancient Structure drop these. Do I have to punch it until it breaks, or will using cheat codes to click the Deconstruction button also fix it?

@Radiohead I'll see. I may merge some mods in the future and then expand.

This is a really cool looking mod, I like the idea of finding these rare little treasures while digging through the debris of the past. Do you plan to expand with the new kinds of debris and clutter and rubble added by Odyssey and 1.6?

@FRENKI I will.

Please update to 1.6

@Blackrussian Not in the near future, but maybe.

Would you ever consider making a patch for Ancient Ruins Urban?

Just wanted to say, thank you for this mod, it is amazing for my scavenger playthrough

add ancient bed (i cant find any mod that has it without needing ideology)

@fallenscion Glad you are enjoying them, it's nice to know that people like the things I make. =)

Thanks! I also just wanted to take a moment to reiterate how much I love your mods - they add really nice little things that don't completely overhaul the game, but flesh things out and fit nicely into 90% of my runs.

@fallenscion It does not matter for tanks I believe.

Does it matter if you destroy vs deconstruct these? (Specifically interested in the tanks)

@Lordlynel Megacannon barrels were indeed not working, that is fixed now. Tanks do drop machine guns, they are just very rare.

@Lordlynel Will check when I can.

Are you sure this is working? I tested in devmode and at least mega-cannons seem to never drop barrels, and tanks seem to never drop the machine guns

: o

@rarewhalerw When I have time.

when 1.5?

@MerlinCross The chances are small to not make it OP.

I might be rolling poorly on the drop chance then but I just started a run; still this seems interesting enough to include in my vault based colony

@MerlinCross They won't conflict. Loot from both mods will drop.

so wait how does this work with other mods that give you resources if you deconstruct Junk? The main one I'm thinking of is "Dismantle Ancient Junk"

@rarewhalerw I will be updating my mods when both 1.5 and the new DLC are released.

1.5?

For me it works with vanilla expanded, just mentioning that as well.

Okay, I'll test it again the next time I reload.

@TurtleShroom I had Memes Expanded in my save and it worked okay, I did recieve loot when deconstructing ancient junk. Maybe it's a conflict with something else or a load order issue.
As for the other mod, changing the load order might help, try placing my mod under theirs. If not, tell them to not overwrite the defs.

Also, for reasons I also do not understand, this Mod does not drop loot if you have the Vanilla Factions Memes Expanded Mod.

https://www.steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2636329500

This is because they duplicate many of the Ancient Buildings instead of Patching them.

For reasons I do not understand, this Mod does not work when this Mod is also installed: https://www.steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2574022829 .

That is because its coder has a serious skill issue, and just overwrote the Defs outright.

It'd be pretty cool if there were like trinkets that could be sold? Just junk that has value or so themed around Ancients.

Dubs bad hygiene patch potentially? Ancient soder, thirst feature on that mod, win win

@Scorpio Looks like a load order issue. WIth this load order no errors appear for me:
LWM's Deep Storage
Scrap Collector
Ancient Junk Loot
Will update load order in the About.xml.

last update somehow broke scrap collector mod deep storage patches

Alright - I'll be patient!

@ProfileName I might add patches for Vanilla Expanded mods in the future when I have time.

This is gonna be great! Could this have expanded compatibility with VFE: Ancients? I think that mod adds additional junk. You don't have to, though; it's just that I think it'd be nice.

what OptimusPrimordial said=great idea

@Certain Slime It should be.
