thank you for this

Moonravin
YES, I already went to your discord and saw a warning that your preferred language is Russian.

pardon is this came out ♥♥♥♥... used translator to make it easier to communicat....

Да, мы делаем это. В разделе многопользовательской игры найдите Ad Astra 2 (Less Grind RE2 Scenario) (Progress Saved Between ...), так как это все, что там будет показано, но это то, что вам нужно. Большинство говорят по-английски, хотя я видел по крайней мере одного, который, похоже, мог говорить по-русски.

Ребят а сервер у вас есть по этому сценарию?

Thanks!

Yep, it's there lol

Oh forgot the last and most important number \3450067750 (The Ad Astra 2 Folder)

Added it, thank you.

You removed the Tutorial for file download, make sense.

BUT you still need the Number of the Scenario-Folder in SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\383120 for Multiplayer-Server Setup! Pls add it into description.

Nice, Thanks!

Updated to latest, and no need for additional file downloads!

Whoo-hoo!

@Fairas: I'll look into it. Will have to be for the update after the one that's coming up.

@✠Baron Kantstein✠: Hope you enjoy! Be on the lookout for an update later today!

Just discoverd this, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, this is awesome !

Could you make the Auxiliary CPU Cores (from Salvage Drone Swarm Processor) more powerful?

Compared to CPU Extender (Quantum), they are very weak.

Next AdA release will be full and not all chopped up!!

I'll keep an eye until Friday for RE2 releases. If RE2 doesn't need to update due to the Emp update, I'll work on a release for this weekend.

From now on, you can upload AdA2 as a full pack!
Cheers!!

If you upgrade: The Advanced Pentaxid Tank (Large) does not have an expanded volume capacity.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Hm. Considering we're in Experimental I already for the next release, I'm just gonna wait until that update and *then* catch up.

Thanks!

@Fairas: Wow. Totally missed that...been a bit too busy lol

I'll work on an update this weekend if I can - thank you for bringing it up!

Are you planing to update As Astra to newest RE2 Build?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I'll try.
Have a nice evening.

@lucckey1: Ah, that's an issue in-game, not just AdA-2. You need both EAC enabled and to be playing multiplayer, otherwise scripts don't update. If you want to play with scripts, I suggest you create a local multiplayer game, that way you can play solo with scripts that work.

Hi,
I'm French and I use Google Translate.
I use the "BIG MAC" Admin disassembly scripts from Ashes of the Phoenix.
I also tried with the ASTICS scripts.
Yours faithfully

@lucckey1: Can you give me more information? What scripts are you referring to?

Hello,
The scripts aren't working in this scenario in single-player mode!
What can I do?
Sincerely

@ G-85 (Innectis Gaming): Correct. Only real limit is mass/volume (if enabled), space, and power draw.

so with cpu removed is it basically a free for all put whatever and however many of whatever on your ships? no limits sort of thing?

@Kysus: No worries - and thanks a lot! We're just glad you're having fun :)

understandable,just thought i would ask,if it wasent for RE and ad astra i wouldnt still be playing,the devs havent done much with the vanilla game,not much content,the vanilla is still like early access,the devs should pay you and RE team to finish there game,loving your mod!

@Kysus: Hiya. So, I've thought about it, but ultimately decided not to. My rationale is that I don't want to block folks who don't want/can't afford the DLC, much less force folks to have to get it just for this mod, y'know?

do you have any plans on adding the dark faction to you scenario,it would be nice to be able to reseach the dark faction tech?

@Three Strikes, you dont have anyone helping you that would want to be your admin for your official server? Sure shoot me the discord.

@Aaron: Hey! Nah, I've never considered an official AdA server, mostly because I'm usually swamped with work and schooling. I do, however, know that there's a few folks hosting their own servers - we have a channel on the Discord server precisely for that if you want!

Excuse me sir, just seen this mod. Been looking to get back into Empyrion, i hate being wiped. In fact i quit last time I logged in and found the server wiped...

This is exactly what I wanted, the artificial forced hours of grind in RE2 is not for me anymore, RE2 with increases resource gathering speed (like no mans sky) is what I needed.

Does your community host a multiplayer server for ADA2? Seems people would be interested.

I am LEGIT offering (if you don't have one) to pay for hosting a server (host havoc) or whatever you recommend, which you would have full control over. It is your mod and your vision. You might feel no one wants multiplayer ADA 2... but I would and maybe others! I like the option to be able to team up sometimes, and just because it is multiplayer doesnt mean you cant play totally solo if you want.

Let me know, msg me on steam!

@Holy Fool Sehrael: Depends. There's actually several types of shields also used by enemy POIs. I think you can get away with just changing the ones applicable to your CVs without also doing the same for enemy/POI shields.

Access range, you can use the wireless blocks (there's three tiers, each increases distance). Otherwise, I *think* it's hardcoded, but I'd have to look more deeply into this.

Oh and what do I need to edit to increase the access range for cargo to ships and bases a bit more?

Looking forward to trying your mod by the way, I was returning after a long while where RE1 still was a thing, RE2 is... changed lol

If I edit the shields we can install on our ships - does that affect enemy ships too? I'm looking for a way to practically make ships indestructible through shields (and bases) because that's just what I want ^^

@Three Strikes As I said, this would make all admin cores destructible, so it would be possible to bork important missions by destroying those mission POIs too.

@Distrann: Ooh, awesome. Yeah, I can't do much about multicores, but this is a change that I can do. Lemme do some testing first, so no promises on this being a thing by next release, but I'll try to.

@EverLoyal_001: So, the crew limit is also set in BlockGroupsConfig.ecf. I bet if you make the change there, you'll be good to go on that.

A full limit removal would be out of scope for AdA, but I can show you how to do local changes for it!

@Three Strikes Sir, about the question 2, we can reduce the power consumption of thrusters to be half.

@Three Strikes Appreciate your detailed answer sir!

I found a problem now, I can't actually turn off blocks/devices limit, even I already set it to "False" in Settings before I start a new game,

sir can you please tell me how to completely turn off blocks/devices limit? I wanna add more weapons on ship especially, the question 3 will not be a problem if we can turn off limits.

Oh and I forgot to say, ofc this is global, so if I do this and play like a sledgehammer, I destroy my missions, this is why admin cores exist.
It is more a hack than a solution :-D

Hmm as much as I like RE2, the admin cores in all the abandoned buildings and the resulting repetetive playthrough made me go away from it.
Because of this, at least in SP I made the admin cores all destructible for my game:
I opened the BlocksConfig.ecf in the scenario folder under this path: \Content\Configuration
Then hit Strg + F and entered: IsDestructible
that quickly let me find this entry:
# NPCAdminCore
underneath there was this line:
IsDestructible: false
I changed the line to:
IsDestructible: true
then saved the file.

That did the trick for me.

i know man i am just getting bummed with the game its been my favorite for ten years but so much has changed and so much has not changed if you get my drift. my first steam account i have 3k+ hrs in this game. i appreciate you and all the other modders im just to old to learn that kinda stuff and i am a monkey humping a football when it comes to technical pc stuff. and i do like to escape the real world at times to get a break from the grinding stress from the real world so i understand.

@Maxfaith77: I know. Believe me, I know. The issue is that I'm just one person with a full-time job, doing higher education stuff, having a social life and stuff, and doing a lot of travel for work. This would be a rework of literally every major POI and CV, testing it, and ensuring that future RE2 updates play well with these updates as well. It's...a lot of work that I just cannot do right now.

If the community wants to do it and incorporate it in to AdA (whether we bring it into AdA, or we port AdA into a new mod with these changes), I'd be more than happy to support it how I can.

I just can't do it alone, y'know?

@EverLoyal_001: Thank you for the kind words! Here's yer answers:

1. Nope. Only when I mention it in the update - I will always make sure to leave a message here when the updates happen.
2. This one, you're gonna have to give me a REALLY good argument for, because we have devices that offset energy expenditure (turbines - both wind and plasma, and aux CPU cores). I can get a CV to go into negatives (especially with increased RTG drop rate).
3. I can probably do that for the next update!
4. It's actually RE2b35, I just wrote 33 because I was really tired and not paying attention to that lmao

Hope that answers your questions!

does anyone know of a overhaul mod that has admin cores inactive? hell at this point i would be happy with it being vanilla overhaul as long as the admin cores are not an issue. it boggles the mind as to why would anyone want to make the game to were everything is a exact repeating maze of the same poi. it adds no unexpected excitement to a different play through not even slightly different.
