@Phantomcreator 42 how was that coming along since 3.1 changed some of the ways the game reads anomalies.

Hey, sorry, totally missed the previous comment! Go for it, have a go at stuff, I totally dont have time to touch this mod at the moment (I'm being smashed by work, family and general exhaustion - I barely even have time to play games at the moment, let alone mod them!). Would be cool to see this working properly again :)

@Phantomcreator42 till you get permission, make two mods, the update of this one and a version that is based on that. From Jonny's first reaction i would guess he is ok with you adding additional content, but being respectful seems the way to go. Still i would love to see it done so don't hold back mate :)

Sorry to bother you again, but I was thinking, see I was wondering if it would be fine for me to add entirely new content of my own that fits in with the theme in my version or not. I originally started the project as I simply loved your mod, and it caused a sequence of events in which I learned a great deal about modding, and I was thinking, that there is a missed opportunity: A relic that is the in-universe hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. The fictional guidebook that the first book in the series is named after. I know someone who can make pretty good icons, the only issue would be the writing for the event. I was thinking, despite being busy, if you had the time to write an event chain for it I would greatly appreciate it. (I in no way can imitate how you wrote the original events, I tried.)

I don't know if I could make digs out of them, messing with special projects alone is new to me, but I miss this mod. Thanks for giving your permission to make an up to date version of it.

Go for it! I never quite got some of the events to work either. I guess some could also be turned into Archaeological digs these days too.

so the mod doesnt function in 3.0 and later so I was wondering if it would be okay for me to make an updated version. I'm not good with event modding so it would take me a while but I would like to try.

it actually functions fine though, shouldnt need updating till 3.0 with the trend of major overhaul updates happening at every whole number if looked at as a decimal value. I play with it constantly.

Can you please update this to latest version of game?

Good to see you back in action.

Now updated to 2.3 and should work nicely.

At some point when I'm not smashed with work. As far as I know, it works fine, except for one of the choices in an event not giving the cash it says it does. I've been doing my few bits of playing with it enabled with no crashes

any chance of this being updated for 2.3?

downloading this now
praise be to zarquan

Sorry, been doing a whole bunch of computer modelling stuff at work and having the house rebuilt so coding whilst exhausted at home doesnt hugely appeal at the moment :)

We all hope for that soon :)

Cheers all, it's all a bit busy at home with Christmas etc at the mo, but I will get round to fixing shit soon!

It shouldn't work in 2.2. They redid the scripts of how you add and subtract resources. add_energy = x doesn't work anymore. It needs to be add_resource = { energy = x }

Works fine with 2.2.3. However in the crashed megafreighter event. If you take the get cash option, you don't get any cash.

Seems to work with 2.2.1 - had some events from this mod in my play yesterday.

When I get the chance - you could try it without me tarting about with it - most of the time it should just work (even with the red !)

please update to 2.2 :)

:) thanks for the thanks! I will get round to writing the rest of the planned anomalies at some point

Thank you Johnny Googs for you work on this mod and the updates to fix it, I love the hitchhikers series so I apprciate all the work you do on this mod

Updated - let me know if you find any bugs!

Yeah, all borked at the moment, I need to figure out how the new anomaly structure works... can't promise a timeline at the moment, as there is work and family stuff to deal with too!

please update mod version to 2.1

Yep, a reference to the start of the second radio series. Still have to sort out some dodgy formatting on that one though

Is the crashed megafreighter full of issues of Playbeing from this?

Nope, it's literally just new event files.

Does this mod change or modify any vanilla files?

Just found God's Last Message to His Creation. Too bad my scientist couldn't handle the strain. Instant substance abuser.

Yeah, it's in both the radio series (on the planet Brontitall with the giant statue) and in the books on the Frogstar world B (with the Total Perspective Vortex).

Glad you found one!

thx for update

Think I got one. The Shoe Event Horizon. However, I don't remember it from the books.

Updated!

Will do! Just need to force check the anomalies... Should be two new ones as well when I confirm they work

please update to 2.0 :)

I am runing 1000 stars and 1.25x habital planets. maybe I have just been unlucky.

Strange - with the previous but last update I doubled the likelihood of them appearing. I tend to get 1 or 2 in each game - are you running small galaxies or low planet numbers (I've been playing with 1000 stars and 1.75x habitable planets). They are also now set so that the AI can find them, so if you're not quick off the mark on surveying, they might all be being found by the AI instead.

They seem very rare. I see 1 in 4 or 5 games.

Yep, I havent updated it specifically to 1.9 (as I got halfway through a few more anomalies and ran out of time for the moment) but I've been playing with it with no problems

It it compatible with latest patch??

Good to see this one updated.

Worse!

"poetry" RIP sanity - or it's not vogon hopefully

Hurrah! I think they might still need a slight boost to the likelihood though...

I Just found the Sirius Cybernetics Complaint Department. So they are out there.

An awful lot of solar sailors around as well.

Ditto (although I still seem to get the same one about class 12 asteroids about 20 times....)
