O_o

prod-saturnorb is the same as Superbia
prod-trimurti was to replace Vishnu, and now that it has made a return, it'll simply feel like a copy.
prod-z has been revamped to Cloister
prod-perfectkhaos is the same as Avyssos.

Remember, a LOT of item ids were changed over the years. They're not gone, just remade.

If you feel like something of mine was missing, you now know why.

Okay, there's something I've always suspected but couldn't confirm until I found some old backup files...

There's some items from this mod that I used to love but they are gone now!

[22:28:16.677] [Error] Could not instantiate item '[prod-saturnorb, 1, {}]'. (ItemException) No such item 'prod-saturnorb'
[22:28:16.678] [Error] Could not instantiate item '[prod-trimurti, 1, {}]'. (ItemException) No such item 'prod-trimurti'
[22:28:16.706] [Error] Could not instantiate item '[prod-z, 1, {}]'. (ItemException) No such item 'prod-z'
[22:28:16.708] [Error] Could not instantiate item '[prod-perfectkhaos, 1, {}]'. (ItemException) No such item 'prod-perfectkhaos'

Are they going to be implemented again? If not, is there a repository with these old features?

Yes.

The keys themselves had their item ids changed. They are now codices instead of materials.

Oh, that's great! Hmmm I think something happened though, I had a lot of "keys" that turned into perfectly generic item, I got scared for a second but I think it's because of this update

@Albion The Asinine
@myt0

1.22.0 is now out, and with it some edits to several items! Refer to the changelog!

Don't worry. I am gonna do an update quite soon that will help clear this up.

I'm not sure if I found the correct thing because I have many mods, but I got a "Collatse Aperture" - A machine that brings ideas into reality - and I think it belongs to this mod. What am I supposed to do with this? It seems like it just has 3 input slots and 1 output slot, but I have absolutely no idea what to put in. I don't know what to do.

Possible immersion update:

For those concerned with having no guide to this mod, don't fear! I am in the process of updating it, and this update is slated to end this issue!

Unfortunately, it's difficult to actually do that without breaking the immersion/mystery of the mod. I might revamp a codex or two to help with this confusion.

okay so after futzing around with the mod for a while? overall it's a pretty interesting revamp to the old system. honestly my only nitpick is just me wishing that there was more of a proper guide to show what keys and materials are specifically used to produce whatever weapons are available.

Look in the core of every planet, same as Core Fragments, and if you see a white glow surrounding black, that's Esoquartz. It splits into one or two of the three ores.

okay so i've been futzing about with the new things within this mod and i am honestly completely lost... i've been trying to find where the 3 main ores koichi asks for are but i haven't had any luck with trying to find where they are and have zero idea as to where i should start looking.

It does, but it wasn't intended in the recent update. Next one will remove it.

Does this mod add an NPC to the Outpost? In that case, is possibly bugged in Anom Outpost?

Unfortunate coincidence, Hive biomes make me extremely uncomfortable. I'll figure something out though-thanks for the reply!

It's a microdungeon. Look for the Hive Subbiome. They are a lot more common there.

Is there an easier way to get Orothaum than the dungeons on midnight planets? ^^; I've scoured at least 12 planets looking for it and haven't found anything. I'm guessing it's a microdungeon from the other stuff you said, though? If it were a big dungeon it would be a lot easier to find.

Ore Transmutation at that level will work a lot like Terraria's shimmer.

@Prodigy Yes!We need the Ore and Key conversion now we could use the combination of vanilla ore

Not at the moment, but this is a good idea. I'll add a few conversion recipes to the Aperture.

That said, it does require the T2 version to make Esoquartz in the first place, so I will put those recipes at T2.

@Prodigy Can we convert between the following minerals or the other material ? Terminal Hyperborean Auric.Because it's a bit annoying to mine them with extremely lower spawn rate

No need to apologize. Just note where to discuss details.

@Prodigy okay.Sorry for causing trouble for you

Esoquartz generates in veins of only one to two, but it glows white.

Also, if you're playtesting, there's a discussion for that. Let's move it to there.

@Prodigy looks like Esoquartz wont be spawned on multiplayer's planet . could you check that out.

The recent update is actually the last one for now, as I am taking a hiatus from it. I have to relearn how to actually mod on Windows.

@Prodigy I suspect that if I don’t grind it deliberately, I won’t be able to get all the parts for the altar even in the late game.Maybe add the weapon tooltips on next update ?that will be awesome

It was kind of the intent. The mod's content begins with the early game, but it doesn't take effect until the late game.

@Prodigy fine.you make stuff much more difficult to grind. took me 70+ challenge door to accquire the whole two pieces of The Chaos Altar. drop 3 body and 1 bottom in total .almost drives me crazy

Abandoned Labs are semi-rare structures. You need to scour a bunch of Midnight planets to find them.

@Prodigy where to find the Orothaum ? Abandon Lab wont spawn on Midnight now.is it More Planet Info compatible ?

@Prodigy okayyyy

@ErickD

1. Cal is listed as a human.
2. He doesn't give quests or any sort of tasks. His sole purpose in the mod is to act as a tutorial NPC, kinda like that receptionist in the intro if you interact with her.

@Prodigy Okay.i try the command like /spawnnpc avian prodigyoutpost then Cal showup.
But he will only give me some tips and will not give me any tasks or Quest. is that normal ?

@Prodigy as i use the /spawnnpc prodigyoutpost and an ERROR showup:
You must specify a species and NPC type to spawn.
can u give me a valid command ?

doesnt work, but thanks anyway, ill just wait for someone to do a patch...

Okay, I listed in the description that this mod is incompatible with any mod that rearranges the outpost.

First, there are no quests in this mod, but if you want to spawn him in, try this:

/spawnnpc prodigyoutpost

can i start the quest via commands? i have anoms outpost overhall and the npc wont spawn...

He is a robed figure holding a gun of some kind.

Cant find NPC

I have no clue how to do that

The default Outpost has him. If you want to make a patch for Anom's, be my guest.

Hey im using Anom's outpost overhaul and i can't find the the cal npc?

This'll be the last update for a while, unless if something comes up.

oooh another rewrite

Good to know. I'll change the projectile name.

This mod duplicates the name whipcrackcosmic.projectiles in FU mod.

From the Changelog:
"Please keep in mind that this update may cause some crashes. Be prepared to expect them if you have any of the removed or internally changed items, with PGIs in place."

It's very likely that you're looking at "prod_latharium" which has been changed to "prod_xothite." If you looked at the recent changelog, internal asset names were changed for Xothite, which was internally still called Latharium. Just trash any x-items and re-mine the materials.

Now, I have the changelog for that exact reason, so just give it a look and see what changed.

@Prodigy no. i was playing as Futara Dragon and found that Latharium can be mined .which item icon is an X.
