This mod seems to have stopped working ever since the Fieldwork update was released. Grid no longer auto claimed when all of the above listed blocks (remotes, control seats, etc) have been claimed. Have had to basically hack everything with computers like you would in vanilla.

Since players capture blocks in the process of taking over the grid, that would mean at the second captured block it would crash for everyone. But I've not been able to reproduce that. Capturing works smoothly.

Please provide the actual crash log.

method `TakeOver.IsvalidNPCGrid()` crashes in the main thread when the subject NPC grid contains any blocks owned by a player

you'll need to claim the grids PCU, it's on the top right of the info tab

so im using this, but when i takeover something, i get ownership, but looking at armour blocks, it says 'unowned blocks will despawn' with a countdown, and when the timer runs out everythign dissapears! i had full ownership, double checked, tried using console to make sure everythign was mine. but its happening everytime to npc encounters now.... dunno whats going on

not sure if this is working any more with the new update i love using it

hi for some reason the beep sound is not working on dedicated servers? can you please verify that and let me know whats wrong?

Thank you for the clarification, now that you say so, it's true that the ship I tried to grind also had a cryo chamber on it as well.

@WHITE
The remote control is not the only thing you need to take over, its all control blocks - seats/cockpits, and cryo chambers, because of how SE made them.

I have noticed that some ships doesn't give up ownership when grinding down the remote controller, is that normal? Some do works so I was wondering if it was luck based.

The beep audio is nice, but with how terrible the Directional Audio is in this game, Sucks trying to find the beep that is in the right and left ear no matter what way I look

crashes whenever i capture a harpy. didnt always do that

Is this not shown in the mod selection screen?

That makes sense. It also makes it pretty complicated if you play with AwwScrap though lol

Indeed, its the vanilla block capture mechanic. All this mod does is reduce the number of blocks you need to do this to.

Just to clarify, I need to actually grind the blocks down, then weld them back up to take ownership?

Hey nevcairiel! I love this mod! Do I have permission to use this code in one of my modpacks published unlisted? It is a lot easier as a server owner to add scripts into a mod that is already in the config instead of adding mods to a server.

understood, ty

This intentionally comes without highlights to focus on the exploration of the ship or base. Only the remote control has a beeping audio cue, since its typically burried - the other blocks are more commonly open.

Load order does not matter.

Also does it matter if MES or other NPC mods are before or after this one in the load order?

is there an highlight option to see the systems i need to grind?

Could you remove (or create another mod) the remote block in the list of blocks to hack please?

Very good mod, could u tho tell me how to highlight the blocks / what mod I need to get for that? Thanks in advance

Hi, could you confirm the remote block still emit some sound? I don't hear it

i believe the highlighted blocks is from buildinfo, which shows where a particular grid is where in a green box, is that it? because i do not see that here

The switch from Hostile takeovers to cooperative NPC left me with the components still being highlighted as well (even after removing hostile takeovers from my mod list) assuming it's because the ship had already loaded before I switched mods

Cooperative NPC Takeover doesn't add any glows. Are you sure you properly removed the other mod?

I had another takeover mod (Hostile Takeovers) but found the glowing blocks to be pretty immersion breaking, so I switched over to yours - only to find that the glow is still there! Is there something I can do to remove it?

NikiSm, check if the pilot seat you are trying to weld isnt a modded seat with a pilot inside. Pilot is an uncraftable component and it grinds to scrap so youll have to place your own seat

The spinning kills me ofter too is ther a way (mod) to stop that?

После разборки кресла, начинаю снова делать кресло что ломал. Крафт останавливается на 70% и дальше не идет. С чем может быть проблема?

trying my best to reach the remote control, but the enemy ship just turns very fast and kills me by slamming me into walls while im inside lol

ok, ty

Existing save is fine!

can i use that mod in a existed save? or do i need to restart?

I agree. I love exploring NPC ships anyways so not a big deal for me. I just wanted to know if the mod worked. I will listen to the beep to know but I think it works perfectly. Thank you very much. Some ships have too many guns and removing all of it is annoying and makes no sense. This mod is a blessing.

"But the remote control will beep, so you can find it audibly"

Me, who plays on realistic sound settings:

Because highlights are terribly immersion breaking. There is other mods that do that if thats what you prefer.

Me taking years finding the remote control on a super large grid capital ship :( why no highlight

No, blocks are not highlighted. But the remote control will beep, so you can find it audibly. Control Seats / Cryo Pods should be relatively easy to find, and exploring and clearing a grid is still part of the game.

Does this mod highlight the blocks I need to grind down (So I can find them easily)? Installed it and idk if it works correctly or not.

Any chance you could add this to mod.io for Xbox and Playstations users? I have a dedicated server running on my laptop that I would love to use this with.

FINally! god... its so annoying to grind everything, in the past before hacking was a thing, you could just take the ships entirely... the hacking feature is one of my most hated features in the game.

Probably best quality of life mod

Based mod.

Please provide the full error, so I can fix it!

Had to revert back to the original mod, the game was constantly crashing with the error - System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. -
