About this mod
Reduces the hassle of making and carrying devices like beacons and harvesters. Stack sizes increased to 20 and 10.000 for ammo.
- Permissions and credits
This mod allows you to craft all portable devices from the pictures using only one of two items. When you pick it up again, the item goes back to your inventory. This greatly reduces the needed inventory space, because you don't have to carry your refinery, beacon etc. around in a separate slot anymore, nor will you be bloated with microchips, ion batteries and the like. You can carry these new components in stacks of 20. It is not a cheat because you do have to craft them beforehand, and they are not necessarily cheaper than the device you want to build.
Picking up devices has been disabled so you must use the delete option from the building menu.
There is an aditional version that allows you to carry all items in stacks of 20 per inventory slot.
These are the two new items:
The field kit item is used to build simple devices like the beacon, refiner, message module etc. You can make it from basic resources found on any planet. Devices cost just a single field kit.
Cost
2 ion batteries, 2 metal plates, 3 carbon nanotubes
or 50 cobalt, 140 ferrite dust, 150 carbon
Full stack of 20
40 ion batteries, 40 metal plates, 60 carbon nanotubes
or 1000 cobalt, 2800 ferrite dust, 3000 carbon
That may sound like quite a lot and for some items it is indeed more expensive. But one full stack might well last for the rest of the game, and all these items can be bought if you don't like mining.
This is for the more expensive devices: exocraft stations, automatic mining units, O2 and atmospheric harvesters, underwater shelter. You can only build these once you have obtained the indium drive, as indium is not for sale. Be sure to set your terrain manipulator radius to small when mining to get the most out of each deposit.
Cost
125 magnetised ferrite, 125 indium, 2 microchips (-> 80 chromatic metal, 2 carbon nanotubes)
Full stack of 20
2500 magnetised ferrite, 2500 indium, 40 microchips (-> 1600 chromatic metal, 40 carbon nanotubes)
Stack size increase
The download also contains a version that increases stack sizes to 20 where applicable. Ammo is increased to 10.000.
Substances that normally stack to 250 are not affected.
Note that if you ever disable this mod and save your game, the field kits will disappear and excess item stacks will be lost.
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
