Changelogs
Version 1.2.0
Bug Fix: Code had a bug with trying to remove more then one tablet if you were supposed to get more then one tech unlock even though you only used one tablet. Thanks to theLapisFox for pointing out the bug that passed my apparently lazy testing.
Version 1.1.0
Bug Fix: You were previously able to change minimum above maximum and Maximum below minimum. Now it will not let you do that and tell you that you are being silly.
Version 1.0.0
Initial Upload
Why are space tablets so fragile and give so little? This will give your tablets a better chance to give you more(or less) technology.
Will give you two options to change how tablets work. A minimum amount it can give you and a maximum(0.25 - 4). Each tablet you consume will give you a random chance between the chosen min and the max.
Its possible to set the minimum and maximum to BELOW 1. Doing so will give you fractional points towards getting a technology. They are kept in the bepinex config file till used. I would recommend against setting them lower then 1, unless you are into masochism(self torture), it could take a while to find enough tablets if you decide to go that route.
Known bugs: If you use a tablet and then load up a save before you used the tablet and use the tablet again... the stored fractional points from previous usage will add up with the current. I don't intend to fix this as its more pain then its worth. Who uses this mod to take advantage of that when you can just set the max per tablet to 4!?
This mod requires BepInEx installed. ConfigurationManager is optional but recommended. This mod can be install by Vortex mod manager but you must already have bepinex installed manually(because the one on Nexus is old). Manual installation instructions:(if you already have bepinex installed, Do step 2 then skip to step 6)
Open your Game directory by going to steam library -> right click on the game -> Manage -> Browse Local Files
Unzip Bepinex directly into that folder.
Run the game and then Exit the game once you see the main menu.
IF you did things right you will see a folder called "plugins" inside the bepinex folder.
NOW you can unzip this mod into the "plugins" folder.
Edit the generated config file (AFTER you run the game once). Bepinex/config/ViroMan.Better_Tablets.cfg if you want to change things... or use the ConfigurationManager in game. If you install the recommended ConfigurationManager when in game you can change any setting you like by pressing ESC first to pause the game and then hitting F5 to bring up the menu. (you can change what F key is used to bring up the menu (AND YOU SHOULD!))
Attention: IF you want to use ConfigurationManager you have to edit your bepinex/Config/BepInEx.cfg file. Find the line "HideManagerGameObject = false" Change it to true. THEN ConfigurationManager will show when you call for it. Thanks to Zuleica for bringing it to my attention that they couldn't get it to show!
