    The game crashes before loading, when I replace resource.assets in sunless skies_data folder. BepIndex's last log is Chainloader startup complete Any fixes?

    From what I can tell, I followed the installation instructions (and installed the developer pack), and yet I can't get this mod to load with my game. Does anyone have a screenshot of what the file folder should look like so I can tell if I just put some folders in the wrong place or something?

    The mod is pretty much perfect with most of the content, but we get so many new tools that the game becomes much easier, and there aren't really bigger threats to deal with.

    For example, I have a trade route between Ms Plenty and lustrum going on, and it's absurd how quickly I get cash. Or, I just noticed that my officers boost ship stats, so now my ship is much faster for no additional cost.

    These are all things that I felt were missing in the base game, but it feels overpowering when compared to the threats you face, especially in the reach. Lustrum bronzewood needs a nerf.

    Though I love the costlier fuel prices on some of the further ports, it makes it feel like sunless seas did.

    Problem: Impeller's Lil Brother (sold at London) that was supposed to increase fuel efficiency by 240 (which I assume might be 2.40) instead REDUCES it.... so badly that it goes into negative. Before was about 1.15, afterwards was x-1.55 (yes, that is what it said). Game instantly crashed on trying to set to the skies.

      Issue noted. That's actually a bug with getting such a high fuel efficiency that the game crashes. If you use light locomotive and have too many fuel efficiency modules you will get a crash...

    EDIT: I had some issues getting the ceres.  When restored through the shady gadgeteer in winchester it looked like the agravain and vanished for no reason after swapping locos....seems to work fine when restored in London though?


    On a positive note, I love the overgrown engine questline and the loco itself is great both in concept and design.
    Great work!  Not sure how but there has to be a more stable way of implementing these dry dock ships because god it hurts when they just vanish like that (and are gone for the entire lineage).

      Agreed, that stung losing the Ceres after all the work I put in to get it.

      From what we figured it's something with Retirement/Death that breaks unique vessels in the lineage. We are working on a fix.

    So, I've noted a few things. 

    1) As others have said before, the Ceres quest seems to be bugged, primarily with regards to the Ceres itself.  I don't know what the endgame specs for that engine are supposed to be, but it usually popped up with the Agravain's appearance and module allotments, and once I tried to actually get into it with an older Spatchcock, it bugged and remained an Agravain, forcing me to dump it off to get back into the Moloch I was using prior.  Because it doesn't register as a Ceres, it wouldn't let me drydock the engine to get back into a Spatchcock to get into a different vessel, and the token was lost along with.  The questline itself was fun, and pushed me into getting involved with the Nature Reserve a bit to get started on the chain.  The chain appears to work, it's just the engine itself isn't appearing as intended, since it appears to be replaced by an Agravain, and this is causing the whole end portion of that to fail.  This is probably why some of us wanted the IDs for either the token or the actual ship itself.  I don't know what the specs were to have been but I doubt it was supposed to be an Agravain clone.

    2) saving and quitting to the title screen, but not exiting the game, seems to fail to remove all the prior modifiers that were in effect on an engine.  It also seems to fail to unload the prior modifiers when you swap parts out, leading to a situation where you can't properly control the engine because pressing the strafe button sends you screaming acoss, say, the Blue Kingdom.  However, I have noted so far that once you save and exit the game entirely, it normalizes and you're starting back from the correct numbers.  As a side note, it seems to follow an interesting exponential scale, so you don't notice it until all of a sudden you're going a lot faster than you were before after a given swap or save, when it you wouldn't have noticed it before.  My personal favorite was after I had installed the Stone Pigs and noted I was going far faster sideways than I could have ever hoped to do going straight and using the ramming boost, so I'm scooting around The Reach sideways, trying to make sure I don't crash at high speed sideways into some asteroid.

    Hope these help you iron out problems!

    Where can you purchase Empty Mirrorcatch Boxes in the Empyrean? The only shops I can see are the Bazaar and Illuminated Engineering, as well as the Crescent Cluster equipment shop and the Glassblower's shop/Tradeshouse, but none of these seem to sell them.

      You need high Empyrean reputation to gain access to Nephrite Quarters.

      I'm both an Empyrean Agent in the vanilla Great Game, and have over a hundred reputation with the modded Empyrean reputation quality, but I still can't see it. To be fair, I am cheating quite a bit through save editing, but it's not like I've edited any modded qualities (I wouldn't know the IDs, anyways), so it shouldn't (theoretically) be an issue?

      On a related note, is there a list of Monarch Mod qualities/IDs anywhere? This isn't a bug or anything, just a curious question.

    I don't know whether this has been adressed or not but since i got the Overgrown Engine and restored it, every engine i buy afterwards "turns" into the Overgrown Engine as soon as I enter a Port. At first a thought this was only a Texture issue since the Engine stats (crew, hold, plating, etc.) are correct. However, now all Engines I could buy also only have the same amount of modules as the Ceres / Spatchcock (I don't know which modules the Ceres is supposed to have). In an attempt to solve this, I sold the Ceres at the Royal Society and afterwards bought a new Engine but it still turned back. Any way to fix this?

    Also, because I don't know whether its related or not but sometimes my Engine becomes incredibly fast and the side thrusters shoot me across the entire screen.

    Edit: After restarting the Game it is suddenly back to normal. I'll leave this up in case it's of interest to someone

    I don't know why but it just doesn't work correctly for me. The new shops and the possibility to buy a house appears but the 'K' button just doesn't work. I tried installing it several times and even got the net Framework but no matter what I do, the new hotkeys just don't work. Any suggestions as to why that may be? I believe that I followed your instructions completely. There also isn't anything showing me that I installed the mod when I start the game.

    So I retired a captain while driving the repaired Overgrown Engine......how do acquire a spatchcock again to be able to drydock the engine? Since I cant see the shops that sell the engines while driving it I feel stuck in it.

      If you put Overgrown engine to Your Very Own Dry Dock Hangar you will get Spatchcock for free.

      I don't have the option to do so at the drydock after inheriting the engine. Does the overgrown Engine quest reappear for each captain?

      I also retried the overgrown engine story to see if it would let me reacquire a spatchcock at the Traitors Woods, it does not.
