We have cookies!I haven't had much time to play lately and I'm still fiddling with a few settings, but when/if I settle on something that I'm happy with I can certainly contribute.

I think this mod would be nice to have with our other mod to let you deploy injured pilots.

Well if you want it real high just use 20 - that's the stock setting for Gauss Rifle Ammo (and I know that does show up in the stock game every once in awhile... but its VERY, VERY rare).
That's why I'm going to try 10 for awhile (that's twice as rare as many +++ weapons) and see how it works.
Do we know how rarity works with Mechs? I see all lights are 1-2, all assaults are 4-5...
I'm guessing it's the same as weapons (I'd have to dig in with dnspy to confirm for sure).
I think 5 is the max rarity for everything but the gauss rifle ammo in stock (which is 20).
If I have some time I'll see if I can find the code where rarity is used with dnspy
I plan on setting it to 20, then. I want that stuff to be super rare and exciting when you find it. Think about selling a mech or punting morale exciting.
I'll take a look at it. Right now each injured pilot suffers loss of stability. This looks more interesting and may just replace our other mod.
I have had no chance to play since the last tweaks. I was pleased with the AI implementation before, though.

We should probably buff the extended range laser lostech then. It's kind of meh at the moment, I think most people wouldn't use it even if it was free.
Speaking of AI, Is there anything we can do to have the AI value movement over standing still without bulwark? I've seen lots of instances of light mechs standing still firing a few shots at something in range... but not moving, and there is no reason NOT to move and generate those pips.
In general, yes. There are variables that directly weigh the choice to move less and how stubborn a Bulwark pilot needs to be to move, to counter the lean to high movement. Some downsides are excessive jumping by spiders and other units with a lot of JJ and not a lot of heat capacity. Though, there are some new variables that adjust how heavily movement heat is weighted, but I haven't had time to play with any of this in the launch game yet.

FYI my latest version has rarity set to 20 (I had it at 10 and found like 4 lostech items on the first planet I went to!!!!!) if you want to use that (keeps us from having 2 set of weapon defs)
Once again, everything you include from our changes raises my happiness level one pip.
I changed the rarity on some items to play with it, made them purchasable = true when necessary, and nothing changed, they never showed up.
So, saw a command console in salvage screen but it is 2 slots?? Is there something to do with this?
At rarity 10 I had everything show up... we'll have to see how 20 works.
That's the same as the Gauss Ammo - and that VERY RARELY does show up
If you read the description of the command console, once it's removed from a mech it's not installable. 2 slots for a head only item is a way to ensure you can't install it again.

I did a quick survey of the code yesterday to try to find the rarity calculation but didn't see it. I'm not sure if it is exposable. I will look for it again. If you find it, let me know!
Tonight is building up to be a pretty awesome patch. I'm hoping to have my morale adjustments linked to finances in as I have a decent amount of time to work on that. And, I just noticed that Morphyum updated his mech salvaging mod with this:
AssembleVariants - bool - default true - Mechs of the same base model will now be assembled when the max partcount is reached, the actual mech that gets assembled is chance based with more parts = higher chance.
Remember talking about that? Now it can be a reality! So... should we do it? What should we set salvage at now?
