The Deranged Industries: Rebalance (TDI: Mod pack)

---

Use at your own risk.
This is a modpack of all TDI mods. It is also a testing ground for new alterations, and values can change extremely rapidly.

I may also add, at random, other "Rebalances".

The latest update has changed a LOT. Several of the numbers provided below are no longer accurate, and there are now tweaks to a huge number of other systems as well.

These changes are intense, and, while not game breaking, they will definitely change the way the game plays.

I will update the list of changes for this mod after updating the my other stand alone mods, which may take a few days.

Individual TDI mods:

• Efficient Factories
  
• Ammo Based Point Defense
  
• Flak as a Projectile
  
• Combat Overhaul
  
• Advanced Missile Launcher

New Range Classifications:

• Short range: < 300 meters
  
• Mid range: 300 - 600 meters
  
• Long range: 600+ meters

Combat changes:

• Cannons: Altered to be mid range slow rounds, and a slight accuracy increase.
  This is to provide stations a way to provide some degree of fire support, and cancel out-ranging them with everything but PD.
  
• Laser weapons: Stay roughly the same. Max-short range.
  
• Railguns: Range increased to be high-mid range to long range, along with a dramatic speed increase.
  
• Beams: Range increased to 500. Damage drops off to 40%, but at minimum range damage is buffed 30%. Making this beams a vicious close to mid range weapon system.
  
• HE Missiles: Bumped well into long range, and velocity compensation upgraded to better hit targets.
  
• EMP Missiles: Bumped into long range.
  
• Nuke Missiles: Bumped into low long range.
  
• Vanilla PD: Slight range increase, hefty anti-shot damage increase, and better accuracy.
  
• Sensors: Roughly doubled sensor ranges.
  
• Drag and dampening decreased by 25%.

Todo:

• HE, Nuke, and EMP missile health.
  In comparison to HE missiles, which disappear in the face of PD, EMP and Nukes are literally tanks.
  I will probably increase HE health, and decrease EMP/Nuke to be more in-line with 3x - 5x the health of where HE ends up.

• Larger, faster firing missile launcher.
  
• Equipped with an auto-loader.
  
• Four available spaces for ammunition.
  
• Expensive to build, and more expensive to unlock.
  
• First of a series of advanced tech versions of weapons.

• Added ammo based Point Defense Cannon.
  
• One ammo feeds the PDC with 30 rounds.
  
• Two ammo is loaded at a time, meaning the turret has 60 round clips.
  
• Roughly twice as effective as vanilla PD.
  
• Needs roughly 2 crew members to provide consistent ammunition.

• Flak now utilizes projectiles.
  
• Flak now fires twice as fast, but maintains vanilla DPS, and has slightly higher range.
  
• Flak projectiles have a 'proxy burst' effect that arms after 30 meters.
  
• Due to the higher rate of fire, flak cannons now require twice as much ammunition to operate.

• Colored ore icons, similarly to color-coded resources.
  
• Increased density of ores in asteroids by 50% - 100%.
  
• Increased sell price of ores to better balance between ores and products with the factory changes.
  
• Reduced asteroid generation to roughly 1/3 of vanilla. (This is for performance)
  
• Tweaked, and included mineable megaroids. Specifically, reduced ore density, and added sulfur and hyperium.

• Uranium factories: Now consume 4 Uranium Ore to create 4 Refined Uranium.
  
• Diamond factories: Now consume 5 Carbon per Diamond. (was 20)
  
• Hyper Coil factories: Now consume 1 Coil and 1/2 Copper Ore per Hyper Coil.
  
• Steel factories: Now consume 1/4 Iron Ore per Steel Plate.
  
• Coil factories: Now consume 1/3 Copper Ore per Coil.
  
• Tristeel factories: Now consume 1/2 Tritanium Ore per Tristeel plate.
  
• Processor factories: Now consume 2 Coils, and 1 Gold Ore to create a Processor.

I have not altered ammo factory outputs because they produce a disproportionate amount of ammo from ore in comparison to normal factories, and altering this can directly affect ship builds and combat balance.

Got a suggestion? Add it to the comments.
I am looking for basic improvements I can make which can improve the general feel of the game.

Thanks Walternate Realities, for making your game moddable.
