ACS - Advanced Commercial Server

Description
Advanced Commercial Servers Mod

Welcome to the Advanced Commercial Servers Mod! With this mod, you can elevate your RimWorld experience by generating various resources using servers!

Generatable Resources
Using the servers, the following resources can be generated:


  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Jade
  • Plasteel
  • Steel
  • Industrial Components
  • Spacer Components
  • Neutroamine
  • Uranium

Update April 2024

- Updated to version 1.5
- Customizable resource list available in mod settings
- Fixed heat pusher issue
- Adjusted resource generation

Details:
1. Customizable Resource List in Mod Settings:
You can now add any item to your generation list via the mod menu. However, be careful as some items may not function correctly when spawned or are not intended to be spawned this way. Proceed with caution.

2. Heat Pusher Issue Fixed:
Previously, all Server Racks shared the same heat emission, even when empty. Now, each Rack pushes heat according to its power consumption.

3. Adjusted Resource Generation:
Generation is now relative to the market value of each item, to account for items significantly more expensive than Spacer Components.


Generating Mechanism
The servers allow you to generate all the listed resources provided there is sufficient power supply to support the operation. The only limiting factor in the resource generation process is the summed calculating power of the servers in the server rack, meaning more advanced servers will enable quicker and more efficient resource generation. Properly managing the power consumption, calculating power, and heat production of each server is crucial to maximize resource generation efficiency.

Servers
There are three types of servers available in this mod. You can put up to 12 servers in a single server rack. The power consumption, calculating power, and heat production will sum up in the server rack.

Server Types & Details
Basic Server
- Description: A basic server useful for typical operations.
- Cost: 50 Steel, 3 Industrial Components
- Power Consumption: 200 Watts
- Calculating Power: 1 THz
- Research Prerequisites: ServerBasic

Advanced Server
- Description: An advanced server with higher processing power and storage.
- Cost: 70 Steel, 5 Industrial Components, 2 Spacer Components
- Power Consumption: 500 Watts
- Calculating Power: 3 THz
- Research Prerequisites: ServerAdvanced

Glitterworld Server
- Description: A highly advanced server originating from the most technologically advanced worlds. Has unparalleled processing speed and storage.
- Cost: 50 Plasteel, 5 Industrial Components, 5 Spacer Components
- Power Consumption: 1200 Watts
- Calculating Power: 8 THz
- Research Prerequisites: ServerGlitterworld

Heat Production
The heat production of each server is directly related to its power consumption in watts.

Boosting Research Speed
All operating Server Racks combine their research speed. By positioning one adjacent to a High-Tech Research Bench, it can tap into the collective research speed of all Server Racks.

Note:
To utilize the servers effectively, make sure to properly manage the server rack’s accumulated power consumption, calculating power, and heat production. Enjoy managing your advanced commercial servers!

I'm working since a few weeks on a refactor that is also tackling a few bugs. But I'm currently on holiday for an additional week.

Update please! Its sooo good, basically adds energy revenue in the game.

Hello, any chance that the ThingDef list not being saved/loaded bug can be fixed?
Not a massive breaking problem as the default list is good enough, but it would be a nice QoL to not having to redo the settings and lists on reloading a save.

I will have a look this weekend and fix it :)

Same as below, added thingdefs do not persist between sessions.

is there a way to save" ThingDef"
Takel 28 Dec, 2024 @ 8:58am 
Edited ThingDef lists aren't being exposed in the modsettings.

You can edit the list which changes the allowable outputs for ACS, and it will function within the current RimWorld session. However as the list isn't being synched to the modsettings, the edited list won't persist between RimWorld sessions and all the servers will reset to default (silver) on reloading the save, and the valid list of items will revert to the default.

Hi, I noticed an incompatibility between this mod and RimFridge. After loading a save, server racks will consume no power.

Steps to reproduce:

Load order:
- Harmony (v2.3.1.0)
- Core
- Royalty
- Ideology
- Biotech
-Anomaly
- ACS - Advanced Commercial
- RimFridge: Now With Shelves! (v1.2.0, https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2898411376 )

1. Enable dev mode and use the Dev quicktest option in the main menu. Use the "Spawn Thing..." dev tool to spawn in a ServerRack (minified) and a ServerBasic.
2. Place the server rack and install one basic server. Note that the server rack's "Power needed" reads 200 W.
3. Make a save then load this save.
4. The server rack now needs 0 W.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 but without RimFridge enabled, noting that the power needed does not change after loading the save.
