Description
Adds more options to the game to play with.
Works with existing saves again! =D

For V69

WARNING: There is currently a game breaking bug, where population for regions is 0 when creating a new game with the mod. Fixing this takes longer then expected... sorry =(

The port to version V65 was done with the help of Senso.
Please try to break the mod and report any bugs you find!

The main options are stored in
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\songsofsyx\settings\MoreOptions.txt
These are stored globally and are applied to each game.


Faction boosters and Race likings are stored per save game though. They are located in:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\songsofsyx\saves\profile\More Options\

Sounds


Multiple people complained about certain soundsConfig in the game. For example the sound of wind or ripping ass in your Lavatories. Here you can manipulate each sound I could find in the game with a slider. The percentage will be multiplied with the normal sound level.

Events


You lost your 5th play through, because you were not prepared for that incoming raid?
Toggle certain game eventsConfig and even crank raid chance up to over 9000 when you are masochistic.

Weather


You can't see through all of these snow on the screen? Lower the amount of it!
Tune the amount of weather effects on the screen.

Boosters


Did you know the game had a lot of boosters? Now you know...
Boosters are used to add bonuses to certain aspects of the game. For example the knowledge production.
You can change your or the npc factions boosters.



DISCLAIMERS
  • Changing these values to a high number can slow or even crash your game.

Metrics


Some of you seem to like to play with numbers and there were at least TWO requests for it in the Discord I can remember at least.
So here it is!... Numbers!... The Game!... It allows you to collect and export 1200 time series data points from the game into a CSV file.
I guess there will be a lot of garbage in it, but you guys will figure it out ;D

Races


Manipulate the likings between races as you like! Each configuration is bound to the save file.
You can reuse other configurations from other game saves via the "Load" button.

Advanced


Set the log level, do things and dump the logs to see what might went wrong.
Reset the whole mod by deleting the config file and resetting everything to default.

Blueprint Export / Import


Share your room blueprints with others!

Game Performance Stats


See how well your game is performing and what is going on under the hood.

Crash Detection



Manipulating values in the game can lead to a crash. In that case the mod will backup your configuration and start a restore process the next time you load into a save.

Nice to know

Some configuration is saved per save game, e.g. faction boosters and race likings. Files are stored in %APPDATA%\Roaming\songsofsyx\saves\profile\More Options\.
Depending on your save frequency the size of this folders could grow some MB. I do this, because storing the data into the game save file, will corrupt it whenever I change something in the mods config structure.

Yes; I'm on the discord and mostly active in the modding and code modding channels.
The mod is open source since day one. There's a thread for "More Options" in the mods-testing section. Everybody can contribute at any time. But it's not an easy task. The mod is quiet large with ~50k lines of code. It requires a good understanding of the SoS code base and/or a lot of experience in general Java development.

The modding scene is very small. There are only a handful of coding modders. Most of them don't play the game. So they don't feel the need for this mod. The odds are not favourable =/

I've learned yesterday that it was already possible to use blueprint room accros save but i was actually thinking about a copy area blueprint function.

Don't be hard on yourself if you can't/don't feel like working on this project, you own nothing to nobody, enjoy life with the less worries as possible !

I don't know if you are on the discord on the game but there is a modding section where you can share/pass out the project if you want.

Thank you for the response anyway and have a nice day !

Yes, it is possible to extract this feature into a standalone mod. I still don't know when I'm able to do any development work again though =(

If somebody else want to do it, here's where I added the functionallity: https://github.com/4rg0n/songs-of-syx-mod-more-options/blob/main/mod/src/main/java/view/sett/ui/room/prints/UISavedPrints.java#L67-L83

AFAIK are blueprints shared between saves by default. There's only one file where they are all stored. So you just have to go to your old save, save your room as blueprint and it should be available in your other session.

@Big Saft
I'm sorry =(

Hello, i don't know if it's possible but it would be great to have the Import/Export Blueprints function into it's own workshop page, is that possible ?
And does it mean i can import room layout from one save to the other ? 'Cause everyone (me) is looking for this highly missing function right now but nobody know how to do it.
Thank you !

@Average Forest Fish
Not rly, sorry T_T

@esf349
A hard crash sounds like the game changed something the mod is using or depends on...
I can't tell you when I'm able to do work on the mod again... =(
