Description
Adds more options to the game to play with.

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.

@Average Forest Fish
I'm here ^^
I can't promise when I will be able to do development work again. I'm sick till end of August at least :x

@TheAngryDoggo
Nopes, this is not a feature of it ^^
But you can enable "Developer Mode" in the game launcher. Look for the little cog icons left and right in the top bar and search for "ground". With this you can place any ground type you want.

Can I use this mod to get rid of infertile terrain? It's literally everywhere. I don't know what's wrong with city map generation in 69 but infertile land is far too proeminent. Especially around rivers.
