That's a shame to hear, I use a lot of your mods and they certainly help with QoL, good luck at Uni

Hi sorry but no for several reasons.

I've not played this for quite a long while and have a new pc minus notes, plans and mod files I had from before, I lost a lot of other stuff too :(
I realistically can't spend the time I did before learning and finding things again as I'm studying at uni and working...and occasionally sleeping.
The whole sketchy paid patch thing the devs have planned this version will be obsolete in the near future and from my understanding of the steam workshop none of these mods will be transferable as the devs are removing this game from the store and adding a new one, breaking the workshop a bit...I won't be getting the new version anytime soon if at all so no idea what'll happen to my mods then.

I love all of your building mods. Is there a chance they could be set to allow construction underground? They work great for me on the surface, but do not appear in the underground build menus.

Any chance of an update to this mod? Seems the new Dev has made a point of breaking older mods

For some reason, a lot of mods I have by you do not show up like the screen shot. No idea what mods might be conflicting - I do remember we had an issue witht he water production dome graphics as well. it happens, they work, thats really, at the end of the day, what matters

Not sure what you mean?
I've just checked and they show up like the screenshots.
Glad they're working, although a bit worrying nobody else mentioned it before!?!?

Oh, just noticed that capacitor and water now look the same (red capicitor)

it still works amazing
tily_lass 24 Nov, 2020 @ 5:13pm 
It works great now, thank you! =D

I've just updated it, can you check if this works properly?
It looks like I left in some code for the water storage, I've removed it and I think that'll fix the issue (it shouldn't have any alternate versions to swap/get confused with, leaving just the model in the screenshots)

great mod! I definitely rely on the capacitor, however the water storage does not work. I build it and once finished it reverts to the standard water tower graphic (I CAN use the skin button to go back to what it is supposed to be) but it does not connect to the popes, at all

This is a stand alone mod, designed to help with air, water and/or power storage as needed. The Black Cubes and MyRo mods contain several buildings and features making use of those resources (I've replied to the other comment re storages on the MyRo mod already)

Can this mod take and store your black boxex and mysterius boxes ?

I've just redone the upload to steam, also reduced the size of the mod while i was there...hopefully it shows up right this time?

Ok, so I disabled it in game then quit the game. Clicked here to Unsubscribe, then Subscribed again. in the Mods Manager it still only shows as V1.1 not 1.2 as listed.

Hi, steam and paradox mods are seperate.
I always try to upload to both, it's literally one button for steam one for paradox mods, but the paradox mods has some quirks stopping some of my mods uploading/updating properly. Use steam for my mods for now until paradox give a decent reply for solutions or there's a clear list of specs for what their mod site requires...
coyote4955 27 Jun, 2019 @ 6:31pm 
Sorry to double post, couldn't find a way to edit my previous. Can anyone tell me if mods added via steam / in-game Paradox Manager get Auto Updated?
coyote4955 27 Jun, 2019 @ 4:59pm 
I subscribed to this, but it does not show up in the ingame Paradox Mod Manager - only the V1.1 appears.
What do I need to do?
Dex 25 Jun, 2019 @ 8:03am 
your mod is awesome :)
many many many thanks

This is next on my overhaul and update list.
I'll make custom build menu icons and add these to a sub menu for convenience and to prevent clutter. I'll also sort out the upgrade icons too.
I'll also have a look and customise the looks a bit more as well.

Not sure where that guys comment went (and appears mine didn't post...)

Liquid can be compressed however it takes more energy compared to gas.
It's about the molecules, liquids aren't as compact as solids so there is room for compression.
Hydraulics use oil because they are thicker, closer to solids in a way.
The upgrades for the water building focus on increasing capacity and removing dirt, dust and metals to allow for better compression.
Hope this clarifies the thinking behind this mod ☺

this is really neat, thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, not sure how I forgot to put the capacities in the description, I've added them now.

I used the artificial sun building for a few reasons:
>> the size of the building, felt it had to be a big building for the total capicity
>> the look of the building, all the pipes and tubes fits the storage theme
>> the artificial sun is the end product, these buildings test the different needs in preparation for it (storaes water, handles power)

Captain Seasick 29 Jan, 2019 @ 4:44am 
What're their capacities?
