For some reason when I get to the cryopod dropping it bugs out and does an endless spam. Everything was working before but then I swapped a few mods out and started a new game and now it wont work.

It highly depends on the map.
Crash on a map without a lot of burnable tiles and you have a huge store of goodies.
Crash on Grassland for example and a lot of the goodies will likely burn up.

I tried playing on hard mode. But the crashes just keep happening. The whole map is scattered with metal chunks, medicine, food and other goodies. Is it bugged or did you make it so easy on purpose?

Am I ok to edit and reupload this scenario? It's perfect for a themed playthrough I have going and want to share with people.

Can you make it so the Cube Scultures from Anomaly are excluded from the Art Containers? They seem to be very common, and they are basically trash. Their defnames are DirtCubeSculpture StoneCubeSculpture SandCubeSculpture and ScrapCubeSculpture

@GwinnBleidd
Thanks very much for the update!

interesting fact but i actually think i found a mod that has an incompatibility.
Not in an 'it will error' way but it functionally messes with things.
The mod is called Stray Bullets (Continued).

during crashlanding at the very beginning:

Exception ticking Bullet_CryptoSleepPod58970 (at (121, 0, 226)). Suppressing further errors. Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I tested things for a while and everything seemed to be working fine! Thanks for the update! <3

One small exception: sometimes an error would pop up after a trade goods block crash, usually referencing Biotech reproductive items, like embryos. It didn't seem to have a major effect beyond the popup though!

Tried to spawn Ship_Beam_CrashLanded46052 out of bounds at (162, 0, 247) (out of bounds because size is (2, 6)).

hell yeah, I encourage everyone drop some reward points for those who updates the mods so the community could thrive on.

Updated to 1.6.
I don't play much RimWorld these days, so I didn't test it too much. Please report back any issues

YESSSS thank you for the update! I adore this mod, it is genuinely my favorite way to start a new colony

Mod hasnt been updated in a year. If someone wants to update it, just go for it.

same. best way to start a game. hope someone updates to 1.6. plz and ty.

my favourite way to start. 1.6? 🙏

@star yes

Is it compatible with Multiplayer?

is it me or do crashes only seem to hit the top half of the map? I'm not sure if it's another mod messing with it but it seems like each time i try and test it, all crashes just happen at the top half, nearly always top middle or top left.

Is it a bug if the crashlanding hard is still happening on the start of the 3rd day? I've had 42 crash pieces before it ended Aprimay 3rd 8am

Neurotrainer crash spawn none of them

just run away from the reactor and use the built in button to create an exclusion zone...

I'd like to play the game, not watch 5 people die of radiation poisoning within minutes of starting.

Also would like the reactor's radioactivity when Rimatomics is involved to be decreased a bit. As is, my pawns can't manage to deconstruct it before getting a lethal dose. Even if it lands close by enough that everyone is in its area of effect .

Any chance of adding alternate crashing ship parts if SOS2 is installed? Feels strange to see vanilla ship parts still show up.

does this mod generate a "Wasteland (soil)" on the ground? I have one in a bad spot and I can't seem to figure out how to remove it... There used to be a patch to have it compatible woth fertile fields, but this spot doesnt seem to be.

How does this mod function with the Archonexus quest? Like when you accept to build a new colony?

Tribal start is still impossible. Even with the damage dialed down - pretty much every tribal is downed or dies on start. I think it might be because of Yayo Combat / CE armour causing tribal armour or bare skin to take excessive damage? The other starts don't have this problem, assuming because their actual clothing provides enough protection.

I have a feature request:

I like to imagine a huuuuuge ship broke up on re-entry so I use dev mode and start my games with 50 crash landing's simultaneously (It's a slide show) but this results in me needing to manually close hundreds of letters (2300 letters at the time of me writing this, but I did 100 simultaneous crashes this time x.x, 50 is a better number I think.)

Would it be possible to add an option for "No letters" or something similar please?

@Saturn character editor

@Turkwise Oh i see ... I'm not very aware about which mod can be detrimental for others. Do you know a better alternative to Prepare Carefully which is compatible with all of Vanilla Expanded mods ?

Why are you still using Prepare Carefully, its an actively harmful and broken mod.

Love the idea, but after 2 attempts with tribal start I give up. No chance of survival in both cases, game over in minutes. Shame.

Hello ! I have played this mod a little bit and i love the new style of the gameplay, so thanks for updating this mod :3
I just have a tricky issue ... I would like to have fun with a scenario I have just created with EdB (Prepare Carefully) by using my own crew, and right now the majority of the colonists in the crew are "left behind", so i would like to know if it's possible to have only pawns I have created in the CryptoSleepBlockCrash event and not random colonists created by Rimworld. Idk if I am understandable enough ? (I'm french, so i apologize for my English >.<)
Thanks for reading my post and have a nice day ! :D

Neutrotrainer ship crash never generates loot. Just the crashed metal scraps.

@crockett to the best of my recollection, both prisoners block and weapons deck block are still there. But when ship crashes, there's a list of guaranteed blocks, and a list of random blocks, and both prison and weapon deck are not on the guaranteed list, so they may not appear.
If you want them badly, you can find the "StartingCrashTemplates.xml" file and edit it to adjust the chances ("partWeightCoefficient") or add them to a guaranteed list

Question, I played this mod like a year ago and I crash landed and had weapons also a prisoner block crashed and you had to battle the prisoners.

I just did a test run yesterday because I haven't used the mod in a while and I didn't get any weapon drops at all. I had some Waster pawns who were supposed to come with tea & flake but none of it was at their crash site.

Also noticed there wasn't a prisoner block, just multiple crashes of neutral pawns.

Is it just random what crashes or did the weapons & prisoners get taken out?

@GwinnBleidd
I should have said 'doesn't seem to work for me' XD I have hundreds of mods, but I can't think of any that would alter that specifically, it seems very specific to this mod. In saying that mod interactions can be very very weird sometimes!

@Askesis. That's odd, it worked for me last time i tried it.
Will try again a bit later

The "Fill the starting colonists block" option doesn't seem to work. Set the number of colonists in one block to 8, checked this option, still only get 5. Tried 3 or 4 times now.

I did some testing with dev mode to see what was causing the problem. It doesn't seem to be a mod conflict. I've seen that there are two cryptoblock crash incidents in the Incident Tab of dev mode. One of them generates a blue message about the crash and spawns the injured Pawns normally. The other one is a brown message and doesn't spawn anyone.

@Scrolla von Wolfenchan this is a new one... Sorry to hear that. Sounds like some mod conflict

Not sore what might be causing it. Cryptocaskett blocks are crashing but not spawning any Pawns upon impact. I've got no errors or problems. I've tried reloading several times and still no one is spawning from the crash. The other ship parts like food containers are working fine though.

@Sona play around with mod setting, depending on mod setting pawns in other sleeping blocks may or may not belong to your colony. Particularly, make sure that "All pawns on the ship will be of the same faction" checkbox is set

Confirming that during Hard Crash Landing, crypto sleep containers falling during the main starting event are filled with "Space refugees of the ancients" and not colony members.

Congratulations (or perhaps Condoleances?) for becoming a parent!

Thanks for clarifying that it was 1.4+.

No rush on the age thing, it's just a minor inconvenience once aware of the problem.

@Thels the reactor is refuelable from version 1.4 onwards. It was first implemented for version 1.4, but I guess I didn't update the mod description.
As for the incompatibility, I'll try looking into it when I have time (which I don't have much currently due to the birth of my son recently)

The "Crashlanding of Tribal Slaves" scenario breaks if you have a mod installed that removes all starting technology, such as FrozenSnowFox Tweaks. (I've tested it with just Crashlanding + FSF Tweaks + Dependencies.)

Disabling the option in FSF Tweaks makes everything run properly, but that's a bit annoying when I want to do a non-Crashlanding playthrough and have to enable it again.

Also, according to the description, the crashed ship reactor is refuelable only for 1.4. Is there a reason it's no longer available in 1.5?

Thanks for keeping this awesome mod alive! :D

it does indeed :)

Glad to see that Crashlanding lives.
