Kell has not posted since 28 Mar 2024, so I figure they have probably moved on, which is understandable (maintaining mods eternally for free is a real chore).

With that said, here is my query (copy pasted from r/playatlas)

I had played Atlas ~450 hours prior to 2020. Came back recently and having fun with a modded singleplayer session, including the "Pirates Roam" mod. There are two pirate camps and two or more "roaming" pirate ships near my first base on Cheery Isle. They leave me alone unless I go to close, and I intend to attack the land camps once I get some muskets crafted.

However, I'm told by my robot assistant that it is "not possible" to either take occupancy of these pirate land sites, nor to prevent them from respawning.

Anyone know of a mod that does allow that or a file where settings could be adjusted?

Anyone ever figure out how to add Klinger to the loot table?

As a few already asked: is there a way to reduce the amount of pirateships or mix it them up better with Sods or block the spawn of pirateships in certain grids?, or have this mod gone dead/discontinued and if thats the case mark it as that plz

yo do these ships have crews and can you board and fight them?

is there a way to mix and match sotds and these pirate ships, i want sods to be more common then the pirates. is there a ini setting where i can do that?

Really neat mod, just trying to find all the config options so we can use it. Had quite a few good recommendations for this mod. Few questions, customizing loot pool? not allowing spawn in freeport grid? reducing amount of pirate ships in a grid? (sotd NPCShipNumMult is default and it seems there's a lot of pirate ships spawning)

Hey, I'm a big fan of this mod, it's a lovely addition to the boring SOTD. This mod gives you a actually challenge/tread in to the game when sailing. Love it.
But I got a question.. I have this mod running on a server, I managed to find the basic settings like the damage, planks, etc. but I cant seem to finde the Loot ini settings. I found the lootstructures uasset. But how do I actually edit this file? Its just symbols for me :(
I'ld love to hear from the dev or maybe someone else who knows how to edit the uasset files. Thanks :D

I was able to custom Pirate Booty loot pool, but that seems to override the map one as well as the ammo one. I was trying to make them have their own loot pool but I was unsure how to get that to work. Seems like pirate booty is the overall loot of the ship as a whole and those are sub categories of it?

I believe you can do that via ini, I will post how soon

hi hi i was wondering if there was a way to add the klinger bp's as a item dropped by the ships. As i prefer the roaming pirates.

This is a great mod. I love having pirates instead of SotD. But I used to have tons of SotD around, so many it was crazy, and now I have crazy amounts of pirates. Would you know how to control the spawn of SotD? creature spawn is at default 1.0.

hello, is there any way to make loot tables configurable IE: to add specific modded & Vanilla items?

No Boats of the damned spawn.. is there a way you or I can fix this?

It wouldn't let me zone into grid until I disabled the Mod. I love the idea of revamp of ship combat

SOTD no longer spawns when the mod is installed?

Can we also take over the npc ships?

Dude that sounds awesome, I can't wait to see what you've got in store for us.

no problem, I need to get back to it, I have several ship types to add, some carrying torpedoes

I copy pasted the settings again and moved the mod to the end of the load order, I don't know if it was removing the space or changing the load order but it seems to be fixed now. I'm glad we got it resolved, I absolutely love this mod. Thanks for the help.

there shouldnt be any spaces in [ThereBePirates]

I would but steam won't allow comments more than 1000 characters long. Also when I went into the INI to copy the text I found the settings had duplicated themselves somehow. The config list I have is [item grinder], [custom shipyards], then [there be pirates]. I literally went to the page you have linked in the discussions and copy pasted the settings there, then changed the damage and resistance numbers from 1 to 2 and I'm being hammered by almost half the pirate vessels I encounter. I have had this mod function properly previously and it feels like they're all set to 4 or 5 the the damage they're doing.

Seems ASC was the issue. I have changed server managers :D

Hey kell, I am having an issue with steam not downloading the mod fully. Is there a fix? This seems to be the only mod that doesn’t download fully.

Can you post what your ini looks like

I am having trouble getting this mod to work correctly, the pirate ships don't seem to be effected by the INI settings. The mod ID is in the file and I copy pasted the list from the format page but no matter how I set the numbers there is no change to their damage resistance or DPS, please help because I absolutely adore this mod and I really want to keep using it.

Hi is there any update on having ships of the damned spawning with pirate ships?

I mean lock them in their places so they don't become glitchy

Is there any chance/way that you could lock the loot crates, so the actual loot crate, the map bookcase and the ammo box in place? Having issues with looting them after I sink the pirate ship. Most of the time I can demolish parts of the ship to gain access to the treasures but at times that doesn't actually work.

Is there a reliable way to identify if a ship is an actual elite or not? we have encountered a couple when getting to close and have gotten out asses handed to us, also SotD stopped spawning completely

Im getting an overspawn of the pirates and zero SotDs on my small 2x2 server. Is there a setting in the ini to reduce the percentage of pirates vs SotDs spawning?

Unfortunately, there are players who take advantage of it and then report how easy it is to sink the ships, and that is not how I have set them up! I hope for a solution for everyone!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I attempted at 1 point to lock them, till they were sunk, but then I had intermittent errors where they were not unlocking, I will at some point circle back to that.

Hello, is there a way without server rules to prohibit the player from boarding the ships with a grappling hook and then looting the crates without the ships being attacked? Thanks

what is the codes to change the loot table in boats

Ok thank you

It would be
CommonSchoonerQuality=1:3
CommonSchoonerSets=2:2

You dont have to readd setting, just edit the settings that are there

Or does it have to be like this?

CommonSchoonerCommonQuality=1:3
CommonSchoonerCommonSets=2:2

And another question, does it have to be at the bottom again, because it is already entered at the top for all ships?
CommonQuality=1:10
CommonSets=2:5
ReplaceCooldown=40
RepairCooldown=40
RepairThreshold=50
PlanksToRepair=3
SparePlanks=8
SpareSails=3

Good day, short question would it be so right with the quality and the sets?

CommonSchoonerDamage=3
CommonSchoonerResistance=3
CommonSchoonerReplaceCooldown=40
CommonSchoonerRepairCooldown=40
CommonSchoonerRepairThreshold=50
CommonSchoonerPlanksToRepair=2
CommonSchoonerSparePlanks=4
CommonSchoonerSpareSails=2
------>CommonQuality=1:3 here
------>CommonSets=2:2 here
That's how I did it with different numbers on all the ships, would that be right? thanks for the help!

Never mind, I found it. For anyone else having this problem it's in "atlas > shooter game > saved > config > windowsnoeditor" and you're looking for gameusersettings.ini

I'm new to modding atlas and I don't understand how to change the mod settings or where to find the file I need to alter, none of the files I've looked at have any [therebepirates] header and I don't know which file to add it to or where in the file to add it. Is there a detailed guide on how to do this for newbies?

Love your mod! Do you have a Discord channel to subscribe to for upcoming things? Also, do you have an area to let people know we are running your mod? Thank you for the great PvE addition to Atlas!

Thats probably because GS doesnt know how to deal with ships when they get destroyed not from sinking.

Thats the Mini Map and the Map by using the 8 on the Num Block.

what overview map?

In addition, some of the pirates don't seem to disappear anymore. There are more and more pirate ships. Some pirate ships only exist on the overview maps but not on the grid.

Added it to the description

Could some pin the mod id cannot find it for pirates roam

will look into this, thanks
