so the mod did not work at all for me I don't know if I am the only one but this is what i found
ok so i was messing with the code (PLZ dont be mad) and i found one of the problems
at the top of Wut.txt you put
Wut : <../../Data/Ships.txt/base ship>

when it is supposed to be
Wut : <../../Data/Ships.txt>/base ship

but i could not find the other problem all I know is that is has something to to with the action ManyToAdd
as that was stated in the error message I got after i fixed the first thing
so... ya hope this help you
P.S. love the textures and keep up the great work on the mod :3

It would be great if there was a gigantic weapon platform like a superweapon... I really need those for my capital ships.

Coldarray and also, the game fails loading the mod with the text file 'wut'.
I guess somethin' is wrong with the textfile.

GunsForGuns Really? Well you're right that it should have the > I never noticed because it never errored for me with out it, strangely enough it errors with the > added.

I'm currently fixing it up, I'm still at a loss for why it never gave me an issue I mean the IDString and OtherIDs were wrong too. Heh, oh well. Here we go.

The current code:

Wut : <../../Data/Ships/base ship.txt
{
	IDString = Wut
//	OtherIDs = ["PlayerShips"]
	NameKey = "ShipClasses/Wut"

Annnd the fixed version:

Wut : <../../Data/Ships/base ship.txt>
{
	IDString = "Wut"
	OtherIDs = ["PlayerShips075"]
	NameKey = "ShipClasses/Wut"

Imma test it for abit first and assuming no other errors pop up il post the updated version soon.

Impenetra Well I do have a few ideas in mind for that.

It'll either be a new Energy Cannon, A Large spinal weapon (no turret) Or a Torpedo launcher. The down side though is the two ladder options would require new factories so would take awhile. The spinal weapon will probably be the most interesting with the energy cannon the easiest to make.

Honestly I was thinking that I actually needed some small "standard" weapons first, but perhaps a capital weapon should come first.

Impenetra · Dec '17

Coldarray Oh, again!
The mod fails to be loaded even with the new version...
I see wut files making troubles again..

Coldarray · Dec '17

Impenetra wow really? I honestly have not had any issues from it, I wonder why its so random, I'm going to have to go through it and match it up with the vanilla terran file see if there's any more errors in there.

Do you use any other mods along side it? If I could replicate this issue it'd be so much easier to permanently fix.

Edit: Actually it'd be helpful to send me the first bit of the error message too if you can.

Impenetra Oh and btw, i'd say that new weapon is about.. eh 5% done atm. Had a lot of trouble getting it to work how I wanted it so I'm still working on the code.
enter image description here
Its the Spinal weapon with an Ion_Beam Placeholder. Its gonna be tricky to balance but I got a few ideas.

Impenetra · Dec '17

Coldarray That is horribly awesome!!
I like reaping ships in pieces. Good Job!

Impenetra · Dec '17

Coldarray weapons like railgun would be ok too.

Coldarray · Dec '17

Impenetra That is what it actually is. The Spinal Rail Cannon. A fixed long range weapon that will be mainly balanced or defended by shields. In the picture I posted though you can see it destroyed 2 shields and cut the ship in half (because its currently wtfOP for testing purposes). But once its done, it'll be decently balanced for both vanilla and modded play.

Well if I get it right of course, btw. Any info on that bug you ran into? I looked through the file but I'm having trouble finding any issues. I'm wondering if another mod is triggering it as I haven't run into this problem my self (heck even when it was all messed up before it somehow still worked for me which baffles me) So I'm pretty interested in triggering this error for myself so I can correct it properly.

Impenetra · Dec '17

Coldarray I dont have time right now, I will post the error during today or
tomorrow.

TotallyNormalPerson · Dec '17

I am struggling to install the mod, it crashes when i attempt to run the game with it installed. I do not know why but could you test it?

Coldarray · Dec '17

TotallyNormalPerson Can you post the error message you got? Or more specifically the first couple lines of it.

Oh and also a list of any mods your using as well (that way I can check the compatibility too)

TotallyNormalPerson · Dec '17

Even when i deactivate all my other mods it fails to work with it installed. Heres the error message:
