Extra Long Range Captain Operations

Description
Adds a simple modifier to double the range of various operations you send your captains on.

Remember an explorer captain is still required in order to mark every sector type, even if they're in radar range.

If you like this mod and want to help others find it


Changes:
All operations which can benefit from a bigger area have had their area's doubled including:
  • Mine
  • Scrap
  • Expedition
  • Refine
  • Scout
  • Procure
  • Sell
  • Trade
Note: Some operations generate their duration based on the number of sectors they visit, meaning this WILL increase the duration for those operations. These are usually the operations where you can't pick their duration.

I've tested with the mod enabled and disabled. It worked the same both ways. I tested with an explorer captain after, they discovered far more sectors as expected with and without the mod enabled.
Are you sure you're not just using a non-explorer captain? Not every captain can discover every type of sector so it can appear as if they're not doing anything even though there are visible mass sectors on radar.

I'll do some more testing later today. Not sure why there'd be sn issue though as the area is all thats changed.

+Scouting is not working.

its weird then as the only mod i remove is this one and the scouting works again.

My mod doesn't touch the scouting part of the scouting operation, only the function which controls the size of the area. I also tested it again anyway and it worked normally. You likely have a conflict or other issue.

just want to let you know that this mod breaks scouting, when the scouting operation finishes it does not reveal any systems in the area the scouting took place in

NVM, I'm dumb.

You're correct, that should by a Y. I've fixed it now in the affected files. Thanks for pointing it out.

I didn't notice the issue during testing as it actually works regardless, even though it shouldn't. Basegame scripts likely ensure the values are equal to the highest/X value to keep it square. I don't remember off the top of my head though.

While trying to learn how to create modification, I looked through the code for your mod and spotted something weird.

-- Ensures the resulting value is an odd number
X = utilities.makeOdd(X)
X = utilities.makeOdd(Y)

Shouldn't that last line assign to Y instead of X?

The mod is already updated for 2.5.2, it doesn't need an update. Try unsubbing and resubbing as Steam may not have updated your local copy of the mod yet.
