Excellent, now all I need is a mod that let's crew walk on scaffoldings and I will have the modern game up to snuff with all my favorite classic tricks. Then I can really have some fun.
need update

I also made a mod to do so, but if you add it to this mod I'll take my own down:

Hello! I also wanted it to be compatible... and I discovered that if there is no "AllowedDoorLocations", then doors are automatically placed at every edge. This makes it much easier to allow doors at every edge since you can just remove the node instead of specifying coordinates for every door!


So here's how I went about removing the limits on More Crew Quarters. If that author decided to implement a "MaxDoors", it would still be removed so I have that in there even knowing it currently doesn't do anything. I like specifying the start point of "./Data/" because then no matter where you put your WIP mod, it'll go up to the correct Workshop directory from there.

Please feel free to use this code in an update:

Hi @AstriaTheFox ! Yes, i should be able to do it. The only problem that persist from the last time someone asked me to do the exact thing, is that i'm waiting for a response on how to mod another mod, specifically which path should i write down, as i didn't receive an answer and tried multiple path but never got it working. Right now i just asked again, so if they'll answer i'll do it!

BTW i had two path; first one being this, and the second one was to re-upload the mod with my modifications, but never got a response from the dev so honestly without authorization i don't wanna do it

Needs a compatibility patch to work with this tbh: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2883177284

Hi! Sure no problem, tomorrow i'll try as right now internet is not helping me. btw the mod should still be compatible, as there were no reports of bug since the new version released
TheBastard 25 Jun, 2023 @ 1:40pm 
May you update this to 23.0 level?

@Thundercraft
It was me, I asked the other guy about the possibility of adding more doors, but then realized that asking for a patch here would probably be smarter. And I was right, he had no interest, although I don't understand how Crew Quarters having more doors is game breaking? I don't want more door spots so I can have 6 doors on each room, I want them so that I can make my ship look more aesthetically appealing.

Anyway, a separate mod as a patch was exactly what I was implying. That's how most mods add compatibility with other mods. That way, if people don't want the extra doors or simply don't want that other mod, they don't have to.

I would do it myself, if I knew how to do any of this. Really wish there was proper guide somewhere to teach me. Best I know how to do, is edit files through notepad or some other program for basic stuff.
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 16 Jun, 2023 @ 5:17am 
so thanks for the infos @Thundercraft ! First of all i think it would be easier to have more doors by just modifying that mod, instead of doing it through my mod. I'll try to ask the author, but if the answer is negative i can't do anything. Still i'll try!

Someone had already complained to the author of "More Crew Quarters" about how a quote, "lack of doors is a bit restrictive on builds" and asked if the added crew quarters quote, "could get more door access points". The author replied with quote, "It's intended to be restrictive..." and cited some sort of balance reason, so I have my doubts that the author would be amenable to what you suggest.

Actually, now that I think about it, I have to wonder if it'd be easier to just create a separate mod / patch to add more doors to "More Crew Quarters" instead of adding built-in support to this mod. Then again, I'm not at all familiar with modding Cosmoteer.
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 16 Jun, 2023 @ 3:57am 
my only problem right now its just to understand which path to use to modify that mod.
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 16 Jun, 2023 @ 3:57am 
Hi guys! So, i'll try, as i don't have modding experience (mainly cause making this mod was rather easy and long time ago), meanwhile i think you could try to ask the author of the more crew quarters to either make a "rule" inside his mod or to make another mod that add more doors.
Thundercraft 15 Jun, 2023 @ 9:55pm 
If possible, I'd also like to see a patch for "More Crew Quarters". That's a very popular mod.
Augoeides 13 Jun, 2023 @ 11:35am 
Any chance of this getting a patch for working with another mod: "More Crew Quarters"? That mod is great, but for some reason has door limitations, that this would fix nicely.
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 18 May, 2023 @ 6:08am 
Hi Semmel! Been a while since i played Cosmoteer, but it seems you're right. Perhaps the author of the mod deleted it!
Kaiser Semmel 18 May, 2023 @ 5:43am 
i cant find the classic build rules mod in the workshop
RED-Life 21 Apr, 2023 @ 6:05am 
Imagine living in a room with multiple doors in every wall. "Hey frank move the tv I need to go to engineering."

test
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 7 Feb, 2023 @ 12:52pm 
sorry clone, still don't understand. For me its seems you're talking about another mod
Drputtyboss 7 Feb, 2023 @ 12:46pm 
ammo and other resources only need energy to be produced, that mod got removed.
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 7 Feb, 2023 @ 12:41pm 
i still don't understand, maybe you mean another mod? Mine only enable you to put more doors on crew quarters
Drputtyboss 7 Feb, 2023 @ 11:56am 
classic factory AKA factories only need energy to work
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 7 Feb, 2023 @ 7:05am 
Hi @clone124642 , what do you mean?
Drputtyboss 7 Feb, 2023 @ 5:54am 
why there no classic factory?

Literal lifesaver

Just bought this game yesterday, and one thing I noticed is that the limited number of doors, compared to the old free Cosmoteer that I played for many years.
I hope modders could do the same to other sections/rooms have similar feature like yours.

Thanks for the mod.
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 19 Dec, 2022 @ 4:53am 
Thanks everyone for your support! Btw i updated the mod to the latest versions so you don't need to accept the pop-up saying its outdated!
ollj 10 Dec, 2022 @ 12:34pm 
the crew quaters door constrain does make more sense, IFF you can have more compact (and more expensice and more massive) crew quaters to chose between, so, you can always palce a less dense 2x2 75%ish-LOWER-CERW-DENSITY crew quater with doors everywhere, or a 1,5x capacity crew quater, that can only have 1 door at one of 2 corners (1 door with mirrored version), OR the default crew-quater as the in-between.

i also like the other mod, that has a "crew corridoe" tile, it is 1x3 large, and 2 doors can only be placed (at the center of the long side, to form a corridor of crew cabins).
i also like the "karger crew quaters" mod, that just does away with all the door constrains, but its much more expensive mid and late game and dneeds unlocking.

Legend, no idea why doors are so retarded in the base game.
robert1191 6 Dec, 2022 @ 6:34pm 
Very helpful for my build
Daunmi 5 Dec, 2022 @ 8:57pm 
I love the idea of this mod because it removes the challenge of having to place crew quarters, but I hate the idea of this mod because it removes the challenge of having to place crew quarters.

增加乘员区可放置的最大门数。



(只是为了好玩与“经典构建规则”兼容)

Figured as much. Thanks anyway~
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 21 Nov, 2022 @ 11:22am 
Hi! Some people already reported this, but this isn't a thing i control, i think its more from the part of Steam, as there aren't such options when we create mods for cosmoteer.
Serfs 21 Nov, 2022 @ 11:11am 
Every time this game updates I have to unsub, resub to the mod.

Not sure why it isn't auto-updating, but I'd really like if you could fix that. Thanks for the mod
MJ Swift 12 Nov, 2022 @ 12:17pm 
thx
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 12 Nov, 2022 @ 7:58am 
Hi @MJSwift! The mod is already updated to 0.20.21. Try to unistall it or check game integry via steam.
MJ Swift 12 Nov, 2022 @ 7:37am 
plz update vor new patch <3
That one Weeb 6 Nov, 2022 @ 8:54pm 
Usually unsubbing from the mod, launching the game, then resubbing/launching fixes most issues with the game.
weiss 6 Nov, 2022 @ 8:18pm 
well, fixxed, one of the cosmoteer devs said "check game integrity via steam" and that worked oo. so incase anyone else gets this. check game inregrity x3.
weiss 6 Nov, 2022 @ 8:07pm 
hey mike, i have an issue with your mod. or maybe its just a steam store issue but i have the version 1.0.8 but my friend has 1.0.9 ... like you can see here https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/457101993966698497/1039023793466781726/unknown.png i unsubbed and resubbed to this mod here aswell and it still says 1.0.8 in the text. same counts by the way for galactic allegiance ... i dont know how to update the mods >_>. usually does steam this on its own but no matter what i do, i cant get version 1.0.9 of this mod nor the version d from galactic allegiance >_>.
NotTank 6 Nov, 2022 @ 5:19am 
Really cool mod :steamthumbsup:
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 6 Nov, 2022 @ 4:33am 
you need a new save if you didn't start with it.
Cinthel 5 Nov, 2022 @ 4:30pm 
this needs an update for the newest version? or do i need a new save?
FireKat 31 Oct, 2022 @ 8:01am 
Ya i made a new game and seems to be working now.
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 31 Oct, 2022 @ 5:50am 
Alright so, i tried it in creative to see if crew members use every doors and it works. Now i think that 80% when using the mod you need to start a save with it and can't add it after
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 31 Oct, 2022 @ 5:46am 
If other people have this bug just tell me and i'll look into the files
[SN]Mike28282  [author] 31 Oct, 2022 @ 5:45am 
I think That One Weeb is correct! Maybe adding the mod to a pre-existent save doesn't work.
That one Weeb 30 Oct, 2022 @ 7:21pm 
@FireKat I'd recommend starting a new game tbh, knowing how weird the game reacts to mods suddenly being added to the game.
