Thank you for all your work @Mlie This one specially is of my favourite mods in any playthrough. I was just wondering, do you think it would be possible/easy to add bionics from Quality Bionics to the compatible items to upgrade?

@wuhu~pilot Please see the Reporting Issues section described above

I'm not upgrading any item when these codes comes out

@Mlie Could you please check these error codes?

@Dax Please see the Reporting Issues section described above

I've changed some mod settings, like awful to poor chance to be 100%, but it says there's 50% chance and it sometimes fails. Did settings not apply?

Not what I expected, but well, all solutions are good solutions, not to say it's a general solution.
Thanks a lot

@有电脑 For exact values for any slider, this mod may be useful:

the cost slider in mod-settings may be toooooo smooth, hard to access an inter factor. Percentile is enough I suppose.

im blind under the command/order and not in the right click context menu.. lol works

@saintbrutal It does, but the weapon needs to have quality and it has to be craftable, since there is no way for the mod to know how much it chould cost and where to do the upgrade otherwise.

does this not support modded weapons like tmc weapon pack? dropped a weapon but no right click context menu pop up to upgrade.

Can I add this to an existing save?

@Äärmik Creating such a gui is a pretty large undertaking, but if you post links to mods and what items you would like to upgrade I can add patches for them

@Mlie Thank you for fixing it so quickly! Have you ever thought about adding a feature where we can define our own upgrade paths in the settings? For example I'm currently doing an ancient vault playthrough and thus have a ton of shelves and would like to upgrade them to big shelves from the deep storage mod.

@Äärmik Should be fixed now, thanks for reporting!

I have an issue where if a pawn tries to increase the quality of an item and the closest workbench is already occupied by another pawn doing either their own increase quality job or some other bill, it causes a red and yellow error in the dev mode log and the pawn gets stuck "Standing".

@Aequus The info in the description is just support things that has multiple research requirements. There are no specific research for upgrades, it just uses any defined for crafting it

New description says about (possible multiple) research requirements for upgrades, but I cannot see any effect of this in-game? Like being able to upgrade marine armor right from start, provided I have fabrication bench. How do I use this feature? Should I make some custom patch or anything?

Ah, that explains it. The Feathered Wraps are not stuffable.

@Svela Items that are not stuffable uses a generic formula to define what material is needed. Below industrial tech it requires wood, industrial is steel and above that its plasteel.

There is an... I don't want to say issue, but not sure how else to say it. When I try to upgrade certain items it'll request wood as the upgrade material. Thing is, those items aren't made of wood. For example, if I try to upgrade the Feathered Wrap from the Oni Of The Rim mod it wants wood instead of Oni feathers, even though the wrap is made of nothing but Oni feathers. Is wood the default material when the mod doesn't know what to use? And if so, do you happen to know how would I go about changing the target upgrade material to it's appropriate item?

@Victor Added a designator and also fixed increasing quality for art using any art-bench

The bug also happens with Electric Art Bench (Continued) https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2914607001

Also, a suggestion: can you add a order to the orders tab? It would be useful for improving everything in an arsenal instead of going item per item.

Found an issue with Jewelry 's Laser sculping table: if you order a placed sculpture to be improved, the pawn will bring it to the table and place it down, deleting the table, instead of placing the unminified building. This only happens on the modded table.`

@Matsay Adding specific items can cause issues with other mods, so Id rather not do that. Using another item of the same type may be possible.

Using another piece of the same item kinda makes sense to me too... Maybe add a couple advanced components for nanites?

Perhaps basing upgrade materials on tech level and scaling it off cost or mass could work, though I'm not sure how balanced that would be with mods. I've also seen another mod use the item itself as an upgrade material, requiring you to obtain multiple of an item to upgrade it.

@Matsay Well, if there is no recipe then it cant calculate the cost.

I'd like to again second the idea of using the fabrication bench as an upgrade station for gear with no recipe. This would save us the trouble of having to make all special gear craftable (like eltex or deserter armor) if we ever want to get it beyond good quality.

@ptcon Should now only show the upgrade gizmo on items that can be crafted

Perhaps the fabrication bench? Alternatively, you could just disallow them from being upgraded.

@ptcon Not sure what station that would be?

Attempting to upgrade an item without a crafting recipe throws an exception. Would it be possible to add a fallback station?

@Matsay Should work better now, try it and if some worktable isnt detected please report back.

Well I guess if you can find a proper way to do it, I'm just happy to have pointed you to the right direction. Thanks again for all the work, you're making modded playthrough so much richer!

@Matsay Then I think it would be better if I added reversed lookups for benches to the mod instead of adding patches for a bunch of stuff. Ill add it to the todolist

Anyway, I don't want to force the issue upon you, I just thought I'd let you know since I found a solution to a question being asked a while back. Maybe later I'll look up how to properly send the patch to your github and you'll decide what to do with it.

You're not patching recipes to the benches, you're patching the benches as recipe users. Which wouldn't be all that useful usually (you're basically duplicating information) except in the case of this mod, since that's the place where it looks for which benches to use.

@Matsay Usually the mod that adds the item, or the mod that adds the extra workbench handles the integration patches with other mods. Its seems a bit strange that this mod should add other mods recipes to other mods benches?

Wouldn't that require to make a different patch for each mod adding a special workbench (i.e. one in VFE Production, another in VFE Ancients, etc)? While doing it on your end would regroup everything in a single patch and allow you to add new workbenches if requested? Seemed more logical to me, but then again you're the one pumping out mod after mod so I defer to your expertise.

@Matsay Wouldnt that be better added to the mod that adds the large production tables since this mod just uses the defined tables in the recipes?

Also, about a question that was asked of you a few months back, concerning the large production tables not being useable to upgrade stuff, this is because those tables only inherit their recipes from the relevant vanilla ones. For them to be useable by this mod, you'd also need to patch them into the relevant recipemakers. I wrote such a patch for VFE Ancients and would be happy to send it over to your github, except i don't have the slightest idea how to do that...

Hello Mlie and once again thanks for all your hard work on our favorite game. I was wondering if it would be possible (as a toggleable option probably) to add the fabrication workbench for upgrading quality on uncraftable items like eltex gear and such?

I like this mod, it's convenient and practical. Thanks for updating it.

@无声飞雪 Yes, the cost is based on the quality and value of the item. As mentioned in the description

无论如何设置，升级装甲都需要最少23个Plasteel
Regardless of setting, upgrading armor requires a minimum of 23 Plasteel

can we get compatibility for Quality Bionics? just to make getting those masterwork/legendary robo hearts a little less tedious

@Mlie Thanks a million.
