AdjustedMechSalvage

AdjustedMechSalvage is a BattleTech mod (using ModTek) that changes the rules that mech parts get generated.

Requirements

• []install BattleTechModLoader using the instructions here

  []install ModTek using the instructions here

Features

• []Your own mechs now get destroyed and leave behind salvage.

  []Number of salvage is now based the number of parts you destroyed.

  []You get DefaultMechPartMax(number needed to assemble a mech) - DefaultMechPartMax / 5 parts for each arm or leg the target lost.

  []CT lost is 0 parts

Example:DefaultMechPartMax is set to 5:

• []5 - 1(leftleg destroyed) - 1(Rightleg destroyed) = 3 parts

DefaultMechPartMax is set to 3 or 5:

• []CT destroyed, rightleg destroyed = 1 parts

  []CT destroyed destroyed = 1 parts

  []CT destroyed, rightleg destroyed, leftarm destroyed = 1 parts

DefaultMechPartMax is set to 3:

• []3 - 0,6(rightarm destroyed) - 0,6(rightleg destroyed) = 1,8 rounded to 2 parts

  DefaultMechPartMax has a default value of 3. To change/increase the number of parts required to assemble a Mech you'll need to change this value on BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\simGameConstants\SimGameConstants.json

  Settings

  • []ownMechsForFree - bool - default false - Places the parts of the mechs you loose yourself directly into your inventory instead of making you salvage them.

    []ejectRecoveryBonus - float - default 0 - Flat Bonus to your recovery chance if you punshed out.

    []incapacitatedRecoveryBonus - float - default 0 - Flat Bonus to your recovery chance if pilot got incapacitated.

    []centerTorsoSalvageValue" - float - default 1 - Sets how much salvage is generated from a mech with center torso destroyed.

  Example: RecoveryRate set to 0. 5 -> Can rolls 0-1 0. 6 -> eject bonus is 0. 15 -> 0. 5+0. 15 = 0. 65 -> 0. 6 is smaller then 0. 65 so mech is recovered

  Install and use
