📋 About This Mod
Ever been in Situation where you desperately wait for each next delivery of reasearch points from the cryo pod rewards, but missed a bunch of them already because you are stuck or having too much fun on a planet?
With this mod you don't have to leave the planet to receive the cryo pod rewards, but can access them directly from each forward station!
This was supposed to be a small mode made within a few hours, with an option to be increased in scope later.
In reality this one button and minimal logic took me more than a month, with everything breaking down at every single change :(
And it still doesn't quite work as i want it to. So i don't know if there will ever be another update to this mod. :/
Requirements:
-
[]Frosty Mod Manager >= 1. 0. 6. 3 ( Note: The 1. 0. 7 branches do not work for MEA! )
[
]Textpack in the text language of your game - without those the button won't have a name. Do not use textpacks for languages not available in your game!Known Bugs:
-
[]Sometimes the plotflag check for unlocked cryo pod fails in initial level load for unknown reasons. This means that the interact point never shows up. This can be remedied by loading a save in the area again. The plotflags in an already running game for the character seem to be evaluated differently.
Incompatibilities:
None currently. Technically incompatible with anything that alters the following assets:

Recommended:
I recommend to use a mod that removes the popup messageboxes for each delivery. To my knowledge there are currently two mods that do this:

- Settlement Perks by me
Credits and Special Thanks:
BreakfastBrainz2 for the hasher plugin
Pete and LionAG / Nesae for the ObjectFlagsCalculator
And maybe most importantly: Gman, Cade, Wannkunstbeikor and all the other developers of the frosty tool suite, without them, none of this would be possible!
