📋 About This Mod

Version 2. 1 release!

This release contains a few new features:

  • []Fixes a rare issue with default crates which can't be disabled, thus would replicate until you left the cell.  NOTE: These rare crates will no be lootable, unfortunately.  The easiest location to observe this is at Anchorpoint Station - look in the crew quarters and the medical area, you'll find 4 total unlootable beer crates.  There's lots of beer in the universe, though.[/]

    []Corrected the misbehavior with the new Elevated Cabin outpost structure.  Apparently, when you are placing a new outpost structure it is fully rendered, including the furnishings inside.  This meant if you placed the cabin and the loop fired, the new crates would drop to the ground.  You'd see similar behavior if you destroyed or moved the cabin - the replaced crates would fall out.  This no longer happens.[/]

    []New water sources!  I took the opportunity to go ahead and add three different water sources to the mod: Water Coolers (the black/silver ones, pretty common), Water Dispensers (green/silver, pretty rare), and Water Filtration Carts (little carts with tanks and filters, uncommon).  If you want to see all three, the easiest location to find them is at Neon.  There's a cooler right outside the Ranger station (left of the door), a cart right outside of Reliant Medical (to the right of the door), and a dispenser outside of Chunks (in Ebb Side, across from Euphoria).  The cooler and dispenser are presumably attached to the water system for wherever they are, so will dispense as much Distilled Water as you want.  The carts are mobile, so the tank has a limited amount - but always at least one.[/]

The constructible water cooler at outposts/player ship/homes will become functional, as will the pre-placed water coolers I found on my ship.

Huge thanks to ArgoHorizon for both reporting the Anchorpoint problem and testing the new version!

Install/update

However you normally install or update.  I do always recommend a new save and some testing before you fully commit to an update for any mod - just to make sure.

Previous release information:

Version 2. 0 release!

Now dynamically replaces the crates as they are encountered.  How it works:

[]Uses a custom background quest and a pair of scripts, one on the quest and one on the replacement object[/]

[]Quest script: Replaces all of the crates it finds within a decent radius from the player when a new cell loads.  I couldn't find any hard data on how big a loaded area might be, so it also checks every 30 seconds for anything that might need to be replaced.[/]

[*]Object script: When the cell unloads, the object removes itself and brings the static object back.  It even matches the geometry, in ca
