Volatile Modifications for v9.00 - Nemesystem

Volatile Modifications

Gambler mods that grow with you.

Volatile Modifications turns the modifications into a progression system. You start at lv0 and craft your way up to lv40 — one category at a time — while the kill loot actually feeds your modding workflow.

1. Basic Volatile mod packs (lv0–lv40)

Four categories: Shield, Engine, Weapon, Hull. Each has 41 tiers (lv0..lv40). Install a pack at any equipment dock's workbench (cost of Tuning softwares: Weapon 10 TS · Engine 11 TS · Hull 12 TS · Shield 13 TS. )

— every stat rolls uniformly inside the tier's range and bakes in permanently. No fishing for one good stat: you take the whole spread.

2. Per-category XP progression

You only start with lv0 blueprints. Higher tiers unlock by crafting packs of that category at a workbench:

• []Each craft awards 1..(5+currentLevel) XP to that category.[/]

  []XP needed for the next tier scales: 10 + 5×currentLevel (lv0→1: 10 XP, lv1→2: 15 XP, … lv39→40: 205 XP).[/]

  []Cumulative XP from lv0 to lv40: 4300.[/]

  []Tiers unlock independently per category — grind the one you want.[/]

Excess XP carries over on level-up. Lower-tier blueprints stay granted, so you can always craft cheaper tiers if that's all you need.

3. Tuning Software drops on player kills

You actually find Tuning Software on dead ships now, scaled by hull size. Yield value is "expected TS × 100":

• []100 = guaranteed 1 TS[/]

  []200 = guaranteed 2 TS[/]

  []50 = 50% chance of 1[/]

  []170 = guaranteed 1 + 70% chance of a 2nd[/]

  []Range: 0–500%[/]

Defaults: S = 40%, M = 90%, L = 170%, XL = 280%. Only your kills count.

Settings (in-game)

Everything is configurable live via Extension Options → Volatile Mods (powered by Simple Menu API). No save reload needed.

• []Crafting XP progression — live read-out of each category's level and XP bar toward the next tier[/]

  []Tuning Software drops — four sliders (S/M/L/XL), 0–500% each, set to 0 to disable[/]

  []TS in inventory — quick check without opening your stash[/]

  []Debug craft XP notifications — optional ticker showing XP gained per craft[/]

  []Debug drop notifications — optional ticker on every kill with the roll[/]

  []Emergency: Re-grant blueprints — safety button if a save somehow loses them[/]

Requirements

• []X4: Foundations 9. 00+[/]

  []Simple Menu API (for the in-game settings menu)[/]
