Hello Everyone, I would like to start a discussion in what could be "fair" in mods and what not.

I dont want to mod a device that costs 10d and mines an asteroid completely in 2 seconds, I would like to keep a certain balance within the Game. I've looked into the SpecMiningDevices Mod and the devices, since he uses a completly different mining script to calculate values, just feel overpowered.

Going from the base values of a "Industrial Mining Device" as 100% would you say this is fair?:
300% Duration (33% Speed)
200% Yield (as discussed here (http://forums.atomictorch.com/index.php?topic=807.0))
50% Energy

Also what price would be fair on a hull with 5000 cargo, no devices, no weapons?

You will most likely hear German but we understand English as well.

When you sell Glepsite to a Station it caps at 65.536 (or around that) and starts counting from 0 again.
The Amount seems not to be lost, since I can buy 2000 of the ~1200 glepsite displayed and it goes back to ~65.000

Can you choose a bigger variable for Ressources and Goods in the next update? Thanks

The parameters of the industrial mining device are looking like this:

Code Select Expand

<custom_parameters>
<speed>150</speed>
<amount>250</amount>
<energy>50</energy>
</custom_parameters>
With this you get about 50 glepsite on a glepsite-rich asteroid.

I would like to make a laser that takes triple amount of time and mine triple the value, so I made this:

Code Select Expand

<custom_parameters>
<speed>50</speed>
<amount>750</amount>
<energy>50</energy>
</custom_parameters>
It should mine triple right? Wrong! It mines 50 glepsite on a glepsite-rich asteroid as well. (But takes 3 times longer.)
At first I thought it has to do with the speed, so I left the speed at 50 and tripled the amount again.

Code Select Expand

<custom_parameters>
<speed>50</speed>
<amount>1500</amount>
<energy>50</energy>
</custom_parameters>
Now I mined 100 glepsite on a frech asteroid, but I want more like 150.
Adjusting to the curve I doubled the value again:

Code Select Expand

<custom_parameters>
<speed>50</speed>
<amount>3000</amount>
<energy>50</energy>
</custom_parameters>
Same setup, fresh glepsite-rich asteroid and I mined 123 Glepsite. WHAT?!
Time to take out the big guns... 10x amount

Code Select Expand

<custom_parameters>
<speed>50</speed>
<amount>30000</amount>
<energy>50</energy>
</custom_parameters>
The amount of glepsite in one cycle was around 250. HOW DO THESE VALUES WORK?!
Any help with this is appreciated.

/edit: I might have the starting value on the industrial wrong, can't check that right now.

When you switch your Hull from Stingray MK2 (with 4 MK2 capacity expanders) to a small shuttle your energy will not get updated properly:

Can somebody download this MOD and upload it to somewhere else?

I would like to try this one out but don't have steam.
Thank you very much in advance.

Trading would be a VERY good option, you dont need to do that in space, but it would be sufficient to do on a station when both traders are docked.

Also on that note, please rise the limitation of the cargo in a station. Its weird to just have 1000 in a station cargo and 2000 on the ship. Or you could release an option to buy/rent more space on that station.
