About this mod
Auto-repairing resource extractors for your outposts, with faster extraction and closer proximity radius.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Adds "Resilient Outpost Extractors" to the Outpost workshop menu, auto-repairing, with improved performance and closer proximity.
Research Project
You will need to complete the Resource Extraction 3 research project before the extractors are available in the workshop menu.
Features
Compared to base game extractors, the new ones are faster (4x Basic Extractor rate), have a larger capacity (30), and better health (500). In addition, each resilient extractor has a built-in auto-repair monitor which checks integrity every 15 seconds. A full repair is done if the extractor has been completely disabled (i.e. blown up by raider pirates, or ripped apart by angry animals :) .
The cost for all this is an increase in power required (30).
Requirements
Just the base game.
Compatibility
Almost all records added by the mod are new. I did have to modify the vanilla FormList records which organize the different types of extractors; so conflicts may happen with other mods which also modify those. In my load order, I keep this mod below any others that affect outposts, and that works well for me.
Apart from that, this is quite compatible with other mods which add to or modify outposts. See below for some mods I regularly use in my playthroughs.
I tested this mod before release by building 15 outposts, each equipped with 12 resilient extractors, in a game with 110 assorted other mods, and had no problems. But do leave me a post if you run into anything game-breaking.
Removing extractors
If you remove an existing resilient extractor from your outpost, be sure to stay in the outpost area (cell) until you see the message "Stopping extractor auto-repair monitor", which should happen no later than 15 seconds later. The message confirms that the extractor object, along with its script and timer, has been completely removed.
