About this mod
Adds vanilla paints to traders corner vendors in the same way as Paintjobs Galore! paints.
- Permissions and credits
I made this for myself but maybe some people will like it.
This small mod adds most of the games paintmods to vendors in a similar way to the paints added by my 'Painjobs Galore!' mod. Paintmods have a cost to them and they are not always available, you may have to move around and check several vendors to get the paintmods you want. Protip - Teladi trading stations have several vendors.
Almost all the games paintmods are added to vendors with a flat 20% chance to appear with a max stock of 12 units. And their costs are the same as Paintjobs Galore!
Basic | 200 to 1800 credits each
Enhanced | 1000 to 9000 credits each
Exceptional | 2000 to 18000 credits each
This approach should keep vendor spam down and simultaneously result in at least some scarcity.
The default 8 paintmods are not included and neither are the paintmods that are awarded to you at 27+ rep with a faction, so the reward for gaining rep does not become redundant by installing this mod.
FAQ
Is Paintjobs Galore! required?
No this mod is standalone.
Compatibility?
Not compatible with other mods that adjust paintmod pricing and distribution in a similar fashion.
And other mods that add paintmods?
This will not apply to paintmods added by other mods, eg, paints from (the awesome) 'Tech Paintjobs Collection' will still cost 1 credit.
Lastly. Egosoft can you do something about paintmods please? 7 years and still this feature is still woefully underdeveloped. I made this mod because there are many great mods that attempt to fix the problem of paintmod availability but none did it in the way I personally wanted, but there is clearly a problem here. Even this implementation that i've made myself I feel is a bit 'cheaty' in that it is very simple and uninteresting. I wanted to make a much more involved paintmod crafting mod, but that involves lua modding and other things that I just dont have the skill or patience to do.
