steelar manipulation components... more than one use? |
hi there just for fun i thought id try and make warp point openers and closers not be destroyed after use, so i went and altered the code appropriatly but once used they still break...
heres the alterations...
this one is default from balance mod 1.11 and sev 1.58

Re: steelar manipulation components... more than one use?
I think you'd need to sill have an Ability 2 to define the component type as something other than "Component - Destroyed On Use"... look for another Component Type to put in there.
Re: steelar manipulation components... more than one use?
I've done what your trying to do, I use FTL drives in a set pair to regenerate the damage after one turn. It has open WP ability and regenerate ability (set really high) that after one turn its ready to go. You have to have a set of two to make it work though.
The auto destroy after use is hard coded in the game engine on WP openers (and closers) there is no way around it, it will take 100% damage.

Re: steelar manipulation components... more than one use?
Using them every turn is imo good enough return. (Et least in BM, you can pack WP closer or opener AND repair component in single cruiser, so it opens WP, repeair itself and can double as repair ship for fleet)
