[quote who="Madfable" reply="1587" id="3437138"]Quick question. Is maelstrom compatible with other mods? And if so, what are some examples? Thanks![/quote] No it is not compatible ... though I have integrated into Maelstrom two additional mods, The Sins Optimization Project (TSOP) and Bailknight`s Graphic Mod

Installation instructions are included in the mod download ... see .zip file in the top most folder

For those that are interested .... Maelstrom has been updated to the latest 1.8 patch for Rebellion and is compatible with the new Stellar Phenomena DLC.

[quote who="XATHOS" reply="1575" id="3416820"]Quoting UnleashedElf, reply 1573 Still, it's pretty good that Ironclad/Stardock are updating still. At least it means that there's ample development going on. Eh.. far moreso Stardock than IC. IC has been too busy making their upcoming failed endeavor (it will in a MOBA market flooded with LOL and DOTA) Sins of a Dark Age. Rebellion has been primarily a Stardock Entertainment game then, and will be in the future.

[quote who="jk_bonn" reply="1574" id="3416665"]Any news (timeline) about the update to the new patch?[/quote] Next week or two ... Busy with other projects. Still have not finished the Pirate Factions and undecided as to whether to release a 'demo' version of the pirates in the R7 Rebellion release.

Thanks Big Z [e digicons]k1[/e]

Thanks GoaFan [e digicons]k1[/e]

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="1569" id="3415524"] Are the updates done yet?[/quote] The Replicators are busy programming the updates ...

Thanks for the info ... time to get busy again!

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1564" id="3415400"]The DLCs should not break the game if the modder is careful when updating the game (which I'm sure Maelstrom is). However the 1.8 patch that was released for Stellar Phenomena does break every single mod with new races, so I'm afraid that does mean you (and everyone else) won't be able to play this mod until Maelstrom releases an update.[/quote] Thanks for the clarification GoaFan77. I assume when you referred to the

[quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="1563" id="3415397"]It looks like all of the races seem to have issues with black holes and trade ships (including base game).[/quote] That's what black holes do ... and why they are relatively rare ...

[quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="1561" id="3415364"]Quick question, they just released new content - Stellar Phenomena, will this mean that the new content will break compatibility if I get it?[/quote] As far as I am aware ... DLC's do not break the game if you do not have it/them. [quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="1561" id="3415364"]Also, were black holes meant to destroy trade ships? They seem to be killing them right now.[/quote] Yes, no ... maybe

[quote who="Adoh2" reply="1559" id="3413598"]Can Replicators settle Greenhouse Planets? I can't find any research that mentions it, or I may simply be blind.[/quote] Couple of problems with the new planet research in R6 (DLC) ... so no you are not blind. [quote who="Adoh2" reply="1559" id="3413598"]does the Rebel Replicators titans ability called, nano disassemblers (I think, the one that heals the titan and does mild AoE damage)work as the tooltip says?.

[quote who="BrightGALAXY" reply="1550" id="3398597"]For some reason, the planet graphics seems to be glitched.[/quote] Problem here is the meshes for the original planets changed from one patch to another and it appears my file check software does not consistently check binary files (i.e mesh) To fix ... go into the Maelstrom mods folders and the mesh folder in particular. Delete all planets meshes for Terran, Ice, Volcanic and Desert

[quote who="Dark_Ansem" reply="1549" id="3397881"]where did you get the inspiration for the new races?[/quote] Norlamin race is from the series of books "Skylark ..." by Doc Smith Replicator race is built and conceptualized around the replicate ability ... developed from there TA originally BSG concepts and models

[quote who="XATHOS" reply="1546" id="3396303"] It still doesn't help the tangled mess you call a tech tree.[/quote] Curious to hear any observations you have on the Tech tree and where you consider it tangled... some of the new DLC research has been thrown in where it fits ... Loyalist and Rebels factions are starting to have unique research [quote who="XATHOS" reply="1546" id="3396303"] Research and balance was always this mod's weakness[/quote] I

[quote who="XATHOS" reply="1544" id="3396237"] I read that you removed lots of research. I was happy... until I loaded up the game. I think you added just as much as your "removed". The tech trees still look like an entangled mess with far too much on each faction.[/quote] Number of research items for the new races is similar to the original races

[quote who="digdug83" reply="1542" id="3395755"] The Replicators bombardment research is blocked due to Planetary Weapons research being removed.[/quote] Cheers ... for the Rebel faction

[quote who="digdug83" reply="1539" id="3395536"]The Ancient and Ring worlds still won't allow you to build there unless you do auto-build though [/quote] I noticed it too ... but a bit late to change it. I think that this got "lost in the wash" moving to the DLC. I'll increase the gravity wells in the next release.

[quote who="Xak1982" reply="1536" id="3395469"]not seeing in any of the research through colonization to colonize planets such as oceanic, jungle, etc. just giant and hi-tec[/quote] I remember what I did ... I changed some of the Maelstrom planet research types to the new DLC planet types ... bugg..er. I'll change them back in the next release

[quote who="Xak1982" reply="1536" id="3395469"]not seeing in any of the research through colonization to colonize planets such as oceanic, jungle, etc. just giant and hi-tec[/quote] Have you purchased the DLC?

[quote who="soase-maelstrom" reply="1531" id="3395346"]I thought if you have DLC functionality in the mod then people both with DLC and without can still play the mod[/quote] I have not tried to turn off the DLC (steam), if it is possible, to test.
