About this Mod

A simple implmentation of upgrade items for Small Ships

Items

There are three items implemented, one for each major ship attribute: speed, health, and cargo.

  • smallships_upgrades:speed_upgrade
  • smallships_upgrades:health_upgrade
  • smallships_upgrades:cargo_upgrade

To apply an upgrade, right click on a ship with it. If the ship has enough upgrade slots to
accept the upgrade, the upgrade item will be consumed and the appropriate attribute will be increased.

Note

The mod adds these items, but does not add recipes for them or add them to loot tables. You'll have to do that yourself.

Configuration

upgradeRecyclePercentage

The percentage of upgrade items to drop when the ship is destroyed, rounding up. Defaults to 100.

speedIncrement

The number of points to increase a ship's speed for each upgrade applied. Defaults to 10.

healthIncrement

The number of points to increase a ship's health for each upgrade applied. Defaults to 20.

cargoIncrement

The number of 9-slot rows to add to the ship's cargo capacity for each upgrade applied. Defaults to 6 (54 slots, one
full page).

caps

A list of upgrade caps for each ship type, in the format

    {
        "name": "cog",
        "speed": 8,
        "health": 2,
        "cargo": 6
    }

Unknown ship types will be ignored. If there are duplicate entries for a ship type, the last entry wins.
