    well, I think that's the end (there's a person somewhere on the enemy ship)

    "Deep Storage/Installation" for Augments.

    Posted: 05 Oct 2020 03:24 PM PDT

    There are too few ways to utilize augments in the game. This can be horribly frustrating, especially in Captain's Edition, where a lot of cool lore/useful augments are pretty bad because other augments are more valuable.
    My idea was to create a "Deep Storage and Installation" entity. This mod would provide an option at empty beacons to install one of the augments in an active slot in an empty room, much like a system.

    Some of these augments can go into empty rooms on the ship where systems could not ordinarily go. Others could be installed as part of a system, depending on the size of the room. 2-cell rooms could contain 1, while 4-cell rooms could contain 2.

    Installing augments can have various effects, including technical mishaps, a breach or a fire, letting the Rebel Fleet advance, or simply failing to work.

    Shipwide Augments affect the entire ship and cannot be installed in a particular room. Installing these augments may let the Rebel Fleet advance even further because of the time it takes to install them.

    Installing augments will cost scrap, and the costs increases according to the upgrade level of the system it's installed in and the amount of augments already installed.

    If you want to uninstall them, that will also require an empty beacon. Only the latest 3 augments installed in this matter will be available for removal.

    Here's a list of augments and where they would go (or not), vanilla and CE both (I do not include installation prices because those will vary with the game, modlist, and difficulty):

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sector Scanner: Sensors.

    No modified vanilla augments will have different requirements from their normal vanilla couterparts.

    ​

    -------------------------------------------

    Please let me know what you think, and feel free to constructively criticize, bring up balance concerns, or whatever. I know this will make the game somewhat easier, so optionally I could make it so that you could not use certain augments before installing them, but you could still store them in augment slots.

    Multiple FTL profiles...

    Posted: 05 Oct 2020 03:27 AM PDT

    ... are useful for running different versions of the game (with different mods) with separate profiles. This task can be achieved by using a simple batch file, here is a Windows example where "c:\ftl-desperate\" is path to modded FTL:

    SET USERPROFILE=C:\ftl-desperate\

    START c:\ftl-desperate\FTLGame.exe

    Kudos to FTLWiki. I believe this is important and deserves more attention.
