About Nexus Threat (2.1)

From Factorio Mod Portal

Storms, instability and the shield on Nexus: Nexus-Threat by Karu_Kiruna, updated for Factorio 2.1 until the original has a 2.1 release.

A fork of Nexus-Threat by Karu_Kiruna, updated for Factorio 2.1. All credit for the mod goes to Karu_Kiruna. It is a stopgap until the original has a 2.1 release; then this fork is deprecated. Source: GreenTech-Solutions/Nexus-Threat-Updated.

The storms, instability and shield of Nexus Extended Promethium Endgame (2.1). It comes as a dependency of Nexus-Updated.

What the fork changes

  • Factorio 2.1
  • The shield regeneration setting works: the shield regenerates outside storms
  • The shield is computed every 10 ticks over the stabilizers only (less script time during storms)
  • Debug commands are for admins only
  • Map settings for the storms: instability half-life, lightning chance per instability, lightning attempts per tick. The defaults keep the original behaviour
  • Remote interface nexus-threat for other mods: set_storm_multiplier(m), get_state()

Switching a save from Nexus-Threat

Install all three mods of the fork (Nexus-Updated, Nexus-Threat-Updated, Nexus-Graphics-Updated) before you load the save. A save loaded without them loses everything of Nexus.

Prototype and setting names are unchanged. The shield stabilizers keep their tier; the instability and the shield start from 0.
