MetalFarmMania

Description

MetalFarmMania is a UE4SS C++ mod for Subnautica 2 that adds configurable Metal Farm recipes. It lets you define custom inputs, outputs, and growth timing through a JSONC config file.

Installation instructions

• Install UE4SS for Subnautica 2.[/*]

• Copy the MetalFarmMania mod folder from the downloaded zip into your UE4SS/Mods directory.[/*]

• Create or edit MetalFarmAdditions.jsonc in the UE4SS/Mods/MetalFarmMania folder.[/*]

• Configure your custom recipes using the MetalFarmAdditions.jsonc file and restart the game after changes. (Probably a good idea to remove the examples)[/*]

• If you have issues setting up the config JSON, feel free to comment here for help or post an issue on the github for this project: Github Link[/*]

Updating

If you you are updating from the first version and have already set up the config, your current setup will still work, however make sure you do not override this config when updating to the new version as it includes a config with new examples for the friendly names that are now supported.

Guide

I have created a quick little video on installing and configuring the mod, I could probably go into more depth in the video but if you do need more details on how to setup and config the entries just follow the github link and post a new issue and i will see what I can do about helping you out ASAP.

Config Examples

Simply replace the contents of your config file with the JSON in the spoiler to add that specific recipe.

• Axum Bacteria

{

    "schemaVersion": 2,

    "entries": [{

            "id": "AxumBacteriaFromAxumBacteria",

            "inputItem": "AxumBioprintCulture",

            "growthTimeSeconds": 600,

            "outputs": [{

                    "outputItem": "AxumBioprintCulture",

                    "yield": 1,

                    "dropChance": 1.0

                }

            ]

        }

    ]

}

Known Bugs

- Incorrect items allowed in metal farm.

• Items that share the same gameplay tag can sometimes be inserted into a Metal Farm slot even when they are not the exact configured recipe input.[/*]

• A full fix for this behavior has not been found yet.[/*]

• If the inserted item is not exactly the configured input item, the Metal Farm will not progress or grow.[/*]

• Example: if a recipe is configured for regular Fins, Improved Fins can still be inserted because of shared tags, but the farm will only grow when regular Fins are inserted.[/*]
