Features
- Adds a Space Platform Hub Chest that allows instant transportation of items placed inside to the local Space Platform Hub.
- Unlocks after Space Science, requiring only red, green, blue, and space science packs (unless changed by another mod).
- Can only be placed on Space Platforms, linking them to the local Space Platform Hub.
- Relays signals from the local Platform Hub, allowing inserters near the Space Hub Chest to set item insertion thresholds.
- Can be used alongside the original mod, which is required when playing with the Platformer mod.
In this case, any pre-existing items will be converted from the old mod to the new one, after which the original mod's assets will be hidden, essentially making this mod the de facto replacement.
Limitations
- By default, Space Hub Chest only allows items of the same or lower quality (so you will require higher quality chests to accept higher quality items). This setting can be disabled to allow all items at all qualities.
- Items can only be placed inside via inserters or loaders; they cannot be manually added, and they cannot be opened.
- Item teleportation is near-instantaneous, and one-way; items cannot be removed from the Space Hub Chest (this is a limitation of the hacky method being used to send items from chest to hub)
Credits
- The graphics for the chest were modified from the original art used for the Void Chest Mod, created by Buggi
- The code for this mod taken almost entirely from the Space Placeform Chest mod, created by Corlin, with a few personal modifications
Reasoning is detailed in the FAQs
Changes
- Changed the mod name from "Space Placeform Chest" to "Space Platform Hub Chests"
Changed the internal name to space-hub-chest
Changed the localized name to Space Hub Chest - Modified the graphics as requested by the original artist to the original mod author
- Removed the item filter requirements, allowing for all items to be placed inside the Space Hub Chest
Changed the way quality filtering worked, allowing higher quality chests to accept items from equal or lower qualities (instead of just equal qualities)
Also added setting to disable the quality filtering entirely, allowing any quality item inside any quality Space Hub Chest - Updated the technology requirement from Steel Chest to Space Science Pack
Changed the technology pack requirements to red, green, blue, and space (from just red and green)
However, when Platformer mod is enabled, the technology requirements are reverted to that of the original mod, as they made more sense in that context. - Fixed an error when placing Space Hub Chests on Space Platform Hubs that are anything other than normal quality
- Added a migration script to use when upgrading from an existing save file (preserves chests already in place, though they will need to be removed and re-placed to unset/reset their filters; also preserves the researched status of the technology)
