Quality Cargo Bays


Cargo bays whose throughput scales with quality: higher-quality cargo bays gain extra input/output hatches and a larger inventory bonus. Before uninstalling, turn the mod's Enabled setting off and load your save once (or run /qcb-revert) to convert bays back to vanilla.

Version: 0.0.1
Date: 2026-07-16
  Features:
    - Higher-quality cargo bays are swapped on build to hidden per-quality variants with extra
      cargo-pod hatches (standard cargo bay) and a larger inventory bonus (both the cargo bay
      and the landing-pad unloading bay). Scaling is tunable via startup settings.
    - Variants are generated for every quality (including modded/renamed tiers) and mine back to
      the vanilla item at their quality.
  Info:
    - Extra hatches reuse the base bay's own hatch definitions and offsets, so they line up with
      the bay's real pod opening instead of being placed on a computed ring. The vanilla cargo bay
      defines a single hatch, so extra hatches stack on that opening; throughput still scales with
      hatch count.
    - Uninstall safety: turn off the Enabled setting and load once, or run /qcb-revert, to convert
      all bays back to vanilla before removing the mod (otherwise the engine deletes variant bays
      whose prototype no longer exists).
    - Requires heroic-library >= 2.1.1, the first version that loads (2.1.0 shipped without
      recipe.lua and failed at the data stage).
