This mod is being released in an unpolished state right now due to the update of the internal structure of the FTL game. You will need Slipstream Mod Manager 1.9.1 to install this mod. This mod includes 6 additional ships, new interiors (on some ships), new damage text. Would like a mod that lets you trade scrap for hull repairs when out of combat. Have you tried out the repair arm? Never even seen it. Which is why I would rather have a mod since I don't like my survival depending on whether I find a store or not. I wouldn't even mind if there was like penalty of it allowing the Rebel Fleet to get a jump closer.

Beginning Scrap Mod
This is a slight upgrade to the Scrap Advantage mod that comes with Grognak's Mod Manager. As you begin your journey to save the federation, take a moment to make the most of a nearby system.

Peacefully mine some scrap to give yourself a little boost, or take some by force from a nearby settlement...
Be careful though, they will not be happy about you wrecking their homes and taking what is theirs...

Mods

Ship data is divided between several files. For example, the Kestrel has a kestral.txt (sic) that details the room/door layout, a kestral.xml file for explosion data and position of weapon slots, and an entry in blueprints.xml defining the game data of the ship.

A ship editor GUI is in development.

Another editor has already been released, but it lacks many key features, such as loading the XML file.

Yet another ship editor - Superluminal - is available and constantly updated. Allows the user to modify pretty much every property of a ship.

Graphics[edit]

Filename	Description
(ship)	Indicates the ship's name. Example, Zoltan A is 'energy_cruiser' Thus 'energy_cruiser_base.png', etc.
(ship)_base.png	The base image file of the ship, seen when no rooms are displayed.
(ship)_floor.png	The gray background image behind rooms. Used only on player ships.
(ship)_gib#.png	The pieces that are displayed when a ship breaks apart. '#' is 1-6 for player ships, 1-4 for enemy ships.
(ship)_cloak.png	The pale outline when a ship engages its cloaking device. A <cloakImage>(another_ship)</cloakImage> can be included in the ship's blueprint file, to make it use another ship's cloak graphic. Cloak images are 10 pixels bigger in every direction than base images. For example, a 200x200 ship graphic should have a 220x220 cloak image. Otherwise, the cloak image is stretched in-game to match these dimensions.
(ship)_shields1.png	The shields displayed for a particular ship. A <shieldImage>(another_ship)</shieldImage> can be included in the ship's blueprint file, to make it use another ship's shield graphic.

TXT File[edit]

Ftl More Scrap Mod Curseforge

Code	Description
X_OFFSET
<number>	[<number>*35 offsets the entire ship in the X axis]
Y_OFFSET
<number>	[<number>*35 offsets the entire ship in the Y axis]
HORIZONTAL
<number>	[<number> offsets the entire ship in the X axis by this many pixels. Has no apparent effect on enemy ships]
VERTICAL
<number>	[<number> offsets the entire ship in the Y axis by this many pixels]
ELLIPSE	[The shield graphic uses these parameters. Also determines the collision perimeter and orbit on which defense drones move.]
<width>	[Actually half of the ellipse's final width.] Does not affect the width of player ships' shield graphic.
<height>	[Actually half of the ellipse's final height.] Does not affect the height of player ships' shield graphic.
<x-offset>	[Offsets the shield graphic by <x-offset> pixels.]
<y-offset>	[Offsets the shield graphic by <y-offset> pixels.]
ROOM
<id>	[Unique ID]
<x>	[How many tiles from 0 the room is on the X-axis]
<y>	[How many tiles from 0 the room is on the Y-axis]
<w>	[How wide is the room, in tiles]
<h>	[How tall is the room, in tiles]
DOOR
<x>	[How many tiles from 0 the door is on the X-axis]
<y>	[How many tiles from 0 the door is on the Y-axis]
<Left/Top room ID>	[ID of the room to the left, or top, of this door.] Value of -1 means the door functions as an airlock, and will drain oxygen from the other room when opened.
<Right/Bottom room ID>	[ID of the room to the right, or bottom, of this door.] Value of -1 means the door functions as an airlock, and will drain oxygen from the other room when opened.
<vertical/horizontal>	[Determines whether the door is vertical or horizontal.] 0 = door is horizontal, 1 = door is vertical. Door always snaps to the left or top wall of the tile at which it is located.

Note
It's possible to move between two rooms as long as there is a door that links them, no matter which ID is used.
However, airlocks will not work that way.
For this reason, it is better to link rooms using the following logic -- it guarantees that both rooms and airlocks will work correctly:

XML File[edit]

Ftl More Scrap Mod 1.12.2

Code	Description
<img x='#' y='#' w='#' h='#'/>	Determines the size and X/Y offeset of (ship)_base.png
X=	Slides the base image left (negative value) or right (positive value)
Y=	Slides the base image up (negative value) or down (positive value)
W=	The width of the (ship)_base.png Can cause stretching if set higher or lower than actual (ship)_base dimensions
H=	The height of the (ship)_base.png Can cause stretching if set higher or lower than actual (ship)_base dimensions
<weaponMounts>
<mount x='#' y='#' rotate='true' mirror='false' gib='#' slide='down'/>	Determines the placement and movement of ship-mounted weaponry.
X= / Y=	X,Y Coordinates determine where the weapon appears on the ship. Origin (0,0) is determined by the top-left corner of (ship)_base.png and is not affected by <img> offset values
Note:	All default weapon sprites face upwards with mounting points to the left.
rotate=	True - Turns the weapon sprite 90 degrees clockwise. Used on player ships to make weapons face right. False - Weapon remains vertically aligned. Used on enemy ships to keep weapons facing up.
mirror=	True - Flips the weapon horizontally. Used for player weapons on the top of ships / Enemy weapons on left side. Independent of rotate= tagFalse - Weapon sprite maintains original orientation.
gib=	The chunk of ship the weapon remains attached to when destroyed. Allows weapon to 'drift' with destroyed wreckage.
slide=	Determines which way the weapon moves when powered up. Accepted values are Up , Down , Left , Right , No
</weaponMounts>
<explosion>
<gib#>	Determines alignment of (ship)_gib#.png, and movement during ship destruction
<velocity min='0.6' max='1'/>	Determines speed of gib movement. Game randomly selects a value between minimum / maximum values.
<direction min='60' max='120'/>	Direction of gib movement. Values between 0-360, rotational. Negative values allowed. Value of 0 is equivalent to facing north. Helps create image of ship blowing apart, rather than collapsing in on itself. Direction of gibs should face outwards from center.
<angular min='-0.4' max='-0.1'/>	Creates 'spin' on gib chunks, causing rotation as pieces move away. Value of 10 is equivalent to a full revolution.
<x>0</x>	Horizontal offset, determined from origin of (ship)_base
<y>0</y>	Vertical offset, determined from origin of (ship)_base
</gib#>
</explosion>

Ftl Infinite Scrap Mod

Notes[edit]

• Slots are numbered progressively in rows, beggining at the top left corner, and ending at bottom right corner. For example, in a 2x2 room, slots in top row would be numbered 0 and 1, while in a 3x2 room 0, 1 and 2, with bottom row having numbers 3, 4 and 5.
• Man-able systems and medbay have default slots, for when they're not explicitly defined in the blueprints file.

System	Default slot and direction
Pilot	0, right
Weapons	1, up
Shields	0, left
Engines	2, down
Medbay	1, N/A

Because of this, systems that are assigned to small enough rooms without an explicitly defined slot will bug, making the station inaccessible.

Ftl Ship Mods

• If a ship has artillery system, but doesn't have a weapon mount assigned to it, the artillery weapon will shoot from beyond the screen, left-hand side. For the graphic to show up properly, the ship's xml file has to have five weapon mounts declared, the fifth mount being the artillery weapon.
• If a ship has no crew declared in blueprint file, it is considered an automated ship, with all systems appearing manned by non-experienced crew.
• For player ships, all systems except artillery have to be declared. If a system declaration is not present, it will bug - it won't be available at the start, but it will be purchaseable, and once the player buys the system at a store, it won't show up on the ship, systems interface nor in the upgrade tab.
• Shield graphic uses the ellipse properties in ship's .txt file; offset applies for both player and enemy ships, but the graphic's dimensions only affect enemy ships' shields.
• Shield mechanic is collision based; the ellipse property in .txt file is used to determine the collision perimeter. If a ship's room is not inside this ellipse, it will be possible to hit it even if the shields are raised (as long as the missile comes at such an angle that it won't collide with ellipse prior to reaching its target).
