- 0.202.86
Simplicity picks up where v0.201.378 QuickFix left off due to the unexpected release of v0.202.86.
As StarMade modding moves closer to reality, the time for customConfigs is approaching!
This config aims to give servers and single-players an alternative to the default-vanilla config...
something that has not been done since 2014 / 2015.
This config brings back the simple StarMade which ended with v0.201.378.
Ships & stations built to v0.202.86 QF-Config are usable with Simplicity!
This config is for players:
Custom-Config-Concept / Lore
Damage Beam:
Energy-weapons (Beam) are best against shields (energy-shielding), they disrupt shield stability.
Beam displays reduced efficiency against armor ( blocks that are built to resist [EM] effects).
Death-Beam re-instated and v0.202.86 compliant to keep the new long-range-sniper-pulse delivered with the v0.202.86 release!
New combo is beam + missile, it is now a short-range high intensity beam (<20km)!
Cannon / Missile:
Kinetic + Thermal weapons are best against Armor.
All types: devastate systems!
Armor:
Armor has been reverse-engineered to pre 0.202.86 and is working better than before (0.201.378*)!
The highly scalable nature of StarMade makes it hard to find a "golden mean", large weapons are devastating for any target.
This config gives damage a new "scale"; small scale weapons will have to grind a bit to destroy armor, large scale weapons will have to work a bit harder, and [EM] based weapons are simply not the most efficient against armor.
Shields:
RechargePerBlock has been buffed back up to 15.
Power consumption reduced.
Thrusters:
Thruster rollover has been pushed high enough to not matter for casual players, (ca. 1,000,000 mass).
... but that does not mean it will be easy to go fast, it will require sacrifices to other systems to achieve higher speeds as your ships grow larger!
How to Install: Unzip files... Copy the files as follows:
customBlockBehaviorConfig.xml - into the customBlockBehaviorConfig folder...
PATH: C:\.... StarMade\customBlockBehaviorConfig
BlockConfigImport.xml - into the customBlockConfig folder...
PATH: C:\.... StarMade\customBlockConfig
Once the config has been installed and game ran once (1), I recommend deleting / re-naming the BlockConfigImport.xml,
(to speed-up load times, values will be safe in StarMade\data\config\blockConfig.xml until the next update is performed*).
Revert back to vanilla configuration:
1. Delete or rename the customBlockBehavior.xml
2. Delete or rename the BlockConfigImport.xml, (if not already done as recommended above*).
3. Update Starmade backwards to the previous release, then back up to the current release again,
(this must be done to replace the blockConfig.xml with the default configuration, or make a backup of the original first!).
ReadMe.txt included for installation and converting back to default configs*

ChangeList:
shield recharge: RechargePerBlock: 15 - (QF-default: 5)
Beam: PowerConsumptionCharging: 50.0 - (QF-default: 100.0)
Missile: PowerConsumptionCharging: 50.0 - (QF-default: 100.0)
Cannon: PowerConsumptionCharging: 50.0 - (QF-default: 100.0)
Thruster: PowerConsumptionPerBlockInUse: 12.5 - (QF-default: 25)
Also recommended: Vanilla Extension 250 Pack ...
Proven "Update compatible" since 2018!
Disclaimer:
These configs target casual Daves, i.e. players not interested in hardcore-blockspam-Meta-PvP.
Fact is; game assets, most community content, and casual players do not build to this codex.
Casual players will benefit from this most.
This is finished.

Ships & stations built to v0.202.86 QF-Config are usable with Simplicity!
This config is for players:
- not interested in META / exploits.
- not interested in blockspamming layers upon layers of armor.
- that want more build freedom.
- that want simplicity.
