Learn how the mod works.


I don't mod games. got it?
everything i was told in this forum is all i know about it. (other then the ship editor but it just codes a ship for you) and tell me if you meant to be nice but it sounds like your just trying to be an jerk to me so how about you just shut up and just help. it looks like they did that because of that. i even asked other people who played it(and don't mod games) and they guessed the same thing

I get what you're saying, but if you want me to help stop stating that I'm a jerk.

It's alright English, that was directed at agigabyte (if you check the quote).
And Gig, stop being so condescending, not everyone's familiar with the intricacies of FTL modding.

Yoshi, likewise there's no call to get nasty. A little background on IS, so that you understand a little more of its function:
-Infinite Space works by looping you through the Secret Sector at the end of Sector 1. This means functionally, you are always stuck at Sector 1, with rewards scaled accordingly. The result (not becoming godlike by Sector 5) is more a byproduct of that approach than an intended effect.
-The main method for handing out scrap and other rewards is an <autoreward> tag for when ships are destroyed or have their crew murdered, with three settings: "Low", "Med", and "High". Most encounters reward Low, since nailing an auto-scout or slug interceptor is nothing special.

To an earlier point, there is one event that removes an augment: The Zoltan quest with the stasis pod. It is hardcoded to automatically remove the Stasis Pod augment.

Sorry, I get really annoyed when people fail to read/research. Believe it or not, I have a cool temper IRL.

Your idea would work if we had any way to remove augments or blueprints... However, you could work around that by portraying, say, missiles as food, and then having an event that would by default kill a crewmember, and a blue option requiring 1 missile that allows the player to save all crew, but lose 1 missile.
Not sure how conditionals involving ammo work, though... I think the vanilla events are hardcoded in that regard.

what about something like this (IF you can code it):
Your crew is getting hungry. you stop to get some food
1.don't buy any food
One crew member dies
2.(30 or more scrap) Buy food
-30 scrap

It's not that hard to write, though that scrap cost is steep.

Its worth it to save a crewmember.
