NAR Alpha 1 for UAD 1.7

[o Barão]

BETA v1.1.2 N.A.R. changelog:

• Updated to UAD 1.4.0.5

[Anthropoid]

I built an 1890 Japan CA using the Hybrid Light Cruiser hull. Initial displacment was 3699/4100. I then made some refits and all 13 or 14 of them have been refitted a couple times, and those refits were probably in the 4099/4100 when they were saved. However, now when I open the most recent refit model it looks like this:

So I guess some techs have increased the mass of components on the thing? Other than just NOT refitting them anymore, and/or waiting for additional techs to bring the displacement back below 4100, any methods for dealing with this?

Any easy way to figure out what changed that added ~235 tons to it?

I've encountered the build only subs bug several times. I think nick mentioned that if the auto design just can't come up with anything, that's all it builds. So I don't think adjusting build chance will help.

If that’s the reason that’s extra annoying as I’m running an ‘always’ shared design campaign with a bunch of designs loaded ☹️ I will investigate this ‘submarines’ file 😄 I assume though I can’t remove them from an existing game, or is it the save file I need to be tinkering with?

The changes by the devs in the last patch.

I think you need a new campaign to avoid any issues. Unless you want to spend hours digging the save file to remove all the subs from the save file. 😁

Maybe when they stop updating the game so frequently I'll have a go at that

Running both vanilla and my own supermod, and running MelonLoader/UnityExplorer in the background, I'm seeing alot (ALOT) of failed builds, every turn through a game.
And starting a new campaign is utter madness in failed builds, probably a reason why it takes soo long to simulate the start of a new game. Many times the message "unable to build anything for <nation>" appears (nation will still have some ships, so not sure exactly how accurate that message is).
The biggest culprits are under/overweight and empty barbettes. The empty barbette thing puzzles me, it should not be possible. Just schtick something on there...

...and to the point, this might be why there are so many subs, in relation to proper ships

I know in the past the auto designs were quite terrible, but having observed issues with the shared designs, I play almost exclusively with Shared Designs OFF. It is a real bummer, but it seems the Shared Designs feature just isn't finished.

I would say the auto designs for the Bot nations are consistently reasonable now. I've even seen some instances where they were actually "good" designs.

ADDIT: course . . . it has to be noted that, that was probably a month ago. They make so many changes to the game, on an almost daily basis, it is hard to know what state it is actually in from day to day . . .

Fully agree, the ships designed seem to be, for the most part, pretty decent builds. Heck, last few battles with me Japan and Germany I got my ass handed to me in a fleet battle (6bb and some bc on each  side plus 20 support). Their tech was on par with mine, in the right timeframe, not 10 years after they got it

I've noticed that the auto designer seems to work faster and the AI doesn't struggle nearly as hard for designs. Of course, it's still slow, but it's especially noticeable in early-start campaigns; loading doesn't seem to take as long. It's not perfect, but a noticeable improvement.

Could it be that in the latest version the casemate changes are missing?

I can only pick 2" and 3" for my CL classes.

I will fix in a couple minutes.

[Panzergraf]

Some of the CL's I made (1918 Chinese semi armored cruiser IV, 1918 AH semi armored cruiser III) with 9" guns now has the Error: Available, apparently as 9" are no longer available for this type of CL.

BETA v1.1.3 N.A.R. changelog:

• Fixed the issues with casemates limitations on many ship classes and the main guns on CLs
• As a bonus, the casemates limits on CA were upgraded from 5" to 6".

How to keep the mod up-to-date with minor changes? Reinstall 

resource.assets 

or

English.lng

 

or both?

With a lot of patience because sometimes it is not easy.

This time took me a while because there are many small changes made by the devs in the "technologies" file. It is already uploading and should be ready in a few minutes.

 

Always replace the resource assets and the English file when a new update is launched. Usually the English file is always the same and you don't need to download again.

BETA v1.1.4 N.A.R. changelog:

• Updated to UAD 1.4.0.5R.

[Anthropoid]

This mod is fantastic! My crews finally understand how to fire torpedoes!

[Fangoriously]

soooo nick was hesitant to let up to 8in guns be placed on American mk1 main guns, you can put 5 or 6in guns on them, but like, you could enable that...

BETA v1.1.5 N.A.R. changelog:

• Updated to UAD 1.4.0.5Rx2
• Major threat chance nerfed. This should fix the issue where the player gets too many events to conquer minor nations in a short period.
• Turrets barbette weight lowered.

is it not possible to make your fleets do port strikes directly?

Because if it is, I want that implemented, because it makes no sense ships doing nothing in front of an enemy port.

Already in game.

 

When you start the game click on "News" and you will read the mod title above.

Also in the dockyard you will see the "scout plane" add on and the changes to the armor descriptions that are unique from this mod.

 

Have fun!

So it seems, that the mod has somehow become "uninstalled" on my rig.

I noticed this because: I had a 275t TB model that I had refitted to carry 25 mines. Got the new tech for 50 mines and went to upgrade it and found that there were no longer any mines in my 275t minelayer TB.

I'm guessing that this was just a result of the game auto-updating?

ADDIT: Thankfully, just downloading and re-overwriting the two files (English and Resource) seems to have fixed.

I did briefly install the "New Horizons" package but decided to delete it. Maybe I deleted the mod too?
