I'll be downloading this when I get home.

The mod adds three new anomaly groups (one for artifacts, one for capsules, and one for ship graveyards), so unless the anomaly groups or anomalies themselves use the same internal names as those in your mod, this should be compatible.

One potential issue I could see is balance--if your mod changes the weights of anomaly groups from what is in Crusade's AnomalyDefs.xml, the frequency of anomalies from my mod would be affected.

I'm 50 turns into a game attempting to use both this mod and krbjms's anomaly mod.  So far I've seen a few of his, but none of yours.  And I have anomalies on abundant, so I've explored a lot of them.

Do yours show on the map as "Artifacts", "Capsules", and "Ship Graveyards"?  I've noticed there are a lot (relatively) of Precursor Artifacts, and I'm wondering if some of those are yours.  Prior to 1.2.4 Precursor Artifacts were broken (at least I never saw any).  I guess I'll have to build a fleet powerful enough to explore some of them.

Ok, thanks.  I was wondering if the fact that you had created new anomaly groups in the XML had anything to do with it.  I should try a game with only your mod.

So, after some testing, I found that even if you use the same internal name of an anomaly group, I believe the game treats the mod as a separate group. I modded the original AnomalyDefs.xml to have only one Artifact and modded in a separate append mod with a single Artifact using the same internal name for the anomaly group. Only changes to the group weight mattered. If set to the same value, the anomaly frequency was 50/50 and the anomaly weights themselves had no impact (only one anomaly in each group).

So while krbjms's mod uses the same internal name for the anomaly groups, I believe the game treats them as separate groups--which means the frequency of his anomalies vs. the standard anomalies would be about 50% (if only his mod is installed)...

Balancing multiple anomaly mods will be tricky because each additional group changes the weight totals for all groups.

Note that using my mod and/or krbjms's mod will also lower the frequency for Precursor anomalies (normal frequency ~20%; with both mods, only ~9%).

I have a fix in the works for my mod's frequency that I think will help balance things out, but I don't think I'll have it ready for a couple days.

I would do this, but I am seeking to make something modular. I am planning a series of additional anomaly mods that I want to work together but at the same time give others the option to use any number of them. As a result, your solution isn't what I'm after. I also don't think it'd be right to publish a mod that contains DLC content, so in connection with my mod(s), I'm going to simply offer suggested changes to the weight of the Precursor Anomaly group to keep the weight equivalent to the setup without mods.

So, what I'm going to try is weighting the anomaly groups the same as the base anomalies and then adding additional anomalies to my anomaly groups that award credits to create the desired rarity for those anomalies that award resources.

By doing this, I believe the resource mod will maintain a greater share of overall anomaly distribution when additional anomaly groups are in play... we'll see.

Oh you're fine--it isn't anything to worry about.

As for Ship Graveyards, they got set to a weight of 5 (with the Crusade expansion, I think, but maybe before that). As a result, they are weighted at a little less than 4% (with Precursor DLC)...

I think the overall frequency of anomalies is governed by the MapSetupDefs.xml in combination with the Base value in MapSizeDefs.xml, but I'm not sure... I may mess with that at some point going forward, but I don't think anomaly frequency will be able to be manipulated without affecting everything else.

I've been using this mod in my current game and have been enjoying it - especially when I get something rare that I really need.  After reading about all the "goodies" that you've added to the new version of the mod, I'm tempted to start a new game with it before finishing my current one.

Oh shoot.  I started a new game before checking here, so I'm using the old version of your mod.  Anyway, I wanted to let you know that after dropping krbjms's mod to see if yours would work better without it, I found it does.  I've collected several resources from anomalies due to your mod in my current game.

For anyone trying this and seeing a lot of defended Artifacts, it's because I made an error in the text file. Most of those defended Artifacts are actually defended Space Junk. I'll have that fixed in an update this week.

installed and liking it! good job.

BUG  sometimes when i do battle at one of your anoms (and win) the anomaly is still there and i can't move on it. only happens with your anomalies 

      me sad too.   Any way to color the actual anomalies?  iirc Paul said this would be tricky
