Odyssey’s new shuttles can make earlier VVE vehicles feel obsolete. This patch rebalances things by raising shuttle build costs and integrating Vanilla Vehicles Expanded parts into those shuttles.
What it does:
- Adds VVE components (Fuel Tank, Battery, Wiring, Exhaust, Suspension, Alternator) to the construction cost of Odyssey shuttles.
- Also patches other shuttle mods if present (e.g., Orca Shuttle., Odyssey Transport Shuttle.), so they require VVE parts too.
- Only affects new blueprints; existing shuttles aren’t changed.
Requirements & compatibility:
- Works only when both Odyssey (or the relevant shuttle mod) and Vanilla Vehicles Expanded are enabled.
- Pure XML patches; no C#.
- Compatible with most mods. If another mod also changes the same shuttle costs, last loaded wins.
Load order:
1. Odyssey (and any shuttle mods you want patched)
2. Vanilla Vehicles Expanded
3. This mod
Safe to add/remove?
- Add: Safe mid-save; new shuttles will use the updated costs.
- Remove: Safe; cancel and replace any in-progress blueprints that were using VVE parts.
Credits:
- Odyssey and Orca Shuttle authors for the original shuttles.
- Vanilla Vehicles Expanded team for the vehicle component defs.
