[FSF] More Psycast Powers
Vanilla Psycasts Expanded Compatibility and the Future
This mod is not compatible with Vanilla Psycasts Expanded.
It should be compatible with future game versions without requiring updates.
This mod is discontinued and if anyone would like to pick it up or merge it with another mod feel free to do so. I'm not a coder nor a texture artist so this mod was always a little hacky using what was available to make new psycasts. Unfortunately lacking those skills prevented me from doing a lot of cooler stuff. If I do anything further with psycasts it'll probably just be minor tweaks like the included options of this mod.
I'm very thankful to Oskar and his team for giving the psycast system a proper expansion. The sheer amount of abilities is staggering. I can only imagine the work they put into it.
Description
This is a simple mod that adds a bunch of new psycasts. I looked over the vanilla psycasts carefully so they should be fairly balanced cost wise. I'll tweak the numbers if necessary and I may add more psycasts in the future.
Mod options are enabled when Vanilla Expanded Framework is detected. To use them go to Vanilla Expanded Framework in the mod settings and click next page until you find the mod settings. After changing any settings you will have to restart the game for them to take effect. All options are off by default.

Mod options are enabled when [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023507013]Vanilla Expanded Framework[/url] is detected.

List of Settings
Disable Psycast X - Allows you to disable any single psycast from this mod. It will remove the psycast from loading with the game. You won't be able to find it and it simply won't exist. This will likely throw errors if you do it on an existing save where someone has the psycasts. If you disable a psycast like stasis while having its changes enabled you will get an error, disable the changes and the psycast.
Mini buff icons - Adds miniature buff icons visible below a pawn when the following psycasts are active Blinding Pulse, Focus, Painblock, Psyblade and Steelskin. No more checking the health panel on everyone, now you only need to look for the icon to see if an ability's duration has run out.
Flashstorm has smaller more accurate targeting - Reduces flashstorms targeting radius to 2.4 and allows it to target pawns.
Skip isn't considered hostile - Disables the goodwill loss when skip and mass skip is used on friendlies.
Skip goes through walls - Allows skip and mass skip to target locations through walls so you can jump past walls or into buildings.
Skipshield allows outgoing projectiles - Enables the ability to shoot through skipshields while inside them. This makes it function like the low shield packs.
Solar Pinhole provides sunlight - Changes Solar Pinhole to provide actual sunlight capable of growing crops. The radius is identical to a sunlamp.
Waterskip can target pawns - Enables waterskip to target pawns directly. So you won't have to swear at your monitor while trying to douse a pawn running around on fire.
Stasis can target animals, friendlies and enemies - Enables targeting animals, friendlies and enemies with stasis. This does allow you to target healthy pawns so it can be abused if you aren't careful.
