Overview
Derelict Delights (sometimes referred to as 'DD', and sourced from Github or Nexusmods) is a mod with the original intention to expand upon the pool of ships that can be found in the rings, having since expanded to several other aspects of the game, including expanding the event pool, adding new equipment and crew agendas, and making balance tweaks to several mechanics.
New Events
Derelicts
This mod adds 2 new derelicts to the game, which is best being compiled into a single section including their stats. For more info on how these numbers are calculated, check the section's footnote.
| Ship | Default chance at 0 E$ | Minimum chance | Valued maximum money | Actual maximum money | Chaos ** |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bald Eagle | 15% | 1% | 2 million E$ | 1,866,666 E$ | 0.6 |
| AT-K225 (modified) | 10% | 1% | 2 million E$ | 1,800,000 E$ | 0.6 |
- Footnote:
- * Chance equation:
clamp(randomChance * (1 - CurrentGame.getMoney() / moneyCeiling), minimumChance, 1)The equation works as follows: start with one, subtract the divident of your current bank balance by the valued maximum money, then multiply the product by the default chance. It is then checked to see if it is between1and the minimum chance value (10% or 0.1 by default). This equation only happens when a derelict event is selected, if it fails this chance, then the storyteller cycles to the next event in the playlist. - ** Chaos: The brightness of the section of the rings you're in, for reference a chaos of 0.65 is the minimum chaos needed to start the Western music. This value is used for the minimum brightness for a specific derelict to be found.

Miner NPCs

Containers
This mod adds a handful of container-based events on top of the usual rogue THICC.
| Event | What it is | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Large storage pod | Interlunar container filled with a random amount of each mineral, up to 45 tonnes | Will attempt to flee the area of the rings, can be reprogrammed and sent back as your container if caught in a cradle |
| Super large storage pod | Interplanetary container filled with a random amount of each mineral, up to 120 tonnes | Will attempt to flee the area of the rings, can be reprogrammed and sent back as your container if caught in a cradle. Catching in a cradle starts the Historian questline |
| Extra cargo container | Empty standard THICC | Completely inert, used by the container recall system, needs a cradle to claim and utilize. |
| Extra monocargo container | Empty standard THIMC | Completely inert, used by the container recall system, needs a cradle to claim and utilize. |
Vilcy and Ganymedean Encounters
Several new encounters with the Ganymedeans and the Vilcy are added in this mod.
| Encounter | Faction | Needs faction base destroying? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pirate Eagle | G4A | None | 2 Eagles spawn at a time with this encounter, both using dual CL-200APs |
| High Performance Pirate | G4A | Ganymedean Anarchy Station | Eagle prospector fitted with dual CL-600Ps and dual maintenance drones, paired with 5 tonnes of drones. Likely difficult to destroy. |
| Vilcy Battleship | Vilcy | Big Bad Wolf | AT-K225 fitted with two CL-200APs and 6 PDMWGs |
| High Performance Battle (no G4A) | Both | Ganymedean Anarchy Station | 2 High performance pirates against 1 Vilcy battleship |
| High Performance Battle (no BBW) | Both | Big Bad Wolf | 2 Vilcy battleships against 1 high performance pirate |
Habitat Under Construction (SRA-08)
An eighth habitat which is still under construction in the rings. Does not spin and offers a few new purchasing offer. The arm attached to the completed side can hold 1,000 times more mass than normal due to the station not spinning.
New Crew Agendas
Historian
Currently the only new agenda provided by the mod, and with very limited usability. Used for obtaining the interplanetary container equipment.
The historian's questline starts by communicating with an interplanetary container that had just been captured by one of your cradles. It is continued by talking to the habitat under construction and then other mining crews, which rarely may provide you with a lead to a derelict containing the necessary paperwork to obtain the container.
New Equipment
THI Interlunar Container
A larger variant of the THI Cargo Container. It is more massive, and can contain up to 45 tonnes of each mineral, rather than 15 tonnes of the normal THICC.
Costs 350,000 E$
Experimental Interplanetary Container
An item obtained at the end of the historian's questline. It is significantly larger than the interlunar cargo container, and is visually shown as such with external remass tanks and racing thrusters. It is a very massive container, weighing as much as 60,400 kg
Costs: 1,100,000 E$
Game Tweaks
This mod provides a few tweaks to vanilla play in addition to the additional features.
Container Replacements
You can ask containers to receive a replacement cargo container or monocargo container, for the cost of 5,000 E$ and 10,000 E$ respectively.
Habitat Trade Balances
Balanced habitat trading by only allowing up to 100,000 kg of ore to be sold to them in a visit. Habitats will now uncommonly ask for tungsten and rarely ask for beryllium, with significantly reduced sell rates of 50,000 kg for tungsten, and 25,000 kg for beryllium.
Support for Other Mods
Derelict Delights is the first mod that provided support for other mods when they were installed alongside it, adding both NPC miners and derelicts to the ships each mod adds.
Currently it only supports a few handful of mods, with the list at current:
- DroneOCP
- K-Tech Industrial Shipyard
- Heavy Cothon
- Industries of Enceladus (both SPDX original and HEV rewrite editions of the mod)
- Extra support is provided for IoE's dyna-cargo containers, where they can be added to the request pool for container replacements.
Legacy Information
This information covers legacy versions of the mod, and are kept here only for documentation purposes. These features were originally parts of the mod, but implemented into the vanilla game.
