Thanks! I attached them.

These two are same... are you getting the warning when you move one of them to the other platform?

Nice!

Is the option of always be able to transfer the loot after battle (versus only when there is no more room), still on the to-do-some-day list ?

EDIT:
New OXCE v5.4 is up.
 - Shift+click to swap loaded ammo
 - Shift+click for instant unload
I can unload the ammo directly to the ground if Shift+click. What the other option does?
It appears there are many more keyboard shortcuts than those found in the Options Menu.  Is there a page with all of the OXCE current controls available to the player ?

If you are holding an ammo in the hand already, you can use shift+click to swap that ammo with an already loaded ammo in the gun.
I.e. "ammo swap" instead of "unload + load"

If there is something missing, you're more than welcome to add it.

- TU recovery each turn is now additive (same as e.g. energy recovery), cannot go over maximum, encumberance/wound penalties are applied at the end

Wouldn't it be preferable for encumbrance/wound penalties to be applied before cumulating TUs, so a heavily over encumbered dog could build up enough TUs over several turns to drop the corpse in its backpack. (Not that such an issue happened to me :P ) Also have a minimum of 1 TU regenerated per turn.

Not vanilla compatible... it would mean that there are never any penalties in vanilla.

This kind of penalty can be written using scripts - I recently re-wrote overweight penalties in the 40k mod to apply to energy instead of TUs.

That would require editing tags on every armour in the game, right?

No, not necessarily. I wrote a single, global script to handle this. Any exceptions can be made at the armor or item level, but the base mechanics didn't require extra script ruleset tags on every armor.

That's way better than I expected!
Not going to run with this straight away or anything, but could you share this script? It sounds potentially relevant to any mod.

1 hour difference is caused by the fact that separate refuel/rearm/repair times are calculated rounded to whole hours up... but the actual actions are performed in 30 minute intervals; so something that takes 0.5+0.5+0.5  = 1.5 hours is shown as 1+1+1 = 3 hours (instead of 2 hours)

I'm talking about how every time the craft says X hours, X hours later it says it's 100% complete but still in-process. It seems to put the craft in ready status at the end of the first time slot for which nothing is done to it, and not at the beginning of that time slot. It works the same whether it's doing things on multiple parts of the craft or not--example, loading a weapon that takes 2 hours, it says it takes 2 hours and it properly fills ammo 4 times in that 2 hours, but the weapon will be full and the craft still says Rearming.

Sorry, I did not understand any of this.

Please provide a starting save, screenshot of each step and which number is correct and which is wrong.
