Multiverse Pod FAQ (Patreon)

Due to many questions:

Where do I get the multiverse pod?

V0.4: Ylyee appears at 15:00 in the bar after you have earned around 200k. Watch her dance and give her 500 Cr

V0.5: Ylyee appears from GAME day 10, no other conditions

How do I use it?

Select it in inventory, select use mode and use on cargo terminal

Everything in cargo will be shown for selection

Save your game before you use it!

Can I store x,y,z in it?

V0.4: Only subsystems and subunits in cargo

V0.5: Additionally 3 bots

No credits. You can buy expensive gear instead and put it in

How do I get my stuff into my new game?

>> Version 0.4, V0.5

After the pod has been filled, a file is created in your SJX/game... subfolder

The file is called "multiverse_pod.json"

Take the file, copy it into the same location in the new game version install

On the nav map, a rift with the pod will appear

Fly there, get your stuff (make sure cargo is sufficient, one access only)

>> Version V0.6 and above

After the pod has been filled, a file is created in your save games folder:++ WIN: Users/<your user>/Appdata/Roaming/Renpy/SpaceJourneyX++ MAC: Users/<your user>/Library/Renpy/SpaceJourneyXIf your renpy saves called LT-xx-xx are in that folder its the right one

The file is called "multiverse_pod.json"

V0.6 will automatically pull the file from there, no copy necessary

If you come from V0.5, just dump it once into above folder

On the nav map, a rift with the pod will appear

Fly there, get your stuff (make sure cargo is sufficient, one access only)

Can I edit the multiverse_pod.json file  to give me more stuff?

The file is hashed, if it is edited it will be considered corrupted

Use cheats for free stuff, that's easier anyway

Can I use it multiple times in a single game?

No, for every (new) game or restarted game you can use it once

The file remains unchanged _until_ you use the pod in the new game to store new stuff again

If you restart a new game in the same version, you can get your stuff each time anew

No multiverse pod file is saved!

If you are running a MAC and the multiverse pod won't save, drag the app on the desktop and play from there.

That fixes the file access issue the game may have on some OSX configurations in a safe way. No need to fiddle around with chmod.

Help, my game crashes when I use the pod!

Your game needs write access into its own .../game/... subfolder

Normally it should have that unless you play it from some read only location

If you're on a MAC: Move the app to the desktop as workaround and run it from there

Wtf does this post need an animation for!?

Played around with the sparks animation in blender I want to use for the repair location visualisation and slapped it on the pod :)
