WARNING: This mod is a WIP! There may be bugs, weird behaviour, and crashes, so keep that in mind when downloading this mod. :)

PhotographyPlus

This is a mod that adds an optional daily task to the game, consisting in going out and taking a photograph of a specific structure with a camera to earn additional points.

This task can be done a limited amount of times each week (by default, 3) and you will receive your payout for doing these tasks alongside the normal weekly bonus.

Both the payout per task and how many tasks you can do each week can be edited in the config menu. A couple of commands are available, which you can view by typing in pplus.help at any console.

There is also the option to photograph things such as entities and turn the pictures in for rewards, though the feature is still a WIP and does not work for the more uncommon entities.

The mod should work with ongoing saves without an issue and should be able to be uninstalled without a problem, but I would advise making backups of your save either way :P

The Feedback Form^TM

We have reached the point of development where I consider the mod to be in a pretty solid state, with the main task flow established, some side activities, a handful of events, and even a little bit of lore, all while keeping the mod reasonably bug-free. The next updates will likely be focused on completing the Entity Photography functionality by adding the rest of the entities and adding some polish here and there.

After that... well, that's it, actually. I added everything I wanted to add - that was simple enough to implement - and this was never meant to be a particularly complex mod anyway. This means that the mod is pretty close to being in its final, finished state, with any updates past that being just to keep it compatible with VoidMod and VotV updates.

Before doing that though, I would like to hear what the people who tried out my mod think of it, and any suggestions they might have. Therefore I have set up a little form over at https://forms.gle/NC1XAf3dfvNR9qpH7 to do just that.

In particular I am looking for:

• Bug reports: Always welcome as I'm sure I didn't catch everything. The more detailed the bug description the better, especially if you also detail how to replicate the bug.
• Suggestions (including changes to existing features): Also very welcome, though I am very picky, so I can't promise I'll implement even well-thought out ideas. I can promise I'll give each of them proper consideration, though. <3
• General feedback: If you just want to say what you liked and didn't like about the mod, that's swell too!

Every open ended question is optional to fill out so just write what you want to write!

Planned Additions

• ✔️ More complex task flow (being able to send printed photos via drone)
• ✔️ Adding a camera and some other items somewhere in the map for the player to find to make it easier to get started with the tasks
• ✔️ Some story events related to the photography tasks
  • A few have been fully implemented, more might be added in the future
• ✔️🛠️ The ability to photograph certain entities for some custom responses and rewards
  • Partially implemented, see v0.3.0 changelog for details
• ✔️ Tasks that involve taking landscape shots instead of photographing specific structures

Known Issues

• Not really an issue with the mod itself but still worth mentioning: as the mod gets updated it may go through substantial internal changes that could cause problems if updating from a very old version of the mod to the newest one on an existing savefile. I try to prevent issues from a given update to the following one, but for gaps larger than that things may get buggy.
