Multiverse Pod FAQ

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/SpaceJourneyX
  If 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 :)
