Crew Fix

[Tusc31979]

I did use the search already, but found a number of dead-end threads.

How can I make my crew fatigue disappear?

And/or (not for campaigns) can I make them impossible or very hard to kill?

I had gone through last year when I got the game and increased their recharge rates from rest/sleep and reduced fatigue in each compartment, etc. But those files are gone now.

Has anyone come out with a Fatigue Mod I can use to eliminate it, or pre-made files so I don't have to spend a week relearning what to adjust? Major kudos for this one!

My reasons for this are that I find that portion of the sim a tedious aspect. I generally don't get much time to play and don't like worrying over it. Don't worry, I DO go in for a lot of the realism mods. This is just one thing I don't like to futz with.

go to data/cfg and open the "basic.cfg" file, and look about 25% of the way down from the top of this file you will see the "fatigue coef" catagory shown below:

example of the original crew fatigue stock v1.4 settings:

change each line to read 0.000 or just copy and paste the example below and your crew will never get tired again.

this fatigue fix was shown to me by "MushMartin" and it works the same for SH3 or SH4, so he gets credit for my knowing about this tweak

How are you getting crewman killed? I've been playing since release and I have yet to actually have a crewman killed. I'd actually like to make them more vulnerable. As it stands now (TM 1.7.6+RSRD+NSM) when I take a shell hit or some ashcans, I may see four or five guys lose 3 % of their health.

As for fatigue, don't keep your boys on battlestations for more than half a day and you should never have an issue.

When I first played, I used to have guys get killed. Playing again last night though, it's just as you said... despite two SOLID hits from a Fubuki, I had some damage to repair but the crew had only lost 1 to 3% health.

Thanks for the coeff ref, too. I thought I remembered modding the compartment files themselves when I had done it... like, for each specific ship and compartment. I know I also tweaked the file mentioned. It was almost a year ago, but maybe I wasn't trying to make them zero fatigue then. It's possible I was trying to increase their recovery rate so fatigue was less an issue, but still original release settings.

just take what i showed you and you can tweak the fatigue settings to your liking. just raise the numbers untill you see the crew get tired at the rate you desire.

as you can see, you can set it for different levels of fatigue depending on normal (regular), bad weather conditions (bad weather), or (specific factor) which i think is battle stations, and set the fatigue levels the same or different for each compartments (;comp)
