Detailed Documentation#

Device Tweaker Mod#

A comprehensive mod for The Network Inc that allows you to customize device properties including bandwidth, warranties, costs, and hardware specifications. This is an extension on the the 2x Bandwidth mod, and the random warranties mod.

Features#

🔧 Multiple Modification Types#

• Bandwidth: Adjust network bandwidth capacity for switches, routers, and other network devices
• Warranties: Set fixed or random warranty multipliers for device reliability
• Cost: Modify device purchase prices (make them cheaper or more expensive)
• Hardware: Scale CPU power, RAM, and storage capacity independently (Not Supported by the games API currently)
• Network Addressing: Automatically assign descriptive network addresses based on floor and device type (Not supported by the games API)

🎯 Device Class Filtering#

Selectively apply modifications to specific device types (all 20 classes from game API):

• Default (0) - def
• Network Switch (1) - swt
• Network Router (2) - rtr
• Network Tap (3) - tap
• Network Firewall (4) - fwr
• Media Line Simplex (5) - mls
• Media Line Duplex (6) - mld
• Compute Server (7) - srv
• Display Monitor (8) - mon
• Debugger (9) - dbg
• Load Tester (10) - ldt
• Power Expansion (11) - pwr
• Decentro Rigs (12) - dcr
• Surge Protector (13) - spr
• UPS (14) - ups
• Inert (15) - ine
• CCTV (16) - ccv
• Phone (17) - phn
• Printer (18) - prt
• Network Load Balancer (19) - nlb

⚙️ Flexible Configuration#

• Enable/disable each modification type independently
• Fine-tune multipliers from 0.1x to 100x
• Choose between fixed or random warranty multipliers
• Configure warranty to affect days, cycles, and remaining periods

Installation#

1. Place this mod folder in your lua/ directory
2. Load the game or reload mods (default: F11)
3. Configure the mod through the Mod Loader menu

Configuration Parameters#

Device Class Filters#

Bandwidth Settings#

Warranty Settings#

Cost Settings#

Hardware Settings (Currently Unsupported by API)#

Network Addressing Settings (Currently Unsupported by API)#

Address Format: @f{floor}/{abbrev}{increment}

• Abbreviations:
  • def (default), swt (switch), rtr (router), tap (tap), fwr (firewall)
  • mls (media line simplex), mld (media line duplex), srv (compute server)
  • mon (monitor), dbg (debugger), ldt (load tester), pwr (power expansion)
  • dcr (decentro rigs), spr (surge protector), ups (ups), ine (inert)
  • ccv (cctv), phn (phone), prt (printer), nlb (load balancer)
• Examples: @f4/srv1, @f2/swt3, @f18/nlb2
• Increments: Per floor and device class combination

Technical Details#

Device Classes Reference#

The mod uses the device_hardware_class property to identify device types based on the DeviceHardwareClass enum:

• 0 = Default (def)
• 1 = Network Switch (swt)
• 2 = Network Router (rtr)
• 3 = Network Tap (tap)
• 4 = Network Firewall (fwr)
• 5 = Media Line Simplex (mls)
• 6 = Media Line Duplex (mld)
• 7 = Compute Server (srv)
• 8 = Display Monitor (mon)
• 9 = Debugger (dbg)
• 10 = Load Tester (ldt)
• 11 = Power Expansion (pwr)
• 12 = Decentro Rigs (dcr)
• 13 = Surge Protector (spr)
• 14 = UPS (ups)
• 15 = Inert (ine)
• 16 = CCTV (ccv)
• 17 = Phone (phn)
• 18 = Printer (prt)
• 19 = Network Load Balancer (nlb)

Modification Timing#

All modifications are applied when devices spawn via the on_device_spawned() callback. This ensures that:

• Changes apply to newly purchased devices
• Modifications persist for the device’s lifetime
• No performance impact on existing devices

Logging#

The mod logs all modifications to the console with details about:

• Device name and class
• Original and modified values
• Multipliers applied

Example log output:

[device-tweaker] Active modifications: Bandwidth x2.00, Warranty x5.50 (random), Cost x0.75, Auto Network Addressing
[device-tweaker] Enabled device classes: server, switch, router
[device-tweaker] SuperSwitch 3000 (switch): BW: 1000 -> 2000 (x2.00) | warranty days: 365 -> 2008 | cost: $5000 -> $3750 | netaddr: @f2/swt1

Network Address Auto-Assignment#

When enabled, devices receive network addresses automatically using this logic:

• Format: @f{floor}/{class_abbrev}{increment}
• Counter: Tracks increments per floor and device class combination
• Reset: Counters reset when mod is reloaded (F11)

Example progression on floor 4:

• First compute server: @f4/srv1
• Second compute server: @f4/srv2
• First network switch: @f4/swt1
• Third compute server: @f4/srv3
• First network load balancer: @f4/nlb1

Compatibility#

• Game Version: Beta
• Dependencies: None required (modloader config system is optional)
• Conflicts: Should be compatible with most other mods

Credits#

This mod combines and extends functionality from:

• 2x-bandwidth-switches - Original bandwidth modification concept
• random-warranties - Random warranty system implementation
