Trying this out with a couple of my personal tweaks. Thanks for putting all this work into an old game. I have DW2 but I can't bring myself to play it lol.

<t> I've been using this with bacon recently and an idea emerged. Since having troop transports at 20% would drastically reduce the number of military ships the AI has (by 12%) what if instead I set it to 0%, reduced the component size of troop pods and added an equivalent number to every ship inste...

I did this on mine, lowered everything to 0.25 though. It's lovely to have ships that aren't the size of moons finally isn't it?

<t> I wouldn't mind even a 2022 release to be honest. Feel like companies push their releases too hard and too early. I often wish they would finish the game, and then spend a much greater amount of time testing and working out the bugs than they usually do. Would give the artists more time to make ...

Or do they even fall under one of the ship types at all? I'm asking because I'm about to set Escorts, Frigates and Destroyers to 0%, maybe even Cruisers to get the AI to stop using gimpy fleets when all of my ships use 100% capacity but I don't want them to stop building other ships.

So I can have lude pics of my fiancee pop up everytime I load up Distant Worlds then LOL

Really like these! Thank you!

Welcome back

<t> Is the batch tasks feature in design templates broken? I'm trying to get it to add image scaling, it says it's completed the task but it isn't actually doing anything that I can see.<br/> <br/> Solved: Selecting "Both" when choosing between Standard Empires and Pirates actually only makes the ch...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: RogerBacon<br/> <br/> Right. The BaconSettings values are not read until after Galaxy creation so any galaxy creation variables won't be used unless you go back to the main screen and re-roll your galaxy. You could also load a saved game to intialize the bacon sett...

<t> lowIndependentLifeValue=1 seems to have two possible effects strangely dictated by whether or not it's my first galaxy generation after loading up the game. Roger told me about this setting in another thread and I noticed it initally didn't seem to work, as the galaxy generated all 20 independen...

Hope this is still in progress, been silent for some time now. Looking forward to get this too.

They started alpha testing last month.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: RogerBacon<br/> <br/> Yes. In my Bacon mod I have a setting for users to override the lowest setting for independents, which has a default value of 150. The lowest value you can use is 1. I remember when I set it to zero there it crashed due to a divide by zero err...

For some reason erasing them with the editor is causing my game to crash, took me all night to figure out what was causing it.

<t> Off key as far as ship design goes do we know anything about how race policy is going to be handled? I never got over that I couldn't single out specific races when determining who to enslave/exterminate etc. Had to go by either my racial group, or everyone else. Makes it tough to run an empire ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: LordMM<br/> <br/> Bacon Mod and the RETREAT UE put together seems to increase the difficulty considerably if you are looking for a challenge.. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> I'll give that a try thanks!<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: SirHoraceHarkness<br/> <br/...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: RogerBacon<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>CharacterRandomAppearanceChance<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> According to the code it is capped between 0 and 5.0 so the manual is correct.<br/> <br/> P.S.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: SirHoraceHarkness<br/> <br/> You can always edit the racial stats of the ones you typically play against to give them an extra edge. I upped the population growth rate and colony ship building speed of the boskara race to make them a plague you have to stamp out ea...

<t> I noticed an inconsistency between the modding manual included in the game file and what it actually says you can do in the <race>.txt. In the manual it says you can set it up to 5.0, in the .txt it says 3.0. I did a search but didn't see anything about this particular modifier. I hadn't really ...

Ugh only affects player. That's disappointing. Thanks for the reply.
