Yep, that fixed it, thanks very much for such a quick response. Distant Worlds is still one of the best in the genre imho and these mods just keep it there. Thanks to all the modders for keeping it alive

I will look into it today. If you use DWUR then maybe it have something in tech that makes them exclusive, but probably problem in code.


It was a recent re-install of the GOG base DWU game and then your Expansion mod, so no DWUR involved :)

I used to run Bacon mod plus some graphic and GUI ...

Hi Alvek, and other mod makers that may know the issue here :)

I'm running your latest version of the Expansion Mod, 2.2.1.6 and have come across an issue where by after i've built the Military Academy building I can't seem to build the Special Forces units associated with it? In vanilla this was ...

<r> So happy to try out the new terraforming abilities.<br/>
<br/>
My install runs fine but i have a quick question re installation. There is no mention in the readme about where to put the 'BaconSettings' and 'Passenger' text files. I assume they go alongside the .exe in the main directory?<br ...

<t> I gave that idea a go; adding the data changes that the Bacon Mod made to the terraforming facility, but sadly it did nothing.<br/>
<br/>
So i've completed merging my mod build (mostly graphics stuff from Stuff&Bits) with the Bacon Mod and using that version as this seems the only way to get ...

<t> Ok thanks for the pointers. I had a look at the Bacon Mod, but as it makes the change in the .exe it is not a simple thing to isolate and export.<br/>
<br/>
And sadly i was looking for modability along the lines of CivIV or an Elderscrolls game, but there are much harder limits here.<br/>

Do we have any mods that allows you to improve the low planet quality worlds? I've looked but not found any.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway after a few games of DWU i've been thinking about adding something to the 'terraforming' tech to allow this.<br/>
<br/>
I had written up a large ...

<t> Sadly there is a hard limit on the number of pictures that the game can use. You can only change the default number per landscape type (e.g. for 'continental' type the game can use just 4, numbered 'landscape_0' to 'landscape_3' etc), and adding more will not have them appear in game. Each type ...

You can buy this game directly from Matrix/Slitherine, can't you. Has that changed?

Off course not, it is just alongside the ease of use of GOG (no internet connection needed to play ...

<r> I just got to play Distant Worlds Universe for the first time over the xmas period, thanks to it being on GOG! <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
What a game! SMAC, Moo1+2 and Space Empires IV Gold are some of my favourite all time space 4x games and even at this early stage i can say i think DWU beats them ...
