no, didn't reinstall, I had only 2 crashes so far, so I didn't bother much.
these few things are ignorable.

<t> yes, that's for the mod part.<br/>
<br/>
for other things I observed (which occur very rare btw.) are likely related to game instead of the mod.<br/>
like troop transfer to random distances, unhandled exceptions, game crash due to "index out of range", and similar.<br/>
<br/>
one ...

yes, only the AI improvement mod.

but the mod seems to work just fine.
except when changing theme the game will crash.

<t> thanks a lot, very informative.<br/>
<br/>
as I discover the game there are indeed several bugs and unhandled exceptions incur from time to time.<br/>
<br/>
from a game that is 5 years old I was expecting stable game, but that's not so, and built in help system/manual covers only some 40% of ...

<t> I have fleet troop loadout set to:<br/>
Infantry 20%<br/>
Tanks 45%<br/>
Special Forces 35%<br/>
<br/>
a fleet consist of 4 troop transports (4x600 space) and this loadout according to fleets screen, should load:<br/>
4 infantry<br/>
6 tanks<br/>
4 special forces<br/>

a planet ...

ahh damaged components
didn't think about that, this is then good reason to put 1 extra generator or collector heh, if we don't have repair component researched yet.

thank you guys for explaining!

I believe the program assigns reactors to AI designs automatically, and 200 more than needed seems excessive, as I seem to remember reactor output being quite a bit less than that.

ok thank you, I feel more confident ...

And a spaceport not requiring more than 400 energy at max use sounds very puny to me.<br/>
<br/>
Add to this, that a reactor spare may not be all that silly if in a hard fight. Components get damaged if the shield ...

<t> I did read energy guide here on forums, and I understand how it works and even started to design my own ships heh, but why do space ports need so much excess energy?<br/>
<br/>
the AI spaceport designs goes over 400 excess energy while it's weapon and shield requirements are only some 200 ...

ok thanks friend, i really enjoy the learning curve of DW [8D]

<t> I've read Osito's armor guide (not allowed to post a link) but was not able to find out if reactive rating stack or only rating from 1st armor counts?<br/>
<br/>
at least that's what design screen says, it stack armor rating but reactive rating is constant no matter how much armor I put there ...

thank you for helping, I see now how this works

<t> Ok, I see, we need to maintain only 1 single design per ship class. but this doesn't seem to work either.<br/>
<br/>
I just ran a quick test game, and, if I do not manually edit designs at all the auto upgrade works just fine, but if I make only 1 custom design the AI won't upgrade anything ...

<t> If we make a new custom ship design ex: frigate class, then this design becomes enlisted into<br/>
"latest buildable designs" and is used for auto construction, and the other frigate design (auto generated by the AI) is still there meaning we now have 2 frigate designs.<br/>
<br/>
Now when we ...

I dunno, it depends on the time I guess.The 90's were ruled by moo and moo2 (for me). 00's were se4 and 5 (again for me). Now it's DWU.

Wow thanks, this mod looks very promising, even though I usually don't have the habit of using mods, I will definitely try this one out.

<t> I can't resist from posting this, and just want to tell developers and game designers that they did such a great work with this game, please know if you ever release Distant worlds 2, and if the price will be more than 100$ then I will be the first to buy this game, because it is worth it every ...

Thank you guys for help. [&o]

Planet invaded with 3,6K vs 1,4K troops.
rebels failed to regain colony back, and in the meantime happiness dropped to -2 which is just fine for now hehe.

<t> I have a big juicy planet target of 17B population, but as soon as I conquer the planet population rebels and captures the planet back to defender.<br/>
I repeat the process so many times I don't have the will to continue playing the game.<br/>
<br/>
the manual says you should leave planet ...
