Updated version of the set with small tweaks to engines, sizes and a few extra spares.

<t> Overwriting the files works fine for mods that only add/change assets (shipsets, images, icons, ...) but it will in most cases break mods, that actually change stuff in the game.<br/>
<br/>
This mod modifies components.txt; So, if any other of your mods uses the same file (and i believe EU ...

<t> Well, yes, the original question was about a system with no fuel source. But since the answer to that was basically "tough luck", i'll have to settle for the second best, and try making depots nearby.<br/>
<br/>
And no, the issue is not protecting the mine. <br/>
It's usually about backwater ...

Honestly, I think that only the component's family (reactor type A, reactor type B etc.) could find a place inside the icon.

I think we mean the same thing; I wasn't talking about differentiating the ...

Thank you!
This is the useful reply, i was hoping for!

<t> I like the idea, the stock icons are really offensively bad, and the resolution is too low for actual "realistic" icons. <br/>
Pictograms are a great solution.<br/>
But it's bit of a bummer, that all components of one type look the same (all reactors, all engines,...).<br/>
<br/>
Maybe you ...

Interesting. Have you checked what the current prices of the resources were in both games?

<t> You are correct about Panels. But i don't like them on military ships.<br/>
The only military ships, that aren't moving, are reserve fleets - these i just park, where fuel is abundant.<br/>
Automated warships in particular always move. Even on defensive posture they end up shuffling around ...

<t> So the situation is like this:<br/>
<br/>
I have a system with the super Luxury thingy, that i am protecting with a automated fleet on defense posture. <br/>
And it works fine, until the fleet needs fuel. <br/>
The system has no fuel source of it's own, so the fleet goes gallivanting across ...

<t> It's not that simple tho.<br/>
<br/>
I mean... this is, at large, how i understand the system as well, but there must be additional factors involved.<br/>
<br/>
Just for example, i just went into one of may saves and checked the cost and resources of a random ship. Here's what it comes out ...

Redusing fuel cell size would kill the range of Hydrogen engines tho.
The point isn't to make all fuels mineral, but rather to make 2 actually different fuels, instead of the vanilla system where they are just clones with different names.

<t> Yeah i considered more efficient reactors, but that would also make they range very high, since i would basically put higher density fuel into the same (size) fuel cells.<br/>
<br/>
I think i will just move Caslon from regular to frozen Gas giants and call it done; (So it's not as common, to ...

<t> I seen the tool. Didnt't need it for the small changes i did to my game - not planning on making a big modpack or anything, just tweaked a couple of things to my liking. And the files aren't THAT hard to read.<br/>
<br/>
The tool helps with editing, but it won't answer the question of how the ...

<r> No space game is complete, until you roll over some xenos with a fleet of Star Destroyers.<br/>
<br/>
Luckily, i happened to have a set of Imperial ships lying around. Rendered them a good while 3D Modeling for back for Space Empires 4. <br/>
<br/>
I converted the set for my own use in DW ...

<t> Does someone have any experience with changing the resource(s) used as fuel - does i mess with the AI?<br/>
<br/>
Will bad things (aka starving) happen to the AI, if i make the fuel mineral instead of gas (it would have to go mine planets instead of gas-mining giants, to get it's fuel.) <br ...
