I noticed that in the \images\units\characters folder, all the images for the Kiadian race are actually missspelled as "kiadain-" As a quick fix, I modified the txt file for the Kiadian race (in the \characters folder ) with the spelling used by the images, did a quick test and it seems to...

Yes unfortunately that's something I can confirm, you can't order a mining ship to deliver directly to a planet. However a super cheap barebones base over a planet (1 cheap reactor, 1dock, etc) is a valid target and can be built reasonably quickly even by a new colony. Maybe also send a freighter wi...

I'm hoping this is still moniored regularly as I have a problem with mining ships and Alt-Shift-A. It doesn't work. Searching tells me it should be Alt-Shift-M, the A being a typo, but this does not work either. In doth instances I'm using Alt-2 to set detination before using either command. Help a...

<t> You certainly can continue raiding.<br/> However consider that any ongoing combat on a planet where you own a pirate building also has a chance to destroy them. Including your own raids. The longer the fight, the higher the chance.<br/> Once I have set up a base and a fortress, I don't raid that...

<r> When playing as pirates, to build <I><s>[i]</s>anything<e>[/i]</e></I> not normally allowed, you need to use the "queue next mission" menu. This requires the selected constructor to have a mission, and it's trivial to trick the game-logic.<br/> <br/> Pause the game, select your constructor. <br/...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: RogerBacon<br/> Well that sucks. There most be some code that reverts the difficulty that I didn't notice.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: RogerBacon<br/> <br/> So, I'm not actually scaling research with difficulty. That's the main game doing that. I believe what is really happening is that the total cost to research a tech is being changed, not individual research points that are generated. So, if yo...

<t> Sorry to keep pestering you RogerBacon, I've only these last three questions to fully understand explorer research.<br/> <br/> 1) Is the difficulty divisor applied to the researchPerLab value when a "scientific data" point is converted into actual research?<br/> E.g. with researchPerLab=1000 and...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: RogerBacon <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> Is "scientificData" in the same scale as "researchPerLab" ?

<t> Try having at least a couple of state freighters on repeating cargo missions from the closest fuel gas mining stations outside your capital system. Gas clouds work well for me if they're nearby, as they generate only one type of gas each and the ai doesn't seem to pick up much cargo from there.<...

<t> Thanks for the rangecircles option!<br/> And unexpected bonus with custom difficulty parameters!<br/> One little clarification:<br/> "To use these vaules in game you must use the command !setdifficulty after the game starts."<br/> Does this mean only once after creating a brand new game (and the...

<r> 1) Mining missions <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> You were wise to try alt-shift-M. That is indeed the correct key combination. It seems it was a typo that I put alt-shift-A. Still, you said that doesn't work. I'll try it later this week when I have some time. To be clear you need to have a base as your ...

<r> Hello Roger Bacon,<br/> first of all my most sincere thanks for the astoundingly wonderful mod you've created!<br/> I've been playing DW for years now (tried some mods, settled on Icemania's AI improvement mod with personal tweaks), began using your mod only recently... truly a distant world fro...
