Hi MaximKI,
Here’s some convo regarding Chinese localization issue:
https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/vie ... ?p=5083219

Do you think there is a way to put small mining extractors on mining stations ?

I tried that without succes:
- add:
DesignTemplateId: 33 # Large Mining Station
Role: MiningStation
CargoBayCount: 2
CommerceCenterCount: 1
DockingBayCount: 1
MiningComponentCount: 4
EnergyCollectorCount: 1 ...

I did some test with the small exploration ship template:

By removing the line
ScannerShortRangeCount: 1
the auto design will put both kind of exploration sensors if you have them.

But if you put the line
ScannerExplorationCount: 2
and remove the ScannerShortRangeCount, the auto design will put ...

It should work with no problem

In order to make firing arc changes to take effects.

You need to delete \data\ShipHullModelData folder and start a new game to let game regenerate it to include the changes you made in ShipHulls.xml

hope it will make the AI perform better as I already only build my ships manual since the first game I played

Now you don't have to update your design everytime when start a new game.

You did a great job !

But i would suggest 2 things:

1) The colony ship has the worst design because of the energy consumption of the Colony module.
Instead of doubling the output of the Fission Reactor, i would decrease the StaticEnergyUsed of the colonization module from 50 to 30.

2) For ...

Bump for update.

Better Auto Design

Allow Merchant Guild to build Trade Enclave(Station) near friendly faction colony(when treaty has signed), so that other faction can trade with the enclave directly instead of sending their slow ships to buy resources from your colony.

Doing so will let the merchant guild earn much more profit ...

Dear development team,

Is there any chance to get a document for DesignTemplates.xml?

I'm confused with some of the terms like:
<ComponentBayOversizeAllowance>
<AutoFillUnusedComponentBays>
<FuelTankCount>

As those doesn't seems to work as I modified.

Thanks in advance.

Regarding Faster Fighters:

ComponentId: 303 is quantum engine [FTR] not quantum thruster [FTR], which is ComponentId:281

You might also wanna add:
ComponentId: 284 # starburner
ComponentId: 349 # hive


Regarding Vector Engine Rebalance:

You might wanna consider adding:
ComponentId: 292 ...

The reproduct rate is set to 1+0.0x

So the updated value formula should be value/2+0.5

Better Auto Design (For both player & AI)

Fixed all auto design related issues in all tech levels for Civilian Ships as of version 1.0.3.7, if there's any additional fixing needed, please let me know.

For beta 1 ...

You can stack different damage reduction module together (cnc, damage control, medical)

The total damage reduction and repair rate can be seen on the right panel in design menu.

Multiple damage control unit doesn’t stack in terms of damage reduction.

Otherwise the targeting/countermeasure stacking is crazy and not linear with other Tier 3 one per empire facilities.

1. Remote fuel transfer should have priority over docked fuel transfer, currently remote fuel transfer only works on the number that exceeded docking bay allows.

2. Deep Cover should have an easier difficulty and similar to counter-espionage mission as an on-going mission, and the agent will facing ...

The DW1 Manual had some values on that. I would asume something similar applies in DW2.


Thanks, and may I know what's the value for DW1?

If I knew it, I would not guess the values.

I will start with quoting the game manual:

I don't want to hijack the thread--but I think my question/issue is very related.

Not sure if this is a bug, a misunderstanding, or just the quirky behavior I need to learn:
I had a fleet set to manual, with a home base set as the mining station, which they are at. I left it with standing orders ...
