Here is some research on aircraft design I've been doing to help me make better design decisions. The importance of each input variable on the charts was derived from the game's internal logic and seem obvious in hindsight. The values in the data tables originated from the debug mode tables.

What is your tech level? Early Orbitals and Fusion Atomics requires level 6 and Advanced Photonics needs level 7. It's in the DISCOVERY IF LOGIC column of table 126 to see this. Deleting that requirement works for me.

Get the zone's culture name. Then in Table 239 use Group ID column to change that culture's group. For Farmers it is 102, in subculture ID column change to 6 for Guardians. More culture group values can be looked up in Tables 243/248. Subcultures can be looked up in Tables 490/491.

There should be a debug tab on top of the game screen next to TYPE and BLUE you can click on then you go down to the list of tables next to libraries and highlight table 86. Then in the rows of data, look for a row with AssetType ID of 201 and Type of 5. In that row in the Qty column click the ...

Not a chance lol. I knew these pictures were trying to convey information but it isn't documented in the manual and it wasn't obvious enough to me.

I would recommend playing with midcore logistics or easy logistics instead of editing values. But you can do what you are asking by enabling debug mode and then going to Table 86 and editing the Qty column of the row with ID 201 and Type 5 for Truck Station (2012 for level 2, 2013 for level 3, etc..)

Mod to show city levels and rural asset levels at a glance on the map.
Cities are shown with number first. Public Rural Assets are shown with letter first.
# = City or Public Rural Asset level
I = Industry
D = Dome farm
F = Farm/Homestead
L = Supply Base (L2 = Supply Base 1, L3 = Supply Base 2 or 3 ...

The graphic shown on the map to indicate Supply Base I is the one for Supply Base II. And the graphic for Supply Base II is the one for Supply Base III. It happens in normal and zoomed in levels. Graphic showing for Supply Base III is correct.

According to the manual at section 5.14.2.1 at level 50 Regime Recon the affect is supposed to be "Statistics Tab active. You know their total force strength and losses and kills (Statistics)". But no matter how high I get regime recon up I see no stats but mine. It appears to be broken since Jan ...

Navigating the Regimes list on the Strat. Map tab with arrow keys does not update the bottom info bar. For example, I click on Regime A in the list and on the bottom of the screen I can see all their info in the bottom Regime tab. I click on Regime B on Strat. Map, I get Regime B's info. However, if ...

I have version 1.26.16 on menu screen (1.26 j3 on title screen) installed is that old? It's whatever steam downloads by default. The manual says for version 1.25 and it's the one that steam shipped with it.

According to manual (5.14.2.1) at 50 Regime Recon Points the "Statistics Tab active. You know their total force strength and losses and kills (Statistics)". But there are several regimes on which I have 50+ recon on and still can only see information for my regime in stats tab. Here is an example of ...

Expand your zone until you find some and make sure your governor has good prospecting skill. It takes time for them to perform the winning prospecting rolls that cause them to find mines. Could also call the Secretary to give Economic Director more funding then call the Economic Director and put ...

I think I have figured out the Tech Formula1 for this. The tooltip is a list of math instructions using placeholder names instead of the actual values for some reason. If GAMEKEY.65 is replaced with the "Solar Mod" key, 128, and TECH.67 is replaced with my solar efficiency research level, 21, the ...

I know that in general it will do the obvious but what specifically are my 21 points in solar energy efficiency tech level doing? I've looked in the governor's skill roll log and the asset log and cant figure it out. Is it hidden in the oddly named "Tech Formula1" in the asset log? I hover over it ...

In the unit tab with HQ Power button selected what do the abbreviations under "Organisational Info" mean? And what is this section telling me?

I don't know if these are bugs or it belongs in UI Improvements Suggestions. They seemed like bugs to me.

With scrap mode checked in the stratagems tab no tooltip is provided.
With small stratagems checked and hovering over a card it shows INVALID TARGET or IMPOSSIBLE every time in the window to ...

In section 5.3.20.3 it mentions "Some Assets like Bunkers and Logistical Assets need only half those
Logistical Points. Farmsteads only need a third."

This doesn't seem to be related to the section and looks like it should be at the end of section 5.3.18

Right now it is very hard to figure out what a stratagem card actually does. The ones earned by regime feats only provide a tooltip with a vague description of what they do on the MNG->PROF tab when you hover over them. Why shouldn't this tooltip show the same amount of information that you get on ...
