Increase Construction Size question

Post by AlphaSailor »

I'm having an issue modding in an additional ship size tech.

This line works

PROJECT ;112, Colossal Construction, 8, 29, 1, 3, 0, 0.0,
ABILITIES ;Increased Maximum Construction Size, 2, 8, 2000, 0
PARENTS ;111, N

This line does not

PROJECT ;400, Ultimate Construction, 9, 29, 1, 3, 0, 0.0,
ABILITIES ;Increased Maximum Construction Size, 2, 8, 3000, 0
PARENTS ;112, N

400 is a unique id and the tech does show up in the tech tree and can be researched but it does not change the max construction size. At first I thought that 3000 was just too large for the game but if I change the 112 Colossal Construction to 3000 it works just fine. I've looked around and can find no reason why this is happening.


EDIT: Figured it out, needed to change the 8 to a 9.

PROJECT ;400, Ultimate Construction, 9, 29, 1, 3, 0, 0.0,
ABILITIES ;Increased Maximum Construction Size, 2, 9, 3000, 0
PARENTS ;112, N
