Cheers

Had a look through the thread but could't find anything beyond a comment about Explorers and 1.05, and can't find a changelog , only the note
[03.06.2023]
Version 1.05
https://shorturl.at/lmwxH (dead link)
Tutorial bug fixed (BaconMod)

Noticed that now Explorer-science ships research automatically something random on their own. I put a Energy Lab on the Explorer and it started researching a Weapons tech.
With the !science all command, it started researching 1 tech per each branch (intended behavior).
However tech selection is random, can't find the command to set/choose manually what to research (in original Bacon Mod it was possible).

Thanks

No changes for explorer research, should work same as Bacon mod.
Check galaxypedia for Bacon commands, not sure if contains all of them. If there is no info about command you are looking for then tell me and I'll look for it when I will have time.

Thanks for another update to the Expansion Mod!

Question: Are the Bacon Mod hotkeys still operating for fighters and bombers? Do they only work for carriers, or bases too?

CaesarAug wrote: Thu Jan 08, 2026 8:56 pm I'm having trouble getting the fighters/bombers to operate manually. They seem to only attack when the carrier is attacking a target. Fighters/bombers on bases seem to attack only when the base is attacked, along with all other weapons on the attacked base.

According to the Bacon Mod forum, Alt+4 and Alt+5 manage fighter/bomber attack operations manually. But this is not working for me in-game, I must be doing something wrong. Interestingly, in the Options menu for Hotkeys, the same fighter/bomber management reads Menu+D4 and Menu+D5. Not sure what the "Menu" key is.

CaesarAug wrote: Thu Jan 08, 2026 10:30 pm Yes, the launch and return buttons do work. It's the manual attack Alt+4 (fighters) and Alt+5 (bombers) that I can't get to work.

EDIT: I think perhaps I have overlooked the Alt-a hotkey which enables/disables manual/automatic control of fighters and bombers.
Will continue to play-test this.

As for another thought: would it be possible to enable bases to engage an enemy target, that is, without being attacked first? In other words, just like ships?
