Questions to the devs about game data
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2025 1:11 pm
Hi, I have a few small questions, if anyone from the dev team is able to answer them:
1. Is ShipHulls_PlanetDestroyer.xml not used anymore by the game? Is the ShipHulls_PlanetDestroyers.xml taking its place instead?
2. In the various ShipHulls XMLs: Is Maximum Turn Roll Angle variable for hulls measured in radians like Weapon Bay HalfArcs? Or is it a different kind of unit?
3. In CreatureTypes XMLs: Is TurnRate also measured in radians, or in some other unit?
4. In CreatureTypes_Shakturi.XML: StartPlagueAtColonyLocationChance = 12. Does that mean 12% or 1200%? Or something else?
5. In CreatureTypes_Shakturi.XML: InfluenceAmounts= 1. There are also research projects that increase Rift Strider Influence up to 1. Does that mean overall Influence Amount can be as high as 2? So Counter-Influence techs are only temporarily useful?
6. In Governments.XML: What does CanColonize = No mean for Monarchy Governments? Can they not colonize planets?
7. TroopDefinitions.XML - What is IsRobotic variable? Why is it FALSE for Robotic troops (e.g. Battle Robot Brigade)
Thank you
EDIT:
8. In ColonyEventDefinitions.xml for Plague type events: If SpreadToOtherColoniesChance = 1, does that mean 1% or 100%? Or something else?
