colonizing planets using new mechanics

Colony ships can now colonize a planet if the colonists on board would be comfortable there, even if the owning faction's race would not. borrowing this quote from developer's updates playing Tinkers I met Phidi, got their welcome package of 1 free phidi population... quickly setup production of co...

Re: Overcharge is a little confusing to me.

I am still trying to figure out if I like it this way or should I mod it to someth...

shield damage absorbtion

I think I got it, it was actually fairly simple, I still need to test it more, to make sure there are no hidden issues

add following for any shield in SYSTEMS.lua (XX is amount of damage per weapon fired at it, shield should absorb)

Code: Select all

shield_absorbtion=XX,


and you need this file

Re: Orthin and torpedoes

Do not recommend going down the path of modifying hardpoint type or mountable weapons: ignoring the progaramming implications it would open up a whole can of issues with visual representation (where heavy and medium mounted weapons are visible) plus how the AI would handle such sitations (not the b...
