hi! thanks for the great mod!

I have a problem/question
I was playing my game and managed to subjugate an AI faction but after that my income increased skyhigh, I started getting milions of credits and my cashflow is 2.5 milions which makes the game pretty much over. this is a very early game and I have so much money I can do anything. I guess this happened because of the forementioned bonuses AI factions get? I don't have this command "allowInfrastructureImprovements" in the BaconSettings.txt. is there a way to change this in my current game without the need to start a new one? I am using Bacon mod and Retreat1970's mod

Incidentally Roger allowInfrastructureImprovements definitely needs capping. The Ancient Guardians have buckets of cash and only one planet, so they just go into insane values after a while and end up having so many ships the game can't handle it.

You should have the entries in your baconsettings.txt. Perhaps you were using Bacon mod from before those features were added and you didn't update your BaconSettings.txt file?

You should have this entry in your file:

// This allows spending on infrastructure projects to boost a planet's development level. Durability is how fast the investment decays. 1.0 = no decay, 01 = very fast decay. range 0.1 = 1. Recommended value is 0.9 Smaller populations receive a bigger effect and decay rate is lower.
allowInfrastructureImprovements=true
infrastructureSpendingPerDevelopmentLevel=25000
infrastuctureDurability=0.9

Also, you mentioned subjugation. In the BaconSettings.txt file there is an option to change the percentage tribute you receive for subjugation. The game defaults to 10%. My default in the BaconSettings is 50%.


// This is the percentage of income a subjugated empire must pay to its master 0.1 (i.e. 10%) is default.
SubjugationTributePercentage=0.5

Try adding the above entries and set tribute back to 10% and disable infrastructure improvements.

Thank you so much for the answer. do you think the problem could be if i put 0.25 for subjugation tribute in baconsettings and that value is not used correctly in the game?

Thanks for the feedback. In vanilla version (with AI improvement mod, to be precise) they refueled independently, even when they had build orders. Anyway, no big issue, I'll keep an eye on fuel.

Two questions:
- any chance that order queues can be edited with your mod?
- If I do not want to differentiate between fighter/bomber bays (use case: one bay for a small base), how do I get the mixed loadout back? In my current config (without BaconWorld) only fighters i.e. interceptors are built.

Hi RogerBacon,

I love your work and I am interested in modding DW as well. I have two questions I did not find any information about so far.
- How did you manage to write and compile your mod? (API, decompilation, exclusive access,...) All other mods but yours only use the modding interface described in the modding guide and do not provide an exe.
- Is the source code of you mod available anywhere? (github,...)

Regards

Hello,

Did this mod add "show travel vectors for state ships" while fully zoomed in on system view? The issue I am having is while zoomed in with travel vectors enabled my fps goes from 60fps to less than 5, disabling goes back to 60. On the default exe it doesn't show vectors unless zoomed out of system and has no fps drop. Any advice or am I missing something? Thank you.

Hi couchfun,

I'm afraid I can speak on this matter, especially if we want to see modding like this for DW2 when it comes out.

Hey Bacon, thanks for the mod! I noticed that none of my ships actually reduce their speed when they run out of fuel. This issue goes away when I set my system locale to US English, probably so that the '.' character is interpreted as decimal separator instead of number group separator. Specifying the culture of the text file when parsing numbers from those files should fix that.

I don't see the link or file to download this file in the first post. Am I being daft?

Soooo, the Boskara Hive, one of the top five empires in my game, just offered me their homeworld for enacting some random trade sanctions. Is this expected behavior or something that might be the result of the numbers being read wrong from BaconSettings when I first started the game?

Another thing I don't understand is !infrastructure. At all. Am I supposed to do anything with it? Is the AI doing something with it? Is it automated for me? I had only 1% of galaxy GDP while being one of the larger empires around. Is this related?

Apart from that, I'm going to quit this run again. As much as I like the early game, I really dislike how I have to babysit everything wrt refueling when the empire gets stretched out a bit. Most of my refueling points along major routes are unused since it seems all ships just fuel up before and after missions, but never during. That seems to be an issue I've always run into when playing the game and made me quit.

Version 1.74 released.
Added tags so users can define what a fighter bay caries by name.
In the settings file you have

fighterBayLabel=fighter
bomberBayLabel=bomber
mixedBayLabel=assault

When a ship builds fighters it will build 4 fighters if the component name contains the fighter label, 4 bombers if the name contains the bomber label and 2 of each if the name contains the mixed label.
Hopefully this will make it easier for people to play with the vanilla fighter/bomber mix. For users that are happy with the split bays you don't have to change anything. Note that the game checks the labels in order so you can't have your mixed bay called "FighterBomber bay" because the game would math it to "Fighter" unless you changed the fighter label to something else.

Also, some minor fixes.

Also, one new command from the Bacon input window that I will reveal shortly.

In my current game, I’m using gravity wells for the first time. It is a different experience.

I had the bug where a system is not visible even though an explorer is there.

Hi. When you say 'Homeworld" I assume the planet named after the race but not necessarily their capital, right?

Infrastructure was my attempt to find something for the player to do with excess money. Some games I'd have 3 or 4 or 10 million sitting around and nothing to burn it on. It's good to raise happiness after conquering a planet. The default setting in the settings file may make it too good. Perhaps lowering the durability a bit will make it more balanced.
