Sabranan -> RE: Mod to significantly reduce the number of ships? (1/5/2017 1:11:39 AM)

Hmm, there's no direct way to edit the number of ships that empires will try to build. It varies over time; larger empires will naturally try to build more ships. Editing policies would let you set the proportions of ship types, but there's no simple controls regarding how many ships will be built. The only real way to influence it is by adjusting the resource requirements for each ship component, increasing them will make it take longer to build ships and make them more expensive to produce and maintain. These figures aren't simple though because the cost of resources changes depending on availability. To actually do that you'd need to create a mod folder and stick a copy of the components.txt file in there, changing the values in it until you get the behaviour you want. Your post provided a motivational spark for me to update my mod tool with some component batch features for just this kind of work.
