Thanks for the help rjord, I do use the anime character picture selection and that has some portraits missing, so this may be related. I will call on you again, if the problem returns once I repaired that (which I was going to do doing anyway). Strange that a missing portrait might mess up the minimap - but that's computers for you.

In vanilla DWU the increase in tech only reduces the number of mining engines you need to reach the cap but the max amount of material mined never increased. I think its in the readme somewhere.

I've read the readme. I would still like to know the cap so that I don't design something silly and inefficient. If you don't know the cap, is there an easy way to find it in game or game folders as to what it is? I would like to play with the mod, but I'm just waiting to figure this out.

RogerBacon -> RE: Bacon Mod + RetreatUE + Das Chrome (11/1/2019 2:39:44 AM)
From teh readme Improved mining cap with tech increase – Value 2 (which is zero in vanilla DW) is now used to override the mining rate cap. In unmodded DW the mining rate cap is 10 for mining and luxury mining and 40 for gas mining. You can now change that with tech advanced. See the entries in research.txt for suggested values. If you leave it as zeros then the default values will be used (10, 10, 40). So to figure out the max number of mining engines you would need take teh production value for a mining module *based on your tech) and divide the max cap by that number. From memory I think the starting tech mining module has a value of 4 so in vanilla DWU 10/4 = 3.

I might be being dumb and probably I'm missing something obvious, but that excerpt from the readme doesn't actually state the actual new mining cap. That is really all I want. I know how to reach it vanilla, its trivial to divide the cap by the extraction rate to figure out how many mining engines I need, that literally wasn't my question. I'm just looking to know the current cap. quote:* Value 2 (which is zero in vanilla DW) is now used to override the mining rate cap This bit isn't useful at all.

I'm just looking for three numbers for the three extraction caps. AActually that is the value you are looking for. Consulting the research.txt file for the combined mod (assuming I didn't change it in my personal version), I see values of 16, 20, 24 for Fast mining, Optimized Mining, and High Power Extractors. For the gas extractors its 80, 100, 120, 150 for Enhanced, Improved, Advanced, and Optimized. You should check your own research.txt file though to make sure those are your values.

No. You have it backward. Those numbers ARE the caps. In vanilla DWU they NERER CHANGE no matter how high your tech goes. The only thing that happens is you need fewer mining engines to reach that cap as teh efficiency of each enging goes up (very slightly). So, for example with a cap of 10 for mining you start off needing 4 engines since they each produce 3 units of mining. Later when you tech goes up and the efficiency is 4 you only need 3 engines (4 dx 3). Quite uninspiring. I made it so that the actual cap increased. Those numbers you saw are the new caps. Below are the production rates for the various extractors. The rate is 3 for mining and luxury and 30 for gas. (I beleive DAS modified it sicne it is 20 in vanilla DWU). 59, Mining - Mineral Extractor, 59, 0, , 18, 14, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 10, 5, 11, 5, 60, Mining - Gas Extractor, 60, 0, , 16, 16, 2, 30, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 10, 4, 16, 3, 61, Mining - Luxury Extractor, 61, 0, , 17, 22, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 10, 3, 11, 3, Since cap now increases as efficiency increases you should just keep 3 extractors on each mine.

I feel incredibly dumb. Thanks a lot for your patience and replies. Seriously, thank you.

bluestrike15 -> RE: Bacon Mod + RetreatUE + Das Chrome (12/31/2019 6:47:37 AM)
Would it be possible to make a version of this mod set without the separate hangers? Since the designer can't see the difference between them, the AI use only fighters which can be a serious determent for fighter/bomber focused races in the AI department. Its not too much of an issue for player led factions but it could also fix the issue of having to manually edit each bay using design when an upgrade is available

RogerBacon -> RE: Bacon Mod + RetreatUE + Das Chrome (12/31/2019 11:21:12 PM)
The AI uses a 50/50 split of fighters and bombers in the Bacon Mod. Since the AI can't tell the difference between hanger types, after ship design is finished, if its an AI ship, I override the hanger selection to make it 50/50.

bluestrike15 -> RE: Bacon Mod + RetreatUE + Das Chrome (1/1/2020 7:22:34 AM)
Never mind then! sorry I usually play slow burn games so its not often I actually see other factions ships let alone fighters, Issue is resolved!

corvette5 -> RE: Bacon Mod + RetreatUE + Das Chrome (1/9/2020 2:47:10 PM)
Shakturi not appearing .. any way to make them appear? the first couple of games they appeared way too early when i was only a few techs in so i quit this third time its 2200+ (custom game as a standard empire) and no shakturi, and I've maxed out my main weapons etc there were a couple of "Beacon of.." ruins that I left alone (no idea where they are now) cause I heard that might spawn the Refugees faster but now I'm not sure what to do, some other empire must have explored them by now... not sure if its a problem with the base game or this mod thanks

chyra97 -> RE: Bacon Mod + RetreatUE + Das Chrome (3/8/2020 11:44:25 AM)
These mods are awesome! The game feels much better with them. But an error occur after "killing" a faction and i have no idea how to solve this problem. Neither using an earlier savegame nor a reinstall of the mods helped. Do somebody know a soluton for this error? (Please excuse my "Google translator" english)

Hello, Trying to understand research numbers, please, I know it is a lot written about this. I can't get the numbers, can you help me? I am using this mod conbination , obviously. Because I dont know how to post a picture, I include here the numbers Total Empire research potential: 490 Only a spaceport with 14 research facilities of each type , each area has then 140K capacity. Playing as Hakkonish with Mercantile Guild political Goverment, so any bonus here at all. I have Genius that provides me 20% to all research output. This Scientist also provides 20% to Energy research. With these figures the current research output is 140K, 168K, 140K. Any help would be appreciated. Arturo

Arturo Genius applies to your empire research potential, so without the genius your research potential would be 408k. The energy research bonus applies to research points generated, so 140k x 1.2. You are far below your research potential. You need to build enough labs to that the totals before modifiers add up to a bit more than 490. In your situation I would aim for 170k in each of the categories, but that needs to be just from labs. Then your energy research gets multiplied by 1.2.

For anybody having issues with the game not loading up check your .Net. I had to repair mine before it would boot up. Win 10 64 bit can be a bugger for this sort of issue. Brilliant combined mod BTW. Enjoying playing this.

Hi, Getting exception order when clicking Build Order menu as well as the button left to that. What to do? Edit: Nevermind. Updated .NET and used Das's settings and removing Bacon from Customization fixed it.

moonraker65 -> RE: Bacon Mod + RetreatUE + Das Chrome (4/24/2020 8:00:47 AM)
All the Bacon Mod files go in to the route directory of the game. You need to follow the instructions fairly exact for it to work properly. DasTactic has a great video that you can follow

Clux -> RE: Bacon Mod + RetreatUE + Das Chrome (5/10/2020 6:15:05 PM)
Hi, I followed the instructions and I was able to play fine for 2 days, but today, when I tried to play, I got this error message (attachment). I have tried already to re-install the mod or use an old save but I always get the same error message, and I find it very frustrating since it was working fine and from one day to another it stopped working :(

Hey … not sure where the music files came from … but they were all from Space Empires V? Really felt weird hearing that … just not the experience I was expecting :D. Holy crap so many changes to components … running as a Pirate starting off with a measly 3500 speed advanced warp bubble engine just does not cut it :O. I'll have to reload it and continue changing my default new game ship designs and try but … man I can see why Das was playing at 4x speed on his play through! Thanks for all the work folks to get this Mod O'mod modded … I'm swirling with so many switching around stuff. I kinda liked the icons from Retreat's amalgamation ... not sure which mod they are from.

Hi gang, I just updated the version to 1.79 to match the Bacon mod 1.79. Not much has changed other than the help files now list the new commands. :) Sorry, but I can't really help with the stability issues. I get them also from time to time but I have no real idea as to how to fix these. Cheers Das
