Voker57 -> [Mod] VAdjust (former Logistics Rebalance) (1/3/2022 12:05:04 AM)
|
This mod aims to improve various game features, giving players a more rounded-off experience less reliant on RNG, as much as possible with the limited modding API.
Strategems changes
Some strategems are blatantly better or worse than others. Worst offender is Ancient Archive, which is alone worth spending all your Fate Points on for a chance of out-of-depth tech which changes the gameplay. Mod disables it. Another glaring example is Supreme Leader Day, which for 4 FP gives miniscule amounts of PP compared to 50 PP 1 FP card. This card is also disabled.
Victory Pact is disabled because allied victory does not really make sense and makes games drag on or end in shared victory of two big empires.
Thopters
Thopters are strictly better than anything else. They perform exactly same as planes, without being restricted to the airbases, and naturally both planes and helicopters become obsolete when thopters are researched. The mod disables thopters. Non-airbase aircraft is still available with VTOL turbojets (this might change in the future, too).
Postures
Postures can be applied immediately without any penalty, cause players a lot of boring micromanagement, and are apparently sometimes confusingly worded or do not actually do what they say. This mod disables the postures
Logistics
Deep SE lore delvers already know there is a trick called "logistic injecting", meant to work around some common issues with logistic system. Issues being that higher level logistic assets are prohibitively expensive and are not available for smaller towns due to city level limit. Therefore, players have to build multiple cheaper level 1 assets and "inject" logistic points in a single hex. This requires a lot of research, micromanagement and planning ahead for the players.
This mod partially addresses this obscure mechanic by ensuring upgrading your assets is (5%) more efficient than building new ones, and additionally removing the AP bonus from high level assets to make optimal distance calculations a lot easier: 10/15 hexes for dirt/sealed roads, 25 for rails.
Unfortunately logistic assets are limited in level by city level, which might still force you to inject logistics in small towns. Apparently this cannot be currently overridden by mods and I can't think of another way to solve this problem. Would be great if this restriction would be removed. Until then, the mod additionally makes upgrades give you more LP faster, while retaining the same cost/LP balance.
New costs for logistic assets:

HS Rail 5: 50000 LP for 3 x (889 metal, 889 ip, 71 mach, 7 hitech, 3500 workers). Maintenance: 1334 energy, 13300 workers
HS Rail 6: 80000 LP for 3 x (1250 metal, 1250 ip, 100 mach, 10 hitech, 5000 workers). Maintenance: 2000 energy, 20000 workers

The mod was planned by me and commissioned from CATASTEROID who does a great job figuring out how to use the SE modding tools.
Download: [full version update pending]
Logistics only version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aoxpaj7jhdkd739/VLogisticsAdjustv2.zip?dl=0
Installation: drop file into shadowscenarios/ folder inside your SE installation and before a new game tick VLPAdjust2 from "Modlib picker" menu. For multiplayer games, only the host needs to enable the mod when starting a new game.
