Hi,

1. I'm playing with regular empire. (Pirates are off)
2. Nope
3. There is a definitive chance to be spying on an elimanated empire. (A lot of empire annihilated)
4. I started a new game, but nothing happened hitting CTLR-P. (neither CTD or Prisoner form)

Thanks!

I too can positively confirm that RetreatUE DOES work with baconmod if you properly modify all the files.

I myself am running a modified version of retreatUE with a bunch of other mods slapped together with BaconMod. The only issue I have is whenever a spy is caught or escapes it goes out of index bounds every once in a while but I am 99.9% certain this is a bacon issue and has nothing to do with retreatUE or the other mods that I compiled. I am running windows 7 however

I'm on a Windows 10 machine so I've no idea what the non-starting issue is being caused by

Non starting can be any file or even a tiny jot or jittle that has been messed up. I've had the entire game not start because the game had problems loading a specific component.png image... All I did was change the image of a component from 120 to number 185...and it COMPLETELY stopped working all together...dead in the water so to speak. Did not start up AT ALL! Like it never loaded...

To know if Bacon is running functionally with your mods all you need to do is install the bacon.exe and main files and load up your original mod (WITHOUT any changes from the baconworld customization folder) to see if it properly loads. If it loads without a hitch then you know it is not bacon that is messing things up. You won't have any added features such as terraforming, the hangar bays or extra mining capacity but it will give you a clue on whether you messed up the files yourself or whether it is a windows issue.

I recommend using notepad++ and the compare plugin to compare the ''original'' DW files to the BaconWorld files to see what has changed and then copying those changes to your own mod files. That's what I did.

What sort of crashes are you getting? Merging mods is pretty easy. You only need to add the components, facilities, and research projects that I've added which are not in the other mod. Those would be the fighter bayx, the terraforming facility, and the research that enables the fighter bays.

You're forgetting your improved mining capacity changes...you also need to edit the mining rates in the research components to change their capacity. Just a small note

I recommend you add an extra readme that lists all the changes that need to be made if you want to integrate it into another mod. It is easy to forget these things and it is doubly more annoying for a person who is completely unfamiliar with your mod and what changes need to be made to make it function.

Version 1.66 Released

- Tradable items list is now alphabetized.
- Ctrl-F makes the game re-check what system the selected ship is in. This should fix the issue where exploration ships are not exploring for some people because the game does not "see" them as being in a system.
- Better logic for manual cargo missions resupplying construction ships. So you shouldn't have to worry about a rarely used strategic resource getting overfilled after repeated construction missions.

Since I don't have much free time anymore this will probably be the final version of the mod. It started as a small customization for myself and its grown into something larger than I ever thought. I'm glad I 2was able to bring it to the community for others to enjoy.

I have been playing along with few problems until late game (700 stars) and suddenly I began getting an error pop-up:

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

This happens constantly so as to make the game unplayable. Any ideas? Is it mod related or a DW problem?

Thanks for your hard work !

I was wondering : would it be possible, as an option, to make an empire with the ability to raid ?

Thanks again

unfortunatly it seems to be happening with older versions too.

i noticed a few pages back some other people were having the problem on windows 10, im using 10 as well. dosent look like they were able to fix it?

So happy to try out the new terraforming abilities.

My install runs fine but i have a quick question re installation. There is no mention in the readme about where to put the 'BaconSettings' and 'Passenger' text files. I assume they go alongside the .exe in the main directory?

Just thought i'd bring that to your attention Roger, and thanks for a great looking mod :)

What needs to be done to use this with the AI Improvement Mod?

ORIGINAL: Ateerix

I think I found a bug or something. When I play the empire and build the freighters, gas, and mining ships they never seem to register on my list of ships. When I get suggested ships to build, it continuously advises me to build more gas and mining ships and only says I have 2. After a while the number starts to increase, but it's never accurate and only accounts for maybe 5% of the total amount of ships I have.

Hi,

absolutey brilliant work with the mod, Roger!

The gravity well idea seems really good, but the effect seems to be painfully heavy especially for the big constructors and colony ships. I hate to watch them slumber along so slow :) Would it be possible to add a multiplier for the gravity well effect to the settings file?

Hi Roger I see you are done with this mod but just have a question. Is it possible to mod how players start out on maps? I've noticed using the map editor that every start there is another race the same distance for me. It looks like the game is set that way. But I would prefer more random distances and was wondering if this was possible with the way you have figured out how to mod?
