Gort posted:Loving the game so far. Slow expansion through outpost spam feels much better than what we had before. It feels more like you're investing in your empire all the way trough mid game too. I like it. It feels a bit slow compared to previous version but that's just a matter of getting used to it. I really like that I'm constantly doing stuff now.

OwlFancier posted:I strongly recommend you check the modifiers on all weapons and especially the designs of the NPC stuff now, which you can look at since the patch, the NPC weapons have particularly extreme modifiers which makes them also quite valuable to acquire, I suspect. Thats it, there's too much cool new stuff in this update. :3

OwlFancier posted:Gulli's planet modifiers in a recent version added some new ones, namely that if you build a habitat round the planet they're on, it adds a bonus to the habitat. It's cool because it means that some worlds make really good hab locations, I got a planet with 2 habitat bonuses on it so when I built it I got a habitat with +20 flat physics and +10 flat energy. Really nice bonus! Not gamebreaking cos it's only a couple of labs/solar panels worth but it's free. I think it's honestly pretty fair really given that habs now cost 10000 minerals and there aren't many double bonus planets out there which are also in good systems for your habitats, really makes you want to search for them. I'm keeping an eye on comments like this It's hard to get balance right. Overall with my mod resources are a bit more abundant throughout the galaxy. My last update doubled or trippled the habitability malus from negative modifiers, so some planets end up being a bit harder to colonise. This to somewhat compensate for the resources in the galaxy. That said, I am keeping an eye on the resources though. For habitats I think it's fine as you need to spend time looking for a nice planet to build it over, and it costs 10.000 minerals and time to build. For maximum cheeze: build a habitat over the time lost planet and then terraform/colonize said planet lol It is possible, in the future, that I include a minor defines tweak to offset the resources (some kind of tiny upkeep increase somewhere). I haven't looked into it, but I'll see how the game feels. Right now I'm in full on bugfix mode. Glad you're all enjoying the mod

What's the accepted norm when it comes to bug reporting involving modding? I really dont want to post on the bug forums unless I discovered (and confirm with test) a vanilla bug. They have their hands full as it is. I'm unsure how to proceed. I'm also fairly sure I've done everything correctly. for those interested: I discovered weird behaviour when making a custom defense army building and a custom defense army spawned from that building. 1) build custom building 2) every month spawns 1 of your custom unit associated with that building up to the max you set it to spawn (defense_armies = 3) 3) once it has your max defense armies (3 in my case) it starts to delete some of the normal defense armies every month 4) once all other defense armies are gone, it starts replacing them with your custom defense armies It's really weird :p Video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OArcau5vzK0

GotLag posted:Another bug for you: modifiers need to be removed when planets get cracked (and pacified too?). In particular precursor shields look really out of place on a cracked planet. I fix that partially today. (only for newly cracked planets**). Planet cracking will remove pretty much all modifiers. I'll take a look at the shield graphics not being removed. I kinda want to be a bit more exotic with those and planet killers, but since I cant afford the DLC right now I cant really experiment/test. I'm not 100% sure how to remove the planet shield graphics with the event and like I said, cant test it right now. So for now it'll look a bit silly, least for this month :3 And thanks for the compliments! Yeah I added in a lot of mini events that remove some negative modifiers after a while **edit: of you want to clear modifiers on already cracked planets: Select the broken planet, open the console and type event pm_planet_destruction.1 Guilliman fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Feb 26, 2018 |

Maybe I'm just really dumb on the ethics and expectations of bug reporting but I find the 100 character limit for bug reports really infuriating. So much so I'm expecting to be banned for posting it as a normal thread: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...mplate.1075385/ That error message made me far more angrier than I'd like.

Does anyone else feel combat speed is way too fast? I don't think artillery ships or long range starbases are possible right now. The enemy fleet just has to tank one shot before they're in engagement range with their superior shorter range weapons.

Managed to pry open the error log and it's all this error: [trigger_impl.cpp:9680]: [ file: common/scripted_effects/pirate_fleet_effects.txt line: 440] Invalid target planet scope for is_planet trigger Trying to find out if this happens to non-modded saves before making a bug report.

Jazerus posted:something that's not obvious: gulli's habitat modifiers on moons apply to habitats built over their planet If you really want to cheeze btw, build a habitat over a planet or a planet with a moon that has the Temporally Displaced modifier (the science one that adds 6/6/6 to space resource & research bonuses) It too gets a habitat bonus (+science) and after you have your habitat. Terraform that planet and colonize it. Double dipping the bonuses :P

hobbesmaster posted:How? Was just taking a jab at ya :> This is quite modded, tier 10 components + defensive stations and defensive fortresses alongside of the platforms. I wonder if there's a mod out there that already add the medium and large defensive stations back into the game in the form of platforms. If not I might release it as a separate mod instead.

Honestly they should just return in the base game. It's not hard to balance them out: Medium platforms require starbase level 3: long build time, uses 2 defense platform "capacity" and more expensive. The large platform requires starbase level 5: even longer build time (year+), uses 4 defense platform capacity and even more expensive, especially on the energy upkeep. Each stations main bonus over the previous one is higher base hull health (x2.5 over previous size) and more weapon slots. Utility slot numbers dont have to increase x2 for every size either. In my component mod they're fairly balanced this way. I'm using custom sections to make sure no station is too overpowered by having too many weapon and utility slots. They do gain extra aux slots. You build the small platforms to bring up your defenses fast. The medium and large ones you build over time to reinforce the small ones. I really think they could work in the base game tbh and I hope to see them return.

Need defensive med/large stations back as a mid/endgame option. Medium platforms for tier 3+ starbases Large platforms for citadels only. You can already restrict their "size". In my mod the mediums take up 2 starbase platform slots, the large ones 4. (in the screenshot they still took up 1 for testing reasons) Health scales are: Small: 1000 Medium:2500 Large: 6000 Balance wise: restricted utility slots and medium platforms have few options for smaller weapons and large weapons. Large platforms have no small slots for weapons (and thus vulnerable to small ships), but access to multiple large slots. I'm very sure they can be balanced if brought back. Hell, the large platforms could be locked behind a perk to add extra "cost".

Gekkoh posted:
The AI needs to first start building loving buildings. At no point should there be more than two pops without a building underneath it in any AI empire. If the player can manage this, so should the AI. Especially with it's resource cheating The same can be said for player sectors. I strongly believe the AI doesnt queue up multiple buildings on a single planet. It just seems to do one, wait for it to finish, and then do another. Meanwhile, 5 new pops have appeared duo to migration and growth.

I haven't checked this at all, but with the speed they build I almost feel like they only build one at a time in their entire empire rather than per planet. If you just do one building after another you shouldnt have free pops for long. Something is definitally preventing the AI from properly building.

I really wish gateways werent blocked to "1 per time". Rediculous if you want to build a large network late-late game. I've cheated and modded it so the first stage time is practically 0. The only restriction should be resources. If "manpower" as the devs claim is massive for these structures, then bloody put in a manpower resource. Late game (250 years +) I shouldn't be restricted by anything other than raw resources. As it is now it's tedious and unfun. Much like upgrading 20+ starbases and building poo poo in them. I'm really starting to get frustrated at the huge amount of tediousness "busy work" in the game.

Time is a bad resource when it means, from a gameplay perspective, you sit there for 1-2 hours at max speed waiting for poo poo to finish building/upgrading.

wiegieman posted:What he's obliquely hinting at is that there's now a startup event that displays a menu for you to choose how many modifiers a planet will have. Correct ;> 2.0+ saw a major rewrite of most of my mod's internal code which allowed me to do this;  The recommended setting is now less modifiers than what it was pre 2.0 and the low amount is even less. High is ridiculous :P I'm slightly increasing the chance of the first modifier showing up on habitable planets in the next update though since I found too many of them empty at times. But that shouldnt let you stop you from giving my mod another chance Let me know what you think Guilliman fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Apr 15, 2018 |

I really liked the modifiers themselves but I finally shelved it when my two freebie planets had three negative modifiers and two negative modifiers respectively The 0-2 option should be perfect for you then with that setting their spawn chance is lower as well.

toasterwarrior posted:Quoting you because I'd like to ask something: Guilli, is it a game bug that Starbases and their weapon modules won't use mod-added weapons at all? I think I might switch back to your ship components mod over Extra Ship Components. It's a good mod, but the tech tree gets ridiculously huge and I'm certain that there's a fair amount of stuff in it that isn't balanced at all (those chrono something cannons are insane and there's literally no point in using anything else), so I'd like to go back to yours since I remember it being a lot slimmer. However, Starbases getting outgunned because they don't upgrade properly is also bad so I'm trying to avoid that. I'm not sure about starbases modules tbh. I'll need to check that.My mod adds starbase defense stations and fortresses next to defense platforms, and the higher tier armor techs give starbases extra health as well so they can keep up with bigger fleets.

Penultimatum posted:I’m playing with gulli’s planet modifiers and I found a “living planet” orbiting a black hole. How do I deal with this thing? It seems to insta-kill anything it hits with some kind of super-weapon. What kind of firepower do you need to kill it? Same amount of strength you need to kill a dimensional horror right now. I think around 30k should do if focused on hull dmg. I'm going to give it a custom loadout and stats soon though, not sure how strong I want it to be yet.
