[HELP] Modding resource handling for sectors

[id3oMOT0R]

Hey everyone,

I am currently trying to revise how sectors handle their assigned resources. More specific: I want strategic resources to stay in my possession, or alternatively to make sectors give them back to me in a similar fashion like they handle research points. Does anyone know if this is possible and where I would find the needed files? Thanks!

AFAIK, it's not really possible, no. There's like 3-4 lines in defines.lua which directly reference the sector AI and a file in the common folder which defines the sector types (which you can only really use to define their build permissions). That's about it, as far as modding sectors is concerned.

Hmpf... Based on the files I took a look at, this is what I thought as well. Anyways, thank you!

What is really annoying is the gouvernor building a spaceport during war even if the enemy is just next to a planet (lost about 40 war points cause of this recently). As I have never modded any Paradox game before and I am quite unsure atm how it all works together (what is possible and what not).

I wondered if this can be achieved just by editing the line

SECTOR_SPACEPORT_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.0

Of cause it'll be better if there was something like (pseudo code)

if (atWat (player) {
SECTOR_SPACEPORT_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0
}

but I don't know if this is even possible (and where to add this). Any modder out there to comment on this?

Thx in advance
