Things I figured out after hours of playing which I should change (modding).
Due to the often extended distance between star systems (outer rim problem)
1) Increase the range of planets/outposts were you can build mines etc
2) Increase the range of all FTL methods
3) Increase the base influence from 3 to 4 because of the need of more outposts
4) Autocreation of Hyperlanes should be optimized (more connections)
5) Increase the distance between the starting races
But now to the problem, how to do this?
2) & 3) is located in the 00_defines.lua
NDefines = {
NGameplay = {
FTL_RANGE_WARP = 60, -- Base warp range 45
FTL_RANGE_WORMHOLE = 90, -- Wormhole range 65
FTL_RANGE_JUMPDRIVE = 150, -- Jumpdrive range 100
BASE_MONTHLY_INFLUENCE = 4, -- Base Influence gained per month
},
NAI = {
OUTPOST_STATION_RANGE = 30, -- AI consider outpost station to be able to extrude border about this far 20
},
}
But whenever I change something in the file it crashes, even with just changing one value. What went wrong and how to change?
1) Is this the right value under NAI ???? I think not, but where is this value located in?
4) Where can I change the autocreating values?
5) Where can I change the distance of the starting races? Is it in the map/base.lua
countries = { ideal_sq_dist_between = 150*150, -- Ideal square distance between countries
min_sq_dist_between = 100*100, -- Min square distance between countries
}
