Missing research centers in mod
 

Strangely enough, homeworlds in my mod are starting with no research facilities! And not only that, they are starting with 220 research & intel points production even without such facilities! Before you ask, no, I didn't change the family number of Research Centers or make them unattainable tech... does anyone know what could be going on?

Did you stick research or intel generation on something else?

Why yes! At first I thought, "no, why would I do that?" but searching through my data files I found I added 200 research & intel point generation to Space Port III. So that explains it - it used the lowest-down facility with research points generation, instead of going by family! Guess I'll have to move the Spaceports up to the top, then...

Oh, if you're wondering what I mean by Space Port III, I expanded Spaceport and Resupply Depot facilities to 3 levels. The 1st level acts normal, the 2nd and 3rd are cheaper. In addition, they have added abilities - Space Port II stores resources & cargo, Space Port III does that and generates resources, research, & intel, Resupply Depot II stores resources, and Resupply Depot III trains ships & fleets.

<Edit: Oh, dumb me, I know why I didn't have any research centers! It was because I was starting on high tech level! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif >

The design of a homeworld at game start is hard-coded and it will look for spaceports BEFORE any research facilities. So, moving the space port down the list won't help you in this case.
