The DOS batch program works on basis

If I offended you, in any way; I apologize. I thank you for our discussion, with your help I will be able to tweak the AI as not to be overbearing in a warp race!
And tone there research etc, so the human will have more of a chance:

“with [one planet] default set up ; and this AI will do fine in No warp, Finite !!!! no need for extra starting planets.”
~~~~~

In regards to my statement:

“maybe should wait to be sure the DOS Batch program is compatible with Non SE 4 Based Data files.
In regards to the AI, I don’t believe the AI scraps any facilities in se4 or AI Campaign after the game starts. Have you tested your DOS batch program before you advanced any turns to be positve that the Facilities are in good order from the start?
With this being true, and the AI does not Scrap facilities, then there may be a flaws in your test or a bug with the DOS program or it only works with BASE se4 Mods. Meaning no disrespect what I am about to say: Your test may not be valid with the tests you have been running for this AIC and Olegs AI in his mod.?!?
This flaw can be proven to exist in seconds; by just starting a new game (with out the DOS batch program) with the parameters we discussed. Then checking all facilities and you will notice the Planet and the the CCs on the HomeWorlds are as they should be"

I felt your statements warranted this reply, here are your Posts:

I have seen the AI scrapping their homeworlds when the unavoidable 0 of minerals has been reached after about 20 years

All cultural centers have been scrapped, only three facilities remain: SY, and the other 2 I might be wrong: resupply depot and a port or similar. You will see it from the files.

I mean, just to circumvent the problem with AI scrapping cultural centers when HP is depleted

~~~
Actually, I assumed you have had a lot of experience in space empires IV, and would know that a cultural center was a Facility, and that the AI in se4 never scraps Facilities.
I guess I was surprised you would post statements as above in your (Quotes), if, knowing the AI does not scrap facilities.

Unless I am misunderstanding you; and there is another issue?

No matter, it is difficult to express ones self with the written word, and I am no writer, but there is one thing I want you to know:
I appreciate the effort and time you put into this and that a lot of our discussion has helped with AIC.
In regards to scraping Facilities, I mean...well you know what I mean.

Thank you very much for your assistance PsychoTechFreak
