Does anyone know why the Manai shipset (as found on PBW) might crash my computer as soon as SE4 tries to load a game where one of the players is using it? We're using Proportions Mod 3.0.1 in that game.
To try to fix it, I checked the image sizes and re-saved them all using a fairly old Version of MS Paint, but it still crashes my computer. Anyone have any ideas?

MS Paint on windows XP (and sometimes 2000) saves bitmaps with a different, non-standard header than most programs save them with (including MS Paint from older Versions of Windows). Most of the time this isn't an issue, and programs are able to ignore them. SE4, however, has some strange image reading code and crashes when it encounters such file headers on Windows 98... Loading SE4 with such images on Windows 2000 or XP works fine though... Try using
www.irfanview.com to run a batch conVersion of all images in the Manai folder from bitmaps to bitmaps. This will give them standard bitmap file headers, allowing SE4 to not crash.

Well you could, but it's a lot of work - you'd probably need to limit their tech tree to accomplish it, and take away their ability to make efficient use of planets as non-disposable resource generators.

Remote mining does not decrease values in Adamant, so it is not possible.
Also, the idea of a paradigm is that pretty much every single item they have is unique to that paradigm. It is a lot of work implementing any paradigm.
