Default Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

I've also noticed the AI has a problem determing when not to build production facilities on planets. eg. They colonize a planet with 10% mineral 1% organic and 0% rads and because the minerals are so much higher in relation to the others (120% is the stock percentage in the AI files IIRC) they fill it with mineral miners. I raised the lower limit for value, so when they do this at least it isn't a compleat waste. Of course they still use a planet that is 140%,120%,120% as a reserch or intlegence planet, as 140% is not more than 120% ofeither of the other two. you will get a few more planets that fall into this area though unlessyou change the AI files the a lower prcentage difference to build. So if you make the resource range 50%-150% the AI to about 113%. I have stronger AI's now but then I changed alot of other stuff and haven't yet tried it on the stock game. If someone else wants to try it out and see what you think, I'd like to hear your thoughts (or point out anything I forgot).
