Default Re: Couple of Qs - retrofitting and minesweeping

quote:
I heard somewhere that there is a limit of 100 mines per sector? Is this determined by the game-creator? Or is this a hard coded limit?

So if I include enough sweepers to sweep 100 mines per turn, I should never have a problem with mines?
Maximum mines per player per sector is an entry in Settings.txt, so it can be modded.

However, the hardcode implementation makes this a "soft" limit. If there are less than 100 mines in the sector, you can add as many more as you can launch at the same time. Once there are 100 or more mines, you can't launch any more.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
