Default Re: Proportions Version 2.4 released

2.3 introduced exactly this sort of thing, but for cities, only for City + Port + Depot, with all of the city sizes from minor on up. There is also a Port + Depot without a city.

I didn't do spaceyard combos yet, mainly because it seems like a pain because it will also need more than you have listed, because space yards have multiple tech levels, and I was thinking of adding even more spaceyard tech levels. I.e., there would be:

Minor City with SY 1
Minor City with SY 2
Minor City with SY 3
Minor City with SY 1 + Port + Depot
Minor City with SY 2 + Port + Depot
...
City with ...
...
Major City with ...
...
Metropolis with ...
... ... ...

And I can already see John telling me it's not fair unless I also include City + Temporal SY 1 + Port + Depot... ... ...

There are other things I might rather do with my time. Meanwhile I think it's ok to have people building SY's as separate facilities.

for example:

facility type 666: city-type-things

basic city, roman numeral I

bigger city, roman II
spaceport city, roman II
spaceyard city, roman II

huge city, III
bigger spaceport city III
bigger spaceyard city III
spaceport/spaceyard city III

monsterous city IV
huge spaceport city IV
huge spaceyard city IV
bigger spaceport/spaceyard city IV

im not sure if this will work or not, but it could be an interesting approach. its a departure from the current method, and has its own advantages and disadvantages.
