Just for giggles I ...

... saved a game that I started in the demo Version and ran it in the full game v1.67. I did that because I had a great opening game in the demo. I had chosen 3000 race points, scientific culture and low CP's.

Interesting what I found when I opened the game in 1.67. I had a s--tload of Monolith I's on all 3 main planets along with an ultra-recycler. I had only 1 Research I facility/planet and others were not in the queue. I also had a bunch of resource extractors (which I got rid of because of the monoliths.)

I had no DUC's or missiles but I did have a-PB I, security station and security something else. Of course I had to research all the basic stuff but hey! Who's going to P-M-O with an escort armed with an a-PB in early game?

Monoliths did NOT show up in the build queue and despite selecting LOW for the number of CP's originally - I have 10 in game.

Cute! And it's a hoot as well.

It happened because the game views the components and facilities file in a linear fashion from top to bottom. In the demo some facilities and components are not in the respective files. When you installed the full game, the file order was changed and thus what once was is no longer. Hope this explains.

I wasn't complaining. It was fun and somewhat challenging because things were so whacky.

How about trying something like that, only put it so that its a mod and the numbers are all crakced out) so that you upload it and all your ships just trip out (one might have been CSM 4 and now is all warp point openers (***** in maintance) anotehr that used to have PPBs is now all life support and a third that was a cargo ship/troop ship now has a ton of org and crys armor (still a transport body) and has a bunch of grav hellbores + a talisman???
