Default What tech does the AI not use and why?

I'm a dumb newbie. Did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. It doesn't use Stelar Manipulation and what else?

If 'properly programmed' it will use stellar manipulation (Warp Openers, Closers etc). AI will not use Remote Miners, Emergency Supply Pods, Emergency Movement pods, none of the Ancient Techs (massive ionic weapons etc) are used by default (but like Emissive Armor it will be used if modded correctly into the AI txt files).

Hmmmm.....anything else guys?

Since my programming skills are non-existant,has anyone made an AI Mod which gives the AI the same choices as a human player?

I'm a relative newb myself, but it looks like the TDM mod is what you are looking for. I have seen the AI use many of these techs in TDM games.

TDM' AI uses all available racial buildings, computer viruses (Cue Cuppa build nasty CV+AS ships ) Some races also put master computers to help the crew. True, AI cannot make pure MC ships and only uses MC as a gimmick. It is possible to make AI build Monoliths - simply restrict the research of extractors/mines/farms to level 1 and force AI to research several levels of monolithes ASAP and it will build them !
