Small Ships Mod discussion

You could try adding some dummy abilities and have the AIs call for those instead of colony modules. There are plenty of them available.

I'm not rewriting the AI; I wouldn't even know where to begin.

If you add these abilities (for example) to the Rock Colony Module:

Resource Generation - Minerals

Then open up the Design_Creation AI files and do a find-replace of

Colonize Planet - Rock

with

Resource Generation - Minerals

Sure, it is not a whole lot of fun, but you can get the AI to design the colony ships fine with this method.
