Default Facilities Restrictions

I am thinking in a way to restrict certain facilities to certain planet sizes/types, but i'm having problems to make them work.

My ide is the folowing: limit some facilities, like shipyards, to certain planet sizes (Large and Above)....

Maybe if we make a very "weak" shipyard facility that needs additional "modules" that will boost it's production, making them useless to build in planets that don't support enough facilities....

My major problem is with the AI, how we can change it to work efficiently with these modifications?

If you have any ideas, please share with me, i'm new in modding and don't know a lot about the AI files.....

Thanks

Default Re: Facilities Restrictions

You could have the AI's call for a useless ability, such as "Star - unstable" on their SY planets.

With the SU ability on your SY expansion proto-facilities, they'll build them and then automatically upgrade to the real SY expansion facilities, I'd expect.

AI modders?

JLS got this to work in AIC with varied size shipyards so as you increased the City size the SY production increased, it sounded really cool, but I am unsure were its at, you can e-mail him or look it up in the AI Campaign Thread
