Need design Creations help

[douglas]

AI tags are just a set of 20 meaningless abilities that were added in patch 1.91. They don't actually do anything, but the AI treats them exactly the same as any other ability. If you set up a design creation file to call for something with the ability "AI tag 1" (that might not be the exact ability name, look it up in ability.txt), it will work just the same as if you had called for, say, the quantum reactor ability. The AI would look for the best component it has the tech for and use that. For AI tags, "best" is defined in terms of the number of tech levels required to get the component. Listing the same tech area multiple times as a requirement for the component will have no in game effect, but will increase the AI's evaluation of how advanced the component is.

Note: While the above discussion mentions only components, AI tags are valid anywhere they might reasonably be used to aid AI decision making.
