Modding Questions (especially need help for AI)

[LostCommander]

Also, does anyone know under which circumstances the .emp files need to be remade? Settings change, racial trait change, and data file change...?

Also Also, why do the component family numbers matter (other than for upgrades and component specific mounts)? What is the effect of multiple components with the same family number and roman numeral? What determines where in the component selection screen (when making new designs) a component is placed? If components are moved around in the .txt file, will that affect the AI's ability to utilize them?

[edit: + second paragraph of questions]
