Component Requirements

[Phoenix-D]

you might want to read the patch thread..

"7. Added - Restriction Type and Restriction Value to Components.txt. "

Looks like this was planned for the full Version but is being implimented in the first patch.

Thank God for hex editors. Try these...

Number of Requirements:= #

Req # Type :=
Req # Amount :=
Req # Per Level Modifier Type :=
Req # Amt Per Level Modifier :=

Types: None, Level Required, Crew Required, Hull Required, Armor Required, Shields Required, Maximum Energy Required, Cannot Be Class(?)

Per Level Modifier Types: Number is the only one I tested, Percent might also work.

For instance, I got Life support to require 100 hull plus 10 hull per level using this...

Number of Requirements := 1
Req 1 Type := Hull Required
Req 1 Amount := 100
Req 1 Per Level Modifier Type := Number
Req 1 Amt Per Level Modifier := 10

Which is what that snippet at the very beginning of the components file is all about.

Thanks for the info. With the requirements choices, it looks like the way to make that universal innoculant require a medical bay would be to give the medical bay a large +crew number, 501 or so, and then require the innoculant have 600 crew. You couldn't do many co-dependent components like this, though.
