Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...
The homeworlds start with SY, RD, SP.
Then added are: 1 Best Organics Extractor, 1 Best Radioactives Extractor, then 50/50 on research and mineral extractor.
I don't think you can get arbitrary starting facils.

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...
I know how to alter that, and within the framework of the existing game, too.
Choose "Natural Merchants", and you won't start with a Space Port

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...
While messing with the facilities file I found that I could get a large number of shipyards, resupply depots or spaceports on a homeworld by giving them research or mineral mining abilities. If they generate more of them than the normal starting type of facilities they get added instead. you could have 10+ shipyards on a planet this way.

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...
What exactly would be the point of that, given that additional shipyards don't help?
I'd think it would really spork the AI, too.

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...
I read somewhere that in an earlier Version of SE4 there was a bug/cheat involving multiple shipyards. Apparently you got the benefit of all the build capability of all shipyards on a planet. It could be done only by queueing multiple shipyards on a planet that did not already have one on it. This may have been changed, I know by V1.19 you couldn't queue multiple yards.
I didn't test if the multiple yards stacked, but if they did you could have one cranking homeworld shipyard!

You used to be able to enter ONE space yard into the queue and then turn on REPEAT BUILD to keep adding space yards. This would let you fill a planet with yards. It should have been fixed to not allow that anymore. I haven't tried it though, so cannot say for sure.
