Okay, thanks. That brings up another question, but let me have a look at those files first...

The population and happiness modifiers in settings.txt seem clear enough, and I know that a planet with a spaceyard builds faster than without one, but I don't quite understand how this section from data\facility.txt affects the rate. What's shown here is 2000, 2000, 2000: the same as the base rate for the planet.

When a SY is built, the build rate becomes that of the SY facility in Facilities.txt. The base rate in Settings.txt only applies if there is no SY; they are not added together.

But I did get that section from Space Empires IV\Data\facility.txt not from settings.

The 'Facilities' folder only contains pictures.

Now I am confused.
