Modding Q--AI DesignCreation

I don't see anything obvious here. I can tell you from my experience that if you set shields and armor to 0, the AI will add them as fill at the end of the design. I tried adding your design to one of my saved games, but my tech levels are too high, so the AI will not redesign as it does not see any new tech.

OK. I got the design created by the AI so the design is not the problem (although my AI used normal ship yard), so perhaps I can test the component itself, however I will have to change tech requirement as my race is not temporal.

I put the TSY III into my components file and changed the tech area and my AI designed it, so I cannot tell you what is going wrong on your end.

Gandalph: Did they create a space yard base with the TSY or the regular yard? My problem has been forcing the AI to create a design using the regular yard for use during the first 40 turns in a high-tech start, or for use during the time between researching Temporal Tech 4-6 and researching Battle Stations. The problem is that, until the AI has the larger bases available, they won't create a space yard base; either no design is generated, or a useless design is generated. So I'm trying to force the AI to create 2 different space yard bases, a small one with the standard yard and a larger one with the better yard. If the AI created both in your game, then something is REALLY strange...

I used your TSY design and component and the AI created both (yours and my normal). If you want the AI to create one normal until TSY is researched then create 2 designs or put the TSY comp in design b-4 normal and the AI will design with normal until TSY is researched then use it.

I'd created both designs in the file, but I had the TSY one AFTER the normal one; that's probably the error I made. I knew it was something easy...

Thanks for the help.
