Default Re: Question about starting facilities

Hmmm... figured out one thing I was doing wrong - I had it dependent on a tech that you do not start with, DOH! That being said, I was able to get it to take most of what I wanted, but it seems like the starting homeworld facilities is predecided somewhere other than the AI_Con_Fac file.

IIRC, the starting facilities are hard coded and not controlled by the AI files. It picks the facilities by highest Ratings as you describe.

Judging from the rest of your list, that would normally be the Resupply Depot, which uses Supply Generation.

Yeah, it was the resupply thing!

I have it working now, but since many of my facilities have multiple abilities the AI doesn't always want to build them as "one is already in system" - well in it's eyes at least

Thanks for all the help everyone
