How to mod the homeworld starting facilities?

[geoschmo]

Not correct. They are not hardcoded, they are in the Default_AI_Construction_Facilities.txt, or if your race has a race specific _AI_Construction_Facilities.txt it uses that. You can't change them from within the game, but you can adjsut that file to get diffeerent facilities on your homewolrds.

Sorry Geo,
the racename_AI_Construction_Facilities.txt does not determine the facilities on homeworlds. It is indeed hardcoded.

Well I never tested it myself, but I asked the same question here a while back and was told it was controlled by the text file.

After seeing the classification of "Homeworld" in the construction file, I also made the assumption that you could alter your starting homeworld, but alas all efforts failed. I would say it is indeed hard coded and that the "Homeworld" entry in the construction file will only dictate a colonized world that is chosen as "Homeworld" or if you take a "Homeworld" from another race that still has facility slots open.

Note though, that you can change the homeworld facilities by modding Facilities.txt and giving the facilities you want abilities to match the ones the hardcode is looking for. As long as the new facilities are the "best" ones available, they'll be placed instead of the normal ones.

See the Proportions mod for an example of a radically different homeworld set-up.

Geo:
It's always been hard-coded.

Capnq:
That is exactly what my post says. It does not say that a HW gets 1 Organics Farm facility, it says it gets 1 facility with the highest level of organics generetion.

Right Fyron. I wasn't saying it had changed. I was saying you were wrong. Only it turns out you were right and I was wrong. Which is no big suprise. I am wrong quite often.
