Modding Limitations: Things needed for Next Patch

[Captain Kwok]

On point #1, all Aaron has to do is make it pick a random existing image in the mod directory if present instead of picking a random image based on the default ship size.

MB made a program that processes a bunch of turns for AI testing, you know. I forget what it is called though...

It's been posted before, but I'll post it again in the hope that 'the powers that be'(MM) will add them:
1) a component that can generate research points.
2) a component that will generate Intel points.
3) a component that will store resources.

The above will allow 'true' Nomadic Races.
The Space Gypsy's will thank you!

I am not sure how it is for testing modded data files, but for testing AI's MB's batch program is a god send. I always use it to test mine. At first, run 50 turns with a save every turn, you can see how the AI progresses in the early game. Then, after some tweaking, run 150 turns with a save every ten. Finally, after even more tweaking, run 300 turns with a save every 10 turns. No better way I have found yet. Thanks MB!!

PS - Don't forget to use the AI deathmatch map, include your race AI against the Tessalate, and run 500 turns. If you Last til 300, youve done a good job with your AI files.

How about a component that generates population growth for the stored population on board a ship? So you wouldn't need planets to increase your people.

Where can I get the file and how do I use it?
