Well, I thought this thing needed the Junkyard mod before I can generate it. If so, someone needs to tell me where I can get it and anything special I need to know to use it. Tks!

Also, Geo, I'm wondering what I may have done wrong. There was an error in the Asmala/Gecko game for which I made a map. All I did was make starting points (and delete all the ruins in the Tesco maps). Any idea?

We've had a few failures the Last couple days. Much more then normal. And every time the game runs fine the second time when I or the game owner goes in and hits the execute turn button. I think its a system resource problem caused by some utilities we are running on the server. Let me know if you have any that won't run after you go in and kick them manually.

I got my copy from the PBW server. Puke's JunkYard mod V2.1. Pretty much default settings, and the settings that are posted on the game site.

OK, I got the mod. Changed my Path file to point to it and it seems to be creating the kind of game you want (i.e., I think every planet has ruins on it) but everything else looks the same. I thought the mod took away research but in a test game I started, research exists...so, am I just wrong in what I'm reading?

Well, there it is. As I said below, it seems to be the mod in play except for research being allowed. (still don't understand that).

Let me know if there is a problem and I'll try to fix it.

Good luck!

All seems ok.
It doesn't mod out Research as such, just the Research Centers. So our starting planets has lots of Mineral Minerals, 1 Rad, Org, SpacePort, SpaceYard & 1 Resupply Depot.
The only issue with the mod, is that because we had 100K starting resources, it automatically gives you 100K research points that you can spend, but the mod does not allow you to earn any more.
As long as the first turn processes ok, then it looks like it is working.
Thanks for hosting it Slynky.
