Proportions Mod 3.0.1 available

[PvK]

Say Inti and Attro, what Version are you two playing?

If you want to add some new stuff to an ongoing game, I might be able to make you a special brew with at least some stuff, after I get the two new PBW games started and 3.1 out.

PvK, I have too much random information from the past 12 (!) hours of fiddling, to even post. But I just want to say, NP for my help and thanks for all this cool stuff you've given us

on the colonizers: Can you just get the hull to require (one of the) Colonizer techs? Is that possible?

[PvK]

The colony ship hulls _do_ require a colonizer module. The problem is, the AI can ignore requirements like that. I have a few ideas for how to get around this, though, one or more of which I think will probably work. I'll post results tomorrow.

Ok, I got the dang AI to use the right colony modules, without causing evil side effects. I had to use bogus AI tags, though. Grr. Anyway, the Amon Krie AI will now research and build working colonizers, but I need to go edit all the others' dang AI design files... grumble.

[PvK]

Ok, done. Time for sleeeeep...

[TheDeadlyShoe]

Cool.

It was mildly difficult, but I did manage to get the AI to research colonizers in 1.2 years. But I completely scrapped that plan when I decided to get the AI to build Large Stations w/ Orbital SYs first. (Problem being that I can't seem to get the AI to design both 500kt and 1000kt SY stations at the same time... at least with the SY I).

Mmm, yes, getting them to build two kinds of orbital base will be a minor chore. It should be possible, but will need to use a named type of base with a specific size in the design file, matched with a request for the smaller one by name in the construction file.
