Modding SEV Thread Questions

[shinigami]

Here's a cool one;

In SEIV if you wanted to tie a modified version of a standard component or facility to a racial trait you had to create a new tech area and a new version of the comp or facility. In SEV you can just change the original comp or facility like so,
Code:

---

 snip

Ability 1 Type                                  := Space Yard

Ability 1 Description                           := Can construct with [%Amount2%] minerals per turn.

Ability 1 Scope                                 := Space Object

Ability 1 Range Formula                         := 0

Ability 1 Amount 1 Formula                      := 1

Ability 1 Amount 2 Formula                      := iif(Empire_Has_Racial_Trait("Poor Builders"), 1000

 + (([%Level%] - 1) * 100), 2000 + (([%Level%] - 1) * 200))

By going this route you could easily have a Temporal race use the same spaceyard as all the other races.

Edit: added a linebreak for formatting.
