Ok, now here's another:

How do I make a ringworld/dyson sphere?

The biggest ships are 1800kt but the smallest item to make above items are 2000kt each.

Any ideas?

No, turn on the alltech cheat and check out the stats. I can only use the stock mod in order to build a ringworld/sphereworld. In the balance mod, a cable or plating has 2000kt but the largest ship, which is a base ship has only 1800kt worth of space. Probably oversight due to rarity of occurrence.

I'd built ring- and sphere-worlds in past versions of the Balance Mod using the starbases. This may be a new sizes bug that's crept into this version. Or the alltech cheat is doing something freaky with the Balance Mod's tech tree.

It's not an oversight, I made it like SE4. The plating and cables have to be on starbases, and only the generator needs to be placed on a baseship since it needs a movement point to work.

Starbases are bigger than baseships? I thought it was the other way around, thanks.

[Fyron]

Baseships are smaller, portable starbases.

What does computer player bonus and technology cost do for the game?

Oh, and what settings do you guys prefer?

Bonus is a multiplier for resource income and build rate.
In SE4, it is 2x, 3x, and 5x for both.
In SE5, it is 2x, 3x, and 5x for resources, and 1.5x, 2x, 3x for build rate.
