Fyron's Quadrant Mod Discussion Thread

I recently learned that the 30 MB limit on Shrapnel is per file, not per user. So I have uploaded the Deluxe Version of the mod here on Shrapnel.

The link in my sig now links to the file on Shrapnel, not PBW. Happy downloading!

Actually, starting the colonies with 1M by default would be great! Or maybe 4M to simulate a colonizer with no cargo pod, if that wouldn't be a conflict and would be safe from potential abuse?

Another quirk I noticed Last night while testing my AI which I can't explain yet is that for some reason, the AI was repeatedly attempting to colonize a specific sector with two storms and no planets in a one of the few "newly-formed" systems on the map. I didn't take any notes, but if you'd like more info, let me know.

That means there is a planet there, and it is behind a cloaked storm. AIs will still try to colonize cloaked planets, even though they can't.

It must be that "Storm C" planet system. You should edit that out...

I know what causes it. As long as they only waste 1 colony ship, I don't see it as that big of a deal.

Ah, of course; I should have read further back in this topic. Not a big deal to me.

I would like to add a vote for the occasional derelict ringworld/sphereworld system, if it's doable.

Thanks!

It might be doable, but would only be included in something like the Ancient quadrant type.
