Modding newbie's question: what do you mean by "AI control"?

The AI files as they are have some limits: you can't call for a specific component, for example, and the AI will always pick the component with the highest value.

Using non-functional abilities can offset this and FORCE the AI to build a specific component.

I just did a little program that scanned the components and abilities txt files. It found the Launch Drones was the only ability named in the components file that was not in the abilities files (assuming the program ran succesfully )

Well that simplifies things then. All you have todo is manually add the launch drones ability to your program as i did
