How to mod the homeworld starting facilities?

[QuarianRex]

Note that you don't get the best facility for a given slot, just the one lowest on the list.

For example, if you mod a game where you start with access to Stellar Manipulation I your homeworlds will be filled with Monolith I's, which are individualy worse that the standard extraction facilities, as far as individual extraction capabilities are concerned.

It's not the best but the lowest applicable option in the list.

hmmm. i was certain that i was able to change the facilities on the homeworld by editing that file. on one of the early Versions of the junkyard mod, that still included research facilities in the game, i was able to remove them from homeworlds by removing them from that file.

i remember this vividly.

QuarianRex:
For the resource and research ones, you do get the highest producing one available. I have added a facility at the very beginning of the file that makes more resources than anything else, and it is placed on HWs. For the spaceport and RD ones, it is the lowest in the list, as you said.

Hmm, so it does. Since you didn't explicitly say that one could mod Facilities.txt , I didn't catch the difference.

This one I am 100% sure is incorrect. You can easily test it by simply doing a high tech start. You will see that your homeworlds do not have monoliths.

I just get tired of posting answers to questions people ask, and then seeing like 5 more people post the exact same thing many hours, if not days, later.

Fyron, sometimes it helps to have people give the same answer in different ways. And sometimes people just like to post. That's kind of the reason for a forum to begin with. We aren't keeping score.
