make the Intelligence Centers become available from the start that will fix the problem

I was leaning towards allowing them from the start already for v1.15, so that could be part of the fix.

I don't think the AI should build IC such early in the game - even before meeting any other player. Better build some RCs first and at least 1 pop transport ...

And is it possible to check for planet (pop) size when deciding if a space yard will be build? All those 500 pop planets will never get a decent build rate IMHO ..

There is a bug where if you issue orders to colonize a planet, a colony ship will strip a planet dry of population. Is there anyway to set it so they take from the total population minus 1 million?

It's an SE5 bug that somehow got re-introduced in the latest versions. Not too much can be done about it, but I'll try and add a workaround for the AI in the next update. I've noticed they tend to deplete a few planets dry.

"How does FQM break ruins?"
"I had re-numbered the unique areas to 1-6 instead of the 1-4, 6-7 used in stock (which needs to be fixed). Simply edit the entries for unique ruins to be 1-6 and you'll have no issues."

Can you give a more detailed explaination?

Edit the 6 "Empire - Grant Unique Discovery" entries for the Normal Planet record - which is the first one in the StellarAbilityTypes.txt data file.

Why wouldn't you just post the question in the thread you linked to?

There are actually 12 in FQM (2 possible descriptions), and you only need to edit 2 of them... I added this bit of text to the FQM5 help page a few days ago. Hopefully its clear enough.

Open Data\StellarAbilityTypes.txt in the new folder. Find Abilities 17 and 18 of the Normal Planet entry. Change the Amount 1 Formula values from 7 to 5.

I don't have an account there, plain and simple.

And thanks for the detailed explanation.

The next version of the Balance Mod, v1.15, is in the very last stages of testing. There are many improvements to the AI and a number of data file changes that should shake up gameplay for the best.

The BM forum at SE.net has lots of info on it:
