You should finish your v1.05 game first as changes to the AI's list of ministers are not registered unless you start a new game.

Kwok don't you think that MM should try to change this?
If you have to start a new game everytime you change the AI it might get very tedious.

[Captain Kwok]

I was kind of surprised that the ministers were treated like the design types, that is the ministers are saved with the game and never loaded again from the minister data file. So it would be better like you suggest to have MM to change that...

does the ~recalc cheat not work for this?

I haven't experience any problems with intel points not showing up. Silly question, but the planet has population etc?

Kwok , after 58 turns , the ai won't build intelligence facilities on my intelligence planets (so it's showing as 0 int points), but is it possible that the ai won't build intelligence facilities because i don't have any intelligence research done yet ?

[Captain Kwok]

Boromeo:
Has Intelligence Services I been researched.

Comments about the AI? Are they being too friendly in general?

[boromeo]

Hmmm no, must be the reason why no intelligence facilities have been constructed, research are under ai control but after 74 turns now since intelligence points are very important , i wonder why the ai did not do intelligence research yet (after 74 turns)

[Q]

Kwok I noticed that some AI build remote mining ships in BM 1.05 (I did not start a new game with 1.06 yet), but these ships sit just over a colony and are therefore useless as far as I can see.
As my game is quite advanced now (over 2420.0), I see AI mining warp points, which is very good!

[Captain Kwok]

Remote mining orders were added in v1.06, but I guess you'll have to wait a bit to see that.

I've just been informed that the Steam version of SE V auto-updates even if you tell it not to, and that backup copies will also be auto-updated. Horrible news for a PBW game, of course. Do new patches tend to break Balance Mod savegames, or is it usually possible to patch, update to the new patch-compatible Balance Mod, and continue playing? If not, we might be forced to play stock (ugh).

[Captain Kwok]

New patches wouldn't affect Balance Mod PBW games.
