A crazy modding idea

[Taera]

Make research and intilligence facilities much more potent but make it only "one per planet".

[narf poit chez BOOM]

that's not so crazy.

The only way to make a facility one per planet is to add in some SY ability. There is no one per planet restriction like there is a one per vehicle restriction for components.

Hmmm... sounds like another tweak to add to the SEV request file.

So, until then... what if you could make a component have an SY capacity, but with no print-out line for it (i.e. it doesn't specifically tell you it's a SY), and an impossibly high resource requirement to make sure you can't build ships with it?

or give it a 10/10/10 construction - "can build prototypes" ability? could make for interesting management decisions - "to build or to research"

Problem is, that would kill all further production of any type on the planet, including facilities and units.

That, and the AI treats all SYs identically. It does not realize that it will not be able to build a ship there in a reasonable amount of time, but it will still try to do so.

[Taera]

you should be, i was surprised when others told me you cant.

Can`t you jusdt make it: Only one per planet effective? Like this Computers or Shrines?

I believe those Abilities, not the Facilities, are especially one-per-planet.
