How to get infinite Hull capacity?

from GalCiv3 Forums

As the title implies, I was curious if there was a way to edit some file where I could increase the hull capacity so I could add more parts to ships, go ahead and say it'll break the fun of the game, that's my problem, not yours, soooo, if you know how to do it please share with me.

I don't believe that there's a way to get literally infinite hull capacity. However, the base hull capacity values are set in ShipHullStatDefs.XML in Galactic Civilizations III\data\Game, and you can certainly increase those values (there is probably a limit on the value you can input, but it's likely somewhere around at least a few hundred thousand). Be warned that ships made up of too many pieces have the potential to slow the game down. The variable you want to edit is MassCap.

You can also try reducing component sizes in ShipComponentDefs.XML in the same location.

Any luck on this. I have attempted to edit the ShipHullStatDefs.XML many times, double checked the path in the mods folder, no luck. The game doesn't seem to implement the change.
