[quote who="Maiden666" reply="1632" id="3615080"] Gaunathor, you just heavily nerfed Yor[/quote] I know, and this is intentional. With Advanced Charging Stalks on +30% morale it's impossible for the Yor to have Iconia on anywhere near max population. The disparity between the morale bonuses on Iconia and the colonies is simply too great. Even with the changes I made it's still difficult, but at least the Yor now reach a higher population on Iconia than before. [qu
[quote who="Maiden666" reply="1629" id="3614925"] Solution would be to give the Maintenance Grid a planetary moral bonus - and increase its AI to 200 (its oftentimes not even placed on Iconia!). [/quote] I would actually prefer to simply change the MC back into what it originally was. That way the Yor have a proper morale improvement for all of their planets, instead of just for one planet. Though I'm not quite sure whether we should keep the pop-growth bonus or not.
[quote who="Maiden666" reply="1623" id="3614776"] Torians seem to be not very interested to research category "biology" or "farming" either. [/quote] I think that's part of their AIP. The Iconians behave the same way regarding biology techs.

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="1619" id="3614636"] - I'm going to decrease the cost of "Xeno Farm Construction II" to 500 (halfed) because this tech adds only a +1 to the strength of the farms.

Alright, here is a test version based on Maiden666s post. Here are the changes: PlanetImprovements.xml Civilization Capital: changed food from 8 back to 16, removed food percentage bonus removed Basic Farm and Minor Farm Xeno Farm: changed UpgradeTarget from BasicFarm to None, changed Cost from 50 back to 40, replaced food percentage bonus with 3 food Enhanced Xen

[quote who="MabusAltarn" reply="1613" id="3614413"] Gaunathor I'll have a look at your AT sheet tomorrow. [/quote] Okay, but I don't how much of it would be acceptable for the CU. It basically boils down to a return to the original game in a majority of cases (90%+). My changes to the tech trees aren't included in the sheet, but it's the same there too. Anyway, have a good night.

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="1607" id="3614270"] The Food Distribution Center is also gone. [/quote] Well, it wasn't that good to begin with. The only time it was better to use the FDC instead of a farm is when your pop-cap was at 28b+. Increasing the bonus might have helped, but it seemed a bit redundant after the farms were changed to use percentage bonuses too.

[quote who="MabusAltarn" reply="1603" id="3614195"] I'm sure there was a reason behind it but as far as I can tell Minor techs are Copy&Paste from regular techs and structures. Why not use those?

[/quote] If we make changes to the RaceConfig.xml, then the *.raceconfigxml of the players become outdated. Depending on the changes, this may brake the race, because it doesn't start with the techs it's supposed to have, or starts with techs it no longer should have, etc. [quote who="Maiden666" reply="1600" id="361

Basic Farm is unlocked by Industrial Revolution, Slave Farm by Traditional Slavery, and Minor Farm by Minor Industrial Revolution. They all share the same InternalName.

Okay Mabus, if I'm not getting a response from you until Tuesday as to how you want me to handle the bug in the Improvement Editor and the bad AI behaviour caused by giving farms a percentage-bonus, then I'll send the files in to Stardock as they are. Along with a note of the known issues. I'm tired of waiting.

The planetary social/military slider can only be adjusted, if the colony is linked to a shipyard. Otherwise, 100% of the output is going to social manufacturing.

The Coercion ability makes the wheel available for all your planets, and the Bureau of Labor improvement re-enables it for the planet you build it on.
The Drengin were still using the removed Totalitarian party, and the Category of Xeno Farm Construction II was still set to Biology instead of Farming. That's fixed now. Same link as before.
