Out of game designing in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but it seemed relevant. Is there a way I can use the designer without the cheat or without starting a game to use it? I want to create my own starting ships and my own series of ships for my custom faction; however the only practical way I have found to do this is not very practical. That is in game.

Help creating unique planetary improvement in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Hello all, I'm hoping somebody can help me out here. I've been searching for some information on how to create a unique improvement for my custom faction but I'm not having much luck. Programming is not my strong point so if you do decide to help me out here please assume I know absolutely nothing; because I don't know much more than that.

Thanks for the quick reply. I actually tried that but I can't save the file, GC won't let me. I read something about a mod directory but I can't find it. Oh and while we're on the topic, I want to create some custom starbase modules, any suggestions on that?

Custom Trade good crash in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hello all, I hope somebody can help me here. I've created a new custom trade good but it is causing issues. Everything works for it until it is built. Once the building of the trade good is complete the game chokes on it and crashes. I used the Improvements editor that came with my newly dl'd Ultimate edition. I just want to clarify everything... the custom trade good was saved, the icons appear where and when they should. The only p
