Hmm, you could modify ColonyNetIncome to offset that, but that would affect Tourism too, which isn't affected by ProductionPoints... Or maybe just adjust all maintenance in pacing. Trouble is that trades are valued at certain incomes, and you wouldn't want to make it so much harder (or would you, that's a thought)
I just did a bit of testing, since it seemed like that could be a solution to one of my problems. I found that [i]ProductionPoints affects Manufacturing AND Research (and Income).[/i] Basically - Production is different to Manufacturing and Research. It's literally the production that the colony can output (which then gets split amongst manu/res/eco ) I have a solution that works for research rate, but I wasn't sure what to do about m

[quote who="Lightbanee" reply="38" id="3541104"] The combat AI seems to be enhanced now though, they do attack, but there does seem to be a problem with 2 units of soldiers capable of conquering a planet with 8 units of planetary defense. [/quote] This is fixed in Beta 6.

[quote who="Hwy101" reply="4" id="3540969"] Is there a download for the Beta? And, will this work on Win8; or, this moot since it's on steam? [/quote] The current Steam version is the latest Beta release (Beta 5 patch 3). You have to buy the game, and then download it on Steam to access the Beta. It will work on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, but 64-bit only. Windows 10 support will come when that gets released.
I made a class 20 planet into manufacturing-only. It was 2 or 3 thousand manufacturing. If only I could have sponsered multiple shipyards with it :p

[quote who="androshalforc" reply="8" id="3540746"] i wouldnt be surprised to find that range does not work for the AI [/quote] I know that colony ships do abide by range. When reporting on AI cheating, they did not send a ship to a habitable planet just outside their range, but as soon as they had a colony ship that could reach it, they sent it. Whether constructors are bugged for range, or only minor factions, is something I don't know.
You can find dimensions, weight, etc, by using the "Details" button A GalCiv3 Colony Ship is 49x32x110 meters in dimension, and weighs 157,500 metric tons, crewed by 15 people. Then I put the ship in orbit and its dimensions shrank to 37x24x87. Yeah. It's not affected by how many people are on the ship either. Going to submit a ticket about this. (Forget AI, this is the real important stuff) However, colonies aren't defined by the ship, they're defined
[quote who="NGC7000" reply="8" id="3540741"] Quoting Niedzielan, reply 7 If Steam has 25% or more of the market share, it is a monopoly. (That's the economic definition. Yes, there can be 4 monopolies in a single market.) Not a definition that I'm familiar with, but I will defer to you.
If Steam has 25% or more of the market share, it is a monopoly. (That's the economic definition. Yes, there can be 4 monopolies in a single market.) I'd be surprised if Steam had less than 25% of the PC gaming market, there are just so few other competitors.

[quote who="Spark026" reply="2" id="3540704"] 1) The AI appears to know exactly where the habitable planets are located. I could see this being a fine perk for the AI on the hardest of difficulty settings, but it seems at bit unfair on the lower settings. This may not can be fixed right away because currently the "Explore" algorithm seems to just search for empty space, not for nearby stars that haven't been explored. So perhaps some work into a new "Explore - Stars" algorithm

I loaded this up with the public build and saw the issue you mentioned and then verified that it doesn't happen in Beta 6. Thanks for the info!
Alright, I'll bite. Some people kept asking to be able to move Colony Capitals, so I made a mod to let you do exactly that (or at least able to destroy and rebuild it somewhere else) https://forums.galciv3.com/463831/page/1/ I've also got an idea for adjusting research rates. Several people have complained that late-game, having -50% research for a colony is nothing when you have +1000% from
There will always be improvements to be made, at some point you just have to say "It's good enough to be released", and then include anything extra in patches. If they waited until the game was fully 100% complete, it would be at least another year before release. Some people might think that that'd be worth it. Few games are ever released 100% complete, and I'm not talking about the unfinished unplayable messes out there.
[quote who="PogueMahone1973" reply="2" id="3540531"] Does anyone have a way to fix this? [/quote] "Fixed an issue where planet icons would be lost when loading a game" - Beta 6 changelog I assume that addresses any issues relating to the planet icons.
There's a bug with the Altarian Inherent Magic tech that gives them 1000% accuracy and evasion instead of 10%. This is fixed in beta 6. Agree with your other points
Try putting the files in a Designs folder inside the mod. Basically, each mod has to be self-contained.
2. Agreed. I've seen very few fleets. 3 is fixed in Beta 6 4. You can't have more than 3 +s graphically in one section, despite having more than +3 bonus there. I think I saw something about it displaying the actual numbers, so that might be fixed.
