[quote who="dansiegel30" reply="18" id="3569694"] The only "errors" I have seen, are that certain mods screw up the portraits, but you run into that issue with any custom faction mod. [/quote] I am having some issues with the workshop and I am pretty sure it's on my end. Several of the factions don't display any images. One of them is the Vulcan faction that has been dl over 50 times so it must be me. I can't figure why most work fine but more than several

This has been broken since day one. The ironic thing is, at first it was really broken bad and Environmental was way better than the subsequent techs. So, they "fixed it" but they only made it where Environment is no longer better, but it is essentially equal to the later techs. Nobody screams about it on a daily basis, because it does not really break the game, but it should be fixed and if I was the boss, I would be kicking the guys ass who was supposed to have fixed it before. &nbs

This is a great mod. Lots of fun. The traits are very powerful but can be balanced by granting other traits to the AI. It takes a lot of the sameness out of the game. You are no longer playing against factions almost identical to you, with a little nuance.

I have downloaded a number of the factions successfully but some of the factions have no graphics, no foreground, no background and no logo. I have been thinking that they were probably bad files but I noticed that one of them (Vulcan faction) has over 50 subscriptions. So, I am pretty sure the problem must be on my end. Has anyone else had a problem and/or have any answers? Moving this from Mods to support to see if I can get an answer

All you have to do is request 1 or more constructors and they will be sent automatically. You can upgrade all from the govern screen option at the top of the screen.

If you are getting that in the current build you should do a ticket. The power ticker was fixed and stops at 999,999 but it does not go to zero unless you have a unique bug

It is still in the game for me. You can stop and start it by typing turn in the console. If you have soaked the game, the AI doesn't use the turn prompts and if you restart the game you have to restart the prompts

[quote who="TurielD" reply="71" id="3569878"] I don't think that's actually true [/quote] You're correct, it works in the game

[quote who="naselus" reply="44" id="3570170"] I'll only be making the mod for full release versions of the game from now on, I think. [/quote] Probably a good idea. I am opted in and haven't had any serious issues. Most of the mods seem to work. However, they are not on the scope of yours and I doubted it would work. I look forward to trying it later.

Will it work for 1.1?

[quote who="Hereward_Hills" reply="3" id="3569970"] I did experiment with getting the extreme xml stuff to work with non extreme planets but it didn't work. It appears that the hard code only uses extreme xml stuff when IsExtreme is set to true. Shame because the marginal planets of Gas, Oceanic and Tundra could all have benefited from extreme colonization. Still looking for a work around. [/quote] I agree that gas planet colonization should be extreme since you can'

Looks great, I have d/l and installed.

I am opted into 1.1. I installed the mod as directed to mods in GCIII my docs and I installed the ships into designs in GCIII my docs. I am not even sure if it is supposed to work with 1,1 but it does. However, I can't use the federation ship style with other factions. It shows up as a choice but when I choose it the ship style stays the same. As far as the federation mod itself it is damn nice.

I don't think I am getting that. My custom colony ships and constructors don't look like scout icons.

Anyone else noticing that quite a few of the factions posted to the workshop are not rendering graphics properly? It is usually the intro photo when you choose to play as a particular faction. Sometimes the leader picture is totally off center and shows nothing at all. The Warhammer races are pretty much all screwed up this way. This is not a problem if you are just using the factions to fill out a game, but I am kind of picky and I would not be happy posting a faction that did not re

[quote who="mortili" reply="4" id="3569192"] Not sure what you mean (screenshot would be nice), but the graphics are mostly placeholders so its probably just that [/quote] Yeah, that's it I guess. The portrait is there but the foreground and background are of Terran Alliance. I'll watch for an update

In game recently I let the game run on soak for about 100 turns. I was way ahead of the AI and bored with the game when I went to soak and the AI continued to colony rush until they had nearly 200 planets. I restarted from auto save and found that the Ai is apparently not bound to the turn button. They were continuing to colonize but were making only 1-2 improvements and just leaving the planet unattended. No proje

I didn't get any foreground or background graphics. I am running .03 if that matters

[quote who="Suomi Sotilashenkilo" reply="13" id="3568799"] My problem is how ideology works, not whether or not they're balanced. It's not about having benefits, its about it makes no sense how it's implemented. Benevolent races should be liked by other people while malevolent should be hated, yet in this game they're both equally hated. [/quote] Explain to me why a malevolent faction should like a benevolent faction, or for that matter why a prag

In the dev stream today there was a sudden defeat, and there are options to view stats that should reveal the who, how, and why.

[quote who="Deathwynd" reply="5" id="3568539"] it may break any number of things. [/quote] You might be right. It sounds like you know what you are talking about. I was only going by the fact that I have had many mods stop working after a patch and II have never seen a mod break the game. Me not seeing it does not mean it hasn't happened, or will not happen. For me and this mod, I haven't noticed any brea

[quote who="CrankyMoe" reply="16" id="3568491"] (I've long stopped using the Pragmatic free constructor-to-colonizer conversion). [/quote] Just wondering if you stopped because you think it is an exploit or because the mod you mentioned makes it undesirable?

[quote who="wpkelley41" reply="2" id="3568419"] Will this work with 1.03? If so, will it simply download to the necessary file, or do I need to do more? I assume I have to check the "play with mods" box in game? [/quote] Yes it works with 1.1. Yes the folder goes into mods and that's all you do, and yes you must have mods selected. As far as breaking any fixes, I haven't noticed any breakage and fixes tend to break the mods and not vice-versa.

No the UP does not count as meeting them. Think of a UN meeting where there might be countries that you have no idea where or who they are. You need to actually meet them to interact with them

The resource improvements were great when they introduced them but perhaps a little OP. As seems to be typical, they over-reacted to the shrieks of the power players :) and made them nearly useless. I am kidding about the power players part. I actually think it was changed due to a disagreement among the devs. In it's original iteration, the Antimatter Plant gave you either a 4 or 5+ adjacency bonus to everything. Now I think it is +2 and nearly worthless. The Promethium P
