Resource Asteroids

from Sins Forums
Is it possible to mod the amount you can extract per tick? How is this done? Do you edit the asteroid or the extracter and which files in particualr?

In the GameInfo Folder there are files for each Planet type; "Planet*NAME_OF_PLANET*.entity

Edit each one to adjust the amount the asteroids give in resources and other useful bits of info too. About 1/4 of the way down the files, you should see this(from PlanetTerran.entity):

Ignore the 'neutralMetalResourceAsteroidSetup' and the Crystal one, just edit the values of the top two. Should all be self explanatory, but if you are unclear about a value, just ask ;)

EDIT: Well, it would look slightly different, there are spaces in front of the different sections making them easier to read in the file. But I can't for the life of me work out how to keep the tab spaces there in a post. ggrrr
