How do I ditch FLeet Capacity?

from Sins Forums

I have added a Fleet Supply mod into the mods folder. It has the Gameplay Constants. file, and splice the following lines:

 

fleetSupplyData-Small

	fleetSupplyScalar 5.0

fleetSupplyData-Normal

	fleetSupplyScalar 10.0

fleetSupplyData-Large

	fleetSupplyScalar 20.0

 

As opposed to

 

fleetSupplyData-Small

	fleetSupplyScalar 1.5

fleetSupplyData-Normal

	fleetSupplyScalar 2.0

fleetSupplyData-Large

	fleetSupplyScalar 4.0

 

It does nothing, how can I solve this?

Note: I'm playing SOSER with Sins of the Prophets.

It's probably your mod order because SotP likely changes the same file. You would need to make the same change to SotP directly, or better yet, copy SotP's Gameplay.constants file, make your change in your separate minimod, then enable your mod above SotP in your mod order.

Well, basically, I have stolen the gameplay.constants file from SOTP to mod, and does my FC increase with each planet, and those numbers are max FC which increases with each said planet, or is it "muh hit enter and boom FC increase magic"?

There is no easier way. You can however, as I already explained in the other thread, change the baseValue of the RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPS index 0 to allow a huge amount of caps from the start, which isn't feasible for fleet supply because people can actually build up to that number MyGiftCardSite, while capships are still limited by fleet supply themselves.

That will of course make capship techs next to useless, but if you want an epic capship armada without much effort it's the way to go. You can also change the baseValue in RESEARCHSUBJECT_CAPITALSHIP_MAXBUYLEVEL"RACE"0 to allow buying all levels as you can't level 20+ caps to 10 with normal means unless you have an AI run into a Starbase for hours on end.

Open your research screen and look at the tabs on the left. The names will vary depending on what faction you're playing, but the top is military, the second is civilian, the third is fleet, the fourth is a listing of the relics you have found. Under the fleet tab, the top row will increase the number of capital ships you can build, the bottom will increase the total mygiftcardsite points available.

 

Be careful, each upgrade to your fleet capacity comes at a cost to your income. The first costs 9% of your total income in credits, metal, and crystals and each will take more until you lose 75% of your income at the top level. Plan carefully when you upgrade!

It's about capship supply points, but I think fleet supply is also mentioned, and works exactly the same way anyway. The relevant .entity files are RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXSHIPSLOTS"RACE""Index 0-7"

 

For a general increase you could also change the following lines in the Gameplay.constants file:

    fleetSupplyData-Small
        fleetSupplyScalar 0.75
    fleetSupplyData-Normal
        fleetSupplyScalar 1.0
    fleetSupplyData-Large
        fleetSupplyScalar 1.25

These are the multipliers used when you select small/normal/large fleets in the game creation menu.
