How to change the speed multipler in game?
« on: January 17, 2015, 04:57:09 AM »

Once you have a massive fleet. It's kinda of a drab to wait for the travel. Can anyone direct me somewhere in the game folder where I can mod the speed multiplier?

I am about 98% sure that we can't change this. At least not yet although it would be nice

I've figured out an alternative to this. I just multiply the current speed of ship by five in the settings.json in the config folder.

This is the setting I use

"minTravelSpeed":250, # at max burn 0
"baseTravelSpeed":400, # in units (pixels) per real-time second (10 sec/day)
"speedPerBurnLevel":100, # speed per max burn level, in units (pixels) per real-time second (10 sec/day)

The game is much nicer now without the slow moving ships!

These changes will have a heavy impact on economy as usually slow freighters will get to their destinations much faster.

This will result in high prices due to the majority of markets being stable because of the higher percentage of met demands.

That's not true; the underlying simulation doesn't depend on trade fleets heavily - the main impact is when trade fleets are lost, but it's counted as a fraction of what's sent. So, these changes should have little impact on the economy.

Probably the amount of lost fleets drops significantly as they get to safety zones of the colonies much faster. Thus the impact on economy i`ve seen.
