[0.9 RC 9] Unable to produce modded ship at colony
« on: November 19, 2018, 06:38:08 PM »

Hey Alex, I have a modding question/ bug: (Feel free to move this if it is in the wrong area)
Do ships need variants to be custom made at colonies? I've been having issues getting several custom ships of mine to finish completion at my colonies. I had a 450K ship in the works for like 4 or 5 months and I had 120K production ability. What gives?

It does, yes. The variants also need to be listed in data/world/factions/default_ship_roles.json.

OK, thanks.
Also: Feature request: Could we get some kind of progress bar on orders to show will get produced the current month versus the next one?

It doesn't quite work that way under the hood - rather, it looks at how much production it currently has available (including built-up over previous months) and randomly picks stuff until it runs out. Then it saves the remainder for next month.

Could show how much is accumulated, though, hmm.

And or please mention that as I (and most other players I suspect) did not know it built up

(Pretty sure one of the tooltips on that screen talks about this, though that's not exactly super prominent.)
