I don't know if this is a bug, but pet food is just constantly accumulating in my colonies. I disabled the pets part of the mod after seeing this and its still appearing.

[SirHartley]

I think the code is using the base building time in some way,  because it only seems to affect buildings that can be upgraded, IE: orbital stations. That's why the Megaport only took 7 days, the spaceport takes 15 days to build.

Yeah, that's what it is. Not sure how it factors into not applying to some buildings though.

my goal is to have the watchtowers spawn in the usual positions and i can then command line add industry to my colony. ideally this would be set to always happen at sector generation but im not that good at coding and barely understand setting orbits.

Dock with the planet, open console, "Addcondition IndEvo_artillerystationcondition", done. Watchtowers spawn automatically. Note: Artillery Stations are "Very Bad" when spawned en-masse, both for performance and for scripted fleets that may be thrown off-course, so use with care.

Am I the only one that feels like the juice from VPCs really isn't worth the squeeze? All they ever really seem to do is increase upkeep costs when I could just sell the chip for the high credit amount instead and rely on industrial output. Maybe I'm not understanding the math.

Assemblers deliver to cargo. They are structures and not intended to turn a profit without factoring in the cargo quantities which you sell. Upgrade to a manufactory if you want profitable exports.

VPCs are intended to provide a stable supply of things you can just pick from cargo, like supplies, marines or whatever you need.

I don't know if this is a bug, but pet food is just constantly accumulating in my colonies. I disabled the pets part of the mod after seeing this and its still appearing.

That is a bug. Thanks for the report.

As a quick suggestion: Right now the Salvor's tally isn't entirely sure how to label pet centers for salvage and just labels them as a 'other source of salvage'. Also, I tried to touch the automated shipyard and it didn't create an intel entry in my fleet log (unlike hypershunts/cryosleepers after defeating their guards). It'd be REAL nice to see some integration of those things into these new systems (also please consider adding artilleries to the fleet log automatically upon interacting with a watchtower/the station itself... or don't. Because I know you made those things to be mean and leaving a reminder would make them less mean. )

[SirHartley]

Thank you for the reports!

These are 0.98 features that I didn't know to account for as I hadn't had the chance to actually play the game yet '

I will, of course, add the stations to the fleet log system - including the artillery. While it's supposed to shake up the campaign movement routine, it most definitely isn't intended to skip new QOL features. They, like most of my work, will try to follow vanilla conventions.

I left an Administrator for training on a Persian League world. Is there any way to know which world? She doesn't seem show up on my payroll, and there's no storage fee like when I forget to come back for a nanoforge ship.

Good to know. Btw uhhh my rural polity farming isn't producing supplies as advertised. It's making organics instead. And a lot of food. Pls fix.

Soooo... I've broken your *** again.

Turns out. You can completely bypass domain-era artillery stations if there happens to be some pour souls stuck on the planet.

To reproduce:

Spoiler

Find a station with domain era artillery and I guess deciv'd subpopulation, keep approaching and reloading until you get a hail, like this one:

Answer the hail.
Complete the event (not sure if actually required)
You're now able to survey the planet:

After surveying, you can colonize the planet. Doing this will instantly destroy the artillery station without needing to fight it. Which is really funny.

If you don't colonize and go back, the game won't let you try so it's a one-time thing.

Also you can put down a nex outpost on a planet with domain era arty. Might wanna check that out too.

Is there a chance that this mod causes ships to lose CR if you store them in a colony storage?

[SirHartley]

RoadTrain, thank you for the bug reports

Is there a chance that this mod causes ships to lose CR if you store them in a colony storage?

Nope!

Nope!

Leaving this here as a reminder but it turns out it's even easier to circumvent domain era artillery: Just try to build a nexerelin outpost, then cancel. You can now survey the planet and colonize it. Unlike my previous exploit which required a planet to be 'decivilized', this one will work 100% of the time.

I was thinking of some ideas to spice up the relations between some of the structures in your mod. In particular, it would be neat if you could enact trade policies at the Senate that alter the way the Embassy structure works:

Magnanimous Policy - Trade is made deferential to the faction that this embassy is associated with via its slotted ambassador. This increases maximum reputation bonus this embassy can reach but grants an access penalty to colonies in the system with the Policy with a value based on the size of the faction while granting an diffuse access bonus to all colonies associated with the ambassador's faction. Alternatives could include a faction-wide access penalty, a bonus only for

Reciprocal Trade Policy - Trade is opened between both factions increasing access for both colonies in the system containing this embassy and across all markets owned by the faction. The bonus should be based on the sum of the affected markets per faction so a large receiving faction will receive a small boost across all markets while providing a large boost to access. This is similar to the new deals you can make during the resolution of colony crises in the latest game version and probably needs to have this bonus reconciled with the one generated by the embassy.

Mercantilist Trade Policy - Policy is geared toward protecting select merchant groups from trade duties, among those in particular, your fleet. Access is slightly penalized in all markets in the system containing this embassy (based on the sum of the market sizes of the affected faction against the sum of market sizes in this system) while granting a reduction in tariffs with this embassy's associated faction. Multiple systems with Mercantilist policies could potentially bring the tariff rate to 0% but that's a choice for balance that needs to be made.

The general idea here is that by building multiple Senates and Embassies in many systems you can tie as much or as little of your market policy toward a particular faction, improving both in some way.

Where are the Academies in the Core worlds?
The three Academies are in Galatia, Hybrasil – Eochu Bres, and Westenesse - Fikenhild.

Most of info about this mod's facilities are on the first page under FAQ.

I don't have access to my starsector log but when trying to view the codex entry for the pet items it gives me an error. It doesn't crash or anything, the description is just an error message for the codex item. Doesn't seem to effect anything.

Ah, thank you! It didn't occur to me that the academies were predefined with permanent locations; I was looking for some kind of widget or intel tab. Thanks!
