Or Global.getSector().getCampaignUI().addMessage() for basic messages.

[Alex]

Oh yeah! (Fun fact: that uses MessageIntel under the hood, but, yeah, a nice shortcut for basic stuff.)

[Timid]

Hmm? Could you clarify about what context you're working in here? What class has these methods?

Mainly the bar missions and quests itself.

[Alex]

Then you'd want to check that class/its superclass(es) for additional methods of that nature, either in the javadoc or in the source.

Thank you very much!

Actually, I have another question, and though it's more lore related, I promise it's related to modding - Do Volturnian Lobsters have a spawning season? If so, around which month/s does it happen?

[Alex]

That information is in a quantum uncertainty state, meaning that since it hasn't been necessary yet, it hasn't been decided.

How to get accurate shield efficiency?
damage *= ship.getShield().getFluxPerPointOfDamage();
damage *= ship.getMutableStats().getShieldDamageTakenMult().getModifiedValue();
Is this right?

[Alex]

Yeah, I think that's correct.

Haha, in that case I have no choice but to formulate my own hypethesis! 

[Alex]

Indeed

Is it possible to place encounters like defended Domain artifacts, and wandering patrols, etc., inside a hand built system? I'd like to add several such to the Sol system https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=17711.0 made by Scmp. I don't have the first clue how to mod this game other than hacking from code examples. If it is possible, could someone point me to an example of someone else's code where they have done this successfully so I can learn (IE: blatantly steal code) from them?

Quick and probably stupid question for you Alex.

Code

	/**
	 * Whether it was spawned by a missile (or by other non-directly-by-weapon means).
	 * Needed for incoming damage evaluation AI to function properly in these cases.
	 * @param fromMissile
	 */
	void setFromMissile(boolean fromMissile);

Should setFromMissile *always* called? Even say on a missile that MIRVs into only a single missile not a spread of several, and the spawned shot does the same damage as the base missile so to speak?

Edit: Or any other weird splitting projectile or missile stuff, that isn't anything like exists in vanilla.

[Alex]

That actually only needs to be set for ballistic projectiles/plasma shots. If a missile launches another missile, this method doesn't need to be called.

Edlt: and also for BALLISTIC_AS_BEAM shots.

Take a look at data.scripts.world.systems.Galatia for an example of a probe being spawned.

Does it also apply to ballistic projectiles spawned from other projectiles?

My current interpretation is:
Use for

• Ballistic spawned from ballistic
• Ballistic spawned from missile

Don't use for

• Missile spawned from ballistic
• Missile spawned from missile

What would be the best way to go about implementing a dynamic upkeep for a structure? I was thinking about calling applyIncomeAndUpkeep() and changing upkeep as I go but I'm not sure how to zero out the upkeep at the beginning of a new month. I've just been creating intel messages but it really clogs up your screen if you have multiple colonies lol
