Hmmm, no idea how that could happen, I'll see if it happens in my current playthrough. Did you end up hostile to Remnant fleets in other systems, and/or the faction as a whole?

Histidine,
When you have some time I could use some help for a much requested modification to Hiver Swarm that delays their invasions by a year. I know there is a option in the exerelin_config that delays all invasions but I am trying to have that only effect Hivers. I know the command line, modifyinvasionGracePeriod,  I use is wrong in line 27 but it was a stab in the dark using the wording of the option in the config. Here is what I have so far in HIVERmodPlugin:

Spoiler

package data.scripts;

import com.fs.starfarer.api.BaseModPlugin;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.Global;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.PluginPick;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.CampaignPlugin;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.econ.MarketAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.StarSystemAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.characters.PersonAPI;
import com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.ids.Skills;
import data.scripts.world.HIVER_gen;
import exerelin.campaign.SectorManager;
import exerelin.campaign.fleets.InvasionFleetManager;


public class HIVERmodPlugin extends BaseModPlugin {

    @Override
    public void onNewGame() {
   boolean haveNexerelin = Global.getSettings().getModManager().isModEnabled("nexerelin");
   if (!haveNexerelin || SectorManager.getManager().getCorvusMode()){
            new HIVER_gen().generate(Global.getSector());
        }
    }
     @Override
 public void onGameLoad() {
    InvasionFleetManager.getManager().modifyinvasionGracePeriod("HIVER", 365);
}

}

Any help in this or if it is actually doable would be appreciated.
Thank you.

There's no API method for changing grace period like that (you are using an IDE, right? it would tell you this) and invasion grace period isn't faction-specific in any case.

You could modify a faction's invasion points with the following code, maybe have an EveryFrameScript or an EconomyTickListener depressing Hivers' invasion point income for a year or so:

Code: java

InvasionFleetManager.getManager().modifySpawnCounter(<factionId>, <points (negative amounts to reduce)>);

Thank you for getting back to me, I will certainly look into it.

Some details I recall:
- Didn't check my rep at the time because I didn't think it was possible, but as I was typing this I realized I could've remotely called Midnight (not sure what mod adds this feature)
- Our relationship was inhospitable last I remember before starting the mission
- I changed my faction commission (from VRI to Spindle) shortly before starting the mission
- I used the console mod to forcefully adjust the relationship after remnant fleets started chasing me
- I started farming AI cores immediately after the mission ended to see how they like it so they would've been hostile anyway after I left the system. (Never knew why but remnant fleets can always identify you, even if your transponder is off and you don't have ziggy in your fleet.)

Just a question to make sure if this is intended behavior or not.

I've made it so that factions can't invade or make colonies until I've made a colony using the provided settings this is the only change I've made. However, in both long-term games I've played during early to mid Cycle 208, Garnir suffers deterioration, then decivilization, with many of the smaller Pirate bases following soon after.

Is this behavior intended if you disable Invasions, or is there something else I'm missing?

Devcivs happen when a planet is unstable for a long period of time. This mostly happen either after invasions (which you've turned off) if you can't get a handle on the situation.
Or if the enemy keeps raiding and tac/sat bombing the planets.

So it's a bit of a weird one, instead of trying to invade the planets and stations of pirates and their enemies. They will just go and bomb the *** out of them. And since Pirates are hated by everyone, and are very decentralised with everyone at war with them.. relief fleets to stop devics from happening rarely make it there.

API request: can you expose (or create a getter for) claimsHistory in InsuranceIntelV2? I’m writing something that’s susceptible to insurance fraud when combined with this mod, and would like to implement a (non-reflective) way to handle such scenarios. Thanks!

[holyjay]

Can the setting to allow/disallow starting markets to be invaded be adjusted mid-game? Or does it only take effect at game start?

Markets will only decivilize their stability is at zero for extended periods of time (at least 16 months), which should only happen when someone is actively raiding or otherwise disrupting the place. Are the pirate markets being regularly raided (although this shouldn't happen unless the pirate invasions setting is enabled)?

You can check the tooltips for the stability bar and the recent unrest to see what's causing their stability loss.

Sure, I'll add a getter later

It'll apply midgame, like with most other settings.

Garnir deciv

If you think that's bad, I had SEVERAL games in the last version where SINDRIA deciv'd
Fuel prices skyrocketed like they did IRL

[Vundaex]

Is there anything happening to being friend with remnants?

I've been babysitting Askonia on my current game because they just keep losing for some reason. I had to do something because rhe Sindria crisis won't start.

It's weird how events pan out when off-screen. At one point, I had 4 defence fleets orbiting Volturn and somehow the invasion fleet still got to the ground and won. But when I reloaded and went there personally, it was just one lonely Heg invasion fleet that only has cruisers and Atlases.

Ofc, since I'm already watching, my defence fleets along with one Sindrian Grand fleet were suddenly motivated to work and pummeled it to oblivion. It wasn't "evenly matched" as the reports claimed.

Say, if I run with luna option that disables diplomacy will that allow vanilla's hostilities system where factions will occasionally start fights to run?

[Histidine]

Do I have to check every invasion to see if the autoresolve strength at least vaguely resembles what gets spawned when the player is nearby? Welp, might have to do at least a few to see if this is a frequent issue.

Is there anything happening to being friend with remnants?

Next version having Midnight as a contact will prevent the Remnant component of colony crises. No other changes planned.

Nyet
(could add it back with a console runcode I'm not typing out right now)

Looks like a patrol trying to build an objective type that doesn't exist on a stable location, and crashing as a result. I couldn't tell you which mod is causing the problem though.

[vicegrip]

For modding, is there a way to reset the reputation locks that are set by exerelinFactionConfig mid game?
