I feel like I am abusing a bug. If you invade a colony and then transfer its ownership to a third faction, it cancels out the rebellion (it even days that the colony was "liberated" by their new owners). I know that it would happen anyway as rebellions on non-player worlds always fail unless player intervenes, but I assume that future versions will fix that balance issue. I think that bailing out after the invasion should make rebels favored to win.

Donated thousands of supplies to the colony administration but month later still have unrest and rebellion. Something isn't working.

The game is crashing while entering fleet high tech seller. In mid/late game

Post the error from the log (Starsector/starsector-core/starsector.log, it'll just be named 'starsector' if you have file extensions turned off).

Okay i found the issue. I messed something up while disabling IED ships from "Luddic enchancement mod" and after fixing that it works correctly. My bad

Any intention to make the [REDACTED] a joinable faction? They have that rep that meets you and gives you their ships.

Supplies to fight a rebellion doesn't do anything to unrest (that's a separate option), nor does it immediately subdue the rebellion. It just makes the government forces stronger so they can win the rebellion over time.

Not unless they start having planets and such, which is currently outside the scope of my plans
(I don't intend to do anything along those lines until the game's story is further developed regarding the Remnants)

[TerranEmpire]

Do you have any plans for diplomacy rework?
If so, when would it happen?
What do you plan to change and how?

It might happen in the next major update (finally!)

The concept is still at an early stage of work, but I want to unify a bunch of separate systems (including invasions, operative use and industry construction, among others). Each faction will have a strategy AI that decides what problems it has and then decides what action it should take to solve those problems.

This happens when the market you're fighting on doesn't have a storage on it (though this normally shouldn't happen). Workaround: Type addsubmarket storage in console while docked with the station, you can remove it afterwards with a removesubmarket command if you like.

I don't know if it's just me, but I think that the range for friendly planet when reviving special task force is way too low, it's so low in fact, that you cannot revive even when the force is orbiting the said planet. I am periodically forced to come to the task force and make them follow me until they intersect the planet directly. That is a pain to do as I need to come, change orders, try to randomly intersect, then revive and change the orders again.

Edit: Just for the record and everyone else, as I already posted this on discord: "seems like I was wrong, if you set it to orbit, it will orbit close enough if there were no disturbances recently. But when the task force is automatically defending (for example waiting for an invasion) it will fly around the planet just out of range, so in those situations you need to set the order to orbit manually and the set it back to auto again. Is that an issue, I don't know, but as the time does not pass in the intel screen, I fell like you could skip the order reset step."

Is there a way to teach the scavengers how to properly compare fleet strength? They often force battles where their mainly freighters plus some escorts ram themselves into my small-but-deadly, highly upgraded battle fleets. I am using about 150% larger battle size and max fleet size than vanilla. Could that be causing the issue? Pics because it did happen:

Well, after you proposed it in Discord I bumped the range up to 500

That encounter (with scavengers turning from independent to pirate) is vanilla. Anyway the pirate faction is very aggressive in general; I think it's the engageWhenEvenStrength setting in the .faction file.

@Histidine

And do you have a detailed concept for the rework?

Would you mind sharing it with us? Maybe some of us can add some ideas worth considering

@Histidine

And do you have a detailed concept for the rework?

Would you mind sharing it with us? Maybe some of us can add some ideas worth considering

Brief excerpt from my scribbled dev notes for the feature:

== General concept ==
Each faction is presented with a list of `concerns`, categorized into economic, military and diplomatic (e.g. 'we have an enemy colony in one of our systems')
Each concern has a 'menu' of `actions` to deal with it (e.g. if we have an economic competitor we could build our own industry further, raid them, or sabotage them with operatives)
Concept: Other factions may also have `responses` to our actions, e.g. respond to our provocations or our diplomatic overtures?

Which concerns a faction cares about more, and which actions it is more likely to take, depend on its personality

Strategic actions can have states: presented, ongoing, failed
each faction can do X actions of a given type (econ, mil, diplo) every N months?

On every strategic AI iteration:
   Review all existing concerns, check if still relevant
      If yes, gradually increase priority?
      If not, remove
   Add new concerns
   
   If we have actions available, take an action on the highest priority concern of that type
      Once we decide to action a concern, generate list of possible actions and pick the most favored one

Screenshot of the current debug intel (I haven't even started on implementing actions yet). A player-facing intel similar to this will probably be in the completed version, so players will have some idea what the AI is thinking of.

Hello there!

Would it be possible to have certain features toggleable? I really want a mod that makes AI Markets grow and makes the AI settle new colonies every now and then. So far, this is the only mod that seems to add that mechanic. However, I do not want to have a fullblown 4X experience as of now. Thank you for your time!
