Hi All, Looking for some assistance. I am loving this mod first off, I am very much confused about the planetary invasion stuff. There is a help menu and even a tutorial but I might just be very slow in the head but I can't figure things out. I have no idea if I am outgunning the enemy or what not and can't tell how to best make use of it. Is there a youtube video or something that breaks it all down as this seems like a very important part of the game that I am missing out on. Appreciate any help, Thanks
Aside from Crowley_black's helpful post*, there's also a
video described here on Reddit, although it's a bit old and I forget what exactly is in it.
*minor correction: each heavy armaments unit requires two marines to crew, not one
Really appreciate the write-up, very helpful. Question, for the ships that have ground support package, do I need to just keep the fleet hovering over the planet the entire invasion or is this more of an abstract thing where I can go off chasing other fleets down and still get the bonus?
You need to hover near the planet but you don't have to be right on top of them. basically watch how the AI circle around a planet when they raid or invade, they will move away when threatened but they won't run too far and will get back to position after they are in the clear. I don't know the specific su of the range but golden rule is just to stay near the planet and take care of the flies fleet around the planet.
Also the ping circles around the planet show the approximate radius you want to stay in.
Hello, Histidine. What defines the factions starting relations? They do not seem to reflect what's in the config files. Do they take alignments or diplomacy traits into account?
I ask this because I manually changed "startRelationships" along with some other values for several factions in the jsons inside their exerelinFactionconfig folder, but this is not reflected in-game, where their starting relation points are always the same.
By default the config relations are only used in random sector (non-random relations being set in code). To make them apply everywhere, add to the faction's config file:
"useConfigRelationshipsInNonRandomSector":true,
Hi there wanted to ask is the [REDACTED] contact in prism free port in random sector mode, because the tooltips on it only mention the galatea questline not being active or other mod things not being active but as she is part of nexerelin I assumed she would be there. If she is supposed to be there in random sector is there something I have missed to make her spawn in. I just headed straight there after starting a new own faction run.
Her bar event can appear after 180 ingame days have passed. If Prism Freeport isn't present, she should appear at any independent market.
