Is it possible to make the starting planet in "Own Faction start" consistent instead of random?

[SmogRUS]

when interacting in a dialogue on the inspection of an ABANDONED LABORATORY, he throws out of the game

I've had an interesting thing happen with regards to the Special Task Group mechanic. One of my officers that I transferred is showing as having every possible skill in the officer transfer window. I acquired him at a low level and gave him the Mentoring so I could level him up better. I saw he had every possible skill, but given that this was only shown in the Task Force window I didn't believe it, and kept him with my fleet to level him to Level 6. Now that he's maxed, I went to add him to the Task group, and saw that it still thought he had all skills. So it's definitely something that persists. Any idea how this could happen?

Just a heads-up, the Diktat mission chain seems to activate in random sector, but with no Volturn, a nullpointerexception occurs. It also skips the introductory event, and moves straight to the player being contacted.

Is the Ethos tab in Personal Info activated or is this a place holder? I played quite a bit but all those values (unlike the stats) are all 0.
My search was unsuccessful so far.

Is it possible to make the starting planet in "Own Faction start" consistent instead of random?

Well, it picks the 'best' planet it finds (specifically it calculates a 'desirability' value based on planet conditions and a couple of other factors, and takes the planet with the highest score), and the planets that even exist and what conditions they have are going to be based on the randomness of sector generation. Any planets that aren't random will probably be already be occupied, not great to have, or both.

So, guess not! (unless I should ever implement custom planet generation)
Well, same seed + same modlist should result in the same starting planet on own faction start, but I can't guarantee this works; it's been known to produce different results in the past.

That's a really weird bug! Was it just this one officer? If so, was it a normally recruited officer from a comm directory somewhere, or did you get him through some other channel?

(honestly I don't even begin to know how this could happen)

The ethos and Luddic attitude numbers are hidden values which the vanilla missions modify depending on player decisions; I also added them to a couple of places in Nex.
Currently Luddic attitude can make some dialog options available in certain situations, but I don't think ethos does anything.

Gotta say, the setting to prevent starting worlds from getting conquered addressed most of my complaints with this mod. Wish I had known about it sooner.

Even the embattled worlds are less likely to depop.

I'm pretty sure all my officers are from the comm directory as I typically forget that they're available from anywhere else.

Is there a setting that makes the factions 'just' compete/wage war for colonies that they set up during game time, i.e. the colonies they start with stay safe from destruction or takeover?

like: sabotage, messing with trade and so on can happen, the player can still try to delete a faction from the game completely, but the factions themselves will expand and then go 4X on their competition and enemies on these new colonies

where I'm coming from is this: I kinda like the "can't we all just get along" attitude of the base game, but it always bothered me that the factions don't expand and never really seem to "do anything".
from an RP (roleplaying) perspective, I like competition and rivalries, but not bombing the sh_t out of otherwise habitable core worlds just because someone "needs more" empire. I happily wipe out pirate core worlds but I see humanity itself at risk and can't see the logic in conflict when detrimental to the whole.

basically what I am asking is if there's a way in setting or as some configuration or change that allows players to have all the 4x but without starting worlds of NPC factions (vanilla and modded) being lost or destroyed - except pirates

[on that note, I'd also like to see a way in which factions can eliminate pollution and side effects from past conflicts to be sci-fi'd-away with some tech over a certain amount of time. just for RP reasons. but that part isn't something Nexerelin is focusing on. but if someone knows a mod that does that or can do that, tell me ]

[Marco_Paulo]

Just finished the full mission chain. To anyone else looking to do so, this might help - you can give planets to the Hegemony/League/Church, if they've been eliminated, to get the prerequisites back for the last two missions.

Also, does anyone know if there are consequences to breaking a ceasefire? I accidentally found out that they are sort of exploitable - the Hegemony asked for one just as I was about to take over a planet, and I accepted thinking the rest of the invasion would continue to play out. All of their retaliation events got cancelled, their reputation went from -100 to -49, and so on, but I was then able to re-invade the planet and take it over, ending in a much better situation than if I'd simply said no to the ceasefire. It seems like other factions would take issue with that, right?

Other miscellaneous things I noticed:

• You can bring a dead faction back, as stated above, but their relationships will persist - including yours, if they're angry at you. It seems like they should be a little more grateful to their benefactor!
• Interestingly enough, a tactical bombardment will clear out any enemy soldiers on military installations, during an invasion. This doesn't happen if you do it before starting the invasion, though - it took me a while to figure that out, even though it makes perfect sense when you think about it.

Getting the same error

[Histidine]

Get the ArmaA fix .jar from the Nex thread OP.

i am just now getting an error trying to copy the most recent nexerelin to my mod directory, it says it wont let me copy station_render2 png to the mod directory.  when i did a search for the file in the same directory that i had in the mod directory the file was missing...when i searched the nexerelin directory that was in my mods directory the file was missing which was causing my game to crash...

Hmm, sorry, don't know why the copying error would happen.

Although to be specific: the game should only use station_render_wireframe2.png, you can try manually downloading it to the right Nex subfolder from here if needed. station_render2.png isn't used (I just deleted mine and the game still starts); for completeness you can still get it here.

Is there a setting that makes the factions 'just' compete/wage war for colonies that they set up during game time, i.e. the colonies they start with stay safe from destruction or takeover?

like: sabotage, messing with trade and so on can happen, the player can still try to delete a faction from the game completely, but the factions themselves will expand and then go 4X on their competition and enemies on these new colonies

where I'm coming from is this: I kinda like the "can't we all just get along" attitude of the base game, but it always bothered me that the factions don't expand and never really seem to "do anything".
from an RP (roleplaying) perspective, I like competition and rivalries, but not bombing the sh_t out of otherwise habitable core worlds just because someone "needs more" empire. I happily wipe out pirate core worlds but I see humanity itself at risk and can't see the logic in conflict when detrimental to the whole.

basically what I am asking is if there's a way in setting or as some configuration or change that allows players to have all the 4x but without starting worlds of NPC factions (vanilla and modded) being lost or destroyed - except pirates

[on that note, I'd also like to see a way in which factions can eliminate pollution and side effects from past conflicts to be sci-fi'd-away with some tech over a certain amount of time. just for RP reasons. but that part isn't something Nexerelin is focusing on. but if someone knows a mod that does that or can do that, tell me ]

If you have LunaLib, it's "Fleets and battles" -> "Allow invasion of markets existing at start" in the ingame menu; else change allowInvadeStartingMarkets in Nexerelin/exerelin_config.json.

For the other thing, Terraforming and Station Construction might be up your alley.

Hi, after killing some invasion fleets at their spawn point, my game autosaved after wiping out the last fleet, and now I have the following crash to desktop a few seconds after it's finished loading every time:

The game is fairly heavily modified but if this is actually a Nex issue, any ideas for workarounds to rescue the save would be appreciated.
