Not related to the quoted post, but anyway: There's nothing in normal gameplay the player can do to specifically make faction X send a colony expedition to planet Y.

There's a console runcode you can use (copypaste into console while in an interaction dialog with the target planet, replacing "jangala" with the ID of the desired source market for the expedition)

Spoiler

Code: java

runcode exerelin.campaign.intel.colony.ColonyExpeditionIntel.debug("jangala")

[close]

other than that, best way is to colonize it yourself and transfer to whichever faction you want to have it.

   Hello, Can you add an option to turn off the decivilization (or at least for the starting markets)? The colonies of Pirate are very fragile especially in some systems which are strongly controlled by other factions such as Corvus. I am not sure whether blockade events also deteriorate this condition.  Pirate seems to be unable to send relief fleets to save these planets as well.
   In my new game the pirate planet in Corvus decivilized twice when I was only level 8. I try to colonize the planet and give the planet back to the pirate, the planet decivilized again in a short period of time .

for some reason the forums won't let me post the crash log so imma put it as an attached file

using 0.11.1b, I know I should update but for save compatibility sake I havent yet, gonna do so when starting a new one

happened when I clicked on the colony expedition tab and there was around 350 fleets going out, done it plenty of times in the past without any hiccup so no idea why this time around it crashed

Seconding that Garnir has a strange tendency to deciv. Maybe readding the accessiblity boost to core world pirates?

[crash7ds]

So are the only starting backgrounds "unknown" and the heavily in debt one?

Salvation needs a rework. Because it's replayable, I can basically use it to nuke the Luddic Church off the map without having to directly sat bomb them

[Histidine]

Would make sense for that quest to be non-repeatable (moreso than the others, which are left repeatable for convenience if the player messes up), I'll do that when I'm working on Nex again.
Might figure out what (if anything) pirates should get to avoid decivs as well.

By default yes; Random Assortment of Things (RAT) mod adds a bunch more.

One of the events in that tab is presumably broken, but no idea which (and don't have a clue how to fix even if I did), sorry :|

Didn't pirates get an accessibility boost at point?

Any chance we could select more than one background?

Been wanting to select these and Haunted from Secret of the Frontier.

Yeah a flat 10%. I took it out after someone reported that it removed smuggling opportunities, though I forget if I did this before or after spaceport accessibility got increased to 60% (which got reverted in Starsector 0.97 when Hostile Activity was replaced with the Colony Crises system).

(I'm also not sure how much it'd help with places like Garnir decivilizing, is it really because they can't import food and supplies even from places like Qaras with the +5 in-faction bonus?)

Hmm Lukas's implementation was for only one background (and none with the Nex special starts).
I might look into letting custom starts opt into allowing a background as well, but multiple backgrounds will probably require a significant code revision. If someone submits a pull request I probably won't say no though

(For SotF's haunted events specifically, I think setting guilt with the SotF console command will do the same thing, although I don't remember the exact command)

Huh, I'll give it a try.  Thanks!

Been awhile since I used this mod. Does anyone have any idea how to get the Ai to leave the core worlds alone?

[Histidine]

There's a setting for NPC factions to only invade markets that didn't exist at the start of the game; can be accessed ingame with the LunaLib mod (press F2 in main menu/campaign, or use the top-left GUI button in menu), or if you don't have that, in Nexerelin/exerelin_config.json.

I found that when other factions and unions declare war on each other, Pirate's colonies are easy to be affected and alerted to be decivilizied soon almost at the same time. Maybe the accessibility of those Pirate's planets change because of other factions' wars? And I found that Pirate can be selected as the target of raiding and blockade, which can significantly reduce the import and stability of Pirate's planets. Some Pirate's planets may suffer raiding of two or more factions .

[Sts678]

Another interesting bug was found. I turn on the pirate invasion but turn off the invasion of starting planets. During the game I found that Pirate controlled Tibicena, which should be controlled by Tri-Tachyon as I turn off the invasion of starting planets. I am not sure whether Pirate invaded that planet and captured it.
