[quote who="erischild" reply="9" id="3603017"] The rate of atmosphere loss is something like 100 grams per year. A goodly sized compressed air tank could take care of years worth of depridation. Any actual atmosphere production capability could easily account for the loss, on the principle that a leaky bucket still fills up if you keep pouring water in. [/quote] Its roughly 100 grams per second , not year. That works out to appr

What did you do to get it to work, as I can't seem to get it to do anything, either :( When I first installed and enabled the mod, GC3 wouldn't start and gave an error about an invalid character in a file in the MACOS folder. I presume the PC didn't need the folder anyway, so I moved the folder out. I can't seem to find the tech to build the repeatable upgrade.

Church/Religion was integral to England and that was one of the driving factors to separate. The Founding Fathers were adamant about keeping church and state separate. Church does not belong in any institution, and freedom of religion should not be interpreted to immunity for churches against paying taxes or conspiracy to aid and abet child molesters. Christian shariah is no better than Islamic shariah. There should be no place for it here. We fought a very lon

[1.10] Shipyards can have more than 5 sponsors in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

This happened when I skipped over some smaller planets for colonization near the shipyard, then started to colonize them -- I colonized one of them and it auto-added to the shipyard sponsors even though I already have 5 sponsors on the shipyard, giving the shipyard 6 sponsors.

More dynamic AI ... by this I mean consider its position and needs more. Right now, for instance, if the AI has a surplus of 100 Duranium, it seems to still slobber and drool if you offer it 100 more in a trade even though its not using the surplus it has ... and doesn't seem to value it any more when it has -10 Duranium (and I often see the AI with negative amounts of resources).

I do understand what you are asking, and have the same problem -- the interface for game setup is not clear as to whether habitable vs. extreme planet frequency are relative to each other, or to something else.

Reply to Hyperion Logistics; The story so far.... in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The description is somewhat confusing because it says ships built on the planet , but ships are built at shipyards, not on planets. There are a lot of descriptions for things that are utterly useless or wrong, however, and in a couple cases are actually the reverse of the actual effects.

[quote who="Captain Patch" reply="3" id="3564593"] I think that trait can only be used ONCE. That planets and space stations within your territory at the time the trait is acquired will flip. That's the only way I can explain having the trait, but planets and stations that later get drowned in my cultural expansion do NOT flip. [/quote] Yes, but you can time it just right.

[quote who="Thecw" reply="58" id="3564498"] Do not try to make ships go below a 2 logistics cost, because then when the Hyperion Logistics system becomes active you will get nasty crashes and hangs. This is probably the reason SD has made the HLS no longer stack-able, because if there would be a ship with logistics cost of zero then the calculation of how many ships you can fit in a fleet will result in a divide by zero.

An Ascension Gate is not an upgrade to any previous improvement, its a building of its own. You just find a spot (you'll probably want a high-production world) and build it.

Reply to Carrier Balance Idea in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

Simply fixing tactical combat might help. For some reason, no matter what, carriers never seem to get targetted until after their fighters are destroyed. If this were not the case, if Carriers were made a higher priority target than fighters for, say, Assault ships, that might help -- the tactical battle would probably still be lost (I imagine the fighters will still hang around after their carriers are destroyed in the fight) but with the carrier gone, the fighters would not be a

I have exactly what we need: yet another lame idea to give carriers somewhat of a nerf. :P Instead of any of the above ideas, how about this? Fighter Pools Instead having fighters be completely "free" and unlimited, how about a "pool" that has to be maintained? Fighters are added to the pool by being built from a shipyard and/or planet. Fighters are removed from the pool when they replenish a carrier's d

Its stacked. I photoshopped in a mouseover of ship maintenance showing all effects. I picked a tree for my custom race that includes "Living Ships" precursor tech that claims to make all ship maintenance 'free' -- but of course by 'free' they mean they reduce it 100%. This is, I think, the reason it goes below zero -- because even small maintenance discounts such as the regular ones you get from enhancement techs (which I didn't choose to research myself,
