[1.7.1] [MOD] Colonization Kludge - A kludgy pseudo fix for the current Colonization Bug in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

In 1.7, Colonization events have stopped occurring for many people after they have colonized 30+ worlds. Stardock is aware of the bug, but the fix for it either didn't make it into 1.7.1 or it hasn't fully been fixed yet. But until Stardock releases the fix, some players are still reporting that they are limited to 30 non-precursor world events. This mod sorta kinda fixes this bug in a very kludgy way. After playing the brand new mod by Horemvore&n

Just did a cheater run through (cheated up 40+ colony ships and speed techs and let them fly into the night) and everything looks great! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Aside from the issues already mentioned, natch. Haven't done a full test to see if everything does what it claims to do, but that can be for the future. One nice side benefit to this mod is that is staves off the dreaded "colonization bug" that is plaguing the current builds of GC III for 12 m

Looking good. Have had a chance to test it yet, but wanted to let you know that you probably want to have the mod display "Morale" instead of "Moral" for the Sentient Forest event ;) EDITED: Found a minor error in the Aurora Snows event. The flavor text for the Malevolent choice is simply a copy of the Malevolent choice for the Pods event in the base game. Though you would want to know. :)

Keys for the expansion and the base game were given out. As for whether or not SD is going to give them out again, that&#39

Reply to 1.71 Patch (Released 5/17) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

FWIW, I decided to test Larsenex's theory of "no precursor anomalies" by starting a new game, cheating up 30+ colony ships (with cheated up population) and then sending into the wild blue yonder. Did absolutely nothing else except cheat up a couple of techs for speed and cargo space as well as turning off the fog of war. Didn't survey anything. Didn't choose any ideology traits. Just built some buildings on Earth and made all other planets either Economic

Thanks for the great stream, Stardock.

[1.7.1 opt-in] Shipyards still taking Military Production even when "idled". in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Been mucking about with the latest opt-in patch for 1.7.1 and I noticed something odd. I hadn't been building much with most of my shipyards, as I was in-between starbase upgrades and had no need for any other ship building. But I got to the stage of the game where I wanted to build some ships so I could erect a sensor net in my territory and I saw that most of my shipyards had an immense amount of production accumulated. There was pretty much no way some of them should

[quote who="infitio" reply="1" id="3635480"] Agreed, I would love to see this fixed in the next patch. [/quote] After testing, this looks to have been fixed for opt-in 1.7.1. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] It might be because they got rid of idling shipyards as the field that used to say "Auto Idle" now says "Do not notify when queue is empty".

What [b]I[/b] really appreciate is being able to stay in the "trade window" from faction to faction when I have made a deal with the first faction without having to go back to the main "talk window" for the next one. Not that big of a deal with games with few factions. But it is a godsend for those 100 faction games. Doubleplusgood Stardock! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

As of the opt-in, the Generic Tech Tree is still called the "Terran Tech Tree" in the Custom Faction Creation Screen. This is because of the TechDefsText.xml file in the Data/English/Text directory says this: GenericTechTree_Name Terran Tech Tree GenericTechT

Doing some more poking about, Gauntlet . In my game, the custom names of the planets of your custom star systems aren't showing up. Instead they are things like Tiamat's Promise II and Tiamat's Promise III. Doesn't appear to be any of my fiddling around with things at play, as I restored the StarSystemDefs.xml file to the state you had it in your mod. I'll do some more checking on my end though, in case it was something I did on my end

Finally had some free time to start poking about with 4.0. Awesome as always. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I know that you're planning on making this a full replace mod eventually, but I have a highly idosyncratic setup myself, so I've been picking and choosing want I want for my home games. In doing that I think I might have made an interesting discovery that might or might not already be known. In your mod, you have a full replace for StarSystemsDefs

Idled Shipyards and Auto Upgrading Starbases problem in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Finally had the chance to really put the new starbase system to a test on on the whole it's a massive improvement. There are a couple of cosmetic changes that would be nice (being able to cycle through starbases from the Sponsor screen being the most urgent), but on the whole it's very welcome news. There is one thing about the new system that irks, however. One of the new innovations of 1.7 is being able to "auto idle" shipyards. Grea
