Reply to No Culture Points Being Accumulated in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

The Mother hive produces 0.1 culture per month right from the start. This encourage you to move out and quickly get more core worlds so you can build more Mother hives. It may also be a good idea to get Sacred Tradition in the Traditonalism tree as a starter so you can build the Hall of Tradition as soon as possible and get +1 culture per month from it. Having said that, not all civilization are created equals. Some are harder to play then others and some are easier.

Reply to Editing the .dds image files in GalCiv IV Modding GalCiv4 Forums

Looking around on the internet, it looks like the free Paint.net is able to open and edit .dds file. I just tested it myself with one of the .dds files in the Gfx folder of GC4 and it opened it without any issues. So it should be very easy to mod by making your own custom .dds file, adding it into your mod Gfx folder and pointing to the name of your .dds image file within your mod.

Reply to Description of my mods in GalCiv IV Modding GalCiv4 Forums

Alien_exterminator hasn't shown up in a while. I tried to keep some of his mod up to date and functional in the mean time. You can find a similar mod of mine that allows you to exterminate citizen when you unlock the Purge culture trait. It can be found at https://www.galciv4.com/mods/manager inside my pack of mods: UP Bundle of Mods V1.7.02. You may also find Aliens old mods on that page. I do not know if they are still fu

Reply to Question / issue with removing Orbital Improvement in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="7" id="3933767"] If I recall correctly, one of the mods in Draver's bundle of mods provides upgrades (when you research the tech) that allow orbital mines of all types to match the output levels of core world mines. [/quote] You recalled correctly ;)

Reply to Research cap at 1 per turn in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="gypsy2299" reply="1" id="3933205"] You can refuse to build any research improvements. That I understand slows it some. Unfortunately, other than a mod or two, I believe Draver's mods have one, to slow the slow pace or increase cost not much you can do ATM. [/quote] Yup, UP_MBC_TechPacingSlider changes how the Slow and Very Slow options on the Tech Pacing Slider works: instead of applying the malus at the colony level it applies it at the fac

Reply to FlavorText.xml error on game startup in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

Yeah, the clue here is that the error comes from "...\My Games\GalCiv4\Factions..." Doing a verify file will not help here. Even reinstalling probably won't either. What happens if you just remove that file (_23300E1E9E76447F83936856068CE620_FlavorText.xml) entirely from that folder ? I'm thinking your game should be fine after that. Normally, there is a name of the custom faction before the _23300E.... but your file doesn't. So that's probably not helping either.

Reply to Mod Management & Integration in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

The way I've done it, I edited my mod entry, changed the title and replaced the file with the newer version. So you really only have one version of your mod available at a time, the last version you uploaded. No need to make a new entry for a new version, just edit the old one. As for the mod itself, you can create a Readme.html file along with it in the root folder. Won't help for the website itself, but it will show up in the launcher. As for Steam workshop support for gamep

Reply to Failed tech: Xeno Geology tech line is not available to Vigilant civs in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

Sounds, good. Let me know! I just tried without my mod that moves Environmental Engineering sooner in the tech tree and I could still see Xeno Geology in this Yor game. Just for fun, just start a new game with the Yor (or any synth race) and make sure they have vigilance. Check the tech tree on turn one under science and see if you see it after Environmental Engineering.

Reply to Failed tech: Xeno Geology tech line is not available to Vigilant civs in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

Yup, that's the one. I was not aware of the synthetic limitation that Gypsy just exposed. Let me take a look at it, I might have a way to fix that as well. Edit: well this is strange, using the Yor as template, if I change one of their trait to Vigilance, I do get the Xeno Geology line in my tech tree running my mod in the UP Bundle. So I'm not sure why you are not seeing it.

Reply to High End Missile Tech Weapons do not get Volley in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Indeed, this increases the value of exotic resources. There are also a lot of new ways to get the exotics you need from other mods in there. Removing those from the bazaar also helps with the AI not buying everything it wants and bypassing you on building those wonders ;) Note that you can still buy the basic resources from the bazaar so it doesn't completely disable it.

Reply to High End Missile Tech Weapons do not get Volley in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Yeah, it's a known issue. You can fix it in your next game by downloading the bundle of mods I maintain on https://www.galciv4.com/mods/manager . Look for UP Bundle of Mods and more specifically for BugFix_Illauna-VolleyFix. Using mods is very easy: 1. Simply put the folder of the mod you want to use into %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\Mods. 2. When launching the game, click the MODS button and make sure the
