Reply to 1.03.3 Ship designer shows ships from previous designes that can't yet be built. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It probably shouldn't. These designs go back to the bug (now fixed) where you could build a ship with old techs after you had shrinking tech and they would be available to build when you started a new game. I have been deleting those designs if they are not soon to be available. That is is the only way I know to deal with it. I haven't considered it a major bug and I doubt it will be addressed anytime soon.

Reply to [Mods] Mass Effect Races in GalCiv III Custom Races GalCiv3 Forums

The last patch seems to have broken your mod. They disappeared, and I have had no success reinstalling them. All the races that are in factions are working. I haven't heard whether anyone else has lost them. I am pretty sure it is not just me I have other mods that stopped working and I was able to fix them. BTW, great work and I hope I can get them back.

Reply to [BUG | Beta Opt-In 1.03 | SOLVED] Mods Stopped Working in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Yep the factions I lost were the Mass Effects factions that went to mods, and the Dr Whomiverse mod. I tried to reinstall and no luck. This did seem like a weird patch. I gathered from the stream today that both Brad and Paul are working on the game and it sounded like they may each be doing things without telling each other. Very odd that the faction mods no longer work. I had some difficulty getting my own to work again. I had to edit the steam game files and copy and paste

Sensors in 1.03 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

LOL, the sensor boat haters are happy campers tonight I'll bet. The new navigational sensor has a range of 1. I wonder how Brad feels about that since he had come out in favor of the sensor boats on several occasions. There seems to be multiple camps within the SD devs, just like there are here. No matter to me, I have already modded them back up to where they were.

[quote who="Captain Patch" reply="2" id="3560322"] I refrain from making changes that require me to reinstall ALL of my programs. [/quote] Yes that is a pain in the ass. That is why I always have 2 systems online. The old one with certain programs that I want to keep but don't want to go through the agony of moving them. The new one with the stuff I bought it to run and a few programs that I use so frequently it is worth it to reinstall them. Eventually I get around to

Reply to On Larger Maps, I Have 100+ Colonies by Turn 40 With an Average Population of 3 on Godlike. Game Too Easy. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="naselus" reply="25" id="3560179"] Let's quit judging some settings to be 'silly' or 'not important' because they're not an exact match for our own preferences. [/quote] I am not making a declaration naselus, I am voicing an opinion. I was fully aware that some, maybe a lot would disagree. I also expect that some will think the way I play is silly, or worse. More opinion: Your car has 120 mph or more on the speedometer

Reply to On Larger Maps, I Have 100+ Colonies by Turn 40 With an Average Population of 3 on Godlike. Game Too Easy. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The game is easy on normal and that is fine by me. I only play on normal because as dumb as the AI may be, it is basically playing by the rules. I have no interest in attempting to beat an AI that is getting huge cheats and bonuses. I have played on higher levels and won but it was work and not fun. I enjoy playing as a casual distraction and the building aspect of the game. I am not looking for some kind of intense challenge. I want it to be easy and I want to win every time. On big

Reply to Economic Bonuses and Credits are Worthless in Gal Civ III in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="naselus" reply="25" id="3559028"] I should not be able to become the financial capital of the universe when 90% of my planets have no financial buildings. You can't lead the universe in research without making 50%+ research worlds; you can't be a manufacturing colossus without making most of your planets industrial. So why can you have as much money as you could ever need from just one or two worlds? [/quote] Why not? How many financial centers are on Ear

Windows 10 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I was reminded today by Mother Microsoft that the Windows 10 upgrade is imminent. I am fairly confident that it will not impact GCIII, but I would like to hear some confirmation on that. I am also running Stardock's Fences and Start8. I suppose Start8 will be history with the upgrade but will Fences need a patch or anything?

Reply to Ship Designer Questions in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

As you know the template is saved without weapons or any other cost related improvement. When you save a ship that you have outfitted all that is removed. You will have to choose the template and replace all of the weapons and improvements. When you are done you save the ship with the template choice unchecked. The Template and any ships you design carry over to in any future games, when you play that faction
