Hi out there,

I'm relatively new to this game, but i was wondering, why making huge maps when you can't take full advantage of it due to the penalties of over colonisation. I get the point why including them, But i would like to expand them further.

I wa thinking of giving it a go to modifie the limits by editing the associated tecnologies and limits but i got lost and confused.

So my question is, did someone already work on it and if not could someone point me into the right direction?

Cheers

Any way you could push out a mod really quick for those of us that want to be able to play the larger galaxy types? I went to those 2 files you listed and it seems straightforward enough and I think I was able to modify the OverColonizationThreshold. It looks like the [Empire] file has an area where it adds a certain number of systems to the property depending on galaxy size. I just added 10-16 to each of these sizes. The problem is the rest of the stuff required to make the mod work is REALLY REALLY confusing. I cant for the life of me figure out how to make the main .xml file that loads everything right and sets the name for the mod and all that.

Thank you Dagart!  The starter pack just left me confused, but seeing how the main .xml is laid out and can be named with the mod you just posted has helped some.

I assume the reason we are supposed to use the data type "Amplitude.Unity.Simulation.SimulationDescriptor, Assembly-CSharp-firstpass" is that all "SimulationDescriptors[######]" files are part of this data type?

DataType="Amplitude.Unity.Simulation.SimulationDescriptor, Assembly-CSharp-firstpass" is used if you want to load a file that comes from:
- Public/Simulation/SimulationDescriptors.xml
- Public/Simulation/SimulationDescriptors[*].xml
- Public/Simulation/Battles/SimulationDescriptors[*].xml

When you want to use a file which comes from the Public folder, look in the Documentation/DataTypes.txt in my mod folder: you can see wich Datatype you need to call in your main .xml

Dagart for some reason your version of SimulationDescriptors[Empire] has a large number of minor changes that cause significant issues from the live version, the biggest being not actually tracking number of owned systems.

Any particular reason why?

Thanks Kareal! Indeed I used an old version of SimulationDescriptors[Empire] ... I have changed it and the now it tracks well the number of owned systems. The download link is updated: OverColonizationValue.zip

Question for you Dagart, been using your mod in my game and I've just ran into a bug where i'm unable to use to space port to ship pops from one system to another, you think it might be related to some change you made?
