Hi, 


Is there some way to 'browse' what is moddable? Like seeing the XML values which is editable. What folder(s) should I look in, in the install folder? I had a look around, but I only found some limited stuff leading me to believe I was on the wrong track. 


Hope a kind soul will help a modder who wants to migrate to ES2 :-)

Look in the ES2 public folder! It's in the game directory. Another place to look is the ES2 steam workshop folder at downloaded mods.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately that is was I already did. I took another, deeper look and it seems the correct answer would be \Endless Space 2\Public\Simulation. This folder contains tons of files and peaking in a few of them it seems to be here the "magic" happens. Is that correctly understood, or is there somewhere else in the public folder which is relevant?


Just peaking through the files looking for (what I assumed to be) simple things like how to edit a population bonus (changing +1 influence on imperials to +2) took a very long time to track down through different references and such. Is there no way to get a bit of an overview of these things (dare I say documentation) other then digging through the files and following references?

Simulation is where a bulk of it is yes, but there are a few others that have some cool things in it. Mainly, Quests, Settings, Minor Factions, Ground Battle, Galaxy Generator, and Diplomacy.

Alright, thank you for the answers. I guess I will have to dig through all the references and learn stuff the old fashion way.
