I am working on some kind of de-Sandbox System Improvement that reverts the changes done by the Sandbox Trait on a single System or some kind of that.

But first i need to fix the current release, i hope i will get it ready on wednesday. But i have a lot of other work to do in the moment

Im saying that. the colony problem is because of the population growth isn´t as fast as the economy (read FIDS) growth, so the overall pace is limited. maybe you should add some sort of population growth bonus too. to balance this. D:

Great solution, but i came up with another problem, i´ve been playing either with the Automatons or with the Pilgrims so i didn´t noticed it yet. The actual system is incredibly disvantageous to Sophons, you see, their affinity is basically the Tax percentage is inversely proportional to the research bonus. like that: IF you set 0% of taxes you receive a 50% of bonus, if you put 100% taxes you receive 50% o research malus. So, every time i try to to put 100% taxes to get some huge amounts of dust in early game, my Science advancement is too slow, and i can´t use dust to speed up the research. You see the problem?

Another thing, i tried to see how the mod works out with another mods but it would be nice to have a list of incompatible mods. So far i tested only with Igncom1's Totally unbalanced mod and worked fine so far.

Hmm, downloading the attachment doesn't work for me.. I'm a new user, could there be some restriction for me? Couldn't find anything about it in the FAQs..

Could you possibly upload to mediafire or so? Thanks!

Edit:

I have tried adding a Colonizing Module, creating a Ship and colonizing another Planet. It worked without Problems.

Make sure you have a clean Installation of ES

I get this problem too. D:

I'll keep an eye out for bugs or things that could improve

This can also be very useful to do some game research (Best planet type, ..)

Sophon affinity gives you 50% of Science bonus when taxes are 0%.

I was wrong, aprtly, but still, when i put the tax rate at 100% the Sophon bonus is essentially useless. D:

I was confusing things. sorry.

No Problem, as long as the costs stay Zero i'm happy

Won't the AI also benefit from all those changes and thus make it not so super-easy afterall?

Now you got me, the problem is, the Sophon are a purely scientific race, so, when yu take the research challenge out of the game, they are useless. Maybe change the very Sophon lore, something like engineering genius with bonus on Industry and Food instead of science, something like that.

Well, of course, if you want to have another sophon affinity bonus, write it here, let's see who has the best one.
