ENDLESS™ Space is a turn-based 4X strategy game, covering the space colonization age in the ENDLESS™ Universe. You control every aspect of your civilization as you strive for galactic dominion.
To do this go to Program(x86)/steam/steamapps/common/endlesspace/public/simulation using notepad++ open factiontrait and use the search option to find Cost="65". theis should bring up all the faction affinity names. Whatever your custom faction's affinity change it to whatever number you want.

Doesn't work with DLC "Disharmony".
If you have the DLC "Disharmony" THIS is for you. "Public_xp1" is the key.
Go to "Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Endless Space\Public_xp1\Simulation" and open "FactionTrait" with Notepad++. You then search for Cost="65" AND Cost="60" and change them to whatever you want (ex: Cost="99").
Armydude, thanks for your post! I've been wondering how to tinker with that very same thing. I don't know about going up to 500 with it [-chuckle-], but I admit I've lost track of the number of times that just 10-15 more points would have made some juicy synergies possible in my custom races' traits. The same sort of modding can also make for some extra-fearsome opponents as well...

Thank you for the fix hatchetman208. I haven't gotten Disharmony yet to test to see if the mod works with the expansion. I will add this to the description.

Can you please help? I can't find Cost="60", and when I just change the 65, the traits don't show up at all. Thanks. I'm using a Mac, with the Imperium Aeterna Mod installed.
From line 562 in FactionTrait.xml, you will find this block:
[CODE]
[/CODE]
You can also do a search for Name="Affinity to bring up all the entries for each faction.
Change Cost="65" to something else.
Screenshot of this in action with Imperium Aeterna active, below:
Ensure you don't save the file in another format, Notepad++ is highly recommended. (Don't use Wordpad or the Notepad which comes with Windows - nor any other editing tool which can mess with the encoding of the file.)
Last but not least:
In an ideal world you would mod this into Imperium Aeterna instead of editing the game files directly.
To do this, copy FactionTrait.xml into the /Simulation folder of ImperiumAeterna - then edit it according to your wishes.
After that, edit the index.xml inside the ImperiumAeterna folder.
