From zee first post:

Known Issues:

New planet type textures display faint "edges" where the cubic texture surfaces meet. This is a known graphical bug with all modded planet types in any mod, and will require a bug fix from AMPLITUDE to resolve.

I've let the devs know about this a few times, but I fear it's so minor a bug it won't be addressed soon.

So popular opinion poll:

Now that Auriga has been added, i beleive it should be the "end-all" max research planet in the game. This means several changes, which do you like best?

Remove the Endless Library mini-wonder added by AGED?

Reduce the effects of the Endless Library mini-wonder added in AGED by 50%? (planets with this wonder would produce only slightly less science than Auriga due to the Husk of Knowledge's population bonus)

Reduce the effects of the Endless Library mini-wonder added in AGED by 50% and add a planet-wide science % bonus to the Husk of Knowledge?

Keep Plasma planets the way they are (not tested yet, but i have feeling they could wildly outpace Auriga)

Reduce the amount of science on plasma planets?

Reduce the science bonus on the Zero-Point Energy Lab?

Reduce the amount of science on plasma planets and reduce the science bonus on the Zero-Point Energy Lab?

Go hog-wild crazy and add an insane bonus to the Husk of Knowledge that makes it better than Plasma Planets and the Endless Library?

Go hog-wild crazy and add an insane bonus to the Husk of Knowledge that makes it better than Plasma Planets and the Endless Library and add a game play option for slower research (*IF* i can) so research speeds aren't insanely fast?

Leave everything as it is?

Reduce the amount of science on plasma planets.

Those planets are slightly too good atm anyway imo.

Unfortunately I cannot answer your question, regarding the new balance ideas,

but I hope your are interested in the fact, that I have finally finished the german translation:

german.zip

Hopefully you like it and incorporate it into your mod. If there are any mistakes, I will try to eliminate them as soon as possible.

In case you indeed want to incorporate it, it would be nice, if you could adapt the font size for the terraforming technologies, because my translation doesn't fit 100% into the boxes at the current size.

You can see it here:

I agree with this statement and I would also reduce the Endless Library bonuses also.

Most excellent job with the MOD BTW!!!!!

I think quite a few of the AGED added items are a little bit too much. I mean, in the mid game, they aren't, but when things get going later on, they are absolutely insane due to the multiplication of increasingly large numbers.

Reduce the effects of the Endless Library mini-wonder added in AGED by 50%? - I vote for this, or even a bit more than a 50% reduction.

Reduce the amount of science on plasma planets and reduce the science bonus on the Zero-Point Energy Lab? - I vote for this as well, though I also feel the other FIDS parts of plasma might need to be adjusted downward too.

Whatever you do just don't increase any bonuses, as I said some seem to be a bit too high and tip things way too far too quickly.

No and i fail to see why you keep posting about other games in my mod thread. It's pretty far off-topic.

I was 40 turns into a game yesterday, and found this extraordinary circumstance lol

...the downside was I ended up with all Cravers in the galaxy

Regarding the poll: I'd say just leave it for now, I think it would be fun to fight to control all three science powerhouses.

just to let yous know we got it working both mods needed to be identicaly named so maybe in future versions have the mod in a folder in the archive file so that other dont have this problem as no where on the forums or ingame states that it needs to be

I've corrected a mistake in my translation and uploaded the corrected version.

Now the second form of the anomaly "Hyper Ecology" (08B) should also be translated.

Awesome! Making Urula a unique planet is a great idea...

NOOO!

The mod should be unzipped in C:\Users\***USER_ID***\Documents\Endless Space\Disharmony\Modding[/I] (assuming Windows Vista/7/8), where a directory named AGalaxyofEndlessDiversity should be created when unzipped. The files will be in there.

So i've heard back from the devs on some of the remaining issues. First off, i'd like to thank them, as always, for listening and responding.

Unfortunately, it looks as if some of the remaining issues (the edges on planet textures, for instance) are rooted too deeply in the game's code to warrant fixing; as doing so would cause more issues that would need to be addressed. I've responded and made a last plea on our behalf for what i thought was the most important remaining issue for the mod; however, i think we shouldn't get our hopes up.

Just wanted to let you all know.
