Hey, just wanted to say, I tried out a game with this mod over the last couple of days and it works great! I was really impressed with how well the additions integrate seamlessly into the regular game.



As far as whether or not Plasma planets / Endless Library is at a good balance compared to Auriga, I was only playing on Normal and using a custom faction that generally wins pretty handily no matter how the game works out. I didn't have any Plasma/Paradise planets in my starting wing, but the Sophons next to me had one with Stellar Borer on it which negates the approval penalty even before I fully build out the wonder, heh! I won pretty handily but I figured I would build everything out just to see what their end stats are like. By the end of the game, Plasma planets are hands down the best Dust producers, comparable to Auriga for Science production (actually probably slightly better since they were Small and Medium planets and Auriga was on a Large Barren), but a lack of food production means that Permanent Perrenials + Adaptive Industrial Systems will eventually allow major food producers to catch up (the one Paradise planet in the game looks like it will have the highest Industry value for that reason) on Industry. That's not until end-game though, in mid-game Plasma planets are definitely worth starting wars over, heh.



I only saw one Endless Mine and no Endless Libraries, and the Endless Mine is on a Terran planet so I'd have to terraform it into something a little more productive to see what the numbers are like there. Given that the unlock for it is at the bottom of the tech tree on the same tech as the wonder victory improvement though, I'd imagine it can't be too bad in terms of gameplay balance. I guess I'll have to play a few more games to find out Thanks again to you and your contributing friends for an amazing job.

Sadly my last-ditch appeal for some modding improvements didn't go over, as Amplitude is simply to busy to focus on these issues now. But let's not forget how much Amplitude has done for us in the past!



On a brighter note, AGED will have a big update fairly soon, with lots of new awesomeness! Stay tuned!

Since the next AGED update won't be for a few days, here's a little something that will hopefully peak your intrest. Here is my personal concept art for one of AGED's new Unique Planets.

Enjoy!

really really nice and hard work!! any chance for support of the Alternativ Galaxy Generator ? would be nice if u could implement this feature as well

Very nice, will give it a go

P.S.

AGED will NOT be compatible with the Vaulters faction for the forseeable future, as i cannot play them. Unless someone wants to gift me the new game... Looking at you, AMPLITUDE!

I really enjoy this mod. Thanks for all the hard work.

And I still hope the new update of AGED will come soon

Hopefully sometime after christmas. I will be busy the next few days, of course.

This mod had me at "... Atrociously high energy states..." Though Sister Godwinson and I might not see eye to eye, I'd like to think we could have a civil chat - I also like to think this mod will extend into the forseeable future, as it is awesome. The diversity - and prettiness - of the new planets is a strong point, and the added anomalies and tech make early game colonization more interesting; I especially like high end and extremely negative anomalies that can be become more neutral, or even positive. The planet types reminded me of shades of other games I love - most noticeably Star Control II, which I'd never thought of showing up in Endless Space, oddly enough! - and, again, add more choice and consequence to the game.



I can't see playing without this, now that I know about it. Thank you very much for the hard work, and happy holidays!

Thank you for that. Enjoy the Christmas break, etc.

It seems compatible for now, I was just playing as Vaulters with AGED so everything seems to be fine

Need to try it again with the Vaulters. Steam holiday has suddenly added many new games to play at rock bottom prices. lol

Thx a lot for this mod and the hard work you have put into it. Even I haven't played it though, the overall idea is fantastic.



I have downloaded the mod, installed it and tried a multiplayer game with a friend of mine. It is not working. I guess it is because of the version. The mod in its current version is compatible with Disharmony v1.1.27 while the game at the moment is Disharmony v1.1.39. My friend is not able to connect, because it keeps on telling him the mod is not installed on his side (which is obviously not true). Anyone else experiencing this? Am I correct with the assumption it is about the different versions?

I'd guess that your friend doesn't have the mod installed correctly. It needs to be in his My Documents/Endless Space/Disharmony/Modding folder.

That's not the case. We can both select it and start ES together with the mod (both same version numbers on the main screen). It fails when it tries to connect to the server.

Friend by chance using Win8?

Nope, also not the case. Both are using Win7. We will try a game cache verification and see if it helps.

If you can't find anything specific

Whatever this means ;-)

I'd suggest posting in the tech support section as there might be a better answer from there. That and we don't keep derailing this thread.

Yeah, might do it, I've just thought it might be related to the mod, that's why I have posted it here.

So any hope for a new release soon? I am eagerly waiting, since it promised new goodies



Just want to give a big YAAAAAAY!! for this mod for my first post

Hope you had good holidays, whichever you celebrate, Logicsequence.



Looking forward to the next update. Hope its going along well.

i hope it gets updated to the current version of disharmony
