I totally missed the trade route trait.



Regarding headhunter traits, I've tried using headhunter before but the results have been mixed, it doesn't seem to actually guarantee a particular specialization. It may increase the chance of getting the spec but its not obvious to me how effective it is. I can tinker around a bit and see if there's any meaningful effect.

So... Any responses from dev team yet on other commands?

/#/endless-space/forum/37-modding/thread/16355-available-commands-for-modding-es



DiscoverGalaxy is the only one I didn't know about.



So I asked them if there was a way to do those things with the moon/temple/resource, haven't gotten back from them yet.

Hi all, I got tired of waiting for a new ES patch so I'm releasing the next update for AFTM (ver 1.1.18.0). It adds quite a lot of new traits, I hope you all enjoy.



Note that I'm changing the way I assign mod version numbers. It's still in sequential order (higher number is newer) but I'm going to increment the 3rd digit by 1 at a time instead of matching the stock version number. Compatibility for the latest version is now listed at the very top of the first post. Let me know if something turns out to not be compatible.

Thanks for the update.

cool stuff, downloaded and installed.



E: thanks for making this mod, well, modular -- was trivial to combine it with alternate galaxy generator, help the harmony and the stuff i've changed personally.

Love your Mod.



I've never modded anything before and I have no programming experience. I also like the SuperNova mod. I tried to merge them using the information provided here ( /#/endless-space/forum/37-modding/thread/16331-super-nova-disharmony ) but I had no success. The game started, but upon trying to create a race it gave a dialog box of errors. Something about character creation....



Has anyone ever gotten these two mods to work together?

What's the error?



Can you post the index file you're using for the merged mod?

I would also think it'd be cool if this mod and the Supernova mod were merged! Unfortunately I have no experience with modding whatsoever so I'd be completely lost if I tried..

There's an updated version of Supernova as of last night too, if you are so inclined as to try to merge them..

You guys really need to learn how to splice mods. It's really not that hard. I'm only going to do this for you once. I need to focus my time on Hectic Combat. Use the instructions/files here together with the mod tutorial to figure out how I modified the index file to perform the splice.



Step 1) Take all the files from AFTM and throw them into SuperNova directory in the equivalent places

Step 2) Take this index.zip file and extract the index.xml file inside into the SuperNova directory, over-ride the index.xml file in there.
Index.zip

Hi Antera, are you still modding? I'm looking forward to an update!

Ahh... I forgot about this... been working on Hectic Combat or just plain not working...



Got any requests for new traits?



Last I check the mod works with Auriga, the only thing I got left to implement are a few faction-specific traits.

It's the faction bits I'm interested in. FI(D?)S ships from the new patch from Harmony. Defence/science buildings and portal structures from the Vaulters (transport and disharmony removal possibly as separate traits). Dreadnaught CP reduction and inescapable combat from Sheredyn.



I'd love to say add Tiaxium's planet size mod as racial traits, maybe with the asteroids to barren terraform (from Imperium Aterna by Evil Tactition). I've already pooled some of their work with:-

/#/endless-space/forum/37-modding/thread/16197-endless-planets-rework-of-existing-mods

But that's reaching a bit far I guess as your busy with Hectic Combat. I guess I should do it myself, but I'm a little lazy and it's way easier to have an idea than to implement it. Maybe I'll get around to it sometime and made an addon for your mod.



Finally thank you for your work and your time.

v1.1.19 is out. I've combed through the existing factions, minus Vaulter, and have located all the traits that are both implementable and interesting. It appears the following faction specialties involve hard-code and cannot be brought out using only xml files:



Hissho bushido mechanics

Sheredyn anti-retreat net

Horatio cloning

Pilgrim evacuation ships



Note Sheredyn dreadnaught CP reduction is do-able but kind of a pain, its simpler to just use the trait that raise CP. I still need to look more closely at how vaulter works. But other than that this mod is pretty complete. Let me know if anyone have new trait ideas.

Thank you for the update. Some more ideas:-

They seem to be working better recently, one trait usually gives 2 of said trait with 2 traits giving one with both and one random of each. I'm guessing that they have coded for 3 traits requested.

v1.1.20.0 is up, which introduces gate mechanics as traits. I believe it will still work even if you don't have the Vaulter faction but I can't really check it. In any case, you can now try Portal Harmony and Portal Craver, or whatever crazy combination you come up with.



Gonna check into those headhunter traits next.

I've been loving 1.1.20.0 been playing with the fleet hull regeneration, have I misunderstood? It seems to be a bonus applied to existing regen not applied to each ship's max HP is that right?

I believe you're talking about "Regenerating Hull", there is a built-in HP regeneration rate of 5% per turn for all factions, the trait adds to that at low level; at high level, the trait also adds regeneration per combat phase (just like what a repair module gives), so you can end up with ships that incredibly hard to kill since they're healing in the middle of combat.



There's also Decaying Hull which actually takes away % health per turn. Decaying hull makes your ship kinda like zombie ships, so you have to either equip repair modules to fight the decay or use them quickly.
