Re: Excruciating FOCS doubts

First and foremost, thanks Ophiucus for maintaining the snap packaging. I'm returning to the game and trying to get so custom scripting running here on my side, but, as pointed by the OP, it doesn't seem to be working with snap FO. In-game options says my resources folder should be "~/snap/free...

Re: A couple of questions

The ship (Ship #2) currently being built will not have the modified design as it was in production at the time of the modification. But will Ship #3, the next to be built after the modification was saved have the revised design? Or do I need to add a new production order for another batch of ships?...

Re: suggeston: sensible planet evaluations

Those evaluations are given for the species which originally built the outpost or colony ship.

If you right click on a planet, though, you'll get an option to see a Planet Survey, a Pedia dynamic entry which shows an evaluation for all your colonizer species.

Re: Help with custom species?

You have also to provide the appropriate colony building at /freeorion/default/scripting/buildings/colonies - either by creating one or by editing col_bld_gen.py and running it.

Re: I'm here - introduction

Here's another quickie that I can't seem to find out: Is there some sort of bonus to owning all planets/asteroids in a system (except for the additional shields and defences it generates - which is a good bonus in itself )? If you happen to have an Asteroids field there (with an outpost and MG Indu...

Re: I'm here - introduction

A new feature is not necessary, I just thought this could add to both immersion and usefulness. That's why I suggested, and the devs greenlighted, moving such ideas to the GitHub issues area. That way, they can stay there for a (even if long) while until someone fancies implementing them. Those thi...

Re: Common micromanagement problems

Also, you can change the column headers on the Objects view (e.g. Industry output) and then order the planets by that value, allowing you to choose which planets are better to change focus.

Re: I'm here - introduction

- Sometimes, it's still useful to send outpost ships slightly out your supply range, as outposts will span some supply by themselves I didn't think that was true unless you have researched some of the Construction techs. AFAIK, without any tech, small outposts will project 1 supply, and tiny ones w...

Re: I'm here - introduction

In a less summarized fashion: - Sometimes, it's still useful to send outpost ships slightly out your supply range, as outposts will span some supply by themselves - thus connecting to your supply and allowing them to be colonized. - Some buildings can be built on outposts. - Outposts will grow (with...

They don't need the target system to be supply connected - as opposed to outpost colonies needing it.

Re: 0.4.6 roadmap

Even if we leave everything which hasn't already been incorporated/merged into master, there is already enough stuff in master that needs fine tuning, AI adjustments, balancing, testing to be able to make a release. But before we begin to consider what to include in 0.4.6 and what to leave for the ...

Re: 0.4.6 roadmap

What about going for both options, I mean, two releases?

0.4.6, this summer, with everything which is already on board - and it's a lot of changes since last September.

0.4.7, this winter (December-ish), with fighters, Drydock adjustments, AI tweaking, etc.
