When you select the Racial Trait: Advanced Storage Techniques it has the following description:
Planets can store +25% of normal cargo capacity
Planets can store +10% of normal facility capacity

But it also increases all ships cargo capacity by +25%. I don’t know if this is a bug or if it is the description that is wrong.

If it isn’t a bug then there is a bug in the space simulator. If you have a ship with x cargo space with the Racial Trait: Advanced Storage Techniques, then the ship storage will be x+25% but the bonus doesn’t apply in the space simulator.

I'm about to get into moding the armor components, and I'm curious exactly how does the armor system work?

1 a) If I add a new component say: nanite infused armor with the ability to repair its self (ala organic armor) and I put one component of it on my ship will it repair ALL the armor I put on there or just that one piece?

1 b) If not, is it possible to get a component to layer over all? For example I want to add chummle armor that reduces the effects of missle weapons and I want it to act as an addon to the armor components present, can this be coded?

2 I've added external ordinance missles to my components, to limit the number one can use I made the placeable only in the armor slot, are there any special considerations I have to take into account?

The game is currently moddable, but I think it could be more moddable.

This is how:

1. Another VehicleUnitTypes.txt file only it is VehicleShipTypes.txt. This would contain the ship/Base things and all other vehicles built at a space yard.

Reason: This would allow a whole other dimension to how mods work. Things like "Warp Technology" allowing construction of ships that can travel through warp points etc.

2. More Formulas/requirements. This would be in files like homeworld starting facilities allowing modders to make racial traits or starting techs to affect the setup of the starting facilities.
