Formula for finding The max population of a planet???

Submitted by Lord Kasdar on Sun, 2007-10-21 23:37. SE:V MODs

I was wondering if there is a way to determine the max population for a planet. What I am trying to do is make a race trait or societ that can have higher populations without just adding a number to the max. I want to add a %. I.E. race1 planet max pop is 150% higher. instead of how I am doing it now with race1 gets 2000 more max pop on planets.

Is this in the Data files, or in the AI script?

Ahh...

Its highly complex, as you have to tell the game to calculate it on the fly. There is no way to directly look it up.

As you are working with the data fils, it is even more complex, and the ability to look up the nessesary information might not even be available depending on the file you are working with.

It is probably impossible to set it up directly as a Racial Ability.

You might be able to include a new facility that requires a certain ability, and have that facility modify the max pop in the way you want. IF it works (and that is unlikely), you are in for some complicated iif statements.

Thats to bad it would have been nice if they had simply added an ability to mod the max pop by a % rather than by a real #

I agree.

Multiplying by a percent beats adding a flat number any day.
