Population based research? |
Does anyone know a way to make research population based WITHOUT changing resource production as well? I know, it is simple enough to change the population modifiers in settings.txt ... but I have slightly different ideas for research and resources and would like to make them follow different trends. Anyone already try this? Ideas?

Actually it was my first visit here today and only second in the last few days.
Only construction and production are distinguished by the modifiers. I don't recall if there is any formula function available for components.txt that allows you to incorporate population amounts right into the ability formula, but it's worth looking into.

about that... What about ship based techs? Couls you set it up so that a ship will generate RP based on the number of people on board it?
Re: Population based research?
I believe resource/research/intel generation abilities only work on ships if they are in orbit of a colony. Besides that, you can make components of that type dependent on the crew amount. For example, you might add a requirement for the component that it needs a vehicle with at least 500 crew before it can be added.

What about colonists in cargo holds?
Re: Population based research?
The data file formulas cannot return what a space object has in cargo.
Re: Population based research?
hmm... could it return the number of components of a certain type? Such as population storage?
Re: Population based research?
Unfortunately, they are tied in together when it comes to population modifiers.
