Infinite Resources

Submitted by Saga286 on Sun, 2008-05-04 11:44. Space Empires V FAQs

Hi, I just started playing this game and saw how great it is. One of things I do have a problem with though is the way infinite resources work. Right now, when the game is set on infinite resources, each planet has infinite resources on it but you only get a percentage depending on how many resource facilities you have on the planet.

The thing is, you get a crap load of resources from placing just one resource facility on the planet. Because of that I never run out of resources. I always need to get facilities that allow me to stockpile more resources. I think the amount of resources the facilities give you should be lessened greatly.

I know that you can use finite resources, but I have read that the AI does quite work correctly if you use that. Has that been fixed in 1.71? If it has, then I will definitely try that.

I should also mention that I use Balance Mod so I am not sure if that is what is effecting the resources. I have heard that there are unnamed mods that can get the AI to work with finite resources properly. Will I be able to merge those and Balance Mod together? What is the best unnamed mod to use for the AI?

There are no current mods that give the AI enough ability to work with finite resources.

I'm not sure, but I think there is only one Unnamed Mod. ("unnamed" is the login name of the mod's creator.)

Well damn, that sucks. Hopefully they will fix that.

I have 2 more questions. When you are setting up the game and you select to have random AI players, I notice that below that, there is another option to randomize neutral players as well. Is that the same function as minor races or is does that make it so that some of the AI will be neutral to you from the beginning and wont attack you upon contact with them for the first time.

Also, when installing shields on a ship, do all weapons have the same effect on them, or do energy weapons do more or less damage to them because they are shields. I know that some other games have something like that, where energy weapons will do more or less damage to shields than kinetic weaponry.

Miners give you too many resources?? I never thought I'd hear those words uttered by anyone. Laughing out loud You just need to build more space yards! You can always mod down the production values in Data\Facilities.txt if its a problem though..
