Balance Mod Question |
I have been using the mod since the start. I am currently using 1.01. When I design a medium transport ship it is size 2 with a maximum tonnage of 650. Previous versions of the mod used to let me go to 700. I have maxed out medium hull and medium heavy hull research. It may not sound a lot but I used to design a medium spaceyard vessel around the 700 hull size.
Goof with VehicleSizes.txt
I found the problem. Medium Hull construction should have just 3 levels as it does now. All the other levels are correct. The problem was with the Medium Freighter tech requirements in VehicleSizes.txt - it should give a level with each level of medium hull construction rather than every other one. It looks like I forgot Medium Freighters were associated with the 3 levels of Light Cruiser hulls and not the 6 levels of Cruiser hulls, which was the source of the error

Another balance mod (any-mod) question
I wanna start future games in balance mod for many obvious reasons, but I still wanna keep playing my ongoing play-by-email multiplayer game which is in the stock version.
so...
Can I run both a stock version and various mod versions on the same installation of SEV without conflict?
Yep
You can run as many mods as you like.
Mod Launching
Mods are installed to the gametype directory and can be chosen when starting a new game. A saved game will remember which gametype was used with it automatically.

Additional tech levels
There are now 6 levels for Medium Hull Construction - you'll need to go to level 5 to get the 700kT Medium Freighter.
