oh srry about galaxy forge i read that somewhere they say how to use ill check, also...

man that deadly secret, ruined my whole plan, it apeared on a blockade planet =C i only got to build some crystal extractors then boom! its gone i was like WTF!!!.
lol, you need to make a special line, cause i tried colonizing it again not noticing. lol, make it say like a deadly secret has killed the population on (planet name here). not the we lsot contact with a collony thing. and maby add an explosion, or a change in the atmos color to a blacker color, or red maby.

you sir are a very creative person. damn Xenomorphs killing the whole populace.

but... another idea, since vasari already have an toxic gases research thing make the line for it add toxic planets, and make then count as volcanic planets.

i have some feed back... make urban planets have double the usual pop growth, i think poeple will flock to their cities. also the urban planets are a bit too dark, make one that doesnt looks like an evil, military factory. reflective blue tinted metal, curvy lines, mbay a huge circle somewhere withe a huge glow coming out.

EDIT - also i read early and was un able to find galaxy forge data, and you had research probs. this is a simply thing to do, toxic and volcanic same resaearch. both have toxic gasses, oceanic and ice same research both deal with water, barren and something else maby indy (i think giant indy planets would be just as inhospitable =D).

downloading the 1.3 and ill have feed back on that ASAP, I might be able ot get you a mesh for that ring planet, seeing as my modeling thing has a preset ring shape =D, then i jsut ogtta color it >.< is it ok if its just a grey ring with some lines and then some green spray paint for the inner side. lol

well you were right ytou forgot to include the thing to make map editor use the planets =D

EDIT- acualy the game fails to randomly generate them, and it canht play maps with them already in it, i hvae a fealing though that my comp is being a dumb ass for its acting liek nothings changed. the main menu doesnt have a sin plus 1-3 thing liek 1-2 did, if there was one so something went wrong i think.

EDIT2- i extracted it into one folder so the mod is in the folder i made srry...

you fucked up the lodding screen lol, but i like its randomness its funny to see the decpitated guy on a power core, or maby only some feet coming out of the top lol!

EDIT- you sir are a genius with the storm and calm season, you should do this on everyplanet but do other stuff, urban has econic boom and econmic drop. the relic thing is awesome. good things those neutral ships arnt killable or youd have an expliot there, free exp.

nother idea... colonizable worm holes >.> put it with the gas giant colonization thing though for anti grav.

alsao what do i use to make custome planet textures.

EDIT- also it doesnt make sence for there to be more heavy ships then at a pirate base >.< having to throw wave aft6er bleepen wave to do some dmg ot the damned heavy cruisers.

@uzii

I can see any the ship graveyards can unbalance the game as there are so many ships there that you can take over quickly. May i suggest u include a large pirate presence (after all in many games, pirates or scavengers like to hide in these places) so u must at least have a significant fleet(maybe one mothership and like 10 frigates?) before you can take over those ships?

they dont make the game unbalanced because they get eaten up to easy >.>

Ok, here we go:
This will answer the Graveyard imbalance:
I will remove 1.3 and add a new research at level 5 so you cannot instantly capture the Derelicts. This should stop the imbalance and give everyone a breather before you suck them up. I will also increase the Cooldown and Antimatter cost of the ability.

Now, to the responses:
@ Auggie12
They are included in both.
No pirate ships. If pirates had found this area, they would have cleaned it out long ago.

@ Everyone with the loading screen problem/[b]
Please post your resolution along with what picture the loading screen has, and also the character on the left side of the screen (TEC, Vasari, or Advent). This should help me find the error.

[b]@ bandw2
Seven posts man, that was extremely unnecessary, please use the edit button. You have done this in a number of threads now and makes reading it a real pain. Edit and number each point, that will make it easier to respond to. Ok;
1. View the mod files to see the code names, and if you can't figure that out, post back and I will list them. The Urban planet can be a Homeworld, as I have had it before. You must edit the map directly.
2. The backstory of the game explains why Urban planets, and ALL the Vanilla planets have colonies on them. You are just setting up a base there, there is a populace already, hence the lights on the dark sides; civilisation.
3. Toxic is toxic to everyone. You can expand with the Improved Tunneling research.
4. The deadly secret is visible if you have landed and been kicked off. It cannot be made to change the planet texture, nothing can.
5. The Urban will stay the same, but may get a small population growth rate increase.
6. I would very much like a ring model, and a simple texture just to show which side is where would be excellent.
7. I use Photoshop CS2 for my textures.

Thank you all very much for the feedback, I have now removed the 1.3 link from the First Post and will now include a level 5 research for the Capture ability.

I think I have noticed to small things that you might have forgotten, as you mentioned in your post.
First there is the Relic Planets, there are 2 explenationary buttons for it's "Ancient Planetary Shield".
Second the 1 Urban planet had the "Super Dense Core"(+66% gravity well radius) + "Molten Dense Core"(+33% gravity well radius) bonuses, but seems to only have a 33% larger size than other gravity wells. >.^!

I assume this is due to the fact that it has two separate buffs, just like the Paradise planet. However, the process might be streamlined by using an ability that calls a buff of "raise planetary shields" with a onDelay timer, then references another buff with an instantactiontrigger of when the previous buff ends for "lower planetary shields", which calls another one raising the shield which loops back to the second (the first would just be to start the process in motion). This would also work for the paradise planet's seasons ability, though perhaps this has been tried already and rejected for not working somehow.

Carbon, thats spot on. I did try to get into one ability, but Passive abilities don't seem to like being activated once, then disabled with one 'ability'. I spent 2 days on figuring out how to do it, and finally got it down to this. It works, and I know it doesn't look at pretty as one ability, it does the job I wanted. Oh, and they aren't really buttons Lutje, more like icons to let you know whats going on

I still need to hear from anyone who has experienced the loading screen bug, thank you.

Edit: Also, I forgot to remove the Strom effect from the Paradise world, and will remove it for 1.3a. It was only meant for the Swamp planet. If however, people prefer it on the Paradise world too, please let me know.

So you got neutral ships capturable?

and this question may sound rather stupid, but where is the download link, I see "please wait"

Well.... does that need an explanation?

@chemix12
I think his fixing up 1.3 because of the ship graveyards.

@uzii
Thank you for listening and 1.3 is great!

I think im having trouble merging your 1.3 with my current modding project, do you have a list anywhere of new files (like planets, buffs, abilities, etc) just so i dont miss anything and have the game crash on me?

Not, it would be too long and the chances of me missing a file are high. I strongly recommend you use mine as the base and put other people's on top of it.

Oh, and I saw something a little silly today: my Paradise planet was diseased! I can see how that might work alright, but it seemed a little silly for a "perfect holiday destination" to have such a condition.

Noted and changed. Thanks.

Hello, it seems the link for 1.3 is broken or maybe you just havent put it up yet i dunno just wanted to let you know cause i want to get the new planets As always keep up the awesome work guys!

Now updated to v1.3a

Strange. You need research to capture a ship that you already have the technology for.

In the first post, at the top, it says there is 66 new planetary bonuses, while further down it says 56. How many are there?

@ IsotheWise
There just no pleasing some people. Read the end of the last page and beginning of this one. It is for balance, otherwise you could have a fleet in minutes of starting.

@ ElevenKGB
1. Does it matter?
2. Check it now. (66)

diseases on a perfect holiday destination makes some sense tho uzii... people comin from all over the place meeting other people thathave no ... O.o immunities, to the diseases other poeple have had and are imune to, yet carry with them (as in reality, you visit another countyr, you stay for two weeks, you go home, you are sick)

Yes, thats a good point. But its done now
