Updated manual/documentation for 2.2?
« on: May 03, 2018, 07:04:53 PM »
First, let me just say how happy I am that 2.2 is finally here. :)

That said, the manual included with the download is still for 2.1. A LOT has changed since then and there are a ton of little things that as far as I know the game itself doesn't tell you so it would be nice if these things were documented somewhere. Things like which planets have more slots for space structures, which ones can build Golan IIIs, which ones are mining colonies, how much damage each weapon does against each ship type (that last point REALLY changed how I played 2.1 once I discovered how effective torpedoes were against capital shields).

Will an updated manual be made, or will this information be posted elsewhere such as the wiki?

Side note, I attempted to dive into the xml files to see which planets can build Golan IIIs, but there were only four planets listed under <Required_Planets> or something, and I could have sworn at least one planet not listed there could build a Golan III. If I want to try to find this information out myself in the files, where would I need to look?

Golan Threes can be built on any level three shipyard in addition to Coruscant, Muunilinst, Bastion, and Centares. There are two variants to make that work.

Another question, according to the files planets like Kashyyyk have <Special_Structures_Space> set to 5, which I come to mean the number of space structures such as Golans that can be built at the planet. However it seems I am only allowed to build 2 Golan IIs at the planet. I do notice that planets that previously had more space slots such as Coruscant do have values as high as 8, though I doubt that means 8 Golans at the planet (I recall in 2.2 it was 5 Golans for Coruscant). Anyone know what in the files determines the number of Golans or other space structures that can be built at a planet?

3 slots are used for back-end stuff for the unit filters
I also have a YouTube channel where I talk about mod development and gaming, do tutorials, and Let's Plays. If you like the content, consider supporting it on Patreon
