sytnik.aa: [...] Is it possible to finetune the number of turns that takes a leader to move to a location?
Oh, and the "leader_warlord_bonus" option -- can it be applied to the ship officiers only?
- The 5 turns ETA (or ETA's if value is kept for both star and fleet officers..) hasn't been exposed atm.
- The warlord option is not tunable for star and fleet officers separately.
sytnik.aa: I would like to have more planets with specials.
For testing, I've added following in my USER.CFG:
planet_specials_chance no_special = 0; # was 64
planet_specials_chance wormhole = 0; # was 5
planet_specials_chance space_debris = 0; # was 3
planet_specials_chance pirate_cache = 0; # was 2
planet_specials_chance gold_deposites = 100; # was 3
planet_specials_chance gem_deposites = 0; # was 2
planet_specials_chance natives = 0; # was 9
planet_specials_chance splinter_colony = 0; # was 4
planet_specials_chance hero = 0; # was 3
planet_specials_chance monster = 0; # was 0
planet_specials_chance ancient_artifacts = 0; # was 5
My expectations -> every planet will have a "gold_deposites" special. Reality -> only a few planets have this special.
The settings are parsed, if I set something like planet_specials_chance gold_deposites = 1000 the game produces an error.
Is there another setting to increase the chance for a planet to have a special?
You are right that allowed input is relaxed here, the maximum value per line is 99 and the sum of values should not exceed 100, otherwise mapgen can stall.
The percentages of the planet_specials_chance table are not a percent of total present planets in a galaxy, so you can never get all planets in the galaxy to have gold deposits. First, only 1 special per star even if that star has multiple planets. Second, this chance table applies only when a star was assigned to have a special. This first part, that determines if a star has a special or not, is not tunable atm. If you like to experiment with HEX, then this can be influenced for example by upping a roll value in hex 0x112232 that is 100 (64) by default to for example 250 (FA) and you will see much more systems with a special.
