Nerfing that sick trade ports

from Sins Forums

Hello guyz, im atm making a mod that rebalances / fixes performance in alot ways, tho i ran into a big problem...

trying to balance overpowered trade ports, and cant find good way to do so... already tried to limit amount of ships per port / refinery, altho that doesnt affect it as i wish...

 

problem is that many players SPAMS trade ports resulting in economy crash... no matter how are cargo ships limited

btw before anyone tries to xplain, i know how trade prots works

what im trying to make : im trying to find a way how to anyhow LIMIT AMOUNT of trade ports in single gravity well (for example 1-2 per planet)

OR

to find a way how to make trade ports have diminishing effect...

for example first port on gravity well 1.0 inc, second only 0.5 inc (2 ports in same well 1.5 inc, 3 ports 1.75 inc etc)

ANY HELP on this greatly appreciated

i searched whole forum, googled whole night, cant find a solution, so im trying typing here :/

Also if creator of maelstrom mod will allow me so, ill release my mod later as it increases performance in MAJOR WAY, making 100+ planets maps containing 10 players fully playable on multiplayer :)

again THANX for any help

Already done for you mate. ;)

 

I dealt with this problem in my Enhanced 4X mod by causing each trade port you construct to give a negative trade income penalty to all trade at the current planet. That means for each trade port you build at a planet, each individual trade port produces less credits. Just building one or two trade ports per planet is not very noticeable, but build nothing but trade ports on high logistics planets and it will start to be felt.

Oh thanx for pointing me on, downloaded ur mod and trying to find out how its done, maybe you could point me into certain files or hint me up a little? checking entity files now, seems u made buff for it am i right? if possible could you hit me more what files are affected by this, so im able to integrate in my mod? ofc only if u allow me to do so :D, atm found in your mod alot of files that could be causing it and im still a little noob with modin this game :) anyway thanx for ur help again :)

 

EDIT : ok i found ur files ,buffs abilities etc, i copied them to my mod folder, changed manifest file so it contains them now, added strings to my mod, but still when i build the port game mini dumps :/

Well, I was hoping you'd just play my mod, that take it apart, but I guess a download is a download.  x_x :P
