Refineries

February 15, 2008 3:31:30 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Anyone figured out how to make Refinery ships jump further, and preferably interstellar?

Though I get the sneaking suspicion that the "Cargo" roletype inherits its behaviour from the entitytype that spawns it, as the only (consequential) difference between Trade\Refinery ships is the cargoType

Posibilities Ron...posibilities. At this stage of the game, it's not about balance, it's about the posibilities.

and that's a dang good question Terra...I'll tinker some after work and see what I come up with.

I know. Hence the smiley

Just consider that me pointing out that you'd have to redo the system in a number of ways.

Well the way I'm trying to get the system to work, for a mod (and scenario map) not for Sins "proper", is that refinery ships are the only source of metal and crystal income, adding to this that resource asteriods will only spawn around non-colonisable systems, so will more than likely require defensive fleets.

After all that i figure that tweaking numbers will balance out the numbers-economy side of it.

Ambitious, and I wish you luck. However, I haven't found anything that dictates the range of the refinery ships. Found some other interesting things like where all those preset planet groups for the in game map creator are defined (GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef). Lots of good stuff in the gameplay.constants file, but alas, no dice on the poor refinery ships. Maybe someone else will have better luck that I will.
