Galaxy Forge - Netural Grav Wells

changing the chance to spawn neutral extractors

from Sins Forums

Hello,

 

I was wondering if there was a way to make astroid fields, gas giants and all other non-colonizable gravity wells have customized chance to spawn neutral extractors.

 

Thanks!

MERCI!

uh what do u mean, they all having a random chance of having a certain amount of neutral extractors. Gas giants get best and most.

Yes, i want to alter that chance. "Customized chance" meaning if it's 50% right now to spawn a metal extractor, i want to change that to 10%

 

Please help me sir!

Not sure, I am not much of a moder, but my best gues is to go into the code of a random map of a game and look for resourceextractionchance:

You can't do that with the galaxy forge. You can mod the astroid belt, plasma storm etc. entity file in the game data folder, but that would apply game wide, not just to the one map. I suppose you could take the long way around and make a second version of an asteroid belt with the custom percentages, but that would take a lot of work. I'd just make the map, mod the entity files before you play it, then change it back when you're done. Sorry, but that might be the only way to do it.
