ZombieRus5 is attempting to do this as well with his mods. Talk to him for help.

 

He has done it. It works well and provides a very very personalized game.

 

The only downside to this approch is the sheer ammount of different mod folders it creates. It tends to overwhelm most mod users, on how to operate it.

Seems people just dont get how to use mod stacking even when he has provided a detailed instructional posts.

Using the Galaxy forge, and more specifically through the planet template window, is there a way for a planet to start with a neutral colony? Im referring to the planets you used to see in the original game that had both tactical and civilian modules present along with a small defense force and had to be bombed in order to be colonized.  I once saw a planet colonized by what appeared to be a rebel faction (the "fist" icon was over the planet) so I know at least that's possible.

 

*edit*

 

Never mind, I figured it out already. lol

If I thought it would help making a mod selection GUI that creates the EnabledMods.txt would be kinda cool. But I'm really hesitant about maintaining and supporting an executable and don't feel it would be worth the headache. So install what you want and play what you want. Hell, combine what you want and think your system can handle into a single mod. I just deliver the food stuffs, it's up to the players of the mod to choose the recipe they like and make their own dish.

You know how some people's eyes are always bigger then their stomach?  Yeah, Sins of the Fallen is like that.  People are gonna see all the goodies and go "Ooooh, I want all of that!" and when they load it all up, their system is gonna reject it on the principle that it's too much good stuff.

Has anyone has any issues with random crashes with 7DS?   When I use it I get crashes to desktop...   Any known issues with version 1.0?

wrong mod friend. 7DS is not 7 Distant Stars. Try the seven deadly sins thread and make sure your graphic/effect settings aren't set to high.

Actually, don't bother with the 7 Deadly Sins thread, they'll just tell you to go to their own forums and post there...

Great mod and im enjoying it alot!  Really nice some of the changes you have made.  I do have one question and please forgive me if someone else brought it up in the previous 272 pages before this, but I was curious why you can develop technologies to make barren worlds better, before you can actually research living on those worlds?  Ive noticed it in 2 of the races(havnt checked the third), but it seems as if you research making it nicer to live on barrens worlds before you actually can live on them.  Was curious why this is.  Its not a big deal, I was just curious if perhaps the two were meant to be changed at some point, though I still can see that Volcano planets should prolly come after learning to live on barren planets.

 

Still, great work and love what you have done.   Please dont take my question as anything other than a question as I love what you have done.

Actually that is more of a hardcode issue we have found. Initially we didn't want it to work out like that and leave it strictly with the later techs but the game won't let us. So it remains as it is due to the hardcode issue.

Just think of it this way jmccrea. Other than some research scientists on a 'test-site', a sustainable population needs more advanced infrastructure. That's what you're researching and in essence, those scientists as the 'test-site' keep dieing for.

Hi, thanks for you work and interesting mod. Maybe you will have plans add to your mod new features.
Some new research tree for Planetary Defense, make planetary beam or plasma gun, missile station and planetary fighter base, planetary shield , how it was made in Master of orion 2. Make it how update on planets. Maybe add aliens defender on sum reach planets and capture aliens flits (Sins of the Fallen: Alien Artifacts).

ZombiesRus5 Do you have a page with all your mods and instr..... I don't come on ever day so  I don't like to have 2 read 5 pages to see if you have any updates. If not its all good, I just think your work needs its own spot. Peace

Major hard code issues here. We have tried.

We have made some changes to the militia that defend plus have a few maps that can make capturing a neutral a serious campaign. As for the capture element we have some things but they are highly randomized.

He does. Just use the search engine with his forum name and you will find them.

I'll say.  I recently had a look to see how you guys implemented the planetary defense system.  It's both a pretty brilliant and extremely (but necessarily) complex workaround to the hardcoded barriers in the game.  I just wish they has thought of defenses on the surface of the planets to begin with.  Even with our limited technology today, we have surface weapons that can reach into space (ICBMs).

Another thing I would have liked to see is all the mining done from the surface of the planets: each planet has a set value for each resource and then it is mined at a rate based on the population of the planet (like planetary resources currently are).  The current method of mining asteroids in orbit is simple and works but isn't very realistic.

Improbable? Probably. Realistic? Close enough.

Well, the sizes alone aren't very realistic...  One of these days I'm going to mod things so that they are the proper sizes which means you better hope those specs of dust are your capital ships because if they aren't...  Wait, you still want to be able to see strike craft?  Pfffft.

Talking about the planetary defense, why is the plasma effect used for the PsiTech defense? Wouldn't the Psionic Surge (spiritblade) or the effect the Abjudicator uses fit the planetary weapon system better?

Someone playing DS didn't get this, so...  Just as a reminder, if you get DS for diplomacy and like it, you may want to consider getting this too as it fixes up some issues with the mod as well as includes all of the minimods we like to have.

Hey DS team

Played SINS along time ago up till Diplomacy came out and after a while new games brought me astray. After reinstalling and playing SINS offline then finding your mod, all I can say is a big thank you for dragging me back into my SINS ways. Your mod has truly reinvigorated it for me and now I'm hooked waiting for Rebellion and what you guys can do with that!

I know you probs get these posts and apologies if in wrong section (i know how forum guys get steamed) but just had to post somewhere

 

Regards

Helikaon
