I understand that in Entrenchment there are SB limits of 4 or 1 per gravity well. What is the defining factor that determines this? Is it star colour based? Map based? Random? I was just hoping there was a way to tell other than gettiing an SB constructor to try and build one only to be told SB limit reached for gravity well.
I'm 95% sure it is one starbase per player per gravity well, with the exception of stars, where it is four starbases per player.
Pretty certain that as TEC i had more than one SB in a gravity well... though that was a while back so can't find it in my autosaves to see if there was anything special about anything there
You can have four starbases in a star's gravity well, otherwise the limit is one. Magnetic clouds cannot contain a starbase at all. Each player has their own starbase limit, meaning an ally can still build a starbase in a gravity well even if you already have one... as can an enemy.
Yep my mistake, just found the same map and tried again... though 4 in a star's... interesting indeed...
Although you can have one, you can mod each of your planet type to modify how many starbase per planet you can have.
@ ice just had a poke around the game files but there is nowhere obvious that i could edit using note pad, would you happen to know where those files are?
Its at the bottom of each entity file for each planet including the suns, the suns are done by colour though 
Says something like "maxstarbase per gravity well = 1" or 4 for a star 
Got it, cheers! Needed to download forgetools for the encoding.... hehe upped pirate bases to be super planets - kinda fun setting lots of AIs against you to be forced from your homeworld to move onto a newer better place
Forget the tip Al, I just tried to do it in my mini mod, all my other changes except the maxstarbase worked... Not sure if its the constructor but that shouldn't really have an effect unless all planets/suns had the same limit o..o
Strange... worked fine for me, though even with 5 defense starbases (advent ones too) its still a struggle to hold on!
So mines maxing out fine at a limit of 10 (only for pirate bases though)
