Soil Enhancement

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi

 

I'm having trouble with this tech. It is part of the planetary specialization tech (the other 2 being Enhanced production & Accelerated Growth)

I traded this from another race but as far as I can see it does nothing. It is meant to offer food+1. The accelerated growth (growth+10%) & Enhanced Production (raw production +1) are both showing their bonuses in the appropriate places, growth & raw production respectively, but the food bonus isn't showing

My excess food was 6 before acquiring this tech & is still 6 after.

This isn't part of the terraforming tech line so I'm sure it isn't being confused with soil engineering etc.

Is this a bug? Is there anything I can do about it?

Is this a known bug?

New to this so don't really understand that.

I assume I go to that file & edit it

what's target type? change to faction? do I put my faction name here?

If I change this file (I know keep the original) will this screw up any future games - especially with this specific tech?

 

Also noticed the same problem for Trade Route Optimization (Trade route value +10%) this seems to do nothing as well

Ok,

1) the edited file MUST go in a mod directory for crusade e.g.

C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade\Mods\'name'\Game\MasterTechDefs.xml

2) edit the MasterTechDefs.xml file and save it as above

find the MasterPlanetarySpecialization1 section and make this change

<Stats>
      <EffectType>Food</EffectType>
      <Scope>Global</Scope>
      <Target>
        <TargetType>Faction</TargetType>
      </Target>
      <BonusType>Flat</BonusType>

 

EDIT: OOPS i may have spoken too soon,  thought it was working but need to do more testing, sorry
