Precursor world changes? » Forum Post by emmagine

The file is DLC4_PlanetTraitDefs.xml. 3 of the 12 are tagged extreme and have the technology requirement for colonization. Find

and remove it for each then find

<ColonizationPrerequ>
      <Techs>
        <Option>AtmosphericCleansing</Option>
      </Techs>
    </ColonizationPrerequ>

for each and change it to

<ColonizationPrerequ>
      <Techs>
        <Option>TechTree</Option>
      </Techs>
    </ColonizationPrerequ>

I think that should do it.

@Moogle65535. That just defines the planets, not how frequent they are.

@emmagine: The frequency of all PW was changed dramatically late last year, early this year. The frequency can be found in the file MapSizeDefs.xml

If you want to modify look for <MinPrecursorPlanets>XXXXX</MinPrecursorPlanets> and <PrecursorPlanetPercentOfHabitable>XXXXX</PrecursorPlanetPercentOfHabitable> under each map size and adjust as one sees fit.

Then save the file in the mod directory under the EXACT same name, enable mods, and enjoy.

For the record, <MinPrecursorPlanets> sets that there will be at least that number of precursor worlds in a map setting (though one might not be guaranteed to see lvl 2 ones) while <PrecursorPlanetPercentOfHabitable> sets the percentage of all worlds that can be colonized that will turn out to be precursor worlds.

As an example, at the start of 1.5, a Medium sized map was guaranteed to have at least 9 precursor worlds with the PrecursorPlanetPercentOfHabitable variable set to 0.05.

Now under 1.7, a Medium sized map is guaranteed to have at least 3 precursor worlds with the PrecursorPlanetPercentOfHabitable variable set to 0.01.

Bit of a difference.

They basicly made the PrecursorPlanetPercentOfHabitable a dead define. You will always get the minimum amount of precursor worlds set with MinPrecursorPlanets, cause 0.01 (1%) is always less that the minimum. Just do a calculation off the MaxHabitablePlanets which is 55 for medium. Even immense maps you always get the minimum, 0.01 of 300 = 3, minimum = 10.

Unless one has already upped the number of MaxHabitablePlanets in your own games.
