problem with editing tech fields in UE

[Soulvoid]

Hello and thanks for reading this. Im having an issue using UE editing the technology fields. example would be total research points needed and the formula for calculating points. I have double and triple checked that i am editing the correct directory/file and also launching trek.exe from the same folder/path. every field in the editing window in UE for the exception of calculate points saves the info correctly there on UE and i can re-open the same file and the values are what i saved. problem is in game, starting new games, i view the tech field database and the Req. RP stated there is the vanilla values. i also burnt turns and dumped all research into one field and used one lab, no change vanilla speeds. can someone please help me to understand what am I not seeing here? Thanks!

This sounds like a path issue.

In UE check the edit/setting and check if both the automatically change path boxes are checked.

if this is a copied install this could be a registry issue.

im not sure if this means anything but i did a file integrity check with the UE program. IMO it does look like some important things may be going on here. Any help is much obliged.

Ahh ok. Thank you so much for the reply. Yes my original install of the new main multi i just copied the folder and used that for creating my mod. I suppose that is the issue then, wow im going to loose a lot of progress but atleast I have my fix this is important for me. Ill do a new install in a new directory and see how it goes, again thanks for the reply!

And yes both box's are checked.

those are all normal for a vanilla install except this one maybe?

Error: environ.est: Sum of environment frequencies is not 1.

but that has nothing to do with tech level issue.

you may not need to re-install

you might be able to edit the stbof.ini to correct path

I edited greatly the % of anomalies to planets and their seperate %'s. I have not had any stability issues nor any noticeable side effects from this error, atleast not as of yet anyways

My goal was to simulate a more realistic map reflecting my thoughts on our current RL galaxy with a sci fi twist ofc. Seems to make it quite immersive as well as strategic and makes exploration fun again.

Installing to a new path fixed the issue. Thanks man, im sure you've saved more than one person's interests on here. Your a cool guy. Cheers
