The population of new colonies

Post by Kurn »

I would like to change the number of the poplulations created by colony ship 1 and 2.
Is it known where the codes are?

The production value of the colony ship (see shiplist.sst) is used as index value for the data table with the starting pop and buildings of new colonies: viewtopic.php?f=160&t=64

Note the vanilla code is off by one i.e. 1-9 is 0-8. Fixing this index bug leads to lower values in ECM.
I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.

Thanks for the link. Before I posted this topic I was looking in the modding index, but overlooked it. Sorry for that. I intended to edit the starting pop of new colonies in my personal mod to 1, but it seems the code allows only at least 10.
