Planetary Buildings

April 17, 2006 1:22:49 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Is there a way to build a lower class building than your highest researched level?

It is kind of annoying when late-game I keep taking over enemy planets that have NO Manufacturing centers on them and it is going to take some 300+ turns or 8000 credits to get one rolling. Is there ANY way to make the game build a first-gen factory and then upgrade it rather than building a latest-gen building?

If you don't mind having to upgrade manually, you can modify the PlanetImprovements.xml file and remove the value within the "S_UpgradeTarget" tag.
Doing this will allow you to keep building the older improvements as well, but does not autoupgrade.

Hope this helps.

Hmm, well perhaps this could be an option for one of the upcoming versions heh. Most every other game of this type has a button that says "show only latest" that you can toggle on and off. Seems that it would be a much better solution that having to go change xml files.

Of course, I guess most times by the time the game reaches this point it is all but over. Still, it is rather frustrating.

Thanks for the input though.

show only latest button would be very cool
pro that (btw i never had the need to build a normal factory later ... normally i have plenty of money and the planets i take have some factories)

I actually find that quite often late game most planets I take over are almost completely filled with Influence stuff... and at least 50% have no factories at all heh. Of course, perhaps that is because I am only playing Tough level... maybe harder AI does not kill their infrustructure like that.
