Any ETA on the GOG release of 2.0?

I do not like the starbase spam,

I do not like it, Sam-I-Am!

I will not spam them in a boat,

I will not spam them with a goat.

I do not like the starbase spam,

I do not like it,  Sam-I-am!

(still waiting patiently for GOG to release 2.0.  *pout*)

... so my brother and I bought all our missing DLCs with Update 2.0
AND just found out, that not all of them could be used for MP, even still no mod support for MP ! 

NO that isn't good , that is even a joke
Please more care for MP possibilities ...

AT LEAST FOR the new Gal CIV : Crusaders

1.) ALLOW Mods for MP Games, at the moment we copy everything into the original game and it works technical. Make it like in Civ VI , it really should the problem of the PLAYERS if their mod workes for MP or not

2.) ONLY the HOST needs the DLCs / ADD ONs etc. that the game works

3.) An Option that Tech Trading only gets you a RESEARCH BONUS for that part (like +20% faster research if you have traded it)
and keep that, that you only could trade parts, you only have researched WITHOUT research help

4.) NO TRADING of specialization research. You can only find them on planets or in artifacts. Or when you are lucky through conquer from research stations or spying !

Really hope that you try to improve the game, as that CIV VI is still a joke, special that Computer Opponents ...

Wish you luck and success with CRUSADER !
 

Even I love them, I want an OPTION with: Disable - normal - fewer - rare 

I need them, as without Administrators I have the urge to build 5-8 starbases around one Planet and that ruins the whole gameplay, it is even terrible, because after a time I have hundred of constructors building starbases 

Afaik there's no official (or even inofficial) ETA yet. I only remember a Frogboy comment from end 2016 that it is to ca. 75 % done. So hopefully not long anymore...

You could always Mod them out or have a Mod that allows you to increase them.

For instance you could have a colony unique building that trains a new administrator every 5 turns or adds X amount towards a new administrator.

 Edit:

There isn't a AdministratorPerTurn EffectType, which is a shame, but you could have the second option.

I play the Immense map and this new Starbase Administrator SUCKS!!!  It literally brings my expansion to a halt!!  I HATE and DESPISE this feature.  You could have put in a way to disable it!  Fix this, now!!!  

Sorry you feel this way. We have been discussing the need to reduce constructor spam on the forums for years. This feature was sorely needed to and really is not a barrier to expansion by any means. 

I am sure you can find the xml and simply mod how many you want per map. Done and Done.

doesn't it give you about 80 administrators?  I never build 80 SB's personally

THE HARD WAY

1) Make a copy of the "Example Mod" folder in the Mod folder of your My Games Folder (where your Factions are). Rename this copy "Fixing Maps," or whatever.

2) Copy this file:

MapSizeDefs.xml

from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\data\Game to the Game folder in your Fixing Map mod folder. Do not change the name, do not erase the old one.

3) Open the COPY of MapSizeDefs in your Fixing Maps Folder with a text editor (notepad), and find the lines that say:
 

    <BaseAdministrationPoints>4</BaseAdministrationPoints>

There will be one for each <MapSize> entry (and thus, one per map size). You can change these values as you desire. Save your changes.

4) Load GalCiv3, go to Options, and enable mods, restart.

5) When the game loads the next time, it SHOULD use the administrators you asked for.

THE EASIER WAY

Do everything above, but on step 3, just comment out the lines so they won't be read at all:

  <!--    <BaseAdministrationPoints>4</BaseAdministrationPoints> -->

If you remove all of the "<BaseAdministrationPoints>" entries, the system will actually revert to using NO ADMINISTRATORS AT ALL. I found that out the embarrassing way.

I also hate the new admin requirement for starbases! Please make that optional it really ruins the game for me! I guess I will not update the game above 1.9 and will definitely buy no more DLCs or games from you until you fix that!

I always play huge or insanly big galaxies and like to have 2 or in a few cases even 3 economy star bases for some systems with 2 or 3 good planets. I need more starbases for mining resources and a few more for boosting culture in border regions, mining relics, etc., etc....

Starbases always play a big role in my strategy and you should not tell your players how to play their games. Therefore PLEASE make the admins for starbaeses optional!

I also would like admins to be optional. 

You can mod out the Administrators entirely if you wish as in post #19.

I'm sure if you asked nicely, someone will create a Mod for you that does what you want.
