Another AI Facility Question
 

You'd think I was a masochist or something...

Im still trying to get my damn Minsiters to build what I want... Does anyone know what you would put into the "Default_AI_Construction_Facilities.txt" to make a minister build Monolith Facils?

Also, is there anything special you have to do if you make a new Colony type besides putting the params into Default_AI_Construction_Facilities.txt"?

Thanks

You can't, unless you modify the monolith facilities to have some special attribute that you can call for.

Mod the monoliths to have "Warp Point - Turbulence", which will have no effect on the game, but allow you to call for a facility with that ability, resulting in the construction of a monolith!

If you give mineral miners I/II/III a tubulence ability of 1/2/3,
and the monoliths I/II/II a turbulence ability of 4/5/6,
Then a call for turbulence will get you the best monolith, and if monoliths are not researched yet, the best mineral miner.

Brilliant idea suicide_junkie! Does it work in your experience and is it possible to apply the same trick to components??

Re: Another AI Facility Question
 

It works for components, though there are only so many non-functioning abilities to go around.

Weapons, of course, are easy to set up; just get the family number you want. If only the rest was that simple..
