how do i create new sites?

[Phoenix-D]

Go to Main_Sites.txt, copy one of the existing ones and change it to suit. Then open up a map and change a planet from one of the existing sites to your new one.

i see now, i want to change or add sections not sites

[cpt. taylor of the eclipse]

i mainly want them for supply and demand reasons.

like a mining colony would have a certain site that demanded mining equipment.

You still want the sites file, or maybe the Stores file. The sections are defined for each site.

i know but changing them made the game crash

[Phoenix-D]

What specificlly did you do?

[cpt. taylor of the eclipse]

i changed my job centers to spacedocks, cause i can only have eight sections at each site of course ihave no idea what i'm doing.

[Phoenix-D]

If you changed them to spacedock you also have to change the other lines for that entry..

Section 1 Name := Galactic News Center
Section 1 Type := Mission Text

cannot be

Section 1 Name := Galactic News Center
Section 1 Type := Spacedock

it has to be something like

Section 1 Name := Galactic News Center
Section 1 Type := Spacedock
Section 1 Center ID := Terran Spacedock

but wat ineed is something differentif i do wat you said then my new section will have the same attributtes as the site terran spacedock? also is there any to add more than 8 sections?

[Phoenix-D]

if you want a new spacedock, you go to main_stores and make a new one, then tell the sites file to refer to that spacedock instead of the Terran one.

No, you can't have more than 8 sites per location.
