Re: Weapons Modding
The ability file lists all abilities in the game but some only work with facilities and some only with components. I think the supply generation ability is for the resupply depot facility but it may work with a component. If it says planet or sector in the ability name it won't work on a component. If it doesn't then it MAY work on a component and vice versa.
Nothing prohibits you from add or mixing abilities as long as the abilities are for the correct items, for example I tried to create a facility that had a cloaking ability to see if I could hide planets but it did not work as cloaking is for components.

Re: Weapons Modding
You are correct Marty. I just tried it and the Supply generation is for facilities only, although it doesn't say anything about that in the description.
Bummer too, cause I found a really cool pic for the Ram Scoop too.

Re: Weapons Modding
I think the Palace would be a great facility. Lose it and your happiness and resource production go down the drain until you build a new one. Make it cost a fortune!
Maybe in SE5 |

Re: Weapons Modding
That's been discussed quite a bit in the forums here. Apparently it's an idea that crossed Aaron's mind too for it to be in the file already.
It might not take till SE5. Could be something he wants to do when he gets time to work out the bugs, like drones.

There's also a text in the sectortypes file that refers to an unused sectortype: comets (or at least it used to be there)
I wonder if that's still on the to do list..
