Re: [Planning] Unofficial SEIV Expansion Pack
You might consider looking at such mods as Adamant's racial traits to see how they use REQUIRED negative values to further limit cheating and such.

Re: [Planning] Unofficial SEIV Expansion Pack
I though the required abilities field didn't work. I'll have to take a closer look at Adamant.

Re: [Planning] Unofficial SEIV Expansion Pack
What he is referring to is adding a trait to give, say, 10000 points, then making the colony tech traits cost 10000 points. This strongly discourages players from taking 2 colony tech traits.

Re: [Planning] Unofficial SEIV Expansion Pack
I have adopted this system for use with up coming SE IV AST 2.0 mod. I find that it lends itself very well to preventing PBW cheating of having more than one colony type from game start.

Re: [Planning] Unofficial SEIV Expansion Pack
Or, you can use the colony tech 2.0 mod, which has no need for racial traits, and does the same exact job.

Re: [Planning] Unofficial SEIV Expansion Pack
is there one that locks in preventing the trading of those also?

Re: [Planning] Unofficial SEIV Expansion Pack
The ones mentioned prevent trading, yeah.
As a racial tech or a unique tech, they can't be traded except to somebody who already has it, which defeats the purpose.
