How about others people here - would you prefer to have the full list of old components and hulls, or the way it is where you can only use the most recent?

Well, it would be nice to be able to use older components in some ship designs because sometimes I build ships with the intention to trade them with another empire, and I don't want to give away my latest technology.

There's no easy way I know of providing the old levels. It'd be up to MM to add in this feature.

The Balance Mod never did have the expanded facility space with the advanced storage trait.

I've fixed all the one per components. You can fix it for your copy by just adding >= 1 rather than = 0 to the restriction formula.

I SE IV, where you were able to use older components, I very rarely used this. So for me it is not an important feature I miss in SE V.

What file is this setting in?

Thanks

Captain Kwok, when you do the patch for BM1.09 to run on SEV1.58, could you please include the fix for the ground combat troop/pop problem?
I tried this with with the BM1.09 files Heber_Magalhaes changed to work in SEV1.58 (attached) and there were no problems loading and running BM1.09 SEV1.44 games. I'm not sure if there is other changes in SEV1.58 like this which require alterations in the mod files. If there are not, we could just use this as the patch.
Thanks

Hol-y [censored] that is a lot of malitia.

I'm finishing up that v1.11 patch for tomorrow. Once that is released then I'll put together that v1.09 PBW patch.

Ok, Thanks for the update.

Greetings!

I've posted a patch for v1.09 of the Balance Mod that will allow it to be used with the v1.58 patch for SE:V. It's primarily intended for v1.09 PBW games, but it does have an AI update for those that wish to carry v1.09 Balance Mod saved games to the v1.58 SE:V patch. Note that you need v1.09 installed prior to applying the patch!!!

The v1.11 patch of the Balance Mod should be along in a few days. It features a number of bug fixes and tweaks for the current v1.10.

The v1.09 PBW Patch is here:
