oleg - AI does use mini component mounts. I like the idea of storage capacity on resource facilities so I have added 5000 to all. Thanks.

Imperator Fyron - I forgot about the stealth and scattering bonuses and have bumped combat sensors up to 30,40,50 to adjust. Thanks.

Everyone - Link to the updated mod info -->here.
Link to ver 1.1 of BOD Mod -->here.

As I stated before, the idea here is to make a better AI opponent while maintaining the variety of many different races utilizing different strategies and weapons. I still need help with the AI data files and don't see any volunteers yet.

Mini-mounts will not help AI, AI always uses the biggest mount available.

I suggest to add resource storage ability to mines, farms and rad. extractors. It is not uncommon to have AI reach storage capacity (especially when you play with AI bonus) but still building resource extractors.

So, no takers on this? Should I delete it? Is it really that bad? Or, maybe I'm just on my own to program the AI's and then people might take an interest. Or, maybe.......nah.

Umm... I have no knowledge of AI programming.

I'm testing your mod now. The lack of responces is IMHO because it does take some time to figure out what is it all about. Wait and be patient.

There are typos in Facilities.txt. It should be plural in resourse storage abilities: organics, not organic and radioactives not radioactive.
Cheers.

Errors have been fixed and I am starting on AI files. Will post the AI data files as they are completed. Would still appreciate a little help with AI data files.
