I've given Space Yards the resupply ability in my personal mod and this results in TWO Space Yards on every homeworld at game start.

Does this mean that if you give the Cultural Center in Proprtions the Spaceyard ability, you'll have an even more insane homeworld?

I thought the Cultural centers had a repair ability of 1 slot but PvK took it out?

The repair ability is not looked at for HW facilites. Only the build rate abilities are.

Yes. Specially you'll have a homeworld with upwards of 30 functional spaceyards (i.e. really really larger build rate)

Note that you don't get the best facility for a given slot, just the one lowest on the list.

For example, if you mod a game where you start with access to Stellar Manipulation I your homeworlds will be filled with Monolith I's, which are individualy worse that the standard extraction facilities, as far as individual extraction capabilities are concerned.

It's not the best but the lowest applicable option in the list.

hmmm. i was certain that i was able to change the facilities on the homeworld by editing that file. on one of the early Versions of the junkyard mod, that still included research facilities in the game, i was able to remove them from homeworlds by removing them from that file.

i remember this vividly.

QuarianRex:
For the resource and research ones, you do get the highest producing one available. I have added a facility at the very beginning of the file that makes more resources than anything else, and it is placed on HWs. For the spaceport and RD ones, it is the lowest in the list, as you said.

Hmm, so it does. Since you didn't explicitly say that one could mod Facilities.txt , I didn't catch the difference.

This one I am 100% sure is incorrect. You can easily test it by simply doing a high tech start. You will see that your homeworlds do not have monoliths.

I just get tired of posting answers to questions people ask, and then seeing like 5 more people post the exact same thing many hours, if not days, later.
