Happiness

[mlmbd]

couslee, I have thought about a 'Newbie' information/ reference thread, or 'NIRT'. It would be the 'Newbie Question'. With say 3 or 4 different answers or views (with links), to the question. Would that be more to your liking? It wouldn't interfere with rutha's 'FAQ' thread. It would just be a supplement to the 'FAQ'!

That might be nice, but the main problem I was having was with the search engine. Once i tried the browser search function instead of the forum search function the FAQ became useable. I not think ANOTHER sticky thread is really needed, just people to keep in mind that a newb might be having problems trying to use the search enginge that is intuitive (the board one). CTRL-F works great on the large threads like the FAQ. I just had never used that search function anywhere before.

Q, I will give them a look over. I might shoot back a few questios to you about them tho.

I thought about doing the same thing. Designing my own happiness type (and no, it would not be a JW style either)..... Hmm nothing makes them unhapy except lack of new systems explored. nawww, that would only work is you had to explore each planet in a system as well. lol

Which might be a nice addition to SEV. until you put a ship in orbit, you get minimal data. (rock,gas,ice). conditions, resources, number of moons, are not shown until the sector is visited.

May be you like to try theese happiness types I have created:

[ ... snip lots of text ...]

Just copy them and insert them at the end of your happiness.txt file.

Lookin' good. One or all of them might find a home in my mod ... possibly tweaked, possibly as-is, if you don't mind.

if you do make an NIRT, one things that has caused me some grief is not knowing what level each tech greys out at. A list of the level for "completion" for each tech would be usefull.

As it is right now, in this game, I am trying to max out each weapon field. So in the future, I can make an edumacated decision on what fields to persue, and what fields to ignore.

Projectile Weapons:
5 levels
DUC to #5

Troop Weapons:
3 levels
ground cannon to #3

Something like that for a tech list would be usefull.

Feel free to use them as you like.

Imperator Fyron: I uploaded the entire happiness file including modification of the three original types as a part of my Q Mod in the mod section (some months ago).

The Encyclopedia Malfadorica {link}, which is linked from the Newbie FAQ {link}, as well, sort of acts like this proposed NIRT.

The EM has a pretty good search function, too.
