Maintenance point question.

[Hutton]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know how to change the number of maintenance points you get from mines and refineries? I want to change it from a one for one basis.

 

For example: 1 refinery and two mines for 100 points.

Isn't that done in RebEd ? The field with the 50 ?

I've just had a look Mask, and I can't see where you can adjust the output of mines/refineries. I'd like to know how though, sure as hell would kill alot of problems with one swift stone...

I just fell asleep in the last lecture, but I'll dig into this, when I get home

Thanks Mask,

 

There is in fact an option in RebEd to adjust production for mines and refineries, but I have checked and seen that it doesn't effect maintenance.

[the_mask]

Yup, sorry. I just checked it as well and it only affects how long it takes for one item (raw material -> refined material) to be processed.

 

But now I know again, where that value 50 came from. I once saved a site about hex editing in Rebellion and someone wrote there, that you 'just' had to find that value in the game's files and adjust it. Without telling, what file that would be, of course

 

The only alternative would be to lower the maintenance amount for your ships and troops. That would have the same effect and wouldn't play into your opponent's hands, like changing the overall amount of maintenance 'output' would do.

Thanks for the advice, I will look for 50s, but I don’t actually want to adjust maintenance value. I want to adjust the ratio of mines to refineries, which will make mineral rich systems more desirable. Adjusting maintenance requirements of units won’t change that.
