Post by Noobc0re »

Hi.

I disabled enemy expansion, but they still made new bases.

post the file, it'll be better :)
The string is in the file, but the reverse is not true.

Oh no, my railroad nightmare! No one was to know about it!

Is this the correct one, the zip file?

I forgot to note that I did press restart a few times. I don't think that should be it, but thought I'd mention it.

Enemy expansions are not deactivated in the save you provided.
Edit: With what version of the game was the map created originally?

Whatever version it was almost a week ago. Friday.

If it's on, then that explains it. But I remember double-checking that it was off before starting.

There was a bug that caused settings to default back when restarting a map, but it was fixed months ago. I'll file this as NaB until someone can show a way to reproduce this.

Enemy expansion can be disabled in a running game, use this command (will disable achievements):

Code: Select all

/c game.map_settings.enemy_expansion.enabled = false
