• Changed the technology price multiplier limit from 1000 to 100000.

Any chance this could be set to less than 1 and rounded up? I.e. research cost of 0.1 or 0.01 etc.
I wasn't going to make a post about it when I tought of making a low research run a couple weeks ago, but reading the changelog reminde me.

Biter/spitter spawners will emit a cloud of damaging acid if they are blocked from spawning units.

Changed the technology price multiplier limit from 1000 to 100000.

Mikehendi is gonna get a much harder run to do now. XD

Although you can't do it in the map settings, you can do this with a console command in-game and it'll work just fine:

Code: Select all

/c game.difficulty_settings.technology_price_multiplier = 0.1

As a console command it'll disable achievements, but I imagine even if they add it in the GUI, it would still disable achievements.

Someone out there is an absolute maniac. And I love that this is available for them now.

Thanks for the info.
With that knowledge it is an even more reasonable request.
I suppose they wouldn't even have to change much in the GUI just allow some non integer input. Because it just rejects floating points in the gui but the functionalityu is clearly there.

I could even see them adding a slide selector with some presets and a very obvious warning not to mess with any of this (0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 10, 100, 1000)

On a similar topic, could the sliders in the map generator get another look before eod? I'd love text input but even just tweaking which % are available and how many notches there are would be nice. I'd love sub 17% on some resource sliders for example, or 1000% scale for the water generation on Nauvis.

The lowest amount is 0.001. I have asked for this in the past, but it was rejected.
