Fewer Nebulae

Description
This mod does three things:
  • Reduces the percentage of battlefields nebulas spawn in,
  • Doubles the area of the battlefield,
  • Planetary defenses no longer spawn in the middle of the battlefield.
Previously there were 5 battlefield types, having 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 nebulae respectively. With this mod it's changed to 0, 0, 0, 4, 8, so nebulae only spawn in about 40% of the battlefields instead of 80%.

The 5X mod already does the 2nd and 3rd thing, but not the first. This should work with other mods, but you should put it near the bottom of your mods list in game for best results.

Again, exactly what I was looking for. Hard shields was too powerful with vanilla nebulae. 40% of battlefields sounds better (or even 20%, I'll check it out) !

@Hyperion, I loaded up this mod and couldn't reproduce the error. In fact this mod is very small and doesn't touch the interstellar stock exchange, so I'm fairly certain it can't be causing this exception.

There's no better way of debugging afaik. WhatIsSol mentioned he might at some point be interested in putting the file name where the error occurred into the output log via UCP to make it easier to track down.

This mod caused a load failure, isolated to this mod by process of elimination as debugging is sucky. If there is any better way of debugging mods I'd be grateful to know.

Just view a little bit and would say that The Nebula has name already? And The Hair Line Light have not seen before in Laniakea, still mistery too at Orion Nebula that have two blast (one big blast on left and one little blast on right). Good Nebula.

Thank you very much, mate! I do appreciate your efforts in making this poor basic game so much more and better therefore.

Those sizes are the radius of the various battlefields. To double the area of the battlefield, I multiplied the original radius by square root(2). I don't know how they got the original numbers. There's no specific rules I'm aware of that you have to follow in setting those numbers.

How did you change the tactical map sizes? I know their parameters are set in the globals yaml but those are seemingly weird numbers:

TACTICAL_GRID_RADIO_SMALL: 62.3
TACTICAL_GRID_RADIO_MEDIUM: 84.9
TACTICAL_GRID_RADIO_BIG: 139.3

Is there any kind of formula to respect in order to change the sizes properly?

Thanks in advance! Cheers.
