Why is there the need to REVERT?

Was the UCP or the 5x Ultimate that changed Battle Pods negatively?

Does not work

With the change that DeValiere suggests it works perfectly. I see no issue with copying the whole block for that item as you really shouldnt be double modifying that one item IMO.

DO NOT USE this mod in February 2024. In addition to what @DeValiere described, which is accurate, the author replicated the entire YAML block for the object rather than just the properties that he changed, meaning that it unnecessarily creates conflicts with any mods that might try to change other properties in the same block.

FIX: NOT working correctly. Will give 50% extra hull capacity, but NOT for 0 space.

To fix this, go to (Steam install drive):\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\298050\794698140. Open shipModules.yaml with a text editor and look for the line that reads: size: 0 – change it to: baseSize: 0

I'd include what it should look like when you're done, but can't fit it all in one comment. But this fix worked for me. Note that changing the files in the modding folder included in the Steam game install won't do anything unless you then move that altered file to the local mod folder which is part of the Master of Orion file in your Documents folder. Make sure you make a copy of anything you change so you can use the original again if needed. Good luck.

This mod works. I have all extra races etc, and I am enjoying this game with this mod currently. Endorsed! Thank you for your work.

checks n balances two mods would check each other a loop the fix thou matter of testting and would haffta be loaded in certian order. So any two mods containing battle pods thou read carefully of each make sure they don't alter same thing maybe( needle in haysack)

Try setting (sizeHullFactor:) to zero as well. Maybe?

cant get working once the 3 new races arev installed

Open the file ShipModules.yaml (located in your Master of Orion\Modding folder)

Broken December 13 with patch 54.8.2

Had a thought, if you look at the coding for heavy armor and reinforced hull, they have 0 ship space cost. Maybe compare them to set the battle pods space cost? Just trying to help. I'm not a programmer or anything, so I hope I don't offend.

FYI - The +50% ship pace works, the 0 ship space cost does not, at the moment. Patch issues maybe? Greatly appreciate this mod though.

Can you make it compatible with the latest patch please ? Thanks

@Mikeracka That's a nice idea but maybe just to make "special" modifications take no space. I mean jesus those things are HEAVY!

Is there a way to make another one of these that nearly gives you unlimited "space"? or know which file affects this to manually change the value?

@Brett: Why would you -ever- choose fighter bays over this? You have access to two advanced versions of Fighter Bays further up the tech tree, while this is the sole technology that offers this sort of functionality.

Thanks for adding this. I bought this game when it is on sale, hoping for it to be like Masters of Orion 2. It has much to be desired. Like Governors and Captains. They might not patch this in. Or have it has DLC. However, this is a great start. Battle Pods were an essential for ship building. You have my thanks.

Thanks! That is awesome!

I made another mod that removes the need to choose when researching Advanced Construction:

Would it be possible to have this a sole technology? I hate having to choose between it and the fighter bays.
