Description:

Do you suffer from chronic game restarting from unlucky galaxy generation? While there is no cure, Restarterol can relieve the pain by shortening the time between new games. This is done by revealing the galaxy faster without being too game breaking.

Each new colony starts with a temporary +16 view range bonus called "Sensor Burst". This temporary effect is also available as an industry constructible. Homeworlds with headquarters also recieve +4 view range bonus for a short period. The duration of the view range bonuses is affected by gamespeed.

Additionally, each faction is given more starter ships and resources to assist in exploration and colony building. The bonuses for each faction are listed below. If modders don’t want the AI to get these bonuses, the FactionTrait file in the plugin must be switched. The bonuses can then be added to a custom faction at no cost under the Start Modifiers filter.
