10_0 Scan & Mine Tweeks (Load 10_0)
Master Of Orion (LOAD 10_0). This mod makes some changes to the scanner range. It increases mine wealth and technology output – to increase game play tactics and "fog of war." See the readme file for details.
Introduction: This mod is extracted from a much larger mod which I made for myself. It doesn’t need to be active if you are using one my my expand scenario mods(8_0, 8_1, 8_2, or 8_3) where this mod is included. I am releasing it in parts so that you can activate mods incrementally to suit your own preferences.
Compatibility:
1. This mod (10_3) can be played with UPC only without 5X (The Ultimate Balance Mod). It may work in the base game configuration as well (I never tested it for that circumstance). However, this is the load order if using these other popular mods: 5X (The Ultimate Balance Mod), UPC (WhatIsSol version), UCP Steam Workshop, Diverse Specials Lite B (optional), 5X UCP Compatibility Mod (5XCPC), and Custom 5X and DSMP Assets.
2. This mod adds one line to the first part of the Tech Tree. It uses the original base game Tech Tree, but only upto where the change happens.
Location – This mod should be located at the end of your mod list; or in the indicated load order with my other mods. It MUST come AFTER my Colony Ship Speed mods (either 10_1 or 10_2).
What this mod does:
1. The Structure Surveillance System satellite now offers a high scanning range, but it costs 20 credits each turn for the benefit. These are un-manned structures, so they can output high radiation scans which star bases and outputs must not – because they are manned. Use these in a limited tactical way.
2. The base scanning range of other scanners has been reduced by about half to increase the "Fog Of War" aspect of the vastness of space.
3. The Antarian Technology mine produces 24 points research points per turn. The Asteroid Mine produce 20 credits per turn; and the Gas Giant mine produce 15 points per turn.
This mod works best when used with my other mods at my Steam Work Shop:
