SOBER PONY AI V2
Introducing Sober Pony AI, the mod that will finally sober up that drunk pony the AI has been riding on while laying out the road for your empire’s economy. With the help of community members @SupaJohnson and @D34DLY, the AI’s behavior has been adjusted through a series of define changes that will lead to a smoother and more strategic economic development for your nation. The new system of building tiers will now be tied to technology unlocks, so you can see your empire’s economy advance along with your technological advancements.
Changes to the defines in the comment’s of the file’s code. Lot’s of fine tuning steps for weight values.
Update v0.1.1:
NEW FEATURE; TIERED AUTO EXPAND
Enabling your auto-build should set the build limit up to your current tier level. Will follow rules in localization (if you understand how to do localization to display this rule, I’ll wanna talk to you.) and once tier level is it, it looks for the next one that’s available.
Identified additonal locations to incorporate higher economy of scale bonuses as modifiers for unlocking production technologies. Most of these changes are in Era 4. Adjusted amounts given earlier in the tech tree. Changed Tier one to start with manufacturies. Increased tier values to account for higher total throughput.
Changed AI weight table values for technologies so they will pick the ones with economy of scale bonuses that increase the tier level more frequently. Reduced the penalty for the AI to take a tech ahead of time. Increased the AI’s budget for innovation.
