Maximum Alleigance

from Sins Forums
So I'm almost undoubtedly sure that the answer to this question is going ot be no, but:

Is it possible to affect the maximum alleigance of a planet by any method other than proximity to your home planet? I would really like a way to set up like regional governerships or something, I feel like vanilla sins punishes you for trying to colonize other star systems... 35% resource/tax income is a pretty ridiculous penalty if you ask me. Makes it almost completely pointless to habitate any system that is not your own.

There is an Advent research option that increases max allegiance by 5%. I'd imagine perhaps from there you can take it in the direction you want.

The file is RESEARCHSUBJECT_ALLEGIANCECAP_INCREASE.entity, and the modifier is a researchFloatModifier with type "AllegianceFromCultureMaxPerc".

Other than that (which is admittedly global), I dunno.. :/

I might be able to work with that. Thanks for the tip! =) I'll keep you posted.

What's wrong with the 35%? Yes, it's not THAT much but it is still a noticable increase. But by the time you spread your empire to other stars you own a LOT of planets anyway so you basically have unlimited money anyway.
It also helps to have the home planet directly connected to a star. With only 2 jumps to other systems the planets there start with 80% or 70% or something like that.

Im not sure where but i am almost positive i saw a file that lists the alligence level of planets up to 8 or 9 spaces from your homeworld going from 100 to 90 and so on down. i just dont remember where ><

Gameplay.constants. I was going to recommend that too but it's also global.

If you had no need for culture in your mod, you could create a "orbital government station" or something, and crank up the allegianceGainFromCultureMax 0.1 setting. This would mess with the normal game's balance, though.

Dude. Lets say you want an ice planet in another system. even three asteroids gives you 1.2 crystal per sec... But instead you get 35% of that, assuming you built a culter center. To keep the planet from draining your resources, you have to spend at least 225 crystal upgrading your planet, plus another 150 crystal for a culture center... 375 crystal to get a max gain of .4 crystal per sec... Not counting the other resources you just spent. The thing would take -hours- to pay for itself.
