Which XML File Has Galaxy- Star Frequency Data?

September 22, 2015 10:32:08 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

As the title says I'm looking to change the files that control how many stars are on a map.  In an immense or higher map even rare has too many stars.  I would like to create a very sparse galaxy.

Also, if you know which XML file contains the various resources?  

Thanks

It's controlled by the 'base' number in mapsizedefs.xml. Each map size has Base listed, and this number is then modified by the Stars modifier for frequency in mapsetupdefs.xml.

Thank you for the response.  So how does the "stars" modifier in MapSetupDefs.xml interact with that value?

I believe it's a multiplier - so if you have a base of 50 and a stars modifier of 0.1, then you'd get 10% of 50 = 5 stars.

Another question if I may.  What XML is the large empire penalty located in?  Or is is spread out in many files?

It's in galciv3globaldefs.xml and is the 'intercolonymods' modifier.
