Build: 1.5.6 3446 Mode: Survial Mode: Singleplayer SERVER NAME: None SEED-ID: 884059 If applicable: MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: DontKnow Reproducibility: Always Severity: Major Type: Global Summary: POIs can't be re-cored since 1.5 Description: Prior to 1.5 in SP you could re-core POI's and use them as bases or vessels. Now EVERYTHING is set a regeneratable to protect the storyline. For MP this makes sense. For SP it breaks gameplay. A single player should be able to own a structure. This totally breaks a very common gameplay strategy. Not being able to re-core also means the MultiTool returns only parts not items like generators or constructors to be fed to the Factory or reused elsewhere. Also disallows POI's to be captured as Bases. It's a Survival game, you would TOTALLY reuse a Drone base or rebuild a CV floating in a minefield (553 for example, which I've rebuilt into a starter CV several times). Additionally, once the Storyline has reached the point where a POI has done it's task (UCH Heidelberg for example) it should be allowed to be re-cored; it's job is done (but I get if that's not a possibility, but related). One other thing (I suspect unintended) caused by this Regeneratable Core issue is that a POI can now be raided over and over by blowing the core and waiting a bit for it to regenerate. Basically limitless looting. Did you INTEND that? A player can round robin the Starter POI's without limit. Sorry so long. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Kill core on any POI 2) Attempt to insert Player core 3) Beat head on desk ;-) Screenshots, Crash Logs, any other Relevant Information or Download links: Don't think you need it but Save Game: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N143vs4xviWx_vLRekvkZ01kWCG3RwD8/view?usp=sharing
You need to open the gameoptions.yaml in the save game folder & set this flag to false: RegeneratePOIs: true then save the file & start the client & load in to the save game. Why this was set to true initailly for you I don't know. The stock gameoptions.yaml has it set to false for SP which you can see in this attached copy which is stock & no edited which is available through steam.
Interesting ... Was JUST having a discussion with @ravien_ff about that, he kept telling me to check it while I kept telling him I was on virgin config files since 1.5 released. Odd. Thanks so much for the quick reply, you all Rock! Even if you can't fix the water physics ... HA! (Ducks the thrown shoe) I'll change it now and report. Thx again! EDIT: Should I just dump in this virgin file you linked instead? I don't mess with the configs except for upping the # of solar panels on a base (long time back), so virgin is good for me.
So make sure as mentioned to changed regen to false & as for the file I attached you can place it in your "Default Random" scenario folder here & replace the current one you have there: Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Scenarios\Default Random
