Changing the Limit on Max Warp Distance on CV Ships

Changing the Limit on Max Warp Distance on CV Ships...

I would like the just change the warp distance limit for CV ships to be much greater. Where would I look for the files to change the system generator to increase that limit drastically and is it possible to do it to a save game too? What would the files be called and do we know the line of code I would be looking for to change that.

If I have the time I would like to spend the time create a more powerful Warp Core for CVs using a homemade 3d model from blender, but that is a long term project.

Thank you!

 

You can do this with a Config.ecf file.

1. Make a copy of the Config_Example.ecf and name it Config.ecf.
2. Search for Warpdrive
3. delete everything else in the file except the warp drive section and the bit at the top with the version number.
4. Change the LY or AU warp distance to whatever you want.

 

Thank you. As a example of where to look (my current install path) "H:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Configuration"

File in that folder Config_Example.ecf . I will copy the config file example and rename it, just want to make sure my syntax isn't messed up somewhere (I know python 3.x is specific with Tab indents as an example).

I know that # is a comment and have a understanding of uses of " { } ".

From part of that file (Coloring file Contents for readability)

# How it works:
# - rename to 'Config.ecf' to activate
# - change original values of parameters as desired
# - listed parameters will overwrite the game's internal original values
# - parameters not listed (commented out / removed) will cause the game to continue using the internal ORIGINAL values

VERSION: 9

Will this will effect the savegame too or is there another config that I need to modify? If I am starting a new co-op survival survival game while hosting does this effect that too (I want it too)?

thank you again

 

This is the only part you need to include within the brackets. Plus the name and block I'd.

 

If I recall, isn't there a limit to the max distance? I believe it was 50Ly.

 

Source?

 

Saw it in a thread a couple of months ago. Will see if I can locate it.

 

There only seems to be a hard limit due to the pentaxid tanks volume capacity. I got my distance on 100ly and it works without a problem.

 

If there is a hard limit it's a real high limit.

I've set mine to 10,000LY as a test and it basically let me warp wherever I wanted to without issues.

 

Did you find the outer ring end of the galaxy? Or the center?
