Unlock plane slots
Modified the Plane Designer
– Added at least 14 additional slots in total across the upper and lower panels; *existing slots and their available options will not be affected*
– Increased the maximum limit of modules by ten times
I’m too lazy, so all newly added slots are universal slots. All available options are included, and the manufacturing cost will serve as the limiting factor instead.
### Modified Files
– `common/units/equipment/plane_airframes.txt`
– `interface/plane_designer_view.gui`
### Q&A
#### Slots exist but are locked and unavailable for selection
This is caused by a mod conflict. Check which other mods have modified `plane_airframes.txt`, and manually resolve the conflict by referring to the development guidelines in `README.md`.
#### Does the AI use the ship slots or do they just use preexisting designs?
AI only uses preset templates, and this fact can be verified via the `tag` command in the console.
#### Can the cost be adjusted?
The "cost" is tied to the game’s original design and AI, and it is part of the balance. I apologize, but I still hold a firm commitment to maintaining this balance, so I am reluctant to change this aspect in this mod. If there is significant demand for such an adjustment, I will create a new mod specifically for it.
#### Are there no strategic or tactical weapons?
I initially overlooked this, and later I found there were better alternatives, so I didn’t add them. If there is significant demand from many people, I will include them.
#### Can this mod be adapted for xx mod?
Since each file involved covers a wide area, adapting for other mods would require significant work with each update. Therefore, we do not plan to adapt for various mods. If you are interested, you can refer to the guidelines in the mod files to adapt it yourself. However, you can try adjusting the load order of this mod to override other mod-related content and see if it works properly.
