Designable Civilian Ships

Might I suggest editing the Science Ship to allow it to have a custom component slot? There seems to be a problem with this mod or perhaps how it interacts with others that makes it so science ships no longer have the ability to cloak. Adding a component slot would allow manually selecting a cloaking field generator.

I think I've found the problem in the mod file 99_civshipdesign

For each ship design it is missing a section to feed the AI a probability that they will build one of the civilian ships. So it defaults to a 0% build probability.

For instance, under the colony ship one needs to add the following code:

ai_ship_data = {
min = value:desired_colonizers
}

The mod is running in parallel with (does not fully replace) the vanilla game file 00_ship_sizes
That file already has the civilian ships on it, and a probability the AI will each of build them.

The game is being fed two files telling it how to manage civilian ships. I think that's why if you manually set up a civilian ship design, then delete the auto-generated design, after a while the game will again set up new auto-generated designs.

I had the same bug as Amon and Chief. AI players will not establish new colonies. I'm in year 95, all 9 AI players have a homeworld and nothing else.

Using console commands to view whats happening in the other Empires I notice:
- They have designs for civilian ships, and the designs are available to build at their starbases.
- However, they will not build ANY civilian ships. No colony ships, construction ships or science ships. They just have 1 science ship and 1 construction ship, the ones they start the game with.
- They will build new warships. And they will research new ship classes and components as normal. Their warship templates will auto-update with new engines, power cores, shields and armour as normal.
- However, their warships all have level 1 weapons, and will not upgrade their ships even if they have the tech and power to do so.

One nice thing I discovered is that you don't need to start a new play through though if you don't want to; just remove the mod from your playset. Save loaded fine; haven't had any issues with the ship designer (other than no more designable civilian ships) and the ai empires started building colonies within a year.

So I did grand admiral up until year 2225 and used a science ship you get from an event that has a psi jump drive I think (unshrouded ship) and then jumped around the galaxy trying to meet all of the ai empires. The only ai empires that had more then 1 colony (other than marauders and fallen) were corporations empires. So my guess is this mod doesn't break / touch the private colony ships that ai corporations can make but it does break the regular colony ships for the ai empires :(

not sure, I started a new run and waiting to see if I get the issue Amon Grabmore and Chief mentioned

still work on 3.9.1？
