There is nothing stopping you from choosing one race over another,except that some races depends on supplies from other races for sepcific supplies.
As said above this calculator gives the cheapest available within the paremeters you set.

eg

I try not to use M size stations any more,so my complexes will be more expensive than if I let it choose for me.

When setting up there is a table which shows wether or not any particular resource has a shortfall in production or a surplus.

So if I see there is a 23 shortfall in wheat,then I can add another wheat farm and add spp etc if needed to supply it.
Then i might need another crystal fab.,which might need another silicon mine.
I continue until it is fully self sustaining if possible.
Thus it could get expensive,if you do not have the funds.
So start with something simple and add to it as needed and when funds are available.

Any shortfalls is down to you to see and adjust.
It is not the fault of the calculator.

Adding XADRIAN_LANG=en in the list of enviroment variables did the trick. Guess I have no excuse now to not build huge complexes...

I know this thread is wicked old but I just discovered this tool today as I look to build my first actual complex. OK I do have a Java 6 environment on my Windows 7 machine. It says its Java 6 update 20. I extracted the zip to my x3 tc main folder, tried starting the application and nothing happened. I tried runningit as an administrator and still nothing happened. Wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Try updating to the current Java 6 update 24. I don't know if the old version is the reason for the issue but an update can never hurt.

Also it doesn't matter where you place the contents of the ZIP. Xadrian doesn't need data from your X3 directory.

When you go to the website he has assigned for the download and the login pop up appears, all you do is click cancel and you have normal access, that pop up just allows him to login.

Erm... what are you talking about? Wrong thread? There is no login popup for the download of Xadrian.

It was an added bonus sector to the Steam version.

Version 1.3.3

Post by kayahr » Sat, 6. Aug 11, 20:21

Xadrian 1.3.3 is now available and also has a new home at http://kayahr.github.com/xadrian/. But all links are changed and the old URL redirects to the new one so I hope this change is not causing any trouble.

Changes in version 1.3.3:

» Added sector "Harmony of Perpetuity".
» Added simple Modding Support.

It has all 5 of them. You just need to select which one you have.

Great work, thank you!

I know it's a bit of a long shot, but is there any way that you could make this compatible with power pc macs? I use an old G4 ibook and there is no JRE 1.6 available for it. :(
