[INFO] Is there somewhere a discription about the different xml files?

[brammie]

Hi,

I've been loooking thru the directories and xml file's and have a pretty good idea how all configuration of the universe works. Im just thinking that i am missing something.

I've mainly looked at the component tree's, production tree's and build trees of structures to see if i can make a spreadsheet or tool so i can easely make a list of stuff i need to build a station with different extensions.

Also nice to see and lookup where in the galaxy what is produced.

So, anyone know where to find a description explaining everything?
Or should we start our own documentation here?

Ah, jeah

The fun part starts after that though,
scan and import the
maps\XU_ep1_universe\*
files

then lookup (directly or by the index file's) the build trees and different components in the
assets\structures\build_trees\Macros
and
assets\structures\Economy

and go calculate the production and consumption per station.

took a while though to see how everything was linked and where everything was. Lot of questions here are about that, where can i find XXX to modify something.

So i was asking more like, is there some documentation or do we(players/modders) need to reverse everything, and if we reverse it, lets start a thread describing some xml file's how they are used and where we can find stuff.

like hacking range:
in assets\props\SurfaceElements\Macros\unit_player_drone_hackerprobe_macro.xml
there is a value,

<hack range="1000" angle="15" />

is that the correct one? or does it gets modified somwewhere??

I see what you mean Sadly there isn't any documantation past the inline ones we see and the MD guide stickied at the top of the forum. I'm sure a collation of files + locations would be most appreciated by noobs like myself working our the files as we go along

As for the drone range - in game we need to be within <50m to hack, and the control range is far over 1000m so what that part refers to I can't tell you.
