[Question] How to make a ship invulnerable

[Jaxartes]

I would like to make a construction ship which is attached to a station invulnerable, how do I do that?

[burger1]

Maybe try setting the hull of the four construction ships to -1 or a really large number and see what happens? -1 might not work?

\assets\units\size_xl\Macros

units_size_xl_builder_ship_dv_macro
units_size_xl_builder_ship_macro
units_size_xl_builder_ship_ol_macro
units_size_xl_builder_ship_plot_01_macro

change
<hull max="1400000" />

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't mean to change the CV's in general, I wanted just specific ones to to be invulnerable, so I think I have to change the save somewhere.

Savegame Editing is a possibility, but i wont support that for another purpose than Mod Compatibility because its effectively more work than a proper solution in most cases..

i would suggest an MD script which sets the Plot-Invulnearable Flag when a CV deploys. (currently not at home, so cannt look up whats necesary for that)

alternatively i think its possible to assign a new CV to aa Station, doing this is about the same amount of work as the previous approach i think.. maybe a little bit more

Rename your construction vessel so you can find it using the control F search function. I named this construction vessel Construction Vessel Albion. There's a <hull value= in the save file. Change it to something else?

You can change the minimum limit for the hull.

Find the ship in the savegame and add a min attribute.
e.g <hull min="1000"/>

Keep in mind that that would be just for the ship, not the different things on it.

Thank you, I will test this and come back if I manage anything.

Setting hull min= to a value worked, thanks for the help.
