AI Behavior

[Shoobs]

Is there a way to increase the number of science vessels and or construction vessels an AI empire will use to try to make them overall more capable of exploring and expanding their borders?

Make a new mod from the launcher and clone \common\country_types\00_country_types.txt

Edit the following in the default = { country_type section:

ship_data = {
            constructor = {
                min = 3
                max = 3
            }

            science    = {
                min = 3
                max = 3
            }

            colonizer = {
                min = 1
                max = 1
            }

Congratulations, you have just made your first mod.

I've made and modified mods in the past. But thank you. I was at a complete loss as to Where this file was located.
This didn't cause the behavior I was hoping for, which is more early game exploration fleets.. hm.

You might have to adjust \common\ai_budget\ and \economic_plans\ for greater expenses, or gift resources to AI and run a test.
