Title: Upgrades/effects enhancing produce and repair speeds.
Post by: John.d.h on 10 December 2010, 21:50:50

Currently, effects and upgrades can enhance production and harvest speed, but (AFAIK) not build or repair speed.

nor can it affect morph speed (this would come in handy with my mod)

Code: [Select]

case SkillClass::PRODUCE:
case SkillClass::UPGRADE:
case SkillClass::MORPH:
speed =  speed * prodSpeedMult + prodSpeed;
break;

case SkillClass::BUILD:
case SkillClass::REPAIR:
speed =  speed * repairSpeedMult + repairSpeed;
break;

So, enhancing 'production speed' enhances produce, upgrade, and morph skills. Enhancing 'repair speed' enhances repair and build skills.

Seems ok at first glance, but maybe a bit restrictive ??

Hmm... depends on if anyone would want to enhance a unit's repair speed without enhancing build speed, or vice versa.  Personally, I'd be fine with keeping them together, but I don't know how others might want to use it.

Maybe have a set of meta-multipliers (production-speed and construction-speed), and also allow the modder to specify individually (build-speed, repair-speed, morph-speed, etc.)?  Does that sound sensible?

"shiny_new_hammers" => +50 construction-speed
"autocad" => +100 build-speed
"duct_tape" => x3.5 repair-speed

"sophisticated_tool_use" => +100 production-speed
"steroids" => x1.5 morph-speed
"leeches" => +30 repair-speed
"assembly_lines" => +300 produce-speed
