@Gawquon How about for the latest update? (4.1)

It should.

I don't guess this still works?

Good thing I found this mod, the fact that the AI was taking random systems multiple jumps away from their borders was annoying me. It never happens on the console edition (at least not until the AI discovers wormhole travel) so it pissed me off that it happens on PC.

Ran some tests, mod still works for me.

Thanks, good to know you are still around.

I'll look at it when I get time

It looks like with 3.6.1 the AI is makimg starbases up to two jumps away from its border.

Thanks for looking into it again I appreciate it!

If anyone observes the AI ignoring this please let me know.

Ok so I realized the problem which was silly, one of the updates after I stopped playing stellaris introduced a bug where local copies of a mod would break the downloaded one. This only should have broken the mod for me and I would think it should have been fine for anyone else. Regardless the public version is now working for me and should for everyone.

It has not, I have been unable to determine the problem and have not had time to revisit this.

I notice the mod Author said they would look into fixing an issue in this mod back in early may... I was curious if said issue got resolved? Thanks

Thank you for looking into it.

Also observed between normal empires, time to go hunting in the files

Hmm, it is broken (I'm seeing that now running some tests) although I have no idea why as Paradox did not change the relevant sections of the defines files, which is why I thought it should still work. Depending on how it is broken, there may or may not be a fix. So far I've only observed federation members jumping over each other, so some federation code might be the culprit. I'll set up a few more tests and see if I can diagnose it.

I started a new game and noticed the AI is still system jumping. So maybe logic issues?

@g0ldheart_rr - The warning might complain about versions but it should still work. I'll check and update the version number soon though.

Can this be updated?

This mod is still relevent, the AI jumps all the time in non-sensical ways without it, I'm still subbing it, lol

Love this mod

Should be. The mod was good while we needed it though. Thanks champ. And maybe people will prefer three jumps after the patch.

@King Star King
Sadly it disables achievements. Even though it is a very minor change it does change a gameplay file which disables achievements. Some good news though is that in Beta Patch 2.3.2 they reduced the amount of systems the AI can jump from 5 down to 2. The whole AI expanding through forced open-borders after a war will still be a problem but it may be good enough to not want this mod.

do this mod affects achivments? do i still get them? this is only mode i use.

Started by using the other mod, but am switching to this one because an ai that I went to war with to pen it into a corner is now expanding around me, because of post-war truce. Paradox should fix that.

@sokayha
Wow thanks, I knew about the other file thing but I made a dumb mistake when I forgot about putting the NAI = {} part. I'll update this immediately thank you.

Hi:

Your mod just need to put
--
NAI = {
MAX_EXPANSION_DISTANCE = 1 # Max number of jumps away AI will build starbases
MAX_EXPANSION_DISTANCE_SUBJECT = 1 # Max number of jumps away AI subjects will build starbases
}

--
these two lines in your define file, and need to use other file name such as naisj_defines.txt

or you will have a lot of conflict with other mods.

@MihaP
Not in this fix. And I don't think one could disable it outright. Although it is possible to make the cost of expanding into a non-adjacent system cost more than the influence cap.

thanks for this fix!

Would you also disable system jumping for players?
