@Wairui you're welcome :) yep, assuming no major changes to that mod's implementation, my advice should still be applicable

p.s. another thank you for keeping subscribers informed in the 'Change Notes'. :-)

Wow, thank you for your creation. You've clearly applied a tremendous amount of game experience and effort into this mod. I'll will use it along with AI Game Performance Optimisation 4.2 . I assume from your 18 Jun advice still holds with the two mods?

Updated for Stellaris 4.2 (just a version bump)

Thank you for maintaining this mod

Very nice

GOAT

@Duke Fontaine yes, they should work fine together, if you turn that mod's relay option off
If you leave it on, the AI won't build relays normally, but they'll still get this mods once-per-year construction-ship-less build

Would this mod conflict with the "AI Game Performance Optimization 4.0" mod, assuming the related hyper relay option is turned off?

Appreciate the quick reply, thanks for this!

there's a minor AI conflict but nothing gamebreaking. I'll fix that, but they should be safe to use together in the meantime, just not optimal AI (but still better than vanilla)

It sounds like tis mod might conflict with Shrouded Regions , but I may be mistaken as that mod generates hyper relay networks during map generation.

@danst31 I don't think so, but that's a good idea!

@wairui glad you fixed it! I'll look into that mod but not sure why that'd happen. I only overwrite the hyper relay megastructure

Is the mega shipyard also a priority destination for the AI?

CTD fixed.
Upon double-checking my mods, there is one mod called "Bypass Adjustments" It changes behaviours of wormholes, gateways, and L-gates. On a whim, I switched the two in the load order (Smarter Hyper Relays came after the above) and Stellaris loaded fine. Since the Bypass Adjustments mod appears not to do anything with Hyper-relays... would the other types of movement short-cuts interact with hyper-relays?

This mod caused Stellaris to CTD upon loading. Stellaris is updated to May 21st. AFAIK, no other mod touches on hyperlane code. I have no "Total Conversion" mods.

@Rin Palora you can always remove them with a console command. See my comment on April 22, 2023

Yup the moment I saw that the AI had Hyper Relays I instantly remembered the mod existed, hopefully the galactic highway isn't already ruined in the save ^^.

Thanks for all the updates.

Btw, the 4.0 vanilla AI has gotten worse at building hyper relays. They used to use trade routes to help them decide where to build (they could make something kinda sensible by building relays along routes), but now trade routes are gone... making this mod all the more relevant.

Okay, thanks.

@martok I haven't tested, but I think there would be some bugs with hyper relay build cost
You can grab the previous version on github here: https://github.com/oatmealproblem/michael-makes-stellaris-mods/tree/1796e8522edb0075a57aae0fca49042049b7c79e
Click the green "Code" button then "Download ZIP" (and google how to manually install Stellaris mods)

Is this backwards-compatible with v3.14 at all?

Updated for Stellaris 4.0

@2212569189 能用

现在能用吗

I always appreciate bug reports :) thanks
Glad to hear your save is working

Didn't think it would be Super useful info but figured it probably wouldn't hurt
and it did not crash after restarting the game anyway

@youtubitz I appreciate the bug report! but 2 pieces of bad news for you:

1. That line that generated the error is actually vanilla code. (Due to how overwriting works, it appears in my file.) I'll try to investigate a bit and pass on a bug report to the devs.

2. 99+% of the time, the error log is unrelated to the cause of the crash. The error log generally only shows errors that the game "recovered" from. To diagnose a crash, you need a save just before the crash, then try disabling mods (or parts of mods) until you find the one that's causing the crash. However, sometimes disabling a mod can cause a different crash, so that's not always feasible.

i can give more of the log that was just to top bit

If i read the Crash log Right i think a Hyper relay (or relays) have caused a Crash, the log name dropped this mod

Yep

Hey is this fine for 3.14?

Hey thanks for the quick reply and for the mod itself Michael!

@Skylingale this should still work just fine. I've been busy with work/social obligations. At this point, I'll probably wait until 3.14 to update (but that's just bumping the version number, and a small change to a tooltip)

Anyone try this banger with 3.13 yet? Does it still work?

@Null thanks! Like you want the numbers showing up on the galaxy map? I don't think that's possible

Great mod by the way

Anybody know of any mods where I can number parts of my hyper relay networks as though they were roads? I yearn to create an interstellar highway

@17blue17 been busy with a new job. It's now updated. Also added the ability the dismantle hyper relays, which was added in one of the 3.12 patches, but missing in my overwrite

Paradox changed the format for supported version to add a v so supported_version="v3.12.*" for the 3.12.5 patch. Please update. Thanks!

@zeiaxar and others
shrimpAI now supports total conversion mods via a separate mod: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3241944359
Legacy of the Old Republic is supported now, and Star Wars: New Dawn will be supported with its next release

@Teridax ah, ok. Should be possible... I haven't touched the core logic of this mod for a long time; I'll look into it

I know that. What I mean is both members try to connect to each other independently, build up to the border and meet there. Would that be possible?

@Teridax you can't build hyper relays in federation members, only subjects.
Are you using a mod that allows that?

Could you include Federation members in the logic?
Connecting capitals is important. Isolated sectors less so, but would be a nice bonus.

Alongside the 3.12 update, I made some major changes under the hood to prepare support for total conversion mods. I recommend unsubscribing and resubscribing.

Despite said changes, this should continue to be compatible for earlier versions and in-progress games (though you might notice the AI stops building relays for about 1 year).

Awesome, will definitely try this out then!

@DrStrangelove05 yep

Would this be compatible with Startech AI?
