Neither of those are hardcoded - it is either a bad YAML mod file or another mod and load order.

I've only got the UCP mod in the Mod folder, so it is only the YAML from UCP at the moment - those don't have any changes to them.

The Modding folder in the main directory has the standard stats - why I queried whether it may have been hard-coded in UCP's dll ... just odd.

Does MOO use caching or some temporary files that might not be cleared out that's overriding it? Haven't grabbed the DLC, although the functionality seems fine for all of it, just the new races aren't accessible.

Are you attempting to edit the "modding" folder in the main game location? That does not work

Otherwise a single misplaced space/character will cause the game to reject the entire YAML file and not load it.

Nah just the mod folder in My Documents. Did a uninstall/reinstall, it's working fine now. Not sure what happened but probably user error somewhere :) Thanks for trying to help
