Recently started playing this mod and this has been a pain every time I finish an early United Empire story quest that give you a hero with 4 skill points that balloons to 100 Dust cost to maintain: not a fun road block of either destroy the Dust or just not use a part of the game.

What is the intended response here? it feels like all players making this type of comment just have to unassign their leader. is that really the intended purpose of the upkeep cost change? if so, could you elaborate on the rationale and it seems like an odd choice. thanks for all your efforts Kuma

Does anyone know how to edit the mod to change the hero upkeep? This upkeep cost is very silly and kinda game ruining.

Edit:

Ok after digging around for a while I figured out how to revert the upkeep to default values:

The upkeep value calculation is found in the


file in the steam workshop folder for ES2. the pathway for me was


Your path may look slightly different maybe (I dont know if numbers change between users).. Anyway open up the "SimulationDescriptors[Hero].xml" file in notepad++ and here you can change the upkeep values back to the default. The way I did it was I looked at the file from the base game and copied & replaced anything related to upkeep across to the mod file.

This fixed my problem and now Enhanced Space 2 game is playable again without bankrupting my entire galactic empire from a single hero from quest reward. Yay!
