you lost me at research

lol, yea, was looking at this thinking that sounds great... but if it adds every race like a habitat does instead of just teaching the existing station crew... gonna have to pass on it sounds like it would break any and most existing stations. :(

that is your choice.

Yeh, gunna have to get rid of the academy's. I put together my HQ's production line carefully (such that it only effectively operates at full workforce capacity) and the "layoffs" that the lack of appropriate foods are causing have already tanked my workforce of 40,000 from 100% efficency to 80% efficency, and I have only built the split academy.

Let me know if you release a version that does not also add racial workforce with the racial academy's, cause its not worth adding 4-6 whole production lines just so I can feed those 750 members of each additional race the academies add.

Any chance you can change it so that the academies don't acutally provide population?
My previously all-terran setup is now screwed up because it is now requiring me to import the food for basically every other race out there.

Does this work with replenishing crew at shipyards you own, or only on new ships you build and the crews you give them as part of their construction?

i see the research started the argon one first needs split warriors i can not transfer crew and dont see a com options those are the only two things i could think to try can anyone help me figure out to do these

@Kalisa Nerfing crew level can be done easily yeah, but I'd probably make an in-game options menu for it rather than releasing a different version since I don't want to maintain two versions of the same mod. I'm pretty busy right now though so I don't know when I will get around to it. Until then, for anyone interested in tweaking the numbers themselves, the code that sets crew level in this mod is in md/academyscript.xml.

For NPCs that spawn on stations, it is handled by a completely different system and isn't something that can be easily modded.

would you consider making a lite version of this? trying to find good skill training mods that are not so strong, even getting most crew at level 2 stars, and maybe having level 3 crew spawn on said stations to "recruit" would be nice.

I started a custom game with completed story and I don't see the research from your mod in the research tab.

Weird. Can you see the research in the research tab of the custom gamestart creator?

Hello. I started a new game and when I unlocked the research, the ones added by your mod are not in the list of available ones.

@EmpCris It's possible but requires a bit of work to integrate with how the mod currently works so I won't make any promises.

@spektyr It's complicated on purpose. There are plenty of other crew level mods available that are more simple and easy to use, so this one was made for those who wanted something more involving. This is unlikely to change. Sorry!

@JoKirClown TTV Did they not add something like this to vanilla with 4.0? I haven't tried terraforming myself yet but it's supposed to enable crew training iirc. Otherwise I believe there's a mod that lets you assign ships as academies for training existing crew, it might be closer to what you're looking for?

Also, egosoft currently have plans to change how the underlying crew spawning system works, so this mod is a bit on ice until their work on that is done.

Or perhaps you assign the ship to the station and that is how they gain levels

I would be more likely to use this if it was more like you dock a ship at a station with an academy and as long as it is docked the crew levels up per academy attached. I would set up seperate stations for my Management training and such for better organization and accessability.

The problem is the habitat component. Well, that and the massive amount of illegal goods required to build them. WTF?

So if I want to build a shipyard with acadamies to produce decently-ranked crews for ships I build, I have to supply literally every kind of food except MREs to keep the population fed because I can't restrict it to just one race for simplicity.

would it be possible to add the academy for Terran as well?

Will this allow me to select which race a crew comes as? I only want Argon Marines and Terran service crew/captains. Or maybe that could be done as a separate mod?

Can you perhaps make a version without the need for research? I use the story disabler, because I hate the awful PHQ, plus I like freeplay. However, this stops me from being able to research anything from this mod.

It works with Beta 4.0 , thx.

@Merhaf Added, thanks!

@[23.] Kielschwein I have updated the mod to (hopefully!) make it compatible with 4.0's new research system. Let me know if there are any other problems!

Can you add a Korean translation? please, thank you.

Is this Mod compatible with Beta 4.0 ?

this is a task for the DEVs i think, thanks for the mod. With the new skill system I wonder why this feature isnt in the base game included!

Ok, thanks for the response!

The academy modules will disappear from stations and there might be leftover data from the mod in your save that won't be cleaned out.

The save might still work as normal after uninstalling but I can't guarantee it, that's why there's a warning. :)

What happens if you unistall?

because it's only a few days old...

This looks great. Waiting for feedback to try it out. Don't know how it hasn't got more attention!

Especially for a mod that extends the research

Nice idea, was waiting for that. Thank you, will try it out
