I have a mod request related to this.
The game rule that has Earth unable to send food, an alternate game rule that will allow you to send food to earth and get paid for it. This would be interesting. Not sure how you'd go about doing it though since ships can only be stocked with rich metals and sent back. Maybe a fake rival that doesn't appear on the map at all called Earth and it always requests food for income at trade pads?

@Chakat, I'll check it out.

this game-rule is marked incompatible with Chaos theory.

@rdr99, It was another modders game rules stepping on the games rules mechanics. After I contacted the modder and showed him how to code the game rules to fit right, it worked. Nothing on my end.

@SkiRich... I think he means that the game rules no longer appear if he enables this mod. That happened to me too. I think another mod that does things to farming is getting in the way, perhaps having to do with automated farming or farming tech in general that may have been modified by another mod author.

@optimusgd, I'm not sure what you mean. Post a screenshot to the bug reports discussion in this mod.

Not working for me - it cut new game creation screen rules list if enabled.

Yeah. I’m bored with gameplay since I basically did it all. I even built a 5000 person self sustaining colony. So I decided to be helpfull on the forum and code in my spare time stuff that people wish were in the game. This one was made for people playin chaos theory. That rule busts your nuts early on and more often than not leads to a dead colony due to food. This rule gives you at least a chance to move farther on.

@SkiRich... Woah... you have certainly been prolific! You are obviously having as much or more fun out of modding this game as you have had playing it. We are all certainly grateful for this penchant of yours. Most of the "game rules" I have looked at are like poking yourself in the eye with a sharp stick. Why people do that I don't know, but this one is actually helpful. Atta Boy!
