2.2 compatible ? is it still compatible ?
Xrona 28 Apr, 2018 @ 7:39am 
Version 2.0.4 of the mod is still relevant. :2017stickytube: Some AIs are not able to build farms in the right amount and are starving)
Gbrille 28 Mar, 2018 @ 2:06am 
Ok thanks ill use it again.
Spirit 12 Mar, 2018 @ 10:14pm 
is it even compatible with 2.0 ?
Champin Playr 9 Mar, 2018 @ 1:58pm 
Yes, even with Glavius mod i've found one empire that starved itself to almost death.
Gbrille 22 Feb, 2018 @ 4:14pm 
Still required in 2.0 ?
Thadom570 7 Oct, 2017 @ 10:42am 
I'm not playing with it until someone, answers if it's needed or not.

Will this be redundant after Capek?
CrazyIvanTR 9 Sep, 2017 @ 11:02am 
My AIs have an overabundance of food instead :|
Jach 30 Jun, 2017 @ 11:53am 
Weird mod. Thanks to the horrible AI I need them starving as I can make deals with them by offering food.
Thadom570 27 May, 2017 @ 7:01pm 
love it update 1.6.1

I enjoy when the AI starves itself. That's what it gets for trying to expand too fast at the expense of building good infrastructure. This mod is almost rewarding bad behaviour. I have no idea why the devs didn't simply make the AI respect tile resources and then build science and unity buildings on the empty tiles. That alone would give the AI empire well designed planets and take no real programming effort.

It still works, and is sadly still needed.
Champin Playr 20 May, 2017 @ 3:52am 
Guys. it should working even without update
sen 20 May, 2017 @ 3:48am 
Still waiting for a fix man, please update this! It's a fantastic mod, and it would be a real shame to see it go to waste.
鸡JJJJJJJJJJJJJ 14 May, 2017 @ 1:16am 
plz update
Zag14 12 May, 2017 @ 5:48pm 
still needed, plz update this mod
Champin Playr 12 May, 2017 @ 1:39am 
Yeah, they did not fix that bug, so mod is still needed
Nox 10 May, 2017 @ 1:22pm 
Will this mod be updated to patch 1.6?
Hijacker 7 May, 2017 @ 7:06am 
There is still a problem with the AI. Food is fine, no starving anymore. But they still scrap their buldings for no reason.

@thesnowfox84:
No, it just fills the AIs stock to max (which as far as I know is always 200), everything else is just lost in the nether. This prevents the AI from starving, but doesn't give them a growth bonus if they're in negative food.

The only slight problem is that AIs, unlike players, will basically "start" with a fiull stockpile, but overall an elegant solution.

1.6 does indeed fix the problem though, dev says that in post #33 in the thread linked below.

@Koinzell Wiz said it later in the thread
thesnowfox84 4 May, 2017 @ 7:03pm 
wouldn't this make there population grow insanly fast or no? :2016roasted:
Ada ⚢ 4 May, 2017 @ 2:48pm 
@Spectre, where in the patch notes does it say that? it only says it fixes some stuff with sectors that's food related, nothing about the normal AI
eXitus 4 May, 2017 @ 9:29am 
Thx for the fix mate. How could QA not have found this? Took me like 2hours to find out something was wrong. This issue is rather obvious and 100% reproducible :steamfacepalm:
I would even take this mod as a proper hotfix for the game until they tweak the AI properly for the global food mechanics.
Doc 3 May, 2017 @ 10:48pm 
So sad that this is needed.
GrumpyPlok616 3 May, 2017 @ 3:20pm 
I love your fix, lets just give them 5000 food
Killerkitty641 3 May, 2017 @ 11:58am 
Okay done. It's pretty average, but I wanted to help. Give me a way to send it to you
Killerkitty641 3 May, 2017 @ 11:50am 
You need to add an image with Salt Bae sprikling food. I will make one for you.
Spatula_Khan 3 May, 2017 @ 9:32am 
Yeah i had an ally with 31 pops, producing 10 food... Thanks for the mod!
Thrawn 3 May, 2017 @ 1:09am 
The AI is broken in 1.5.1 unfortunately... They can't properly manage resources, build what they need etc. Often AI empires won't build enough assault armies to capture planets and win wars.
Dazz Aephiex 3 May, 2017 @ 12:55am 
What about using a hidden policy?


hidden_policy = {

potential = { is_ai = yes }

option = {
name = "player_only"
potential = { is_ai = no }
}

option = {
name = "ai_only"
potential = { is_ai = yes }
modifier = { country_resource_food_add = 5000 }
}

}
jamie_van 2 May, 2017 @ 3:05pm 
I have the Exact opposite problem The AI builds like 6 or 7 farms per planet.
Chrom 2 May, 2017 @ 7:46am 
I have trouble figuring out if I need this, or something like it for en./min.

Seems 1.5 needs some AI tweaking.
Critical32 2 May, 2017 @ 4:06am 
Thanks
Broseph 2 May, 2017 @ 3:40am 
It's not just food though and it doesn't happen in every game. Seems random, non-dependent on difficulty. Seen 30+ planet empires without a single building, AI empires ignoring energy but building everything else, some ignoring food while building everything else. Something whack is up since 1.5.
Karina 2 May, 2017 @ 2:21am 
Do not use this mod. Starving AI is good source of minerals- it will give very good deals when its starving. Like, 70 food for 180 minerals.

Rickahay, food is always good- it contributes towards pop growth.
Rickashay 1 May, 2017 @ 7:20pm 
I've noticed the opposite problem in my games, the ai making WAY more food than they need. To the point where they are coving over half their other resource tiles with farms. Like I'll take 4-5 planets and it adds like 50-60 more food to my overflow food, which is wayyy more than I need. Sounds like some bugs going on.
Cytrix Drakani 1 May, 2017 @ 12:51pm 
dont know what the guys below are talking about, i've started a 6 AI game, and by the time i met the original 6, there was 13 empires, and most of them were rebels because of starvation. the rebels even had rebels
SumYungGuy 1 May, 2017 @ 10:36am 
No it happens on insane too.
SadisticNemesis 1 May, 2017 @ 9:14am 
Honestly I've never had this issue on hard, normal mode is super easy as it is and is likely where this bug is happening?
itslikethis 30 Apr, 2017 @ 8:46pm 
thanks bud
Sims_doc 30 Apr, 2017 @ 3:02pm 
I've never encounted AI starving, It's that or they don't want to trade for food.
Dolorem Kot 30 Apr, 2017 @ 11:19am 
THANK YOU MAN!
