Where is the max city sectors limit defined?

I've been struggling to find this variable.

/title/packs/strategic/globalsettings_strategic.rpk had a very useful variable to adjust how many sectors of any one type you can have. By default its 2, but there are 3 specializations available through tech. I changed it to 3 and now I can indeed have 3 power specializations in the same city, so that works fine.

Its just the total sector limit I can't find. I'm hoping to decrease the number of cities but also allowing cities to be larger, with more sprawl. Sector specializations are still limited to a max of 3 per type, so there will be diminishing returns with very large cities, but thats something I want to tinker with.

Anyone know where the max sector define is? I want to crank it up from 5 to 15, or perhaps even more. Anyone know where this value is located?

Sorry about a slow response, didn't bother checking the forums before today.
I made a mod that increases it to 8, in the discussions there I wrote up all my changes and it describes what you need to do.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1847453158/1638669204730530424/

In short:

Age of Wonders Planetfall\Content\Title\Packs\Strategic\ColonyDefinition_Strategic.rpk

Under the Enitity tab, mod the only entry as follows;

Change the CSV's from (1,1,1,1,1) and (4,8,12,16) to any amount of sectors you want.
In the case of 15 it would, with the same settings for settlers (it gets a lot slower, mind you), be the following:

1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56,60

Note that the CSV with 1's has 16 values as opposed to 15, this is probably because of the original sector counting into this array. There is also a limit on how many colonists a single colony can have, this value is 40 but can be changed to whatever value you feel like (within reason).

Also note that you currently cannot claim sectors further away than 2, I have yet to find the way to change this and thus would not recommend increasing the value to anything above 8.

Hope this helps, cheers.

Awesome, thank you! Been tearing my hair out over this one. I was looking all over that file. I just didn't think to look in the entities section which seemed to do with graphics.

Some of the holdovers from AoW3 threw me. I was thinking it was the domain strength value.

Yeah I got a bit confused about it too, but decided to try every avenue possible in order to learn as much as I could.

Hit me up if you find that 2 sector limit. :P
