Hi there,
I was wondering how to modify faction specs i.e: +50% pollution to say +25% pollution and / or adding an existing stat from one faction to another, as well as knowing if there is a limit to how many unique stats (or perks) a faction can have?

Re: How to modify factions
Well, first make the data folder for mods ( detailed here).
Next you will want to copy the files over from the "World" folder (in the main game directory), specifically the "Factions" folder.
From here you can edit those files. You can just use notepad, but i'd recommend notepad++ (free download).
As for a limit, you will just have to experiment with that yourself.
Also you will also want to copy the "Factions" file, found in "Core\Languages", then select the language you are using ("English" for example).
You need to make sure when you copy it over to the mod folder, that you keep them same folder structure.
This file will show you what is displayed in-game, if you don't change this the bonus' will still work, but the tooltips won't show the change. (Also changing anything here will not effect what it actually is)

Re: How to modify factions
I'm trying to modify the factions with a STEAM bought version of this game but every time I do so, it CTD's immediately upon launch. I get a Runtime Error pointing to ...Pandora\Binaries\Pandora.exe. This CTD is bad enough that it requires a complete uninstall / reinstall to get the game working. I have the Eclipse of Nashira installed so I'm wondering if that has changed anything. Can anyone shed a little light on this for me?
Re: How to modify factions
If you get a CTD after modding, it is most likely that you have done something that is not supported.
I'd start with a very simple change first like just modifying an existing number and not adding any new brackets.
I have modded both steam and non-steam-version and only had modding-related crashes when I tried stuff that I wasn't sure would work in the first place.
If you want a good example for faction-modding you should get this:

Re: How to modify factions
thanks, i'll give this a second try. i don't think i added new brackets, just cut and pasted from existing factions.
