It fixes some errors in edifice.bst and aibldreq.bin (many thanks to thunderchero for reporting some of these), as well as double ship entries in the documentation.
The only "real" change (apart from fixes) is the customization of initial buildings in colonies. Farms have been left as before (they're obviously needed
), but the usual factory has been changed (except for Klingons): Cardassians now get a Shadow Team, the Federation a University, the Ferengi a Power Exchange, and the Romulans an Intel Center.========
About the Cross-Upgrading Issue
There are occasions on which cross-upgrading a "foreign" base structure to a more advanced structure of one's own is not possible, even when fulfilling the respective tech requirements.
Example: upgrading Klingon foundries to Cardassian assembly yards
I've now found the reason (or at least I think so
).Say someone is playing as Cardassians and has conquered a Klingon system with Class 3 Foundries. BotF now reads the respective tech requirement (Construction 4) and looks for a superior Cardassian assembly yard. However, it does not look at the tech requirements, but it just counts buildings, starting with the Type 1 Assembly Yard.
Since the current building type requires Construction 4, it can only be upgraded to Type 5 Assembly Yards (if they're numbered the usual way), regardless of the tech requirements.
