Shield Generator Rebalancing

 
### CHANGES TO BE MADE IN BLOCKSCONFIG.ECL ### 
1. Locate your ESG configuration folder at \Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion – Galactic Survival\Content\Configuration 
2. Edit BlocksConfig.ecg with a decent text editor like UltraEdit or Notepad+ 
 
This rebalances shields to make them more realistic and with less extreme energy requirements. 

• SV from 4000 shield 3600 energy (360 idle) -> 20,000 shield, 200 enerngy (20 idle) 
• CV from 18000 shield 18000 energy (800 idle) -> 40,000 shield, 400 energy (40 idle) 
• HV from 6000 shield 3600 energy (360 idle) -> 50,000 shield, 500 energy (50 idle) 
• CV2 from 36000 shield 1600 energy (xxx idle) -> 75,000 shield, 750 energy (75 idle) 
• BA from 25000 shield 1000 energy (25000 idle) -> 75,000 shield, 750 energy (75 idle) 
• BA2 from 50000 shield 50000 energy (1500 idle) -> 90,000 shield, 900 energy (90 idle)

Teleporter Rebalancing

 
The energy consumption of active teleporters is too high to make remote bases viable without huge amounts of solar panels or grinding promethium all the time. 
 
1. Continue to edit BlocksConfig.ecl 
 
2. Locate Block Id: 1315, Name: TeleporterCV 
 
change: 
 

 
to 
 

 
Base Teleporter change 
 
3. Locate Block Id: 1377, Name: TeleporterBA 
 
change:

to:

• AllowPlacingAt: “Base,MS”, display: true 
• TechTreeNames: “Base,Capital Vessel”

Weapon Rebalancing

 
### CHANGES TO BE MADE IN ITEMSCONFIG.ECL ### 
1. Locate your ESG configuration folder at \Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion – Galactic Survival\Content\Configuration 
2. Edit ItemsConfig.ecg with a decent text editor like UltraEdit or Notepad+
