Final Frontier Plus: A Modmod of Final Frontier Version 1.84 Released 8/25/15
You will always find the current version of the patch and the latest version of the mod to download here.
Download Main Mod (1) (v1.83): This download requires you to still have Final Frontier on your computer.
Download Main Mod (2) (v1.83): This download does not require you to still have Final Frontier, but is larger.
Download Main Mod + Patch (3) (v1.83): This download contains the entire installation, without an installer, if the installer does not currently work for you.
Download Latest Patch (v1.84): This patch installer requires the main mod to be installed.
Download Mod Platform Version (v1.0): This download is only for modders who wish to merge FF+ with their own mods. It will not run on its own. See the Readme or the Modder's Guide for more.
Option 1: Download the mod from "Mirror 1" (here on CFC). This requires you to still have Final Frontier installed- in other words, you can't have removed it from the Beyond the Sword\Mods directory. It also requires that copy of Final Frontier to be unaltered in any way from the original. (Well, you can have installed mapscripts like SpiralGalaxy and Final FrontierFlat, but that's about it).
This download contains an executable which copies your Final Frontier directory and then installes the FF+ files over it. Since it only contains the files changed by Final Frontier Plus, it is fairly small (about 6 MB).
Option 2: Alternatively, if you've removed your Final Frontier mod folder from Beyond the Sword\Mods to free up some space (as I can't see why you'd remove it otherwise), or if you've modded it, you should download it from "Mirror 2" on WePlayCiv. This download is larger, but not too large- it's only 32 MB, where some mods are over 100 MB in size.
For either install method, or for installing a patch, all you need to do is run the included executable.

Bugfixes (but, unfortunately, not for everything- the Pirates still don't spawn anything heavier than a Destroyer), AI adjustments by God-Emperor, and a lot of new XML tags comprise the bulk of this release.
I haven't yet updated the modder's guide section on all these new tags, but I will get to it eventually.
I'd also like to release the first version of the Mod Platform on this version (assuming there are no major bugs), but that won't be out anytime soon, I'm afraid.
Okay, here is patch 1.61, fixing all the bugs reported by God-Emperor this morning:
-Fixed bug where all upgrade costs were 0
-Fixed bug with the Star Fortress graphics
-Fixed bug with the nukes (nuking capitals)
-Pirates can't spawn Delta Battleship until Galactic Era
I wanted to get this out there now, rather than wait any longer for any more bugs, as the first bug was extremely gamebreaking.

I'm getting a CRC error on the zip file; tried it twice. Is it just me? Errrr... on the main file with the whole game (the Main Mod 2 file, not the patch).

-Fixed bug where Extraction Facilities were unbuildable
-Fixed bug where buildings orbited the solar system at the wrong place
-Fixed the Planet Info Screen to display info about the 6th planet correctly
I've released patch 1.63. This fixes the bug in the DLL causing yield overrides to be calculated incorrectly, and also fixes a Worldbuilder issue (adding resources to planets). Full changelog:
-Fixed bug with yields from buildings, traits, and trade routes
-Fixed bug in Worldbuilder when adding resources to solar systems
-Changed hardcoded BUILDING_PALACE to use global define
-Added iCostModIncrease tags for all UBs
I'll post a Mod Platform patch reasonably soon with the two bugfixes.
The file you get when downloading the 1.63 patch is called final_frontier_plus_1_3_patch_setup.zip, and it contains an exe file of the same name. The "6" from 1.63 should probably be put in the names to avoid confusion.

Okay, I've posted the 1.64 patch. It fixes GFC errors that were caused by not having Final Frontier installed.
As such, it's really only useful if you are running the full download version.
Well, actually, I also fixed the desktop icon problem (but that's related to the installer itself, not the mod). So the 1.64 patch should make an icon with a graphic on it now.
The 1.65 patch has been released. This fixes the commerces bug, a few other minor bugs, and also includes AI improvements by God-Emperor. Changelog:
-Fixed bug with commerce yields going out of whack (and potentially production)
-Fixed bug where gold was set to 10 in Python regardless of iStartingGoldMultiplier
-Fixed bug with barbarian spawning (may lead to weird numbers of barbarians!)
-AI now better handles unhappy and unhealthy population
-AI also now better manages food (in relation to population)
I don't intend to keep patching 1.6 forever, but at the moment I'm rather lacking in free time in which to mod (and work on a major version, 1.7, with some new content like the leaders)...
And yes, 1.651 "hotfix" is now out. One DLL change and some changes in CIV4HandicapInfos.xml, changing barbarian spawning behavior. I tested it too, and barbarian spawning is "normal" again (or at least, what we wanted it to be in the erroneous 1.65).
After a rather long delay, version 1.7 has been released:
1.7 Changelog:
-Merged BUG 4.4 by the BUG team (merge done by God-Emperor)
-Merged Multiple Favorite Civics modcomp by TheLopez
-Merged Defender Withdrawl modcomp by killmeplease
-Merged Lead from Behind modcomp by UncutDragon
-Merged bits of BTS on Speed by Sephi (new speed modcomp)

-Fixed bug with Partisans event
-Fixed (theoretically?) bug with running FF+ in a language other than English
Any bugs that you find here, please report quickly and I hope to patch them quickly. And I also hope that future versions will come swifter.
