This thread is a work in progress at the moment, but ultimately it's meant to be a guide to modding Final Frontier Plus and merging it with your own mods.
Also, you can ask any questions about modding FF+ or working it into your own space mods here. If you're having trouble (for instance, I recall that when someone tried to get their mod working with FF+, there was a crash when initializing the main menu), you can either post about it here or start a new thread.

CIV4BuildingInfo:
bNeverCapture, iConquestProb: These tags in vanilla Civ were not used in Final Frontier. They now can be used- to set either the probability of a building being destroyed or that the building will always be destroyed on the conquest of a city.
BuildingClassNeededs: This array in Final Frontier was used to require certain buildingclasses to be on the building planet. Now it merely requires the buildingclasses to be in the same system- the original functionality has been passed to a new array, PlanetBuildingClassNeededs.
bOnePerSystem: Boolean tag indicating that the building can only be built once per system. Accessed by CvBuildingInfo().isOnePerSystem().
iCostModIncrease: Integer tag indicating the increase in building cost for multiple buildings in a system (Works like it did in the python- "2" is normal, "3" is a higher cost). Accessed by CvBuildingInfo().getCostModIncrease().
PlanetYieldChanges: An array that lets you change the yields of the planet that the building was built on. The example below adds one food to the planet (like the Nutrition Facility). Accessed by CvBuildingInfo().getPlanetYieldChanges(int).
iPlanetPopCapIncrease: Integer that specifies how much the building increases the population cap of the planet it is built on. Accessed by CvBuildingInfo().getPlanetPopCapIncrease().

bMoon: Boolean saying that the building requires the current building planet to have a moon for the building to be constructed. Accessed by CvBuildingInfo().isMoon().
bRings: Boolean saying that the building requires the current building planet to have rings for the building to be constructed. Accessed by CvBuildingInfo().isRings().
PlanetBuildingClassNeededs: Array similar to BuildingClassNeededs, but the buildings listed here must be on the current building planet for the building to be constructed. Accessed by CvBuildingInfo().isBuildingClassNeededOnPlanet(iBuildingClass).
iSingleRingBuildingLocation: Integer used to define exceptions to the single building ring location system, used for building art orbiting the solar system.

TraitPlanetYieldChanges: Array for traits that, in combination with the building, cause yields to change on the planet the building is built on. The example is for the Forge and the Mining Facility. Accessed by CvBuildingInfo().getTraitPlanetYieldChanges(iTrait, iYield).
CIV4CivilizationInfo:
bAlien: Boolean tag currently unused. In theory, this flags a civ as one of the "alien" civs that a goody flagged with "bNewCiv" can spawn. Code not tested as no alien civs have been added. Accesse by CvCivilizationInfo().isAlien().
CIV4TraitInfo:
iFreePopulation: Integer that defines the free population that will be added to all cities a player with this trait has. Accessed by CvTraitInfo().getFreePopulation().
iFreeTradeRoutes: Integer that defines extra trade routes that will be added to all cities a player with this trait has. Accessed by CvTraitInfo().getFreeTradeRoutes().
iStartingGoldMultiplier: Integer that is multiplied by the default amount of starting gold a player with this trait starts with. Accessed by CvTraitInfo().getStartingGoldMultiplier().

CIV4CivicInfo:
UnitCombatCostMods: An array that lets you modify a given unit combat's cost under a civic. For instance, the array in the example makes light ships cost -10% less. Accessed by CvCivicInfo().getUnitCombatCostMods(int).
PlanetYieldChanges: An array that lets you change planet yields in the same style of other YieldChanges arrays. The example below adds one food to all planets (like the Utopia civic). Accessed by CvCivicInfo().getPlanetYieldChanges(int).
CIV4GoodyInfo:
RequiredImprovement: String that lets you make the goody require a particular improvement. If left blank or not used, the goody can be received from any improvement. Accesed by CvGoodyInfo().getRequiredimprovement().
bDamageUnit: Boolean that says that the goody's effects will damage the unit that triggered it. Accessed by CvGoodyInfo().isDamage().
bNewCiv: Boolean that in theory creates a new civ flagged with "bAlien". Untested as no alien civs have been added (no enabled goody uses this). Accessed by CvGoodyInfo.isNewCiv().
CIV4FeatureInfo:
bNoBarbarianSpawn: Boolean that means barbarian units will not be allowed to spawn on this feature. Accessed by CvFeatureInfo().isNoBarbarianSpawn().

TargetWormholeType: String defining a feature that units moving onto this feature will be teleported to. Can be the same or different feature- so FEATURE_WORMHOLE's TargetWormholeType is FEATURE_WORMHOLE. Accessed by CvFeatureInfo().getTargetWormholeType().
CIV4ImprovementInfo:
UnitClassBuilt: String indicating the unit class of a unit created when the improvement is built. The unit is given to the player who is building the improvement. Accessed by CvImprovementInfo().getUnitClassBuilt().
CIV4TerrainInfo:
bFoundFeature: Boolean tag indicating that a city can only be built on the plot if there is a feature as well. Overruled by bFound. Accessed by CvTerrainInfo().isFoundFeature().
CIV4BuildInfo:
bStarbase: Boolean tag indicating that the build will produce a unit (that the build is making a starbase). This causes the game to check whether other units are building other "starbases" or there are other "starbase units" on the plot before allowing construction. Accessed by CvBuildInfo().isStarbase().
CIV4UnitInfo:
bStarbase: Boolean tag indicating that the unit is a "starbase". Starbase builds can't be built when starbase units are on the plot. Accessed by CvUnitInfo().isStarbase(), or alternatively CyUnit().isStarbase().
iCultureRange: Integer tag indicating the range of culture that will be created around the unit when it is created. Normally set to 0, set to 2 for starbases. Accessed by CvUnitInfo().getCultureRange().

MaxBarbarianSpawnEra: String defining the latest game era required for the barbarians to spawn this unit. Game era is the average of player eras. Accessed by CvUnitInfo.getMaxBarbarianSpawnEra().
iBarbarianChanceMultiplier: Integer that increases the chance of this unit spawning as a barbarian. It is multiplied by the randomly generated chance, so if set to 2, the chance doubles, if set to 3, it triples, etc. Accessed by CvUnitInfo().getBarbarianChanceMultiplier.
iUpgradePriceOverride: Integer that hardcodes an upgrading price for upgrading to this unit, ignored if the price is 0 or less. Accessed by CvUnitInfo().getUpgradePriceOverride().
bDelta: Boolean that defines a unit as a "delta" unit. Is not necessary for all Delta units and does nothing except influence upgrade prices (see below). Only used for Delta Starbase at present. Accessed by CvUnitInfo().isDelta().
bOmega: Boolean that defines a unit as an "omega" unit. Is not necessary for all Omega units. What it does is this: if a unit is upgrading to an omega unit and is a normal (non-delta) unit, than the upgrade price is doubled. Only used for Omega Starbase at present. Accessed by CvUnitInfo().isOmega().
bOtherStation: Boolean that defines a space station (declared by bStarbase) as an "other station", i.e. not a starbase and therefore not something that spawns missiles. Accessed by CvUnitInfo().isOtherStation().
MovementSound: String that defines a 3D audio script ran when the unit moves. Accessed by CvUnitInfo().getMovementSound().
bMissile: Boolean that defines a unit as a missile, and therefore spawnable by starbases. Accessed by CvUnitInfo().isMissile().
Global Defines:
TURN_BARBARIANS_APPEAR: Integer defining the first turn barbarian units will appear
CONSTRUCT_SHIP: String defining the construction ship unitclass, for the AI's construction ship code.
FF_PALACE_BUILDINGCLASS: String defining the Palace/Capitol buildingclass. This tag does not exist in FF+ 1.62 and will only be added in the imminent release of the Mod Platform (and in future releases of FF+). It is necessary because for some reason I can't access the existing PALACE_BUILDINGCLASS tag in Python.
Final Frontier Worldbuilder:
My Final Frontier Worldbuilder project adds additional data to the WBS files created when loading and saving inside the in-game Worldbuilder. This new information iis documented below. Please note: the consequence of this is that third-party map editor programs such as MapView will create WBS files that do no work properly.
The planets of a solar system were stored under the "FeatureType=FEATURE_SOLAR_SYSTEM" line, as seen below:
Now, two additional tags have been added to the end of this list. One is called "PlanetName=". It specifies what the name of the planet is. The second is called "PlanetBonusType=", and it specifies what the planet's resource is (if there is one). See below for an example:
The following lines of code can be added to any city define (below any "BeginCity"). They control the distribution of "CityPopulation=" among various planets in the solar system. The total of all the values of the planet population tags must equal the city population, and it should go under the "CityPopulation=" line.
The following lines of code can be added to any city define (below any "BeginCity"). They store buildings to a specific planet, so "Planet1BuildingType=" means that the listed building is added to Planet 1, and the same for all the others. They should be added under the last "BuildingType=" line)
The following lines of code can be added to any city define (under BeginCity). They specify the selected planet and the building planet ring for each city- the planet that is selected in the city screen and the planet that buildings will be created on.
Miscellaneous:
AI Auto-Play:
You can also use AI Auto Play in this mod. To turn on AI Auto Play, you need to first enable the console- turn on "cheats" by opening up the BTS .ini file, searching for "CheatCode = 0", and changing the "0" to "chipotle". The .ini file can be found in your Beyond the Sword directory (there should be a shortcut titled _Civ4Config). Then you must open up the console by typing "Shift + ~" in game.
Once in the python console, enter the following to activate AI Auto Play, where "x" is the number of turns AI Auto Play should last.
Final Frontier Debugger:
Jon Shafer built some debugging functionality into Final Frontier. Specifically, throughout the mod's python files there are lots of printd() statements which output text to the PythonDbg.log file. These statements are normally disabled. However, you can activate them if you need more information.
If you open CvSolarSystem.py, at the top you should see this code:
If you change the value of g_bPrintDebugText to True, the debug text will be printed.
Also, you can ask any questions about modding FF+ or working it into your own space mods here. If you're having trouble (for instance, I recall that when someone tried to get their mod working with FF+, there was a crash when initializing the main menu), you can either post about it here or start a new thread.
