Solar Flare

[DogeEnricoDandolo]

Isn't this disaster supposed to show up only the in the Apocalypse (last climate change) phase? After the Ethiopia update I've seen it popping up pretty often in the early game. I am not sure if my mods are just acting up or someone else has been seeing the same thing?

 

[Chefofrats]

I play with no mods, I've never used Apocalypse Mode, and I have never had a solar flare in a game, having played a new one every few days these past few months, with all content purchased and downloaded.

Solar Flare is Apocalypse mode exclusive, so you have to have it on to see it.

I thought so too, but I’ve definitely had it show up earlier.

Which I don’t mind, in the early eras it doesn’t do any damage anyway, and it increases your chance of seeing pretty lights.

I've seen it early game once too : ) Thought it was very nice because it was lovely to see : P

I feel like this only happens early in the game after the Ethiopia update. Before that it only appeared when the Earth was doomed and comets started to fall

if i'm not mistaken, it can happen once per game before the final climate phase, it can happen more during that final phase

I should have said, this was all prior to the Ethiopia update.

I am getting zero forest fires and meteor strikes in my current game. Apoc mode is off, SS is on. Is that normal?

See here: [1.0.3.31] No meteor shower or forest fire in standard or SS game

Ah. Guess I am activating both modes next game. Cheers.

You don't have to, just move the one file in the modinfo as detailed.

I knda want to see a vampire hit by a comet...

 

[Deadly Dog]

I've seen many a harmless pre-industrial Solar Flare in Apocalypse games since the mode was released. So it may be rare but it does happen and with no tech to be damaged its a bit of a breather from the constant eruptions and floods...like a rainbow after a storm...

So I need to copy and paste the content of GC&M Game Capabilities to the GC&M Expansion 2 at the updatedatabase action and I'm good? Sorry if I misunderstand. So what do I do with the original Game Capabilities file?

 

[Laurana Kanan]

@DogeEnricoDandolo - See here. You're just moving the file entry in the modinfo from one UpdateDatabase action to another that has a different criteria.

No forest fires or meteors in a standard game? Boo.

 

[Depravo]

Is there a mod that adds all features of Apocalypse mode EXCEPT the comet strikes?

 

[Sostratus]

It would really be great if they added a bullet list of exactly which features are tied to the modes and which are tied to the content pack being enabled for the base game.
Would clear up a lot of these kinds of Q's.

Does the solar flare kill vampires?
