I seem to have somehow lost the ability to use any starbase design I have created.
I was able to create starbases when I first started playing the game not too long ago, by creating them in the ship designer then assigning them to the fleet style when creating or editing a custom race. Now, while some of the starbase designs still show up in the ship designer, they are no longer listed as options to replace starbases when I use the race editor. I can see all the generic starbases just fine, just not any custom ones- even the ones I've already used. Creating new designs does not add them to the list either.
I even tried to add one in by adding a shipstylesetdefs to the mod folder, adding a new ship style and filling in the appropriate assets in the appropriate places for the generic starbase. Now when I use this new ship style in the race editor, the generic starbase field is empty and I can't even replace it with anything (because it's empty and there's nothing there to select). When I create a game with a race set to use that ship style, I can create select and upgrade the starbase, but it's invisible. Upgrading it makes it visible again, since the upgrades are still using standard starbases.
As I already said, I was able to use my own starbase designs just a few days ago. Anyone know what's wrong and how I can fix it?
I'm used to running into problems when I'm modding, but this game...
I've had the issue with not being able to assign starbases in the editor, but my starbases are otherwise working fine in-game via my xml. The invisible issue might be something else. Double check your xml edits, because sometimes a small mistake there is the issue.
/sigh
I don't know what it was, but I tried a different starbase and it worked, so I tried the first one again and this time it worked just fine. Maybe there was a space I didn't notice or a letter missing in that long string of letters at the end. It still doesn't show up in the list of starbases to sub in, but I can live with that. You're absolutely right. They're unrelated issues.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Glad to have helped
I am having a similar issue. I believe it may be a bug in 2.6 which they just pushed out to everyone. Custom and subscribed starbases no longer show up to use when creating a custom fleet style via the civilization builder only core ones are present. Two styles that had custom starbases no longer load because suddenly there are problems with the custom starbases. There was no problem with version 2.5 and earlier.
