Remove the 30cm fore and aft belt armors (!!!) and also you can reduce the fore/aft deck and it should show logical increase of weight.
4 hours ago, ramenhenry said:Nah mate this is not about that. Outside belt armor should not effect internal citadel armor the way it does regardless if I even have a citadel tech which I don't in this case. I shouldn't get negative displacement for making my citadel bigger or in this case the entire length of the ship.
For some reason in the coding y'all have some weird link for aft forward armor ratioed in with main belt armor to cause bigger citadels to eventually have negative displacement. I am recommending you have citadel displacement completely seperate from main belt, aft forwad belt calculations.
Here are even more examples of this, this being a Spanish Dreanought hull 1 1905 shared design situatin and the other Japanese to also show that this is game wide.

Due to popular request we created this forum to help volunteers to organize their text work. Players who want to voluntarily help in improving the game's localization can do the following procedure:
Find the localization files
- The .lng files are usually found in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts\Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts_Data\StreamingAssets\Languages
- You can use the Steam client to browse and find the files as shown.
Edit the localization files
- You can use a simple text editor to open the .lng files and edit their contents.
- The game will use the latest file found in the list.
- Be sure to back up the files you edit, because a new game version may overwrite your work.
We will use the best versions
- The files edited can be shared in our forum as a free mod.
- You can create a post to attach and share the edited file.
- The best localization version, accepted by the majority of the community, will be integrated into the game, and its contributors will be added in the credits list of the game.
Thank you for reading!

There's still a major bug that hasn't been addressed I have seen for quite a while. When Main belt armor to Aft/Forward armor reaches a certain ratio where Aft/Forward armor increasingly becomes the same as the main, a larger Citadel will actually decrease displacement. I noticed this a lot as I often create ships that are all around well armored in fear of getting penetrated in the Aft and Forward when presenting my broadside and having major stability issues as a result. This is such a huge case that I always now place two turrets at the very opposite end of the ship in order to get maximum stability which really should not be the case. Here's some evidence of this
If you use an "All or nothing" armor scheme, which had the main belt greatly armored and the fore/aft sections not much armored, or not armored at all, you should notice the weight to decrease. But if you have highly armored the fore/aft sections and by reducing the main belt, you make these fore/aft sections too large, then you actually see an increase in displacement, an increase of ship weight, because the weight of armor in fore/aft sections is very large.

Update 9
- Fixed critical bug that could cause freeze of loading or complete pause of auto-design.
- Fine tuned the new updated ship stability mechanics, so that the engine weight stabilizes more the ship.
- Fine tuning of auto-design.
- Shell ballistics tuning.
**This update is considered a final release candidate. The v1.5 is scheduled to be fully release during Saturday 9/3/2024**

Update 8
- Accuracy balances and optimizations of the logic, increasing fps. Note for modders: The parameters “acc_mod_vs_tiny_ship” and “acc_mod_vs_huge_ship” are no longer in use, as the system uses different internal formulas.
- Slight penetration adjustment. The average amount of penetration power needed to actually penetrate a specific armor width has been decreased (coefficient reduced from 0.25 to 0.2). This results in more impactful shell hits and an overall even more realistic damage model, not having an overpowered effect of armor.
- Research has been balanced according to the latest feedback.
- Battle AI will desire to withdraw when overwhelmed or when it is heavily damaged, with more probability.
**This update is considered a release candidate. The v1.5 may fully release if all is ok.**

division_attack_offset,890,preferable offset forward of target to attempt an attack route. Can be also negative.,,,,,,,
divisions_space,2250,Minimum distance between divisions on the same axis,,,,,,,
Very interesting this two new parameters. Thanks.
If possible, consider to implement:
- approach_clamp_torpedoes per ship type (TB, DD, CL, etc...) So it is possible to make small ships very aggressive in their approach if armed with torpedoes, but without affecting capital ships if also armed with torpedoes.
- Implement a mechanic to force an AI ship with 50% hp hull or less (or something like that), to detach from the division and use the retreat command. To try to survive and fight another day.
It was considered but many extra calculation calls for the AI would actually decrease a lot the combat fps. So we have to compromise.
The AI already has a logic to retreat when damaged but many players cry that the AI runs when it tries to play as a human.
EDIT:
We will increase the thresholds and we will see how it goes.

From the english file
$technology_desc_hull_destroyer_4;technology_desc_projectile_explosive_10
and again
$LoadingScreens_Text_92;*Ding Ruchang* (November 18, $technology_desc_hull_destroyer_4;technology_desc_projectile_explosive_101836 - February 12, 1895) was a Chinese admiral who commanded the Chinese Fleet during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. He was defeated at the critical battle of Yalu River, where he lost 5 out of his 10 ships and was injured due to an accidental misfire of his own ship.
This is not an error?
Thanks! It seems it was something old, now will be fixed. Only one error "technology_desc_projectile_explosive_10" found. I cannot understand what is the other one you report.

was checking out the new modernized dread 1 for Russia and noticed that 8in casemates shrunk when size was increased. 8.0in
vs 8.9in
then I saw those forward facing casemates angle inside the ship trying to point at the enemy
Are you having modified files or are you using any old save?
This is how the guns look in their max. length caliber and their rotation is different. They do not have any problems getting stuck or rotating through the hull.
If you use a mod, then please report only on the mod thread, not here or within the game interface, because we lose time checking such things.

Update 6
- Important optimizations for the new improved auto-design and collider system. It should be faster and more effective than ever before. Maybe some minor changes on parts could happen on your designs, with rare probability, but the changes should create more consistent fire arcs.
- Fixed minor issues of USA "Small Battleship" of the 1890s which in some cases could have guns overlapping with towers (saves that include this hull, will be affected).Please restart Steam to get the latest update fast

Update 5
3x new hulls:
- [b]Japanese “Modernized Battlecruiser”'[/b] offers not the fastest hulls for a battlecruiser but focuses more on resilience and number of secondary guns. It can be found in the battlecruiser hulls from 1929 and has a displacement between 42,500 and 57,500 tons.
- [b]Japanese “Modernized Dreadnought IV”'[/b] is another battleship alternative for the nation which is very resilient and a stabile gun platform but rather slow. It can be found in the battleship hulls from 1927 and has a displacement between 42,000 and 69,500 tons.
- [b]Japanese “Modern Battlecruiser II”'[/b] offers designs of versatile, very fast and powerful battlecruisers which though have not much resilience. It can be found in the battlecruiser hulls from 1935 and has a displacement between 38,500 and 54,000 tons.- Fixed potential freeze bug, of auto-design, which could cause delay or even total stall of loading.
- Improvements and edits on various hulls. Most probably saves of tech years over 1920 will be affected and should be checked for invalid designs. It is advised to restart a campaign if you notice problems.Please restart Steam to get the latest update fast

Uploaded optimized x2 version including the following
- Fixed some issues that were reported, causing ships to not be eligible to be constructed into a new refit version although they were available.
Please restart Steam to get this update properly. Users should not allow downloading of updates during gameplay because it may corrupt their installation. This is an advice not only for our game but any game.-

Uploaded optimized version including the following
- Brought back the Refit ID fix, which now should work properly. It should also speed up saving procedures and turn times.
- Aiming fine tuning: Gun aiming is sharper, making the rate of fire more significant and the accuracy more realistically balanced.
*Economy balance:*
- Oil resources become even more significant in growth, income and fuel consumption
- Nation growth is normalized in values. There is a more balanced growth during war, revolution and peacetime period, plus growth is shaped up according to GDP, so it distinguishes developed nations of very high GDP from developing nations with too low GDP.

Uploaded repaired version including the following
- Reverted the Refit ID fix because it prevented building a refit based on a previous refit design. This was an unwanted error of the new system so we had to take back the feature until it works properly.
- Fixed bug that could make a player accidentally delete all ammo of a selected ship when making a bug report with a shortcut.
