light

Last updated: January 1, 1

This configuration tree stores the constants of photons.

.c

(int) The physical constant c, the speed of light in meters per second. By default, this value is set to 299792458.

.superluminal

This configuration tree manages access to superluminal travel.

.superluminal.unlock_year

(int) The year in which superluminal travel will be unlocked.

.superluminal.physics_loophole_method

A variety of options for introducing superluminal travel.

• RANDOM: Choose randomly.
• ALIEN_ARTIFACT: An alien artifact will be discovered by explorers on Mars.
• PLOT_DEVICE: Automatically chooses the device most convenient to the currently-running plot.
• HYPERLANE: Hyperlanes will be discovered.
• WORMHOLE: Wormholes will be discovered.
• THE_WORK_1300: A ring will be created that links Sol to a spherical area with links to 1,300 other star systems.
  Warning

  This setting requires the following settings to be true:

  • human.names.allow_portmanteaus.christina - Allows the name generator to generate the correct name for the undersecretary-general.
  • human.names.allow_portmanteaus.jennifer - Allows the name generator to generate the correct name for the undersecretary-general.
  • politics.allow_world_government_formation - Sets the maximum size of a single nation's territory to an entire planet's surface area.
  • politics.allow_mars_independence - Allows Mars to declare independence.

  This setting requires the plugins Polities.UnitedNations and Polities.IndependentMars.

• SHAW_FUJIKAWA: Two randomly-chosen scientists will invent a PLOT_DEVICE. Requires that scientist generation be configured properly and that theoretical physics laboratories have enough funding.

.superluminal.shaw_fujikawa_year_range

([]int) A range of two integers during which the SHAW_FUJIKAWA loophole trigger may occur. The first value must not be earlier than .superluminal.unlock_year.
