Ok, will do so. How do I open the database? Is it a SQL db?
To piggyback on what Nuclearslurpee recommended - and I too use the utility he linked - here's a detailed breakdown of what you'd do if you use that utility:
NOTE: Before you do this, be sure to make a copy of your existing DB in case something goes wrong, you make a mistake, etc. This *shouldn't* cause any problems with your game, but I'm not an expert.
- Open the DB Browser for SQLite program
- File > Open Database > navigate to, select and open your AuroraDB. db
- Near the top left you'll see a tab that says "Browse Data". Click it.
- Slightly below that you'll see Table: with a drop-down selection box next to it. Go into that.
- Scroll down to FCT_FleetLog and select it. Click on the "GameTime" header to sort the list in descending order.
- Scroll down to the very bottom of the page. Under the heading of Description you can see every fleet action that's been carried out for all empires in the game, including NPR's.
- You should see a message that says something along the lines of "JP3: Midgard: Standard Transit" (The JP number and name will of course be different for your game)
- Look for repeating messages of this sort in close succession. You might see "JP3: Midgard: Standard Transit" repeated twice, then "JP1: Jotunheim: Standard Transit" repeated twice, with two different FleetID's in the FleetID column. This pattern should be repeated over and over. This will indicate which fleets are (likely) to be the issue.
- Write down one of the associated FleetID's. Now switch your table from FCT_FleetLog to FCT_Fleet. Sort by FleetID at the top, and navigate to the row with the fleet corresponding to the one you wrote down.
- Scroll to the right until you find the column labeled "Xcor" and "Ycor". These will probably be a very large number, in the 10's or 100's of millions.
- Here's where you fix the problem: For the relevant FleetID, increase or decrease the Xcor or Ycor by some arbitrary large number, add 50,000,000 to one of them, for example.
- Once that's done, File > Save All and you should have your increment problem fixed.
