Search function didn't turn up anything useful, but. Trying to modify the default settings in Alpha Centauri.ini to turn off autosave and do a few other things. (This is using whatever the latest version is that you download from GoG for Windows, on a Windows 8.1 machine, no mods yet)

The lines I see that seem relevant:

Code: [Select]
Preferences=101001111000001101111110100101
More Preferences=1110100111011100101001

Binary flags. :mad: So, uh, what does each digit correspond to...?

It would be easier to just toggle settings from the in-game GUI.  Then you could look at the effect upon those values in the .ini file, and you'd know what bit controls what.

Have you ever wondered why clouds behave in such familiar ways when each specimen is so unique? Or why the energy exchange market is so unpredictable? In the coming age we must develop and apply nonlinear mathematical models to real world phenomena. We shall seek, and find, the hidden fractal keys which can unravel the chaos around us.
