Thank you so much for these instructions! It worked great. I had attrition set to 0 (which allows for some attrition). Little did I know that when a Buggis Nuclear bot crashes it sets off a nuclear explosion, which will blow up other bots in flight... the chain reaction destroyed my moon base :( Thankfully these steps helped me reset attrition to -1.
I had to do a few extra steps since the mod was installed from the beginning. I'm not sure if everything was required, but here are the exact steps that worked for me:
1. Disable Robot Attrition?NO!
2. Load game in progress (do not sync mods). Save it and quit.
3. Enable Robot Attrition?NO!
4. Go to Settings -> Mod Settings -> Map -> Set attrition factor to -1
5. Load game in progress (do not sync mods), check settings and make sure attrition factor is -1, save & quit
6. Then follow the steps the author shared (find a resource mod, such as zirconium and install + enable it)
7. Then load game, confirm via universe explorer that all the planets now have a 0.00 bot risk, save game, quit
8. disable the resource mod
9. good to go!
