Space's Scaling Conversion is built and maintained fully using Ulibos' ndf-parse, click here to view the github![github.com]


You may have noticed that in vanilla, the scaling is compressed (a small field is 2km across, a soccer/football field is almost 400m long), and for some players like myself, this can really throw off both the immersion and gameplay in unexpected ways. This mod changes the distance scaling of the game by a scaling ratio to increase engagement distances for everything across the board, evenly scaling up all aspects of the game. This mod extends the distances in the game by the factor specified in the title of the mod, making 1km in the new scaling equivalent to either 1.5km, 2km, or 3km of vanilla units (depending on the version you pick).

For example using the 2x modding version, an ATGM with a range of 2800m in vanilla still displays a range of 2800m in the 2x modded version, but that 2800m of distance in the mod is equal to 2800m x2 in vanilla units, so effectively it can shoot to a vanilla distance of 5600m.

The mod also includes several UI fixes to compensate for the increased scaling, including a fully functional extended LOS tool that scales with the scaling option, so you always can have confidence in what your units' lines of sight are.

I find that it really significantly changes the pacing of the game, I would recommend bringing decks with Artillery and SEAD. If you are playing with Space's Combat Overhaul, SEAD is added to all decks.

This mod is best played with the 1.5x or 2x scaling and on large maps with lowered income, due to the increased range of everything. However, 3x is available and should offer the most realistic scaling. Beware that most maps are not built to handle the full 3x scaling, and are mostly too small except for maybe Iron Waters 20v20.

The only other changes I make are to reduce the unit speeds to much more realistic values and to reduce the forest LOS to 200m from 300m, otherwise the scaling gets overwhelming quickly.

I also added some additional highlighted lines to the LOS tool at 750m, 2250m, and 2800m to represent the top ranges of Infantry AT, Tank Cannons, and ATGMs. Some non-highlighted lines were added at 3000m and 4000m, and the text size was increased for better readability.


Fragmentation Order AKA (Frago) is a balance mod that squeezes in realism and any extra gameplay improvement when possible.
