How to get other races using other races ships and structures

Hey, just wondering if anyone can help me with some modding.

 

i am trying to create my own race just for run, but i am having trouble when trying to give ships from other races to another one, can anyone help me?

Basically, it can be as easy as just adding the references to the ship entities into your race's build list. If you open PlayerTech/Psi/Phase you'll see it has a list for all the ships in their frigate and capital factories.

It gets more complicated for ships that require research, since you also have to make sure your race can do the research to unlock that ship. But that's done similarly also - just plug the name of the research subject entity into the playerrace entity file in the research block.

If you're running v1.12 just sticking a TEC capital into the PSI build list will work since the capital factory was expanded to allow for 9. Inside the Documentation folder of the mod tools download there's a sins_modset.pdf that's a brief tutorial, and it has you do something with a new race if I remember right.
