Adding Upgrades

FIXME This description is incomplete, please expand it as necessary!

Required Files

Please note that Microsoft Office tools and Windows tools in general (like Windows Notepad) alter the csv files invisibly by adding hidden characters. We also don't recommend Open Office Calc for csv editing, as this tool adds unwanted characters, like the apostrophe to some fields. This can render the files unusable and even corrupt your entire game. For editing csv files, we recommend a text based editor, e.g. the libre Notepad++, which keeps the required format across Windows and Linux.

The following file must be edited with a text editor:

units.csv where a unit identifier with postfix "__upgrades", and some parameters are entered.
master_part_list.csv, where a description and item image are edited.
ship_upgrades.py if you are adding or altering upgrade categories.

To make upgrades available on planets and stations, the correct upgrade category must be added in the planet's units.csv entry.

Not only the unit names for upgrades must be aligned, but also the categories.
