I told you in my reply where you can find the exact resource requirements for each component.

Thank you. I somehow overlooked that. It should be helpful.<br/>

<t> Thanks, yes, maybe it is a mine construction, in which case this will take care of itself. (I do understand that resources are not abstracted, that they require moving.)<br/>
<br/>
However, this does not really allay my concern about the game, particularly as the dev prepares DW2.<br/>

<t> I am posting here for two separate reasons. One, hopefully to get answers so as to be able to enjoy the game. But also to communicate the difficulties faced by a newcomer, in the hope that these things can be made more accessible in Distant Worlds 2.<br/>
<br/>
So I have started a fresh game ...

Thanks!

<t> So I order a new construction ship, but I get no message about it completing.<br/>
<br/>
I check Construction Yards=> Ships waiting to be constructed. It is not listed.<br/>

I check the list of construction ships. It is not listed.<br/>

I go back to the order screen, and the ...

<t> 1. They made contact and tried to blackmail me. I said no.<br/>
2. I lined our border with troops in anticipation of trouble.<br/>
3. I got a message that they crossed the border and were raiding for slaves. (No they didn't, the border was sealed.)<br/>
4. I chose the response declare war ...

<t> Seems to me that there is a logical problem with how this is set up.<br/>
<br/>
Once you agree to help, they have zero food and obtain no food, until you provide supply. Nor ammo. This really makes no sense. They are in their own town. How have they lived, up until now?<br/>
<br/>
Maybe if ...

Thanks guys, I'll give those a try. I think I might have to wait for 1.05 however, my turn times are just atrocious with the current beta - like 5X worse than before. The same goes for planet generation. The game seems to really hang up ...

Thanks! Maybe another thing in-game that needs some clarification in the mouseover? It says "must be connected to the zone city" when it ought to say "must be within your territory".

<r> Ah, that was the screen I was looking at before, and I was uncertain how it could be that the hex perks were being included. This is a very difficult screen to decode, it is certainly not like a financial accounting, with itemized inputs.<br/>
<br/>
But with your advice to look at this screen ...

Is there a screen which accounts for technology point? I am particularly concerned about those coming from hex perks.

<t> I wonder if something has been changed, or whether this is a bug but...<br/>

I dismissed my secretary with a promise of another job. I had a governor position open, but the secretary did not show up that turn as a candidate, which was a little odd since there was only one other candidate ...

Thanks!

<t> In my current game, my secretary has extremely high ratings, so I am thinking about giving him another job.<br/>
<br/>
But then I realized, I have no idea what the importance of a secretary is. I see in the manual that sometimes they make decisions you neglect to make. And that they are more ...

<t> Very interesting!!!<br/>
<br/>
So that formula indicates that one way to lower administrative strain is to add assets or asset level close to the city. Never, ever would have guessed that.<br/>
<br/>
As much as I would like a map overlay or a page accounting for this, I can see the ...

<t> I understand the concept of Administrative Strain Penalty, and I see that my assets are suffering such a penalty at 10%.<br/>
<br/>
But is there anyplace in the interface that itemizes that, so that I know this distant asset is costing X and that one is costing Y? Or is there a definite ...

In zone info screen you will see cults icon (pentagram) where are unrest/militia/danger etc. There you will see that cult produce Public Production penalty.

Thanks!

<r> Thanks.<br/>
<br/>
I am curious where this information is in-game, though, since I do not see it on the cults page.<br/>

<r> Picked the game up again after the latest update, and I am seeing something odd. Every construction so far, I end up needing an extra turn because the first turn of construction only accomplishes .9 of a turn's worth. Even though the construction costs are being paid as scheduled.<br/>

Thank you!
