Re: "Bonus Income"? Suddenly I'm 100,000cr richer? Okay, but why????

Ah, very good, Jorgen and zgrssd! That seems to be it exactly, clear as day on the economy screen. I'm just surprised at the sudden jump, but it makes perfect sense that the construction surge resulted from the tech I'd just researched. I think I'm also a bit surprised that the player is the direct ...

"Bonus Income"? Suddenly I'm 100,000cr richer? Okay, but why????

I'm somewhat resigned to the "black box" of the Distant Worlds economy, so I just manage what I can to keep a positive cashflow going, and it seems to be mostly working. But there are times when I overspend and I'm stuck with a negative balance for a while, meaning I can't queue research, build new ...

Re: How to queue ship orders?

I've mostly been enjoying rediscovering Distant Worlds 2 after the Aurora update, but I'm getting *really* frustrated with the automation in Distant Worlds 2, and especially with my inability to figure out what the AI is doing on occasion. So naturally, I sometimes want to just wrest control from ...

Where can I find information about QoL values in a zone?

I realize QoL is a facet of the public economy and it's not something I control, but I'm trying to find out where I can see details about each zone's QoL, other than just looking over its assets. Is there someplace in the reports or the zone panels I'm missing?

RE: Is there any way to run Shadow Empire in a window?

Perfect! Is there any reason it's not an option from within the ingame settings? It seems like something a fair number of people might want to uee.

Is there any way to run Shadow Empire in a window?

I don't see any option to run in a window within the game preferences, but is there perhaps some sort of .ini file modification or command line parameter?

RE: Rebinding hotkeys?

<t> Ooh, I like the looks of that Autohotkey program!&nbsp; Thanks for the tip, Mr. Painter.<br/>
<br/>
Erik, it's not a major deal, but it might be a cool interface feature to fold into the game sometime down the road if it's not too difficult for Elliot.&nbsp; DW has such excellent hotkey ...

Rebinding hotkeys?

<t> I'd be surprised if this hasn't been asked before, but I can't seem to get the forum's search to return anything but an error message. So, apologies if this has been hashed out already. <br/>
