Greetings! Is there a Discord for Shadow Empire? I've found a couple that are Discord's that just so happen to have a Shadow Empire channel, but not one for Shadow Empire specifically.

I too sent an e-mail. Wasn't sure what else to do with the PM box full. [:)]

Greetings! Is it still true that setting tax rate low will increase the rate of a planets population growth? Thanks!

<t> Thanks for the reply! Definitely at the start of a new game tech wise.<br/>
<br/>
No, I do not mean it is running out of fuel (although it burns fuel quickly as expected). I understand the fuel capacity is small for sure, however, if you look in the bottom left you'll see that the station has ...

<r> I haven't played in awhile so it is possible I am missing something obvious. I designed a mining station but for some reason it isn't generating power despite having fuel. Can anyone tel me what I'm missing please? Thanks!<br/>

Erik,

I appreciate the reply! I am sure I speak for many others when saying I am pleased that it is still in development. I look forward to future news!

<t> Not sure if this is the best place for this, however, I was wondering if there had ever been any official announcements regarding Distant Worlds 2 or if it was all still just speculation and rumor? <br/>
<br/>
I played Stellaris (which I enjoyed), however I found more often than not it left me ...

Logged in to say I am super excited to hear this news and eagerly await any info on Distant Worlds 2. I played Distant Worlds and all its expansions for hours and hours and think it was well worth every penny paid for it!

Alright. Thank you again for your assistance!

<r> Thank you for the reply elliot! I tried this and it does indeed work for <B><s>[b]</s>individual<e>[/b]</e></B> troop transports. I select 1 troop transport, right click the system from sector level, and the option appears. <br/>
<br/>
However, I have a rather large fleet of troop transports ...

<t> Kind of an amusing problem, and one I suspect someone has encountered before. Basically, I've built a spaceport that is larger then the moon it orbits. I am trying to drop troops off on the planet below it, however, I can't get the option because the game believes I am trying to right-click on ...

Oh man. Talk about not being able to see the forest through the trees. That did the trick precisely. Thank you!

<t> So, I came across an abandoned station and the dialog box popped up which prompted me to investigate it or leave it alone. I accidentally clicked leave it alone and now I cannot get that dialog box to come back nor can I figure out a way to investigate it.<br/>
<br/>
Have I permanently lost ...

<t> I just wanted to check back in here and say I think I may have figured out the problem. My leader had a population growth penalty of -20%. I dismissed him and got one with a 10% bonus instead and at this point I have some planet populations growing at a rate of 19%. So, takeaway here is that I ...

I checked and they do not seem to have any "negative" effects related to growth. I have watched and I do not see any emigration occurring.

I'll try to load a vanilla game and see if things seem slow there as well. Thank you for your help!

Sorry for the confusion. This is my colony; I am playing as the Napoar.

I grabbed it right away when I saw it was 100% quality level. The population started at 30m and has taken nearly 55 years to get to 492m.

<r> Thank you for the replies! The world is much larger then 4.3k actually. I took a screenshot, per Bingeling's suggestion.<br/>

Here it is:<br/>

<t> I have recently read several guides (both older and newer) regarding making money for the state. However, nevertheless I still cannot seem to figure out a few things.<br/>
<br/>
The basic idea seems to be to grow a colony so that you have a large, and happy, population to then tax. That seems ...

It could probably be stopped, but it is pretty much your own fault for building your own (loaded) incomplete colony ship design. <br/>
<br/>
If you did indeed not have a buildable colony ship design you would not build one. So you had that ...

<t> I am not entirely sure what caused this bug, however, I loaded some saved ships design into a brand new game in which I started "pre-warp."<br/>
<br/>
Shortly after starting, I received an advisor suggestion to colonize a planet. This was a surprise because I had no buildable colony ships ...
