I waited for many years after playing DW sans the U DLC for DW2 to come out with the Shakturi DLC and all I can say is it's been a big disappointment. A tedious boring game that lacks challenge.

I finally met the Shakturi and found them to be total wimps. There were 4 gravitic rifts stupidly ...

New Version 4.0 now available for download! I'm sure I've updated 98% of it - but please share any issues/corrections needed based upon latest changes - I'm sure I missed something.

Thanks all!

It's in the public beta version if I'm not mistaken.

Best of luck with your health issues.

Thanks!

Updated to 3.2 today. Health issues and person things have kept me busy but I think I've updated everything to be current. I'm sure I missed some things so pls let me know and I'll make more changes as needed. Thanks all for your help in checking it.

Please be sure to check out Gessie's excellent ...

We talked about this in the beta a couple of years ago - but I wanted to make sure you were considering supporting one of my favorite features of DW1.

So I would set the entire game to full auto - but I would assign myself one fleet (or sometimes one ship in later game). So could roleplay as an ...

Played DWU and noticed a difference in your recommendation.

In DWU, I only built a few SpacePorts and lots of Defensive bases because I heard that the private economy stockpiles production resources on planets that have SpacePorts.

The implication was that if you build too many Spaceports, the ...

Still a great guiude, helped me (again) after taking a months-long break from DW2.

I've found an inconsistency:
Your overview of panets' and moons' ressources (page 54) lists "Megallos Nut" as a resource for Marshy Swamps. According to the Galactopedia it is only available on forest and ...

Awesome Edward! I watched the first one and I'll check out the second one soon.

Super helpful!

Thanks for the kind words all. New update coming at the end of the week to cover the new DLC changes

Thanks so much for catching that. I'm making a new pass for the DLC next - so the update fix that.

(I'm doing the french localisation and can to this to, because it's way easier to access it this way i think)

Yes, absolutely.

There were more changes than I thought. Of at least my OCD is forcing me to write more. Still juggling a second job too. But I'm making progress. Thanks for asking.

Scott this guide has really sped up my learning. One question: do you plan further updates? I note some of the Fleet behavior issues you’ve identified appear to have been corrected in later game updates.

Thanks much for all your work on this. I especially love the mechanics deep dive videos ...

I will def fw kindness as I do daily in my work.
My eyes teared when I read the dedication. Nothing one can fear more then the illnesses of ones children.

Thank you.

Thanks for your kind words and your daily work! All the best.

OK -Yes - it's the stock level bug. Glad to hear it's not the mod and that it's being fixed. And yes - game over once you get it.

So I love the mod - but the problem is that for the third time - at some point mid game, it crashes and reloading the save makes it crash again a few minutes later (at the same point). Newest beta with your latest version (steam workshop installed).

Don't know if the error logs would help. I don't ...

Love this mod - really enjoying it. Thank you.

I'm just now rereading your guide trying to find info on planetary shields (and generally review for missing info for myself). Very much appreciate that guide! Was even feeling a little inspired to write a DW2-XL extension guide for folks who want ...

Love this mod - really enjoying it. Thank you.

I am having a problems with REALLY long assimilation times. Just wanted to confirm (I didn't see it in any of the docs) that this mod doesn't affect that. It's fine if it does and I just missed it - I just wanted to check before I report a problem ...

Scott, I am trying to understand the economy. Looking at your diagram, where would the cost of mined resources fit? Each one has a cost.


I think the private sector pays for it - and because you are only interested in what the Private sector gives you - I don't think it matters (except in those ...
