Hi all,
Bumping the thread.

Any word on having the ability to queue orders?

I'm a little frustrated with the waiting on this, but I see Shakturi DLC is out... Hopefully next?

Thank you,
Tortuga

Thanks Jorgen.

I don't understand how this is a major undertaking. Any insight from Erik or Elliot as to why?

Thanks for taking the time.

Best,

Checking back on this.

Any update on manually queuing ship orders?

Thanks,
Tortuga

We are looking at ways to adjust things to make mods and saving/loading individual ships easier to handle for the game. Will post update as soon as we settle upon a course of action, thanks!


Thanks, William!

Hi Fredrik,

I've seen a snapshot of the upcoming ship -> nation design file change. I understand the motivation, although this will break mods.

Can you please provide a template with what line corresponds to what trait? That way we can mimic your serializer for creating/reading/modding designs ...

To answer myself: I think what I want is under Preferences > Screenshots.

I thought I remembered there being an option! (I haven't seen the result yet, but I assume this is what I want.)

Hi all,

I wonder if there is any way to dump a global screenshot, with frontline information, or some other built-in API to print world map?

I'd like to easily create a turn-by-turn progression from a uniform source.

(The alternative is screenshot the strategic map, but getting that aligned will ...

Hi all,
I thought I'd bump this thread.

I decided it's been long enough (about a year), time to check out DW2 progress.

Hi everyone,<br/>
<br/>
Latest word from our marketing folks is that with all the other releases and promotions in December, we may wait a bit longer on the big reveal just to make sure it gets enough visibility. However, I'll be ...

<t> I don't have time to read "Logistics is a mess" thread. However, in this thread which is much younger (and easier/quicker to read), I will plop down my two cents:<br/>

This teaser puts me exactly in the balanced state of partially being satisfied by new info, but partially being even more curious and anxious for info than before.

Ok, I can't say much yet but let me say this. Elliot and I took the benefit of our experience with DW1 started over with an entirely new engine with DW2 to build a better Distant Worlds, not some completely different game. The original ...

Wow, I missed about a month and there have been FOUR (I think) dev comments here.

I know none of them say anything, but it's still really exciting.

What do we want? DW2 NEWS!

When do we want it? NOW!
