Vic, just a heads up that the current patch notes (#182) in that first post of the thread is still displaying the latest patch as 1.21d.

I have a planet where methane production is scaled up by 600%. T1 methane produces like 1k+ oil and now a single t3 methane produced enough fuel to supply my entire nation. I think the deep core mining one also scales depends on the planet. They are all in the planet overview in report page. The ...

I'd add that you need to carefully plan for wars too. A big war on a wide front with a lot of troops can choke even a good logistical network quite fast and so then, you might want to consider railroads to the front, ended with a railhead.

Yes it's an issue with planet generation. Some might consider it a feature, so that's up to you to decide.

I think this could be easily fixed by allowing the player the option to manually place their starting city on the map. I expect this is something that Vic has considered and we do know he's ...

The output was recently changed to scale up with the amount of methane in the atmosphere.


Ok, I'd be interested to see the ranges it can generate. And I still think that Synthetic Fuel is too effective: I think it either needs to be in a higher tier of technology or have a reduced output (or ...

I've been having a look at the tech tree and thinking that there are areas which really could do with a bit of a rethink.

Here's one example: I think Synthetic Fuel either needs to be less efficient in making fuel or should require Metal or some other input for production, or Methane Extraction ...

When the MTH offers an alliance, tell them "Not now, come back next time" indefinitely. That'll raise Gov

I dunno, I see Assault Marines in Warhammer 40k, and don't see why we couldn't have jump-pack Battledress thematically. I do see the reason not to have them from a games design perspective though.

zgrssd has given you the key to dealing with this issue.

Threatening to encircle them will usually cause them to fall back in short order or force them to attack you in a hasty way, reducing their numbers.

Honestly, I tend to play with 1 army start if I'm playing on a hostile map. Otherwise, you ...

I think giving Jet Pack troops access to Battledress would stop people using standard Battledress Infantry completely, unless there was some other cost to them (like a large fuel or power operating cost, for example).

I also think Jetpack troops are underwhelming as they are. Perhaps Vic can let us ...

I just examined a game-save someone sent me where he's managed to get 100 Relation with Raiders on a Gaia class. That's pretty interesting, I wonder what is working behind the scenes to keep those Raiders so happy and not want to expand? Resources and population are high so perhaps they're happy and ...

I like this feature, definitely going to make Aircraft Design a lot less painful.

Great work!

But does this work on Slavers, Hunters and so on?

Is this still broken? Apparently the ftp server is still not finding this, had to send someone a direct link to the file on our Discord

I think beyond playing the occasional Stratagem card the Secretary is pretty unimportant. If there's a good leader in that slot, I'd move them somewhere more useful ASAP, although bear in mind it's expensive in PP to do so.

Per only be able to play 'Unclassified' with the Oceania dlc; at the top of the screen you have 3 tabs to allow for all planets to be used.
Per the AI being easy to annex, the Hard & Extreme Difficulty settings should change your mind. :)
Hell, in a recent 'pbem' game I was having to fight with ...

I wasn't really making a point so much as genuinely asking the question.

That said, I've come across this complaint a lot and it always turns out that people are playing on very easy, friendly planet types. In my experience this strategy does not work on more resource constrained planets where ...

Another issue with autocracy is the fact that the early "call for" cards are not helpful. 50 PP is too much early on, let alone 150 PP.


With the usual caveat of "depending on planet generation settings and result", this is why I think Autocracy is better coming later in your game. If you go ...

What planet settings have you tested this on? I'm interested to know if you've managed to get this working outside of Siwa-like planets without lots of friendly farmers.

And the longer a planet is colonised the less metal you'll find too. In cases like these, you should aim for Metal Soil Filtration tech as soon as you can, but be aware it's expensive to get going and you'll need plenty of Power, Machines and HiTech.
