Best Performance PC for Distant Worlds 2

Hi, I'm planning to treat myself to a high-end PC this year and want to choose a configuration that allows DW2 to run at peak performance. The game recommends 12 cores for the largest galaxy settings, so that would be my minimum requirement. I was considering the following setup: CPU: Ryzen 9 7950X3...

Re: Colonizer and Base Buidling Automanager

The colonoziation issue could be fixed with a lower colonization range setting when starting a new game.

Re: Flag/marker for main spaceport needed

I have a spaceport, where the build rate is the best, but I can't build there fleets by the fleets template because there are not enough resources. On other spaceports I can build these fleets. I played a lot, but was not aware that there is a "build rate". Where can I check it and could ...

Re: DW2 FAQ/QnA megathread - Ask your question here!

Hi!

I'm not sure if this thread is still active, but I try one question:

If I have "known locations" of a specific resource in the resource list: Is there a way to find out where these locations are?

Thanks.

Thanks for this.

Am I the only one with a somehow "broken" layout of the guide (I use Googe Docs)?

Re: DW2 FAQ/QnA megathread - Ask your question here!

Is running just shields or just armour a viable method of ship design or should I be putting both on? One of the Let's Players mentioned that early on "armor only" is better against pirates, because you get less damage to modules than with shields. I don't know if that's correct. I go for...

Too many "automatic" troops

Hi,

in my first playthrough I had Troop Recruiting on automatic (default options) and in the mid game I had more than 100 hundred recruited (although expensive ones) which ruined my economy completely.

Perhaps a bug?

Thanks a lot for all your answers.

Next question:

Does researching several projects have any negative effects in comparison with researching always only one project?

2. You can just design the large mining station and retrofit the old ones to the new standard .
Yes. I didn't had the size yesterday and it's easier than expected, thanks.

Re: Automation recruits an economy crippling number of troops

BTAxis wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 7:04 am You can tune the number of troops built by the automation by using the expenses settings. If you lower the allocation to troop maintenance and/or increase the portion of your income you want to go into your reserves, fewer troops will be built.
Good tip, thank you.

Re: DW2 FAQ/QnA megathread - Ask your question here!

More questions :?:

How does upgrading stations to different sizes work?

1. Can I upgrade a small space port to a medium spaceport or do I have to build a new one?

2. What about mining station after you research bigger ones?

Thanks :-)

Re: DW2 FAQ/QnA megathread - Ask your question here!

The private economy has to maintain them. And they can not scrap them. It is trivial to crash your Private economy that way. Also keep in mind that mining ships are a thing. They can deal with the odd resource not covered by your mining stations. I really forgot that there are mining ships. Do you ...

2. Survey can explore a planet to a much higher degree, but at the cost of needing much more time. 3. The default setting has the Explorers Survey anything that is colonizeable or has Hidden items Thanks! So "explore" is detecting also the resources of a planet and not "only" th...

Re: How to queue ship orders?

In DW Universe you could give a ship multiple orders, for example you could tell a contructor to build 2 mining stations and a small space port and the constructor would build those without any interaction needed. Personally i found it one of the Misunderstanding from my side. I thought you meant o...

Re: How to queue ship orders?

You can purchase as many ships as you can afford and then the production is automatically queued. Or did I miss somesthing here?
