<t> Had this happen just the other day on round 8! The only time I've full on rage quit and save scummed. I had just gotten a cap V that was perfect for the role, after getting a bunch of fool cap I and II with no war scores, plopped him in and he gets killed 3 rounds later. RNGesus obviously hated ...

<t> i realize it probably is RNGesus playing games like Soar_Slitherine says, but I have found more often than not, it seems that spacing out mechanized units with infantry tends to get the odds higher, so I do much what you do in the 2nd pic. 2-3 buggies, tanks, etc and then 2-3 infantry (foot and ...

We had a thread a few weeks ago and Vic came in support also. Now it's in the beta as people are pointing out. SO AWESOME!

<t> Oh absolutely agreed! I haven't read that book in ages, but it is one of many things I think about, depending on the planet I roll. I would love to see more hex asset points of interest in the future, little weird things that add flavor to the world and a token bonus. This game is so amazing. I ...

yes! that would be so awesome! that was really close to what i was thinking in my head.

<t> Really, you've just gotta brute force it and keep rolling until you get it. I've successfully generated Dune like worlds on Seth, Limos, Morgana and Siwa. The key on the non Seth worlds is lower temperatures, because that generally rolls low water worlds and you can get 0% water, although there ...

<t> Hey Vic! <br/>
<br/>
What are your plans for the future of planet generation, if you wish to share? <br/>
<br/>
I ask because I have been playing this game solidly, with just a few breaks, since launch, and frankly, I am tired of rolling for random planets. I have seriously spent dozens of ...

<t> the only ones you're going to have an easy time doing this with are Siwa, Hydra and Morgana. They are the ones closest to Earth. With the Alien Life history option selected, I've been successful at it with Boreas, Limos and Random, but you've gotta go warmer and higher gravity. i vaguely recall ...

<t> it's been a long time since i've rolled a megacity world because i don't like how hard it makes the economy in the early game, but IIRC, they used to get up into the tens of billions. i seem to recall 17 billion as the highest i've ever seen. i spent a few days over the summer just rolling ...

<t> anecdotally, it seems that metals and oil deposits are likely to spawn under ruins. i do like the suggested idea that the previous civs hadn't exploited them before the collapse. it really does wonders for your RP and immersion to see stuff like this pop up on a planet. i've been on a planet ...

VIC YOU ARE THE BEST DEV, SERIOUSLY!

<t> I don't feel like this is a bug, as it's been in the game since launch, but it seems to be getting more pronounced as the game advances. I don't know whether it's a suggestion or just something to discuss so I'm putting it here. <br/>
<br/>
Major players are far too close together. Most games ...

eventually, you can have vast regions of just agricultural fields, hills and mountains. it takes time but in some of the long games i've played, i had almost no forest in my core regions, and in major AI regions.

Wow, this is fantastic work Vic! Thank you so much for this. This game is really coming along. I am loving the new xeno minor regimes. So far, playing with them is great. I just did want to echo Elver's minor ask to reorder the planets just purely for prettiness. Thanks again!

i am so so so excited about the possibility of sapient alien civs. even if you can't play them, it would be neat to play against and alongside them. i'd love the chance to ally with the arachnids too, just because they are cool.

<t> I pretty much agree with you. These days, I find myself more RPing in the game, rather than going specifically for victory, and I'm learning to appreciate the other profiles a lot more. Just did a playthrough with Meritocracy/Government/Heart and that was pretty fun. I actually had a glut of Cap ...

oh my gods, i have been playing this game for 7 months now and had no idea! that's so awesome. thanks!

<t> There isn't an explicit option, but there is a workaround to get you kinda close to it! During worldgen, on the History Class screen, if you select Haven of Calm, Robinson Crusoe and Outpost, you're going to get a mostly peaceful, sparsely populated world with only minor regimes. This should ...

<t> World generation has been a bugbear since launch back in June. Things have gotten a bit better but this is definitely something that needs to be tweaked. I wish that there would be selectable profiles for planets, similar to the History Class screen, as that would make things cool until we ...
