Planetary Apocalypse and Planet Printout

Post by zgrssd »

It would help if there was a way to "print out" the entire planet generation, in text form. It is hard to make something for the After Action Report Forum with a single 200 KiB Image per post. But a good old .txt file with that data could be easily copy&pasted

The Apokalypse step of planet generation could use some improovements:
- a option to reroll it. Because...why not? I get to reroll lierally everything else. Aside from the algorythm being deterministic, I can not think of a reason for having no reroll option

- events on the Apocalypse timeline that have the potential for mass death or even plain destroyed cities (nuked cities, crashing spaships, mad warlords) should really mention how many they killed (total and/or percent of the remaining population).

I had a planet/moon of 43.2 Million.
Lost 1.9 Million to starvation
Lost 4 Million to the war itself
Survivor population: 0.368 million.
Somehow there is a gap of ~37 Million in the death-records. I somehow do not know where 85% of the original population went!

I am guessing it is one of the bigger cities being destroyed or damaged - some of those left 3 ruins so propably a high population - but I really can not say for sure.

There are a few more things that should appear in the log on the right side:
- when starvation started/trade collapse happened
- start of Combat between Reformist and Loyalsts
- collapse of the Government

Right now I have examples like, wich feel a bit jumpy/disjointed:
