Hello all.
I have been following along with DasTactic tutorials.
He advises trying to get a gravity of around .4
With the new update, I downloaded today I can't get below .5
What is the range of gravity that will allow me to play without impacting the game?
Would .8 as a maximum be ok?

Ignore it, gravity impact is irrelevant (it have some influence on wind speed & amount of metals in core for deep mining - nothing really important for gameplay).
Not every recommendation is worth following it

Gravity is tied to the map size. The larger the map, the larget the planet, the heavier gravity.

Das Tactics Arugment was this:
- decent Gravity is required for Atmosphere
- Atmosphre is required for life
- So if you want life, try to get at least 0.4 G

0.5G > 0.4G. Therefore the requirement is met.

Note that his toutorial was before the planet history selections. Those kinda change the rules a bit.

Many thanks, sir.

Many thanks, sir.

I would also mention that in gameplay there are three notable differences between planet with some life and planet with no life:

1) If that was alien life & evolved up to non-water lifeform then you will get oil. But there is no guaranty that you will see that oil around your starting point There is a way to generate own oil too.

2) If alien lifeforms will evolve to large land-based forms - you will get them as enemies. Sometimes quite scary enemies.

2) On planets eligible to open-farming (they could both have and not have alien life - with alien life it should be not too bio-aggressive) is much easier to feed your people in long run.

Technically lifeless planets are fine (and usually even more fun to play if you aren't fan of xeno-fauna).
