Customizable planet gen + start preferences
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2024 2:13 am
In games Shadow Empire I like to create scenarios and role play those scenarios. But due to the near total random nature of planet/map gen in SE, this game of playstyle is VERY painful. I can literally spend an entire afternoon trying to get the planet/map that I want to a given playthrough.
So I wanted to suggest a change to planet gen to allow for players to enter their own values rather than purely relying on random number generators. This would allow people to easily and quickly generate whatever planet style they want to play on. An alternative idea that might be easier to implement would be to allow a player to bookmark rolls that they like but want to continue rolling to see if they can generate more favorable values.
My second suggestion is to give players the ability to save regime name, color, and flag values. This is such a minor change but I feel would have a huge impact to QOL.
