Oh yes, please! I do need to read more about the jungles of Blorg Prime!
I don't see any reason why the art would need to be changed. The Swedish subway system already produces new fungi species, this looks like the logical next step.
While I'd like to see the big metro regions in game, I think the energy districts on Earth should stick to things like "North Sea Wind Turbine Fields", "Saharan Solar Project", "San Andreas Geothermal", "Eastern Desert Oil Reserves" etc and find some other way to get the cities in.
Maybe as unique features that add a trade power buff, or give extra housing, or make Earth be able to support more districts than its base size would support ? Idk
So long as Energy Credits remain a halfway-point between pure energy resources and currency, it makes sense they'd be generated by some urban developments.
Energy credits are probably the best method of measuring the value of competitive currencies and if you think it about it, there's nothing else we could really use as to measure how strong an economy is (whether that be through private trade or to measure a gestalt consciousness' total output). The value of material goods is highly subjective. One nation may highly value oil while another has no use for it, while yet another has enough to meet their needs but is in serious need of uranium.
All of these things can be measured in the total energy it costs to manufacture them into a useful state or in the amount of energy they output. So while in-universe this trade is for goods, services and all the other usual financial hocus pocus, it gets abstracted to energy production as at the end of the day, that's what drives the economy.

this is a confusion of terms, cryptocurrencies, are specifically currencies that get their value from cryptography, you're thinking of block-chain regulated currency. the media tend to conflate the two, so the spread of this confusion isn't unexpected. you could have a normal currency, controlled by a banking system, that is valued only on cryptography as well.
edit: didn't see the moderator's post, i guess i'll leave it here and let them remove it if they want.

Making my fourth attempt at playing the Pingus in the internal build. So far, it's going adorably well :3

Once again, the Pingus have spawned at the very edge of the galaxy. So far, our only encounters have been with Bubbles and her less friendly cousins.

Reworked habitability penalties
Twitter
The colonization block at 20% habitability and growth penalties may be gone, but low habitability is nothing to be trifled with in Le Guin - if you want to settle an inhospitable world, you better have the resources to sustain it!

I really like that change, I think it'll make the hability bonuses feel more rewarding!
Do I see Trade routes."Once again, the Pingus have spawned at the very edge of the galaxy. So far, our only encounters have been with Bubbles and her less friendly cousins.

VOC spirit intensive.
It looks like every world will be colonisable from the start, even Tomb Worlds, and even maybe for Life-Seeded Empires:
Q: So how are Tomb Worlds handled now? Do they have something special to prevent species from colonizing them? Or will pops here just need 2x the amount of amenities, housing needs, and upkeep?
A: The latter. You can settle a tomb world, but expect to pay out the nose for all the special equipment your colonists will need.

I really like the reworked effects of habitability. They are a lot more intuitive now. Can imagine the living domes necessary for non-adaptable pops.
So can we presume that trade routes will be created system to system, with "trade value" leveraged as a summation of value per system?
