Minimum amount of tiles on a planet?

[Bragi]

Is there a minimum of tile on a planet?
I am currently reading through the buildings and am just curious about the possibilities. E.g. some higher tier buildings need 15 pop, wich is impossible to get on small planets since they don't have these amount of tiles. I like such restrictions very much, it involves planning.

I don't know about the minimum tiles and I didn't know about the buildings requiring a min. population, but such restrictions as you said are awesome

The minimum is 16 and the maximum amount of tiles are 25. (4x4 up to 5x5)

 

[Denkt]

16 is not the minimum, I have seen some that have had less then 10 slots.

In one of Quills videos/streams he had a planet with 10 tiles (3x3 and one "sticking out").

This was quite sure not a Planet, but a Moon, Which We can colonize, too.

Planet or world is here used as a term for all celestial bodies. In gameplay terms there is not difference between a moon and a planet.

I can't swear to it. But I think the minimum is 9 tiles (3x3)

//EDIT: Asked some QA guys, and someone actually saw a 7 once.

Awesome, thank you BjornB (or Kumakun)!

i can't remember where it was, but i'm pretty sure i saw a planet with nine tiles. that's the minimum apparently. it might have been the blorg prime stream.

I'm not the same Björn as Kuma-Kun I'm the Björn known from such popular streams such as Wurst Wedding Wednesday. I know nothing about sound.

 

[Bragi]

Ah, the Wurst Wedding-Björn! Sorry for confusing you lol!
Wiz and cKnorr were talking ... funny things while playing the Blorg...

Will homeworlds always have the same size?

Homeworlds are always size 16, yes.

 

[Haldan]

Homeworlds are always size 16, yes.

A pinch of dull, but I suppose a majority of players would restart the game until they would get the biggest size.

Homeworld is basically a gaia planet so it would be a huge disadvantage to start with a smal one.

 

[Alex_brunius]

A bit small if max is 25. Most I think would want their starting "core" homeworld, or those of their enemies to be among the most powerful worlds. Now they seem fairly average, or slightly above average.

I would have expected 20 (5x4) to be a more fitting size for the core of future galactical empires.

But I guess it can add some fun too when you have to go out and search for more big "core" worlds or big sector capitals. We will see soon

Could also be interesting if size was varying a bit maybe between 16-20 and if you got a smaller one you got more resources instead or even a separate colonizable moon with something like 7-8 slots in the same system. Basically add some variations without making it unfair.

I would think that it is possible to shift your capital world to a larger, "better" planet. While your homeworld will always be the homeworld, it doesn't make sense for it to remain the capital once your empire spans the stars.

Tell that to fanatical xenophobes
