Q: Options when starting a game ...

[Von Thoma]

Hi there,

have the devs, youtuber etc. somewhere shown which Settings/Options will be possible, when we start a new game !

My friends and I always dislike the settings how such games want to tell us, that every rock and planet even close to a habitable planet is also the best to settle.

So in EVERY game of 4x it is a grab everything and make a paridise out of it ,,,
even when we put that settings to every resource and inhabitable planets to rare, we end up with overproduction and dozens of planets ... so most of the time after you have 10-20% of the map you have too much of already everything.

SO WILL THERER be settings/Options in that game, that the starting planets ARE REALLY SOMETHING Special and the jewels of the universe and that it will be seldom BUT possible to find some planets of equal or better Quality ?

When I watched that Paradox Streams it was opposite ... millions of planets to settle and once again, the feeling
"CIV CITY managment on an empty map"

Anyone a link to proper Infos THANK YOU

 

[Hull-Tanker]

Yes they have.

In the Blorg Stream/first vid on YT Wiz shows how the galaxy creation works....

oh thanks ... found some, where youtubers started a new game

WHAT JOKE PARADOX :-(

not really ANY serious possibility to choose how you want to Play that game apart from

1.) SIZE 200-1000 planets and which shape
2.) How many AI (up to 48 in that vids I found)
3.) Ironmode y/n

A real joke ...
so we have to text edit that ourself ?

Special sandbox games should really have A LOT more options to choose from ...

Those are just the galaxy options, not your faction options, of which there are tons...

Habitable planets are fairly rare (about every third system?) and you can't deal with every type at first, just 1/7 (1/9 with additional rare types), and your main species is okay-ish with like 3 out of those, even if they *can* colonize all (the remaining four have 0-20% base habitability. Terrible idea).

 

[SgtSmuckers]

Srsly? Your starting planet determines the habitability on other planets and is the JEWEL OF UR SPECIES, as it is 100% habitable. If your homeworld is a ocean and you settle on a desert world, you are obviously going to have little to no habitability there. Gaia worlds are the only planet type that are equal to your homeworld and are rare.

We haven't even looked at the plethora of choices that is available from the Solar System Initialiser, there may be a whole lot of choices, all of which we will not know until release, so there's really no use complaining if you haven't even tried the game for yourself.

Man you must have not followed the game at all. If i get your main complaint right, planet micromanagement have an actual ceiling and everthing beyond X(probably 5 at start) will need to be managed through a "vassal" system.
It's also a lot trickier to fill up planet types since you NEED to "convince" other species to do it for your empire.

The guy has no main point. It's just a futile attempt to clutter up this forum with more junk.

Now, aside from lacking options of; "How many empty star systems with junk etc" - "how rare should rare resources be" etc, i'd say they've done a good enough job on the galaxy creation - and the species creation is the best thing i've ever seen.
And the only thing I desperatly want on release is a "Generate players in clusters" option. I'd love to co-op. Of which the devs have said a "maybe" on

To me this just seems like complaining for the sake of complaining?

*shrug*

These sort of people target subjects they know will anger other people.

In some way, the annoyed reception of each of these trolling threads is a testament to the average forum user.

 

[McDog]

I'll set up a mod just for the OP. Habitable planets in Galaxy = 3 x ( num of selected species ).

Have a rollicking good time bro.

How about informing yourself before going on a rant about how the game is "A JOKE"?
Honestly.
