i Don't get me wrong, I like this change and will happily test it for bugs, but I don't think this addresses the way that a "harmonized" networked race is represented by slavery and being worked to death, especially among natives of their species. I can't think of a single hive-mind entity in all of ...

My comments were in reference to non-Tinkers population who were captured and made part of the cybernetic collective by force, not the Tinkers themselves. Tinkers are essentially born into the Harmonized state, and were never independent. When they are disconnected, they don't become discontent, but ...

In a turn-based game, transit times must always be whole integer values, and so it's not really possible to eliminate rounding errors in some situations.

We appreciate the continued interest of all of you in the game, and I hope we can corral as many of you as possible when the time for serious testing comes.

What's that? New fertility ratings? Fertility isn't just low, high, or infertile anymore? Tell us more!

(And if this means there's a further incentive to stick agriculture on gaia worlds, I am all for it; it seems appropriate.)
Things are still in flux, so any explanation is likely to be obsolete ...

We're making progress. Sven coded up the first pass on the new terraforming system, and we're currently doing internal testing on it.

hoho... that was my 1337th post. I'm officially "leet."

We've known about the issue with refitting troopships for a while, but it hasn't seemed like a priority to fix... if you're willing to take that ship and that planet out of commission for a turn and manually refit and unload every turn, then I'm not going to lose too much sleep if you get some low ...

Potential QoL improvement:

Currently if a fleet contains ships with both standard and long range ships, the entire fleet including the long range ships are limited to the standard range.
If sending any long range ships to a distant location is desired they must be individually selected before the ...

Thanks for the upload.

They would be worse as having massive clouds of nuclear fallout is bad condition for operating electronic devices needed to build anything (as well as biological ones :)) But we can of course rationalise both viewpoints
Barren worlds are bare to space, meaning habitat domes have to be able to ...

My goal is not to eliminate glassing planets as a viable strategy; it's to give it a significant opportunity cost, since right now the costs of recolonizing from scratch are trivial. I also think it hurts the sense of immersion and internal consistency when you can unleash a life-exterminating ...

I hadn't heard of that one before. Cute!

If there is a way to clean up fallout a project seems the best way to do it as it will then generate an alert when done and prompt for new build order
As with any other production project or terraforming project, there is a notification when it is completed. But unlike the production queue (which ...

Did you plan out a planet degredation mechanic for the DLC?
The way it's currently planned, fallout reduces the habitability (max pop) of the planet independently of planet type and terraforming, scaling with the severity of the bombardment, and at maximum severity reducing habitability to the ...
