The Last Colonies - Sci-fi TBS/RP - OOC / Always Open

[Farsview]

I can do a straight up trade. year 21, q1.

climatology, for hydrology?

Sure!

[Auricium]

Yay!

edit burning, did you account for the extra RP cost, with the already existing secret projects?

Also, it what would be really useful, is for people to start posting ICly if they had a secret project, so we can run a count or something.

Well, mine are all appended at the end of my base figures as something pretentious behind a |.

Current those include the Logistics Array (Happy per base), Genome Database (Health per Pop), Cathedral of Man (Extra BP), and Spire of Eternity (power plus on continent).

My unique unit is the Walking Factory (build but needs petrols), and my unique building is the Spire Superstructure (reduced expansion costs for energy and RP).

You could always just move them out, or let them starve if you don't want the population. The trouble is that currently for every five population you hold on Elentei, you can hold an additional 7 outside anywhere completely free of downsides. That's powerful, no matter how you spin it. I'd happily put double Wealth into my Projects to get doubled bonuses for epic Lolz, but there's a reasonable limit on how powerful each project is.

Besides, you still have plenty more to build. You'll survive if your first one only provides an awesome bonus, not a game-breaking one.

I think it's the way my brain works. I can't settle for simply "good," it has to be better.

And besides, I'd like to mention the Walking Factory. Considering when it showed up, that thing was way more OP. My recent proposal still stands, but I have to go sleep, and since I already hate typing on a phone, this is it for the night.

You can copy other People's SPs.

0,5 Happiness per capital is still pretty dope as it provides a net surplus of 1.5 Health for every 5 units of population. Health is supposed to get more and more expensive as your population develops, not cheaper.

If you want to, you can scrap the Utopia project and invest all its BP, wealth and RP elsewhere or get different bonuses for Utopia, like free housing or increased PP, perhaps better population growth rate.

Does that mean 4 SP including other People's SPs.

You can build 4 SPs, original or copy.

Wait...
We get a special unit AND a special building?
Damn, I should create one right away.

MY original Idea was either or.

I believe there was a big discussion about that earlier, yerp. I'm the only one that chose an economic unique unit though.

Well, I'm back.

Thing is, I'd have to hold 5 Population in my capital for every 7 elsewhere. Eventually, it gets somewhat impractical, and for me, I'm already very close to that limit.

I did have an alternate effect for the Utopia Project, which was that Population simply doesn't generate negative Health/Happiness, but Happiness(+ or -) that doesn't come from PP is figured into your total PP.

As in having +3 Happiness would give you +3 PP, but having -1 Happiness would give you -1 PP. Obviously, I don't think negative PP is a thing.

[Auricium]

Wait, we also get a unique building?

[Harkback Union]

@ Auricium unit unique or unique building.

@ Burning Maybe, but I would still prefer a flat bonus for health.

[Auricium]

Oh okay. Cuz I saw G-tech with a spire structure, and walking factory.

[Harkback Union]

Oh okay. Cuz I saw G-tech with a spire structure, and walking factory.

Those were both SPs

[Auricium]

Um okay. So the logistics, genome and cathedral are also SPs?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hm, I'm fairly certain the Walking Factory was a UU. Or an event, I forget what you told me.

[Farsview]

Can you please describe your 'Cathedral of Man'?
I'm want to know so I can change the name/description of my 'Planetary Cathedral' (so other people are not confused).

Also, if the ideologies behind the cathedrals conflict, can I mention yours in my IC?

Ah, UU it was then.

Ah. The Cathedral of Man is less a religious construction than it is a descriptor for a magnificent building; the Cathedral is a series of immense cooling towers and smelters that recycle the waste materials from industrial production in the Stellar Ascendancy to ensure maximum efficiency is derived from the labor of the populace. They stretch up a hundred stories and glean like towers in the sun gilding the sea, so they look pretty cool from a distance. Nothing theological about them though.

@ Auricium unit unique or unique building.

@ Burning Maybe, but I would still prefer a flat bonus for health.

Well, I would prefer a scale-able bonus, so unless there are any further objections...

I think Hark's point was that if bonuses scale they are smaller. Like I get happiness for every base I build, but only one happiness, meaning the Base Core worker is happiness-free.

These are smaller, just a simple removal of Happiness and Health costs for Population in my capital, plus some extra non-loopable PP.

I would really like to avoid knocking out both happiness and health costs for bases entierly. If there are no health and happiness penalties for a base, you can infinitely stack population there without any drawbacks.

Except for the ever-increasing BP costs of supporting that population and/or giving them something to do.

I know it makes maintaining the economy computer harder, but I don't like the road/monorail mechanics, in that it makes strategically spreading infrastructure around your empire like you'd have to do IRL completely pointless.

The penalty caps at 3 BP, its not ever increasing and there are several ways to partially go around it (I'm not giving any of you Ideas on how though). Initially, I wanted to charge transportation costs but then I remembered that the last time I did that the RP failed miserably due to its mind boggling complexity. Regardless, it still makes sense to spread around infrastructure. If you cramp all your energy production into one base and it gets rekt, your entire industry will be brought to a halt.
