I'm not getting any more trade route slots after level 100 even though the rewards section in the corp screen lied and told me I'd gotten 2 more.  Level 115 now with 1.32M pop and 1.14M credits/minute on expert, Viridian and Walbruck are completely full, but I still have most of the biggest island in Cape Ambar free.  I want to try that 2170 ARRC mod for 2070 now, but I made the mistake of uninstalling 2070 at some point and it's a huge clusterfuck to get it working now. I'm in a seemingly endless cycle of the game telling me it needs to reboot to activate Deep Ocean and never actually doing it.

Good Lord Fisher! posted:Even more optional. This kind of sucks. Combat in 2070 was great at adding another layer of depth. Especially since some of those AI's would be so hilariously inept at managing their assets. Like the sleazy oil baron dude, who'd inevitably have a tanker leak after the eco-terrorist faction put a few torpedoes in it.

The population imbalance kinda weirds me out. Nearly a million investors vs 14 thousand workers, seems to me the balance should be the other way around.

Or you could wait for ubisoft to patch and fix it. Which might happen before the real calender moves past the game name. Yeah I found an "offline" version of the Deep Ocean patch in this thread, which fixed it. 2205 is such an improvement UI-wise holy poo poo. In 2070 there's so much clicking between building tabs, even more so with this mod since it adds a whole bunch of buildings. 2205's copy and move tools are such huge timesavers I was getting annoyed at 2070 within minutes.

I would just ignore the idea that you're running a corporation because it doesn't make any sense and didn't in 2070 either.. You have a civilian population whose levels of wealth are analogous to a corporate chain.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread by someone else, but my interpretation is that the population numbers are the number of people living in a given "level" of buildings. So for investor buildings, you've got one investor in the building who lives in the penthouse, a few executives in suites below that, then a whole bunch of fancy apartments for employees, and finally the lower half of the building, and possibly something like 20 sub-basements, is filled with regular workers in apartments.

Are there any statistics on your cities available anywhere? I'm trying to figure out the most credit-maintenance-heavy bits of my cities to upgrade, I'm running a deficit

A good rule of thumb is that Moon > Arctic > Temperate, and the higher tier a production line requires/supplies the more it costs. It doesn't appear that there's any way to drill down on what your maintenance costs are actually being spent on though.

I'm trying to figure out the most credit-maintenance-heavy bits of my cities to upgrade, I'm running a deficit No useful stats, but I'm 99% sure your money problem is the Moon. If you really want to save money, level up the moon until you unlock anti-grav, shut everything down and just import the bio-enhancers and antigrav from the world market. If you want to produce that stuff yourself, make sure you don't waste money on overproduction (except ice because that's unavoidable). The mines and factories for bio-enhancers, fusion cells and anti-grav are extremely expensive. This goes for all the top tier luxuries really, if you're running a deficit you need to keep an eye on this. It's a bit of a pain but you can save a bunch of money by splitting transport routes above 20 but below 100 into several routes of 20.

I'm not at the moon yet, I only just started loving around in the Arctic. Ended up deleting all my wind turbines, since I had the dam open in my temperate map, and that solved the problem for now.

Is there any easy way to find your buildings? I'll get notices that for example Intelliwear is low and then I have to spend five minutes looking for where I put the Intelliwear factory. Any alternatives? Thanks.

Watched Quill's new video, which involves trying the arctic conflict zone on medium difficulty and Jesus Christ that looks rough. How the gently caress does the Confederate States of the Moon get battleships on Earth that are bigger than a modern aircraft carrier?

The medium difficulty conflicts arent so bad as long as you are constantly planning your moves ahead and making use of the special powers constantly. I've unlocked the Advanced battles and jesus christ those are tricky.

I've been cruising through every Advanced battle easily.  Use EMPs/Wave Mines to delay patrols so you don't have to fight more than necessary, Shielding before taking damage is much more effective than Repairing damage, and make sure you use your pick-ups because things will target Support Fleets over your guys, and the nuke strikes can take entire patrols down. Always take the opportunity to multiply your pick-ups - there's usually a few places where a well-placed nuke/fleet will take care of a guard in front of several pick-ups, and you can take down the huge battlecruisers with just two pick-ups and they drop a shitload of stuff. Of course, spending the cash to keep your fleet up to date makes a big difference.

I've been so addicted to this game it's crazy. I just expanded to the moon and my employees there don't seem to generate any income for me. I've been in the red big time and have to keep getting loans. Building moon houses doesn't seem to help, so at this point I'm back to my Earth settlements to generate more income to support my failing moon settlement.

It's possible to make money in the arctic when you're in that phase where you're maxing out the needs for the various levels there. But yeah, your main money maker is the temperate zone.

I just got investors in my temperate zone so they should bring in some money.

An early trick I found was building canneries in lines (using production modules of course) which produced enough heat for me to have space for two houses/side. Using a logistics or power module between the production modules helped extend this line even further. This can be done with just about any factory really, Neuro Implant factories are pretty good since you need a bajillion of them for your temperate zones.

I just import it directly. You get it cheaper than you can make it and don't have to deal with the massive power consumption and land usage. I'll only stoop to making the poo poo myself when I cap out the import route. Hezzy posted:Any tips or suggestions for building in the arctic zone?

Holy loving god the moon is expensive, it's mega cool though, I mean I'm literally on the moon mining space rocks for cash money Also vineyards look fuckin weird in 200 years  I really wish that stupid "POSTCARD MODE" label would vanish for screenshots, so I just edited it out of this pretty one  Anyways this game owns bones and I'm having so much more fun than previous Anno games, I love how they've streamlined some things, so much more enjoyable of a game experience to me.

Ghostlight posted:I import, I just kept my supply lines all built but turned off because I'm playing on hard and I'm paranoid as hell that import prices might be radically rebalanced at any moment and plunge me into inescapable bankruptcy. Honestly most of the goods are so much cheaper than you could ever produce them yourself that they could double the prices overnight and you'd still nearly come out ahead by importing, especially for all the lunar goods. For an example, assuming all production buildings are fully expanded: Bioenhancers need 1 rare earth element to produce. Rare earth elements are made at 200 credits/unit. Bioenhancers are made at a cost/unit of 514.3. Total cost of 714.3 credits/unit to make just in raw production costs, not including workforce or power requirements. Let's say you need 150 of them. To make them yourself you're looking at 107,143 credits for the production and another 10,000 for the transfer route (a full capacity medium cargo shuttle) for a total cost of 117,143 credits. Importing it costs 412 credits/unit at the time of this post for a total cost of 62,670 factoring in the 1,000 credit elevator car. Cost of importing is 53.5% of making it yourself. I'm not sure how much of this is a factor of people just mindlessly overproducing and shipping poo poo off and how much of it is just a factor of their pricing algorithm not allowing enough fluctuation.
