Yet another thing wiz needs to get on asap. Make emotional color a free pickable trait We really need som more flavour traits in general. I hope we can pick Delicious to start with. Them the beginning blurb can talk about how we overcame our long history of cannibalism to work together.

If they're giving us EU4 levels of combat feedback there should be EU4 levels of unit design. Either we need quite a different battle system that provides way more meaningful options/strategies and feedback, or a greatly simplified unit designer that boils it all down to the few meaningful options the game's combat system is able to clearly convey.

I mean, it's been basically just this side of officially confirmed that war, and by extension presumably combat, is getting a major overhaul.

I hope in the war update they either totally gut and redo the ship design system or (and?!) the way combat and ship movement works and they ignore any complaints that "But I liked how it was!!!" Also as a secondary hope, I hope what ever they replace the systems with is actually better.

I can't remember off hand, is there anything in Utopia to address wide v tall more than it currently is? I know habitats are a thing but I can't tell how much they'll matter, since even with terraforming now it always seems like you need to expand a ton early on or you'll never keep pace with stuff like ship capacity.

GotLag posted:But if it's not a pun and not even funny then where's the joke? Ok, let me start over. 1. Hawking radiation is a thing that exists and relates to black holes bleeding mass. 2. A Penrose-Hawking singularity is a thing that exists. It also relates to black holes. 3. So, if you found a singularity where a black hole was bleeding mass, and that was titled "Penrose Radiation", you would connect Penrose to both Hawking and Singularity, and then realize the reference to Hawking radiation. 4. Obviously, the OP found that funnier than Peddling radiation. 5. Now that I've gone through that chain slowly, there is no possible way you will ever find it funny, but obviously people disagree on that point.

Yes, I am familiar with Hawking radiation and yes, I have heard of Penrose. The joke is that it's obviously not Hawking radiation in-game because there's nobody called Hawking in the player empire's scientific cadre, but it has, through the magic of narrative, ended up with a name that carries the same literal meaning as hawking, i.e. peddling. "Penrose radiation" is a meaningless substitution of one name for another and you should feel stupid and dumb. Hot Dog Day #82 posted:That science joke flew right over my head.

My only complaint with the ship designer right now is that it doesn't have a button to pull a random name for the name list.ulmont posted:If your reading comprehension were a bit better you might have noticed that I was the person trying to help you by explaining the joke, not the person who found it funnier than the current one, but please do gently caress off. Nice of you to try and help but I was attempting to use rhetorical questioning to suggest that the joke sucked rear end. Your feedback is appreciated, I will be less subtle in future.

The species screen should list all derived/modified species under their parent and allow you to collapse that parent. Having that hierarchical layer might resolve the issues with xenophobes being unhappy about alien overlords after modification, too.

Also have xenophobia modified by how related a species is.

How fast do ethics change relative to ethics divergence? An event turned my entire empire into fanatic militarist cockroaches and now I need to get them back to spiritualist before they get too pissed off.

It can take decades, your best bet is orbital mind control laser spam, satramine gas, and whatever the anti-divergence stuff from the traders is called. Edit: oh yeah and I'm still angry that modifying races after you uplift them removes the happiness boost

All I know about the periodic table is that if you're on Pointless, and a chemistry question comes up, you're going to $$WIN BIG$$ if you go with most elements you learned about from Star Control 2. Yttrium and Ytterbium especially.

Fun* fact: ytterbium, yttrium, terbium and erbium were all named after the same location where the mineral bearing them was first found, Ytterby in Sweden. *eh, maybe
