I've got to imagine that the vast majority of civilizations, when placed in Space Jail, would exhaust all their planet's resources in a few generations on futile attempts to break out. Alternatively if they've got access to antimatter & matter replication technologies they can literally live off rocks & magma forever.

Is there a fix for the bug where there will be an announcement for a Precursor discovery on such and such planet, only for there to be nothing on that planet?

I had that same question... I just completed the last of the "Vaultaum" quest chain - I had to send in a science ship to their homeworld, but unfrotunately another science ship that happened to be in the next door system came along and 'surveyed' it, so now the popup for that quest chain / special project doesn't work. Speaking of which - are the buttons on a science vessel supposed to do anything? I'll have a science ship in a system, and I'll left click the "research special project" icon... and the ship won't do anything... or the "Survey this system" either... the only thing that gets them to do stuff is if I select the ship, then manually zoom out and click on the star itself.

One more quick question for the experts.... I'm playing as UN-starter race, I have about 10 colonised planets with 5 in a sector, in one spiral arm of a galaxy. In my 'backyard' I have a whole other spiral arm of a galaxy full on unpopulated planets that nobody has touched. However, they are all tiny and small (11 pop max). I was content to just grab the big ones (22 pop size +) and leave the others alone... Except my federation-associated neighbour, with good relations, is starting to grab them up - and I don't want that.... of course, I also don't want to grab a bunch of 10-11 sized planets as that will drive up my unity and research costs... Is the solution to colonize these planets, and then make them my vassals?

I also had something really weird happen... I had a level 5 scientist who also was the leader of a spiritualist faction that I really don't like. Long of the short, he was about to win the general election in my democratic government, when I had him go investigate a level 1 anomaly with (if I recall corretly) was a 0% risk due to him having the careful and paranoid traits... Three days before the election, his science ship blows up from what would be the most banal of asteroid scans... and my unity faction takes the presidency (much to my relief, but still...) That's not an effect from me picking "cutthroat politics", is it?

there are failed anomalies that will cause your science ship to catch on fire and explode after a time delay rather than immediately - perhaps that's what happened?

Wiz, could we please have some more empire colors? Much as I'd love having a hue/saturation/value bar so I could decide how bright/muted my empire likes their colors, having a dozen or two more would sure cut down on the likelihood that half your neighbors are going to wind up using the same pastel blue color as their primary color.

That's good because holy gently caress why do designers keep designing around "lets use similar brightness shades of red and green to distinguish these two very important things" when like 8% of men are going to have trouble with that. I guess because people with some sort of colour deficiency don't go into art and you get whole teams of people designing interfaces and graphics who never consider it? Even just a minor thing like making the green a lighter green and the red a darker red helps immensely.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Why are small planets not worth colonizing? Every owned planet (including ringworld sections and habitats) increases the unity cost of traditions by a fixed amount. A 25 size gaia world costs the same as a 10 size rock. Population also counts, but it doesn't matter where that is. Also, they count towards your Core Systems the same as big planets, despite being worth less. Finally, planet modifiers are more efficient on larger planets (+10% minerals on a world is better if you're producing 40 minerals than 20). All else equal, it is better to have one 20 size planet than 2 10 size planets, or even 2 15 size planets.

It should be noted that each colonized planet and each POP living on them applies the same penalty to research and unity costs regardless of them being in a sector or not. If you go nuts grabbing planets that are all undeveloped it can set you back considerably.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Why are small planets not worth colonizing? Essentially, the more planets your empire has to administrate, the more your research programs will suffer (research costs go up). Also, the bureaucratic machine of your empire starts getting more and more problems with keeping your space nation unified (unity costs go up). This means if you just colonize every tiny rock you come across, you can sometimes get planets too small to put down enough unity and research buildings to even maintain the status quo. Your empire becomes a bloated mess. (On the other hand, every tiny rock gives you another space port for sweet, sweet fleet cap. So as soon as you've run through most of the tech tree and nearly all the tradition trees, feel free to collect them all!) Generally, planets with less than 12 tiles are something you want to avoid like the plague during the early- and mid-game. Personally, I tend to avoid everything below 14 for as long as possible. A planet cap does not exist, by the way. Wiegieman is 100% wrong there, that cap got changed to a system one long ago. (Which makes stuff even more problematic, if you have let's say three size 8 shitholes in a single system, you could theoretically colonize all three and only use up one cap point. This of course would triple all the above mentioned problems. It's awesome if you get multiple large planets in a single system, though!  )

I subscribe to the policy that multi planet systems are good, because planets are the best way to get minerals and more planets means more star bases to build ships with. You can always just salvage technology from the floating wrecks of your enemies.
