is the "evaluation" task you get after building your first dome supposed to be the end of your colony main task? The way the game says "ok here's your score makes me interpret it as the intended end of your save, but because I've been hella slow and after 100 sols I'm only just starting on my first medium dome (I did build 2 small ones right next to each other). edit: I'm talking about finishing "export 100 rare metals to earth" or "research 40 technologies" assignments double nine fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Mar 18, 2018 |

I built one, filled it with nurseries, schools, playgrounds and an automatic grocer and diner and toggled children off in all domes but that one and made it child exclusive and now instead of moving there on their own they just sit wherever they spawned and die in the gutters. They will not move unless I manually make them and it's pissing me off. Movement between domes seems to have a massive dependence on available shuttle hubs

You will have much better luck with more of a "procreation dome" setup where you make it comfortable and have a bunch of housing, then put a medical spire with the birth rate upgrade in it, and a bunch of nurseries schools and playgrounds. I think kids need adults around to look after them? If you stack up comfort you'll get people loving like rabbits and then the young unspecialized adults can move into a college dome with a bunch of universities/exercise fields to get them educated/fit, then they can move into specialist domes once they've qualified. E: also yea maybe you need shuttles? I built all my domes right next door to each other and I get a lot of movement though so it might be distance related. This is my gently caress dome, you can see it basically exploded my population:

Shibawanko posted:Yeah I guess I was hoping for a more realistic game. I want a game where I can go "holy poo poo my crew got the generator working again, now we can save the greenhouse!" rather than "let's throw another city in this empty field here" For as goofy as it looks if you take any sponsor other than the "literal tutorial super easy sponsor" you'll definitely have moments like that. The game is as easy, or hard, as you make it. As for shuttles, I have seen people just hoofing it incredibly far. That seems to be the exception to the rule, but something that does happen now and then. Edit: Oh god, I hope you didn't take Church of the New Ark, because with their birthrate increase that dome would drown your entire map.

That might be a migration issue then yeah, how close is it to your other buildings and do you have a shuttle service? Also do you have other domes with work for the youths, or things that will pull them out such as making the childcare dome not allow them, or have other domes prefer them or people without specializations (which they won't start with)?

In regards to the childcare dome there was a dev post on their forums (sorry, on phone and don't have the link) that more or less said you'll need some available adult job slots in that dome for when the children grow up, or something along those lines.

Just had a hell of a close call during the early days of a new colony. Had a dust storm blow in while both rockets were on the ground, which is a shame as one was about to take off and go get my first wave of colonists. I had enough solar panels up to just about squeak by during the day, and I could survive the night by shutting down my concrete machines, but the maintenance costs on the place were absolute hell. Once the dust finally cleared (after over five sols) I had two polymer left in the stockpile. I basically had to shut down all my batteries except the least damaged one and limp along switching stuff off at night until the first rocket could turn around and bring in some much needed supplies. At least when the next storm hit I was prepared. Plenty of supplies ready, enough wind farms up that I could just switch off the solar arrays for the duration, and I managed to get a rocket landed, unloaded and launched again the day before it arrived. Now I just need to get dome 2 up and running so I can start exporting metals and get some money coming in.

How do you set colonist priority for domes? I don't mind having a retirement dome, but don't want them clogging up my main domes. Regarding power of three mystery they seemed confused I made decorations. is there another result from that mystery?

DreamShipWrecked posted:Is there a way to get kids to move into a college dome on their own, or do you have to dump them over there individually? My last game I set a single dome to prefer untrained workers. That was enough (along with preferences set for trained workers elsewhere) was enough to filter almost all the untrained people into my college dome eventually. It worked well enough that I almost always had 1-2 homeless despite having 3 apartments in a size-1 dome and the college working a full 3 shifts.

College dome should prefer unspecialized youths, that should get most of your kids to move straight there and go to university. Have some low importance jobs for them to do or just a bunch of recreational jobs, diners and the like.

So I guess there's no achievement for beating Wildfire? I kept supplying the shuttles until I got a popup saying the earth was cured, it gave me a free wonder tech, told me I could keep shipping curetatos back for extra money for some reason. It's sad, I actually felt like I, uh, achieved something with this crisis. The game is slow for sure, but 200%+ difficulty seems to be where it starts involving making challenging decisions.

I've never seen that issue before unless you're talking about people filling in for jobs they aren't trained for. The main issue is there's not enough people to fill the positions. The game goes "specialists first" then "warm bodies" to fill the slot. You need to import more of the right specialist, or train them with a mars college.

I don't think colonists working out of their skill range makes them unhappy, it just makes them not as good at their job. If they're unhappy it generally means they aren't getting the recreation facilities they need or are working nightshift/overtime. You get 12 colonists per shuttle by default, and you can hand pick them if you want to. Otherwise you can just set which types you particularly want/absolutely don't want and it'll give you a grab bag. People work 8 hours, sleep 8 hours, and I think relax the other 8, so if you have a building that needs 3 people per shift, you'll need 6 people to run it for both shifts, or 9 to run it 24/7. You need a lot of people to run things, basically, something like an electronics factory running 24/7 will use up about 3 standard housing units of people to run it, so you need to invest in bigger domes and higher density housing really if you're going to be running those.
