The potential mining stations menu does seem to take station range into consideration when displaying yields, and I think asteroids in range of a station stop showing up once it's built.

Mokotow posted:In DW2, if I have a colony in a system, and I find a luxury resource on a say lava planet (not my colony) that gives me a colony development boost, do I need to transport it to my colony? I plopped an MS there and it has the luxury resource in the hold - will traders bring it home automatically or do I need to manually set this resource level in the colony? So to answer my question, these luxury resources did get brought over by commercial freighters to the colony, where they function as ling as the population has access to them, depleting them slowly, though no idea what that depletion rate is. Also no idea how to manage the luxury good movement across multiple colonies - I guess that’s what the manual resource management pane, we’ll see how it works.

At the very least, you can set minimum resource quantities and at least in my experience, that sometimes kicks the AI into gear and more commercial freighters will bring said resource. Edit: So....after a few hundred hours of play Civiliation VI since its release, I only just realized now that there's a fully integrated map-pin system for denoting places of interest. I'd seen the icon for it but never bothered to check it out. One of my gripes with my last game was "I wish I could easily see which resources I haven't improved." Well, now I know. I am a very dense gamer most days. chaosapiant fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Nov 9, 2022 |

I'm reasonably sure the map pins in their current form were integrated from a UI mod a bit after Gathering Storm came out, so I don't blame you for not noticing it. I can't recall if the game even had a barebones version of that feature before that.

Call to Power 2 has some cool ones. One is basically a small 7 samurai RPG, another is a nuclear standoff, another is the conquests of alex the great. They're kinda easy to break, and the RPG one is a bit too RNG-y, but they were good fun.

Oh yeah, I remember that! It also had a space 4X total conversion that was basically a whole game of its own. Also a WW2 scenario, and a Fall from Heaven scenario. BTS was probably the most value I've ever gotten from a game purchase.

yeah. the space conversion is a bit basic, but it's a legit space 4x, like a simplistic moo/es or similar lol

Its stylish but not super well balanced. These mod previews were pretty cool and opened the door for lots of crazy mods. Ironically the mod that draws the most from that scenario was that Touhou mod where the modded civilizations basically get one of those customizable units for each "era." There is a 2/3rds translated romance of the three kingdoms mod with customizable heros that can really screw you over if your civilization leader dies in combat.

I actually really liked Civ6's scenarios and custom tech trees. I probably wouldn't replay them in ten years, but they were short and neat.

If Civ 7 was just 4 with a slight rebalance of the BTS content and a clean new UI as featureful as BUG, I’d pay $60 for it at launch. Hell, I’d pay $100.

Civ 2 was nuts for mods too, remember spending lunchtimes at high school downloading mods from Apolyton onto an actual physical disc. Someone did this 4-part mod of defending Russia in WW2 that was incredible: part 1 you just get smashed by panzers and dive bombers and then gradually you build back and the wave starts going in the other direction.

How is Distant Worlds 2 post patch? It's still getting very mixed reviews on Steam, but the really hard ones to decipher, where some people seem to absolutely love it and think everything is fine, making me wonder if some of the bad reviews are from people who don't get the type of game it is (somewhat hands off, very long term).

Civ V had a shitton of mods, just not any real total conversion stuff. Presumably it was more difficult or the upgraded graphics made it less easy to do a total conversion that looked any good

From what I remember, Civ 4 lets you mod pretty much everything with enough python script knowledge, Civ 5 really only lets you do number or graphics modding.

Idk how Vox Populi isn’t considered a total overhaul? Everything about the game is different (I guess other than that it’s still Civ and not FFH or something). Even the AI and UI are redone. It’s the best Civ game out there!

SlyFrog posted:How is Distant Worlds 2 post patch? I picked it up on chaosapiant's recommendation and I'm happy with it. Seeing the industry involve and watching all of those little freighters do little freighter things makes the game feel so much more alive. Combat is neat, but mostly amounts to get more of the right stuff than the other guy and park next to him. I'm just into frigates-escorts right now so still pretty early in the game. I'm enjoying it more than Stellaris. I just found an abandoned station that is turning into a loot pinata. I've had a few story events that were pretty cool too.

In DW2 I’m next to the Boksaran insect dudes and the game’s not joking when it says they are hyper aggressive: I’ve cleaned their clock two wars in a row and still they keep wardeccing me shortly after we peace out.
