I think I've come up with a method for figuring out optimal station layouts - find how many modules and how far should they be from lab to give exactly 100% based on ratios from here at certain distance they all either add 1/3rd, 1/2 or 1 full bar, that's the intended place and number of these modules find how many radiators are needed based on the attached modules, make a structure for a single lab with all that, then figure out a way to stick the structure for labs together to overlap as much as possible, so I got this for biolabs(1 less module but 1 more link than that layout from reddit)  ^turns out labs heat one another too, otherwise no radiators would be needed and this for energy labs

You've got a logical method there, but I came up with a slightly more compact layout for Agriculture  Same approach with Biotech:  Trying the same with Energy.. uh, doesn't work. Unless the astronauts like working at 100+C?

That's good news, a lot of people were speculating that 2205 was done for and the game was so bad it was probably the developer's swan song. Most of those people were also the same ones pissing and moaning that this game was too easy because it didn't require you to use Excel and a calculator to play any more. I've not been able to find any of the stuff from Gamescom but I will remain cautiously optimistic.

I just wanna build actual citizens on the moon. Like build up cities with moon-parks and poo poo. I can understand not settling the arctic, but there really should be a tier 3 lunar citizen where you start building actual settlements, not mining outposts.

Yeah, I was quite disappointed with how low-tier and how few decorative items you get every non-temperate region is. If it weren't for quests demanding their presence I wouldn't even go to the second tier once I've unlocked the blueprints.

I literally only build research labs and health centers when they're required by quests in arctic and lunar zones. Tundra though gives enough money, and valuable biocatalysts/aerogels, that I'll spend the money for that tiny boost in manpower.

Alkydere posted:I literally only build research labs and health centers when they're required by quests in arctic and lunar zones. I found trying to cram as many people as possible into the arctic zone houses was preferable ,even with the added expense, because building a ton of them is a pain in the rear end given the constant need for heat. Some of the Arctic zones are also really tight on open space to build things in. That's less of a problem in lunar zones and also one of the reasons people get the impression that Tier 3 housing was cut at the last minute since most lunar zones are larger than you would ever really need to fill. To justify this internet necromancy I'm also going to mention that it looks like another expansion of some sort is on the horizon, either DLC or something else to add to the game (DLC in all likelihood). They've been teasing a few things lately that look like they're more space related but it's hard to tell if they're about the moon, some other planet or just something else to add to your existing cities to enhance them somehow. They plan to make an announcement on Monday and left a blurry teaser image for us to make guesses about.

Well it looks like some internet detectives managed to figure out what the unblurred image is. Hot linked in case anyone really wants to wait until tomorrow to see it. Even with the image it's kinda hard to tell what the additional content will be - doesn't look like it will involve underwater or new lunar sectors though... Guess we'll find out soon enough.

I think combat in 2205 is a genuinely fun side game and a great way to pass time while you're waiting to build up a cash reserve or some such. It's one of the few games I can think of that does interesting and entertaining naval combat.

I can just use it to do something while cash builds up, or farm for the resources I need for expansions. And it's good because it's not really connected. It's bad because sometimes I have to jump out mission to solve the fact that some fuckwit is siphoning money from me (haaaate that visual effect btw).

Still no announcement but it looks like someone at Ubisoft dropped the ball last week and accidentally put the new DLC up on the Ubisoft store for a while before it was pulled down. I didn't see what was there but some fansite managed to grab a bunch of details before it was removed from the store. Fansite is in German though so have Chrome translate the page or something. There's some pretty screenshots there, too. Among the main points it looks like this is to be the last DLC for ANNO 2205, I assume they'll be moving on to something else. There are 3 new maps, which appear to be 2 Temperate maps and 1 Arctic. Each seems to introduce some new gimmick of some sort. There is a new tier of citizens now for the Temperate regions, Synthetics. Apart from being even more demanding it doesn't look like there are any new industries needed to support them. (Kinda disappointing if true) Combat can now take place in your home sectors now, not clear if that's just for the new sectors or if all of them can be invaded. No details on how the rest of the military stuff has been revamped. And some new ornamental buildings. It also looks like this is going to go on sale tomorrow for ~$10-$15. I guess I'll grab it just to try it out? Wonder how long we'll need to wait for the next Anno game and if it'll return to the more traditional age of sail setting or keep pushing things to the future. They're going to run out of years that have a sum of 9 eventually.

There doesn't seem to be any clarification around it being part of the Seasons Pass or not but from the descrpition (of the Seasons Pass) in Steam it looks like it only includes the first two expansions. Oh well. Steam also just dropped a 2.3GB patch on everyone that is related to the new DLC, including a bunch of changes to the base game for everyone. It's not in the 'News' section yet but there are patch notes. I'm guessing the actual DLC itself will become available later in the day once someone at Steam is around to push it out.

Here's the text:quote:New Free Features (for everyone) Also the Frontier DLC is not part of the Season Pass you have to buy it. Although when I clicked on the Purchase Now button, nothing happened. So regret not buying this on Steam. Hopefully one day the whole package will be like $10 on Steam and I'll get it there then.

Bugfixes, corporations go up to level 300, the orbital watch can now invade your temperate and arctic sectors (I doubt they do too much, I suspect it's more gonna be like an event that shuts down the sector until you come in and drop the hammer). 2 new temperate sectors (and you can now start in ANY temperate sector if you want, even wildwater bay) and an arctic sector. No clue how those Synths work. EDIT: Bought the new DLC. So far I'm already noticing new sector traits which is nice. There's Recreational Areas (-50% credit maintenance on public buildings, -10% production sector wide) and Late Terroir (+30% wine production, +50% mine power maintenance). The synths seem to be hidden behind one of the new sector projects. Looking at difficulty settings: -Sector invasions confirmed to shut down a sector until you clear out the squatters, can set rate. -You can also select how difficult the invasions are (easy/medium/hard basically) -You can set satisfaction to have a linear impact on income, or have a non-linear impact (with two settings for how severe you want it). -you can now determine how much of a boost competitor shares give your industry. -There's also settings for how much workforce houses gives, and how hungry they are for resources.

If you want it from Steam you'll probably need to wait until after 10am PST when they update everything. That's usually when new stuff goes up unless the publisher paid extra for a specific launch window. I'll have to check it out when I get homw from work to see if its worth whatever they're charging.

Already got it from steam myself.  Have you tried restarting the Steam client to force an update?Also, good lord the additional resource consumption is a real dick-punch early on. I just set it to medium instead of "black hole" and the initial hump is pretty darned punishing. Oh and factory modules now take normal building resources which is both nifty and makes me wonder what I'm gonna be using these rare resources for now...

JFC, with the rebalance so that modules cost $$$ and construction resources, the expansion for neuro implant factories cost $30K. For reference, an entirely new factory costs $20K and no other expansion I've seen costs more than about $6K so far. Need to start upgrading to Executives for $$$, need $$$ for upgrades. Also, really annoying that when you have your fleet in a location it overrides the tab shortcut to grab your yacht.

Talked with Ubi support and they are like "oh yeah we can't buy it from the client or the website either! Maybe it's because everyone is trying to buy it all at once". Yes, Ubi, all 20 people.
