I know the Gains have Weather Paradigm, Planetary Transit System is one the Spartans visibly have the tech for; it's more expensive but far better. Virtual World is the same. Even Command Nexus would be better, especially for Sparta. E: I should learn to read, Glorgnole said right there only two have been built, so WP for the Gaians, HGP for the University. Virtual World, Command Nexus and PTS are still in play then; Empath Guild too, though it seems less likely Sparta would have the tech for that. E2: oh poo poo they're playing SMAX, so Planetary Energy Grid. Easily in the top 5 of projects. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Jul 16, 2019 |

Yeah, the cuckoo bananas tier projects, in approximate tech order, are:
Then the two morale projects, Command Nexus and Cyborg Factory, which are both great, but not as good as the above I feel. Cloning Vats is also pretty nuts, but comes quite late.

There's +2 Growth from Eudaimonic too, but the Future Society social choices come so late it almost doesn't matter. Democratic+Planned+Creche is definitely the normal way of doing it. Golden Ages for Morgan, who can't use Planned.

Beyond the diplomatic penalties I think the environmental penalties still apply. Nerve gas pisses of Planet something fierce, and it counts against your clean mineral limit.

Can you use the bombard action to attack IoDs? If memory serves you can; they can attack you next turn so it means ceding the 3-2 advantage, but psi units generally fare very poorly against weapon attacks. Good if you're going in with a morale deficit.

Oh poo poo yeah you're right. Regular ships are for sure that way (though it's not a direct attack, it plays by the artillery rules, so weapon vs. weapon rather than weapon vs. armor), but I think for Psi it does initiate a normal psi battles. I'm thinking of land battles, where nearly any artillery just eviscerates mind worms.

raminasi posted:it’s like normal artillery combat (gun v gun) but for only one round. so it’s like a hybrid of bombardment and combat. It doesn't kill your ship, it initiates one of those one round gun duels (though the land based Arty gets +25%).

Condensers do not count as farms, but they do provide +1 nutrients to the square they are in, on top of the rainfall changes. Farms, and later soil enrichers can also be built on the square, for a total of +3 nutrients. Building a farm under a condenser will stop the forest from growing under it. e: Another fun terraforming tip: constructing a base on top of a sensor array leaves the sensor array in place. This array cannot be destroyed without destroying the base, leaving a permanent +25% defense bonus in the area. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 21:42 on May 25, 2020 |

Yeah, eco-damage in particular is the frustrating one; it's a major game mechanic, but the datalinks entry only describes about half the mechanic, and the rest of it is described nowhere. Vel's SMAX Guide is really one hell of an accomplishment.

Is self-destructing units actually powerful somehow? I knew the option was there but it never seemed useful. Though I guess it would stand to reason that choppering in a fusion reactor and letting it cook off might do some damage. Let me guess, the damage applies to all adjacent units?  Glorgnole posted:i hadn't seen that particular guide before, thank you for sharing! lots of weird stuff i didn't know about on my initial glance through, like how causing fungal blooms through excess mineral production actually increases the limit of "clean" minerals you can produce, meaning that it's actually good to cause a few blooms intentionally. Otherwise you wind up in the late game with quantum converters or whatever they're called, which the datalinks say do not cause eco-damage, but it sure as hell counts against your clean mineral limit!

Pile Of Garbage posted:i feel like i could be doing a bit more to min-max my terraforming instead of just "set former to autoimprove base" Yea the default terraforming AI is not great, it's one of the reasons the AI can't really compete in the late game. There's a couple different way to optimize it (Vel's guide goes over it, with separate sections for the early and middle game), but the short answer is ensure you have enough nutrients for growth, plant forests early and often, and lean into the bonus resources you find. Nutrients are key for obvious reasons, while forests do a reasonable job of producing minerals and energy, particularly before the 2/tile resource caps come off in the mid-game. Tile bonuses are particularly important because they bypass that limit; you can get 7 minerals from a rocky tile with a mine and a road, and 7 (or 8?) nutrients from a rainy tile with a nutrient bonus, farm and condenser (the condenser will make it rainy most times). And because those tiles produce a lot of one resource and few of anything else, they are excellent candidates for collection with Supply Crawlers. Once you get to Tree Farms, every forest square will produce 2 nutrients as a base (3 with Hybrid Forest), which makes forests self sustaining. The AI doesn't know this, and particularly ignores forests. Forests also spread themselves which is a nice bonus.

Yeah honestly I think you'd have to start with a designed map and fixed starts, the map generation in this game is abysmal. I'll volunteer to grind away until I get something balanced-ish if there's enough interest for a second game.

Depending on how much terraformer effort you want to sink into it, the pro move is to raise a square and then drop it again.

Pile Of Garbage posted:re formers what's your view on automating them? tbh that's what I usually do with them but is it worth manually tasking them and doing analysis on the terrain around a base? i've been aiming for 1-2 land and 0-1 sea formers per-base while putting them all on auto home base, then later setting some on full-auto after they'd maxed the home base. seems to have worked well but i may be slightly mineral shy now i think on it. Don't do it, the AI is real bad at Terraforming. Glorg's advice is on the money. Also if anyone wants to read way way way too much about playing optimally (including Terraforming strategies), go track down Vel's SMACX guide. Pile Of Garbage posted:i hate it when i misclick a unit and cancel what it's doing, thus wasting its progress towards whatever it was doing (augh) I'm reasonably confident that if you re-assign them without missing a turn it will preserve the progress. But I could be wrong.

If memory serves Glorgnole (on top of a very comfy start position) has been doing a bit of pop booming here and there. Not a ton of it, but if anybody wants to catch up, that's the move!
