I am also in if there's more room (is there even an upper limit?)

question: Can I run it on A Mac or is this windows land only?

the version on gog purportedly supports macos: https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri

the real question is: "is this savegame compatible?"

check out the Planetfall mod, it's a pretty decent attempt at doing smac civ4-style.

does it have the charm of smac or is it like playing cities skylines (that is with cold indifference while looking at the not so great but very charming sim city 2015)

beyond earth was ok i guess, felt really sterile compared to smac

it didn't have the character of SMAC. It looks beyond compare but the feel of the world you land on feels like a game world more than an actual planet.

ok done my turn and sent on to improbable lobster. also lmao at the file name: "FARRRRT Farrt farrt farrrrt farrrrrt frt frt.SAV" luigi30 insists they didn't name it that so kudos to whoever did

edit: oh if anyone cares i found a unity hydrology pod that uncovered a river (snore) and im in position to build a base right in the middle of sunny mesa aww yeah.

does SMAC accept loading filenames with spaces? If so kudos to whomever who made that happen at the inception of the game.

also who's got the save? freaking 4 day weekend for most how dare you spend it with friends/family/loved ones instead of playing SMAC?
