Based on my experience, it's very likely that the additional noise is from the GPU fan or the CPU fan working harder due to the game. I have had a couple of laptops over the years that have had an unbalanced or inadequately balanced fan, though, that required servicing.
I have an ancient desktop and an old laptop, both of which are gathering dust in my home office. The one I use is a one year old laptop that I purchased with the intent of taking with me in my post-retirement traveling. Said traveling has been curtailed by 2020, so it's sitting immobile on my table in the family room, where I use it with an external monitor and keyboard.
No, food doesn't stockpile like a resource such as durantium does. To found another city you need to find more food or get the techs that allow you to upgrade your farms further.
My first GC was GalCiv for OS/2. And while I have played as (and enjoyed) the Drengin in all variants of the game, in GC3 I mostly play custom races.
[quote who="kapeman" reply="2" id="3791932"] Should I increase or decrease that value? [/quote] Unfortunately I have no idea. Unless someone else chimes in you'll have to experiment.
I have the Retribution expansion, so I find MasterTechDefs.xml in steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\DLC\EXP4_Retribution\Game. If I search on MoveCost I find two techs that alter that.
There's a writeup on using mods in the wiki here that might help. The first paragraph explains where to put the mod files, depending on which version of the game you have.
I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.
The aquatic line of morale improvements is not as straightforward as non-aquatics. The Healing Waters improvement is actually an upgrade from the Hot Springs improvement, which you can unlock by researching the Planetology tech in the Colonization branch of the tech tree.
[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="24" id="3789883"] There needs to be some way to stop spending Durantium (and other resources) on planet improvements. There are times where I don't have the resources needed to build better mining modules (to get resources faster) because the darn planet improvements keep taking it all. [/quote] Just turn off auto-upgrade.
This portion of the wiki might answer your questions. There's a table there that explains the effects of the different invasion tactics.
Have you tried looking at the discussion here?
[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="13" id="3789250"] Whats the deal with carriers? At first glance, the 'normal' carrier module carries assault fighters and seem OK (at first). [/quote] Yeah, the assault fighter is the only one I use. I just research the heck out of the missile tech line.
Have you checked out this support post ?
Seriously though, after having seen so many companies run into the ground after acquisition by huge corporations, I'm bummed about possibly never seeing another Elder Scrolls game.
[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="12" id="3788480"] I think they should give those to silicon. [/quote] Agreed. My Administrator Training Institute mod works for silicon as well as carbon, if you're willing to use mods.
1 population = 1 Raw Production. 1 Raw production = 1 Research + 1 Income + 1 ship production +1 planetary production. If you mouse over the raw production number on the planet window you can see the population contribution.
You can trade achievements? (Not that I'm volunteering, I don't have those either).
I'm no expert since I haven't played Sins in many years. But I've seen other people having crash problems helped with the suggestion that they try turning OFF Windows 10 Full Screen Optimization.

I've been trying to get a roof repaired, too. Roofers are supposed to be here in about 15 minutes. Last week they said they'd be here and they never showed up.
We've had to cancel a cruise from Los Angeles down the coast to Central America, another starting in Rome going around the western Med, and another from Los Angeles across the Pacific to Australia then north to Southeast Asia and then to Japan. We've also had to cancel a trip to Hawaii. We have a cruise still scheduled for next spring from Miami through the Caribean then up to Bermuda and finally to New York, but I'm not optimistic we'll be able to go on that one.
[quote who="Lone_Wolf1" reply="4" id="3786273"] ???? [/quote] On the game's main menu, where you can choose "New Game", "Quick Start", etc, down in the lower right corner it gives you the version number. Mine says Ver 4.01.
What version (i.e. do you have Crusade and/or Retribution) and version are you on? Some of the more recent updates have had performance improvements in them.
Normally the ships are ejected into a tile right next to the shipyard when they are completed. If you have a rally point set for the shipyard then they immediately move towards the rally point.
