DMF

The minor world has to be within sensor range of one of your positions. They're not in the UP so you can't use the Diplomacy screen.

Me neither. But it would make me happy if it did.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="50" id="3690090"] Quoting DMF, reply 49 How is - or is - 'faction' different from race/species? Different terms for the same thing. Faction is a bit more generic. [/quote] I wonder if it's intended to cover "Team"

[quote who="DMF" reply="37" id="3689816"] Quoting tetleytea, reply 30 The durantium is spent the moment you build queue it. If you cancel build, you get it refunded. The enemy can't take away what you already spent. This isn't Civ--built units don't really need supply.

[quote who="00zim00" reply="24" id="3689623"] Does anyone know why coercion was removed in the last patch? Not that I dont agree, it was a good thing. Im just curious on the reason behind it. [/quote] I have no firsthand knowledge, but I think it's safe to assume it was because people hate it. Personally, I'm not opposed to the concept, but I think it comes in too hard and fast. Maybe max level of 10%, with a fair range before it has any effect a

[quote]* If one builds a Shipyard with one of these multi-point Constructors, what happens to the extra points? They just go away? [/quote] Yep.

I'd like to add the two old races - Torians and Arceans - to the game, but not the Mercenaries that come in the DLC. Is it possible? How?

Either there's at least two bugs here or it's 'only' a display bug. With the first ship consuming your entire Thulium supply, you should never have been able to build a second.

Hmm. I try to leave karma and get a 500 error. Anyway, thanks Publius.

What was the command line that isn't working?

I am surprised at how easy it is to conquer a planet in GCIII. If there is workable defense, I'd like to know it.

I my case, the other game can't use it because it wasn't available at its start. Presumably when I start a new game it will be available - locally. The question is, how do I make it available to someone else? The only two Workshop options seem to be as template (no functional items) or an OBJ. If you want to say, "no we don't do that because the functional items are too much of a barrier to compatibility," then that's a fair answer. But given the jungle t

Thanks! Any chance of you (Stardock) putting this in the wiki?

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="62" id="3690202"]Quoting DMF, reply 53 Do world maps wrap from side to side? They should. I agree. [/quote] I occurs to me that they'd have to re-draw them, or at least reset the grid, since the edge splits half the hexes. Certainly not un-doable.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="60" id="3690200"] Quoting DMF, reply 51 I noticed that 'Leftover Robots ' are contributing 20% to the manufacturing research of at least one of my planets. WTF? <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"

[quote who="starkers" reply="52" id="3690169"] you'd think the aim would be to produce some quality television, and most are saying it is far from that [/quote] Consensus is over-rated. In an case, I don't see a consensus. So far here there are a couple that won't watch (you can't count them), a few who say it sucks (how many of those actually watched a whole ep?), and the majority who say it's not bad. Not great but not bad. Anyone remember how lame Star

Better no humor than inappropriate humor. I'm rather encouraged that they prioritize the story over the funnies.

Thanks. That makes sense. But still, is it possible post a fully functional ship design somewhere (e.g. Workshop)?

[quote who="DMF" reply="55" id="3690099"] I will occasionally see what appears to be a hex-shaped tool tip over a hex displaying the distance in hexes and in turns from (presumably) the selected ship. But I have been unable to figure out how to produce this very useful display when I want it. How to? [/quote] Figured it out. Press and mouse over the hex. If you press without moving the mouse it doesn't work. Also help

I want Precursor planets!! Is there any more vid?

Displaying the surface of a globe as a rectangular map is admittedly grossly distorting. IMO something less distorting like Winkel tripel projection is probably not worth it. But most distortion occurs near the poles, making wrapping there impossible. Yet whatever the projection, the side (longitudinal)

BTW, there are warnings on the Notepad++ 64-bit edition , that it isn't ready for prime time. But I've been using it for some time, along with the supposedly unstable Dictionary, and have had zero problems. Other than a few basic ones, very few plug-ins are available for it yet, but if you don't need them, I'd go for it.

The only two options seem to be Upload and Export. Upload strips the design down to its non-functional elements. Export publishes the design in a format for 3D printing. So why isn't a custom design accessible from other games? Here's the immediate situation: I am playing two branches of a game, one where I accept a peace offer and the other where I go for the kill. In one branch I spent a lot of time designing two ships - one a new BB, the oth

What happens to the population when the world has more population than it can feed? Does it decline slowly? Does Morale suffer as billions starve? For that matter, how do I get a world with more population than it can feed? These appear to be captured worlds. Do some races have intrinsic fast food bonuses?
