Yeah, the editor tool is quite horrible, but what can we say, it was for free... oh wait... Unfortunately I do not tihnk that a guide will help, I think the tool is just missing out on features and it´s super bugged.. Whatever, I guess I will just wait another 3-6 months for them to fix at least a part of the problems :)
Does the start position set up works also with more than 1 Human? Because I made a map and when i go and create a new game in SP, i get placed where I should. If i load the same map to play with a friend and some AI in MP, we both get placed in weird places and the starting system are wrong (we both chose sol as starting and we get a single size 8 planet) Know anything about this?

I am happy u are taking the time to do a really needed/requested patch. I liked the idea to ask the people on the forum for tipps and requests... But now that u did that... why the hell do you not care what the people wrote? 1) " We have to research Interstellar Governance before we can even see the individual planet wheels." --> no, seriously, who had this crap idea? I cannot even begin to understand why the hell would you do something like this. Is this to give
Some points are taken from the comments before, but the are really important so I will add thm to my list 1. THIS IS VITAL. All lists need to be sortable in multiple ways. In addition to multiple sorting methods (i.e. size, name, class for ships, sort after free/used modules on etc.; I know this function are on the “govern” page but we need them on the list on the right…) we should be able to group up planets, shipyard, SHIPS. For example group up all “science
[quote who="Petri Kokko" reply="23" id="3578891"] Sure, I want the UI improvements, too, and it's an important part as well, but AFAIK it is coming as they are also working on UI stuff that should reduce micro-management. See the last dev stream if you missed it. Though, I do hope they caught all the good technical UI improvement suggestions from this forum. Maybe we ought to have compiled a list?

This is all nice, but mostly unnecessary.. I mean events and printing stuff is nice... but I started playing the day it was released and followed the forum a lot and a LOT of people, among other things, are asking for one thing: improve the GUI and management. What is it so hard in doing that? for example make the lists on the right (planet, ships, starbases etc) better? like, I dont, know, be able to unite ships in fleet so you dont have a list 300 ships long, or maybe have basic SORTING pos
I do not have the Map Editor DLS, so I cant tell you for sure. Do you mean set starting position after creating a custom map? If you mean this, then it is probably not possible, considering the release state of the game.
Do Custom Races work in MP now?
I already posted in other posts, but I will try again in this one. Can we PLEASE have a sorting option (at least to sort them by name if anything) for ships and planets on the list on the right??? I mean (and dont take it bad) but how hard can it be to add this?
[quote who="lsc9x" reply="31" id="3568117"] I am no expert on GC3 (yet) but after playing 100+ hours, there's a few things I have figured out for myself. 1) Get that research tree up and going FIRST. Since ALL future research depends on your research capability, I go for that tree first in all 3 ages. 2) Next up (for me) is production. Going for universal translator and starting to work up the government tree will eventually give good production bonuses, t

IMHO, the best early game strategy is as follows: Unload all pop from first colo ship onto earth and take only 0,5. Use this colo ship to colonize a planet FAR away Set earth 100% science, rush buy 2 Labs on earth (on turn 1 and 2), reasearch Int. Travel, Specialization (+1 moves) and ion drives as the first 3 techs. Should be done on turn 12~ Rush buy the cheapest colo ship (should be 690 credits) and colonise Mars (ALL colo ship leaving earth will take ONL
[quote quoting="post"] .. It takes your civ around 5 weeks to create a ship that can take 3+ billion people on an untouched planet, and immediately construct a facility that can feed 8 billion people, has the power of (essentially) top tier factory, research building, and can in the very first week start to produce new ship parts. As an added bonus, it also positively affects growth from week 1. [/quote] Actually around turn 12-14 you can build Colony Sh

Hello, maybe it was just an issue we alone had... but maybe not. Yestarday we tried to create a new MP game (with the lastest opt-in for alle 3 of us). We tried to create the game several times, but never successfull because the loading screen did not progress and stayed by "uplaoding (or something like that) custom races". We waited on this "message" for about 5-10 mins but nothing happened. I was the only one (out of the 3 of us) with 3 custom races made.

[quote who="freakyferret" reply="9" id="3556055"] I can confirm what JorgenCAB said. If you go to the Tech Tree, you can select a technology a few steps ahead. All research that turn will get applied to reach that tech, possibly completing research on multiple techs.

Thank you for working on fixes issues and improving the game. I have already posted this on the forum, but I think these changes are really needed (and I think not really hard to implement) so I will post it here again. when you start having 15-20+ Colonies/ ships it becomes really difficult/boring to manage all ships and planets. I really love to micromanage everything but atm is a burden. A possible solution would be able to sort planets/Ship. It would
Hi, I´d say, just go on youtube and search " Let´s play Galactic Civilizations 3", there r a lot. If I had to suggest one, you can try this guy channel https://www.youtube.com/user/arumba07
One question: we r 3 persons playing MP and I created, let´s say, ten faction. If I give the folders to the other players with whom I play, will they then be able to see/use all faction in MP as well? Or do I have to create a specific Mod?
