I built a road around AN ENTIRE PLANET! Plan B Terraform!

[@michaels.3709]

I really hope you continue this series! A tip for making larger factories: when you put level-1 depots next to each other, they'll balance resources between them. So you can chain them together and surround them with extractors to utilize the ore spaces in the middle of the veins. This also helps when you want to make a bunch of one item. You can create a line of "input" resource depots, then next to them a line of factories, then another line of "output" depots. Level-2 depots have a range of 2, so they can be 1 space away from other depots and factories, which makes these sort of "mass factory blocks" much easier to build.

Couple tips it is better to fill a resource area with extractors fill in depots where you need them and then export. Depots will auto balance so use them as a way to move resources over very short distances. Straight lines are your friend in this game. Don't overproduce what you don't need as it hurts you later on. When producing something I have been doing one line of depot one line of factory and one line of depot then export from a few points on the line of depots. This stays pretty balanced and produces a lot more then your method. You can expand on this once you get the better depots and trains. GL my fellow engineer and terraform that planet!

hexagons are bestagons! Oddly enough the first question that comes to my mind: How did they split up a sphere into bestagons? (because you can't with a sphere, they must use a trick) Very interesting game, already put it on my wishlist. Exactly my kinda stuff :D

[@DanielMether]

I'm guessing the pentagon tiles are hidden in the non buildable regions, and if they procedural generation, they have a rule that all pentagonal tiles must have a obstructing land feature.

I bought this game shortly after it came out. you always start with 3 "cities", not just one. they are more like landing capsules in the beginning. the mechanics are quite unique. you never loose a building. if you "erase" it, it gets put back on the buildable stack. you can loose resources though, if you remove depots or stations, that still have some on them. not sure, if you can reach the 1 million population yet. last save I played, I got stuck on 1k pop in all 3 cities and was almost out of resources on half the planet and the other half had less to begin with.

[@firerobe51]

You can go past 1 mil it just doesn't level you up.

[@futurefox635]

Theres enough resources to get all threee planets to 1 mil pop

[@m.h.6470]

@@futurefox635 I guess you mean cities, not plantes. I probably drew the short stick on resource RNG then...

You can branch out into a few road stops at either end with more depots and supply centers attached to them, and that way your trucks won't be stuck waiting.

Fun fact: the reason why people from the usa spell things differently is because noah webster, who made the merriam-webster dictionary had the words spelled how he wanted them to be spelled. They mostly agreed with him, but some spellings didn't catch on, like 'wimmen' for 'women'. The reason why they call trapeziums trapezoids and trapezoids trapeziums is because someone accidentally switched the definitions in a dictionary

[@OriginalPiMan]

Webster is part of it. There have also been occasions where the change was by the British. Aubergine and courgette because French words were in vogue in the 19th century. Aluminium because it better matched the "ium" used in many other elements. And so on.

[@worldsenddesign5374]

@@OriginalPiMan Hans Christian Ørsted, the discoverer of Aluminum, had to write 2 papers on it to get people to stop calling it Aluminia and call it Aluminum properly. I don't know if it was the Victorians that reverted back to using a "fancy" sounding name, but either way. The Brits keep saying it wrong and everyone else says it correctly. :)

[@darkkenia]

Fun fact: aluminum was originally named alumium by English chemist sir Humphry Davy who later changed the name to aluminum. British editors then decided they disagreed with his naming scheme and changed the word in Britain to aluminium to fit with the other metallic element names (sodium, potassium etc.) while the Americans kept the official name.

[@George-pl7eu]

[@hansallen2708]

"The Oxford English Dictionary reports that in a lecture Sir Humphry Davy (A British chemist) delivered in 1809 and published in 1810, Davy does not use the term alumium, but refers only to good old alumina as alumine. By 1812, Davy had revised his coinage, opting instead for aluminum." As we can see the Brit who discovered it settled on the term aluminum not aluminium. So it's not Americans who are saying it wrong, it's y'all.

[@justj7687]

Was it not first discovered by a Dane who first named it 'Alumium' from 'alumina'. however, he himself later called it 'aluminium' and so it was felt to be the right way to go. Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰 :)

[@hansallen2708]

@@justj7687 I believe it was Davy and he went through a few variations of the name before settling on aluminum. Someone else shortly after called it aluminium.

[@lonergothonline]

the best thing about that supply center thing, is that when the city grows to a massive size, you can place them outside the city limits, and the city will expand around them and keep expanding, so there isn't really a concept of 'outside of city-limits', the game will just keep spawning new buildings further and further away. so you don't really need to seperate the atmosphere extractors from the city with a small road, just build within the city itself, because any small length of road would just get engulfed anyway, and at that point you don't need the road, just the supply center next to the outputs. later on you also have to deal with city waste in order to help the city grow, which can be processed into other materials, but same thing. if the city continues to grow it'll engulf the waste processing facilities, so you don't need to transport the waste outside the city-limits, since there is no concept of an 'outside of city limits', so all you do by moving the waste is cause slows downs in processing.... of course there is a limit to this, every supply/waste station has to be adjacent to a city tile. I'm just informing you that moving stuff into the city or moving it out of the city gets silly as there is only city beyond a certain point. instead of the factory must grow, this game is 'the city must grow'. if you don't believe me go watch nilaus play this game, he just ended his 5 episode series on it.

Fun fact, the aluminium/aluminum thing isn't an 'Americans spell things weird' issue, It's because there was extended debate over what it should be named. Alum was the base mineral, Alumina [now called aluminium oxide] was the actual compound containing it. Alumum [alum + -um] was the initial proposition; then aluminum [alumina + -um]; then aluminium [alumina + -ium]. -um is from classical Latin, where as -ium is from Neo-Latin [15th century reconstruction used in science]. We can still see the old -um in use with Platinum and Molybdenum.

Game is good in concept but need to be aware its still in early access and there is maybe only 2-3 hours of actual gameplay before you hit the content wall.
