Unlock the Ultimate Ixion Strategy: Insane 380 Population Growth Hacks - Part 1

[@charlesccj5]

This build order/guide is fantastic. It helped me cruise through the game collecting nearly every achievement in my first run. All resources were pretty much taken care of by the end of CH3, with a crew of 2-3k from all cryopods in previous chapters. Great work @Eshir92. You've earned a new subscriber! : ) *

Thanks that exactly what i was going for just help at the start and set you free to play

[@freedomwriter1995]

Is there a way to get a commentary free version of these videos and just have you type out the steps in the description and comments section?

[@Eshir92]

There should be auto generated subtitles. And a mute button available. But I don't have a written script for this video no. If your looking for more information I recommend the egosoft discord there are alot of smart people willing to help out there

[@freedomwriter1995]

@@Eshir92 I'm just a fan of gaming walkthroughs with no commentary.

Thank You!

Aight, got to the end. Very nicely done mate! It is indeed the best start I've seen so far. You were cutting the jump close to the meal cycle again at the end there :D LOL My two cents is I would have opened it a bit faster and moved over all my industry to sector two, as well as one of the docks, and added EVA in sector 1 for the space spec bonus. Keep the science and mining ships there, with all cargo going to sector 2 - that way you don't need to store the raw mats twice - the people thawery can be there too, there's plenty of space. Other than rhat maybe move the stockpiles the shroom farms need to the other side of the road up there, so food food trash trash, and the mess hall too - might fit sideways below the foods. On the vid part, your mic was a bit low overall, and I definitely couldn't hear you proper over the station announcements :) Just let the "woman" finish talking :)

[@Eshir92]

👍

[@NemesisTsuki]

You have 340 total population with 326 working in Sector 1 while the remaining 14 are working on the ships which is why they are not included...since they are not working in sector 1. So while it isn't a bug they could have added a ship section as well to better keep track when other sectors are opened up.

[@Eshir92]

Good To Know Thanks

[@rauminen4167]

It's not a bug, mate. You moved the station during the meal cycle, losing power to everything.

[@rauminen4167]

You know, the thing is, bus drivers still have a house. I understand that they could sleep in the bus, but wanting to have a place doesn't really sound like a bug to me :D

[@Eshir92]

its not that i don't want the crew of the ships to not show up on the population window is that i do want them to

[@hanyshany4051]

One tip that i found out is kinda exploit, is that iff u dont build eating center u can build everything u want and crew will not be affected by hunger, of course after some while u will have to build it to move forward, but its nice food preservation. U could possibly research everything becouse of passive income in tech lab but that would take weeks 😂

[@Eshir92]

Yep the tutorial section is fairly lenient I've seen people stableize thier tutorial section and leave thier game going overnight for more research points and then just steamroll the game from there

[@karolus0xA]

Also you're getting +10 stability bonus due to "Almighty Dolos buff" (and probably their techie employees having unwavering belief in their Musk/Jobs hybrid CEO) so you can completely get away with not building any housing at all during the Prologue part of the game. Make sure to have paused blueprints of houses prepared before leaving to first chapter as your peeps will not tolerate that for long.

[@Mantorix]

37:00 Why are your people starving? Because you were jumping to the moon while a meal cycle without having any batteries and you missed the food

[@Mantorix]

oh and while we're talking food.. you only need 4 insect farms to feed your 200 people you get in SOL

[@Mantorix]

1:54:45 The game doesn't ignore a few paople, they 'live' in their ships. Crew living in space don't need a house

[@Eshir92]

its a known bug most notable when loading a save or restarting a chapter and i guess when you move to the next sector the devs have already tryied to patch it and had to revert once so i guess we will see if it gets fixed

[@graveslore]

How many runs did it take to discover all this? Im up to my 8th attempt hence why I am here lol

[@Eshir92]

2 i failed my first run at the 3rd sector the first one with a storm in it my second run i made it past and then beat the game i took my time read all the things researched all the things and experimented alot. this is technically my 4th run since i started my 3rd with this goal in mind of having a super good start and i realized half way into it i could get the DLS center pretty early so i started this run

[@LookOutForNumberOne]

2 loading bays was totally unnecessary for just one section. You can do all with just one. 3 drills, 3 cargos, and 2 science ships.
