gypsy2299 - Yeah, looks like a WAD because the name seems to be linked to the Planet type, but then you shouldn't be able to erase the name. Now I've got a mess that can't be fixed, just not a good look.

1) Main text should have Hyper link to planet so that it's stats can be viewed 2) 2nd choice "Leave the creatures undisturbed" has no outcome. While one can assume this means that there is no positive or negative outcome for picking this option, it would be nice for that to be made clear with a dialogue box saying so (maybe "The world remains the same - for now"). <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/18/60/1860429/11354523-5269-4b63-9f9a-1d0141615483.png" alt="

[quote who="Zabik_2" reply="9" id="3958022"] Hey, thanks for your feedback on crime. Afaik, crime was previously reported to barely exist, due to some policies and techs countering it. So this is a balance change based on that feedback. I see how this may be a not welcomed surprise for such a veteran player like you. If you do not want to search for new strategies to combat crime, I think it should be possible to mod in crime reduction pretty easily. [/quote] Mostly it's bec

Only 48 turns into game and look at the mess crime is making. I don't mind different mechanics to make the game interesting, but this is not my idea of fun guys. I shouldn't have to worry about crime more than the real focus of the game - 4X!!! <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/18/60/1860429/5e4c2f12-a561-4fba-9370-e95350d106d

[quote who="gypsy2299" reply="4" id="3957834"] We are in complete agreement here. Why I turn off the hostiles. Monsters ect [/quote] I do the same. Maybe Draver can come up with a Mod to turn off the Criminal Trait. And every citizen shouldn't be boosting crime by 1.5%! I run my home planet & Ringworlds with 20 Pop. What's the poi

gypsy2299 - I figured as much. I've voiced my opinion about the crime mechanic in this game several times before. I don't buy Space 4X games to play whack-a-mole with criminals. The Gigamass DLC was a big win for me, but they need to take this down a couple of notches because IMHO it takes the FUN out of the game.

I started several new games with my custom Civ and 1 with the Terrans just as a double check. Each game has every citizen (not just criminals) contributing 1.5% to crime, 3% for my Civ, plus an additional 3% for Criminal trait. Not sure where that Criminal trait is coming from - nothing I picked it setting up my custom Civ says anything about crime and it's linked to the Terrans also. That's a starting point of 11-14% crime. I hate having to give up one or more o

That would be annoying. The new Gigamass resource added for Megastructures has added quite a few unforeseen consequences - see lengthy ship building discussion on Discord. I'm sure they'll add this to the list of fixes needed. Maybe Draver will make a mod to help out on this one while we wait [e digicons]O:)[/e]

I'll second this. There is currently a way to save images, but it's a little complicated and you have to manipulate files. Not exactly user friendly for everyday players. I went thru about 20 iterations and saved leader images to use as images for my citizens in a custom civ. I would be happy to DM you some info if you're interested.

[quote who="BohandiAnsoid" reply="1" id="3954389"] Can something be done about the fact that standard combat ship designs of cruisers and above (except for Carriers) require gigamass? It's so annying that, iwth gigamass being so precious, your standard ship designs require it. So, I have to either design my own ships or lkimit myself to fighters, bombers, frigates and corvettes (and later Carriers), or design by own ships or quickly run out of gigamass that would be really useful or

DraconicDesign - Very nice outline of what we can do with a Stellar Nexus. Just one thing I don't see here and can't find in the game. Where to you go to get a list of your Stellar Nexus with their status? They're not listed in with Planets like Ringworlds, which makes sense because they don't have population. However, it seems to me that if you have more than a couple of them, remembering where you put them so that you can manage them calls for a list. Nevermi

I would vote for they upgraded the AI to use the teleportation artifact when it finds one. You didn't say if you were at war with any AI Civs, but even so the AI might just be using all it's resources to disrupt other Civs.

Just scrolled down on the Orbital Improvements tab and noticed a bunch of new additions for 2.92 I hadn't noticed before (they weren't included in the 2.92 Changelog). However on the Orbital Museum it says it's an Approval Improvement, but there is no Base Effect section at the bottom telling you what the improvement is.

Did something get broken with the new update or is this just a normal bad luck starting sector draw - 5 Yellow stars right next to my home system and only one has any habitable planets.

The future Governor cannot decide the fate of these plants because they truly are indestructible. If you pick this option and install a Governor on the planet any hexes with the "Sticky Glowy Plants" cannot be cleared. Fix wording or fix ability to delete plants from hexes.
