You can change the items that appear in shops at various city levels in the K_CityHubs & F_CityHubs files in the Core Improvements folder. If you don't want the boots to show up, you can delete them from the items list.
House Ordos only actually appeared in 3 video games. Dune II, Dune 2000, and Emperor: Battle for Dune, but they are mentioned in the Dune Encyclopedia.
I play at 1920x1200 an it looks fantastic. Thank you Dell for having such great back to school sales.
Okay. So I tried saving and exiting the game. When I reloaded it, the research per colony was calculated correctly. Makes it a little better, but would still be useful to see how I'm doing without that workaround.
I've got the exact same problem. Started earlier building the starter facility. Quickly gained research labs. Noticed that the planets on which I upgraded, the ammount of research was the same. Tried a brand new planet with multiple research bonus tiles. After the labs were built, the research for the colony is still at 1 when it should have gone up at least a point or 2.
