+Negark Good Luck! Give a Like for support, not the start of base. You can place some structures in an other way to reduce walking distances and avoid rearranging (for a while). Like O2 - Processing - Airlock. Mine instead of Storage. Place external structures away from base so not block expansion of internal structures. Build largest Wind, Battery, Water, but medium solar (4 metal). When base getting bigger, try have enough solar to charge enough, wind is unpredictable.
The ice planet looks gorgeous, I love the visuals in this game. That was a nice challenge you attempted, but it was probably too slow. Also, IIRC, the planet does have solar flares, what it doesn't have is sandstorms (because those are actually blessings in disguise, as they don't really do that much damage to your people/structures, and give you max wind power).
+Shadowknight1224 My favorite color is blue, so I really enjoy the opening screen being the ice planet now. You're right, there's solar flares but not sandstorms. I wish there were sandstorms. D=
you should use solar on the Ice planet it is far more consistent then wind look at how much more power you get from your solar (20) and see how much you generate in wind about (7 to 11) it comes out to about the same over time. Also wind uses a lot more spares then solar because solar only degrades during day, wind degrades when ever there is any wind no matter how little
+Negark c'mon budy. You should have realized that already. NO WIND ! ! ! The developers need to balance it better. Wherever the planet, ALWAYS go with SUN !! :) I'm playing he ice and have 1200 w produced by solar. you got to get your hands on the colossal panel. ps: don't rely on trading right now. do it yourself then change it. CYA.

+Styx Annihilator Agreed. I"ll be taking the same ideas from the Class M planet into this series. =)

It would be cool if there was a blizzard instead of a sandstorm on the ice planet
Totally agreed!
+Awesomecrunch There are no sandstorms on the frozen planet, but it would be cool to have a blizzard.
John Turner Thats what i thought :D

the no mine strategy really only makes sense for the class M moon as you dont have a medic to start.
+Alan Marcum Yeah I think the no mine strategy was interesting, but definitely not for me. =)
1:50 reminds me of the x8 speed on GBA emulator

+JCinLapel I'm considering doing the switch to solar, yeah. It's just really gross that it only produces at half efficiency. =(
+Rodrigo H N Magalhaes I think I'll probably get a bit more wind and then try to switch over to solar power.
NOoOOoOOO
Lol
LOL
why do you make airlock on the other side of the ship
The TV is far more important to them than food and water apparently lol
+SgtKeeneye I'm not sure whether my colonists are idiots or suicidal. I'm thinking a little bit of both.
wihi finnaly ive bin waiting for like a day (lol)
+samonie Nice! Well things are coming along interestingly on the ice planet. =)
It says it
like how you spead it up
+William Smith Yeah I didn't feel like showing 6 minutes of me working on a colony just to have it killed.
@Negark Come back!
if you put in a meat maker it will help your in-balance and diversify your meals
+JCinLapel I may do that later, but I don't think it's essential to the base.
THE GREAT DEPRESSION
?
Oh 😂 I killed 3 colonies on this planet and finally, when I didn't killed them I found out that the map is so small 😂
hell, that meteor was nasty :/
+Petr Stuchlý Ah yeah. That's just something we've gotta get used to.
Rip Negark
all the planets look really similar except colour
Hardly. They all look great visually
+Awesomecrunch I meant land scape
William Smith well i guess but only the 1st and second planet. the gas giant one looks amazing
+Awesomecrunch how do you walk on a gas giant?
gregistopal You don't, it's in the background
starting w/o a mine is stupid.. because you don't get traders offering ore/metal... better off just saying fuggit and doing the mine
+drk dragn I mean, it's a cool theory. I just wanted to try it out. =)
oh i fully understand... but seeing it in action from you and a few others... i'd rate it a 2.4 outta 10 for a start
drk dragn Yeah the theory was cool, but it still kinda sucks. =D
Ít funny
lol
