I want a list rather than a grid of icons for several reasons, the main one being "I want to know what Uniques I have on the planet". Having a count of other things may or may not be useful but regardless I think an icon with a number of how many is way more informative than a randomly arranged grid.

Just sorting - particularly if all uniques went to the front - would also solve this problem.

I'm also having trouble with the Reinforce Fleet button sometimes not doing what it's supposed to, it queues up the right number of ships but later I'll sometimes wind up with 2-3 random small fleets with no orders just hanging around in my empire. Does anyone else experienced this? Do I need to stop moving the fleet around while it's being reinforced?

The way I deal with this is by turning on the "unemployed pops generate unity" living standards, minimizing the sector/planet outliner, and only checking on my planets at the beginning of each new year.

I find this happens only when hostiles are involved - emergency FTL in particular tends to break the reinforcement setup. Depending on my level of annoyance and alloy abundance I'll either manually merge the extras or just disband and rebuild again with the reinforce fleet button.

First time I experienced the War in Heaven. I'm leading the non-aligned powers. I beat the Materialist/Technologist dudes and conquered their planets, forcing their allies into peace. I got the Spiritualists contained to their home world and its moon but now both have 10k ground troop strength, way more than the other guy had, and their war exhaustion has barely gone up while I crushed their empire, because they're fanatics I guess?? Now I'm just sitting there, sometimes shooting down a spontaneously spawned fleet and cranking out armies all over my empire. I really regret not taking Colossus project in this game  Even my Titanic Beasts are a drop in the buckets against those defense armies.

QuarkJets posted:The upper-right corner of each building is showing what it produces; that's all that really matters to me. So fleet bugs tend to stem from a couple sources. The main one is if you're using the "automatically generate designs" in the lower left. Sometimes this'll just poo poo itself and you get a bunch of weird problems. Turning this off is my first step in a game, followed by making a new picket design ship and updating the starting 3 corvettes to the new design for 3 alloys. Solves all sorts of crazy fleet bugs. The other source is if you grab fleets on-route to reinforce and give them new orders. Emergency FTL shouldn't break the reinforce, but all ships will just chill where they are until your fleet shows back up (hey dark, could you ask the guys to make reinforcing ships instead head to where the fleet is going to come back to?). If you have your fleet in a system, a reinforcing fleet in the system but not combined yet, and you click the ship icon on the galaxy map and give orders, you'll have given orders to all fleet in the system. This includes the reinforcing fleet, which shunts it off into it's own fleet and is my main source of extra ships.

Park a fleet in orbit of that planet, enable indiscriminate bombardment, then go do something else for a year or two and come back to a bombed out husk of a planet. Send one guy down with a flag.

The alloy cost is hefty, they’re the most valuable resource. Either make the civic also provide 1 unity per soldier job or make duellists also provide a defensive army.

But you'll be producing more alloys as you'll no longer have to produce consumer goods to produce amenities, so it balances out.

If they only take 0.5 alloys then it's a wash and the bonuses are basically free. e: the bonus is the naval cap and a decent naval cap boost is totally worth it on its own. A defence army as well would be cool flavour though. Demiurge4 posted:The alloy cost is hefty, they’re the most valuable resource.

Duellists drastically simplify your production chain. Your culture is all about weapons, you only need to build alloy production. Your guns are your consumer goods. This is exactly the sort of thing that should be a Civic.

You'd still need consumer goods for research, so you can't completely abandon them.

Splicer posted:1 alloy costs the same amount of production as 2 consumer goods, or 0.667 vs 0.333 total pops of production and 0.167 vs 0.0833 building slots (all ignoring upgrades and modifiers). So an entertainer's production costs a total of 1.333 pops and 0.5833 building slots. If a duellist consumes a whole alloy, and we ignore modifiers and that there's a non pop based source of consumer goods, they only need to produce 20% more than an entertainer, or a bonus equivalent to 33% of a regular pop, to be an equivalent return. Since you need a civic for this obviously you'd want more like 50% of a normal pop. There is also some value to naval capacity bonus. Less need for anchorages making getting consumer goods through trade easier, for example.
