i'm a fuckin' grognard though, in that i think all the harlock stuff after the original voice actor is mediocre to bad


but i know a bunch of people would bounce off the old material due to clumsy animation and/or bad writing so... :shrug:

the save made its way back around to me. completed and sent! i finally got rid of the fungal tower in the middle of my starting continent but i lost a hardened impact rover doing it (rip).

the game year is now 2256 by the way, so it looks like we made it past the point where we ran into save corruption problems last time around. fingers crossed!

NICE! and yeah woims have been the bane of my existence. pretty sure ive lost uncountable rovers to woims and at least one fully-laden transport foil to an isle of the deep.

that's the best place to have supply crawlers! it's harder for sea bases to get minerals than land bases since the only sea tile improvement for minerals is the mining platform, so i've been re-homing supply crawlers at sea bases and then transporting them back to the mainland to work a mine or forest. it makes it a lot faster to build base facilities, etc.

who has two thumbs and took ages on the turn again? this rear end in a top hat (me the one posting)!

sent it on, sorry anthonypants i blew up your transport!

it's MY 2258, here's the current faction dominance rankings for those who observe (note that i do the ranking by measuring the pixels in the faction dominance bar chart line graph lol):



  1. Gaians (Glorgnole)
  2. Hive (Me)
  3. Drones (Improbable Lobster)
  4. Spartans (anthonypants)
  5. Pirates (SmokaDustbowl)
  6. University (Luigi Thirty)
  7. Believers (champagne posting)

edit: realised can actually rank more accurately with the line graph...
