This might be a dumb question, but I've only been playing this about a month now. Can you have robots without being a robo-hive mind? I want a society of individually-minded robots.

Oh, thanks. Hadn't been thinking that way -- I was trying to start with a machine-based species, instead of trying to get there in the game.

Staltran posted:Oh hey, according to the wiki the synths tech has no requirement for AI to be legal. So if you have outlawed AI and have a bunch of droids, and then decide to research synths to get rid of the tech card cluttering your deck... you upgrade every droid to synths, then dismantle them all because they're illegal? And can't build any more droids ever again? It would be nice if there were some sorting abilities for tech cards. Maybe I want them sorted so the cheapest ones are at the top. Or maybe there's a tech I never want to research, and I want it at the bottom, or not showing up at all.

Sloober posted:well it counts as a warship and not like a science or constructor, so it's not set to evasive and will path through it like your regular fleets will Oh, didn't realize that. It follows your science ship around for the first few years, so I had assumed it would follow the same rules. Still, I don't want to feel all agitated that I might get some poor dumb animal killed. What if raiders show up and start shooting? I had a science ship find a raider system once and get killed before I even got a chance to figure out who it was that killed them and what their language was. Instantly, faster than the Fortress kills people.

When you get +33% damage against mining robots or crystal aliens, you'd think that would mean your 1.2k fleet would be able to beat a 1.1k group of crystals. You would be wrong.  Maybe it's because they were all corvettes? I dunno.

Sloober posted:probably, crystals do extra hull damage which is by far the larger number a corvette has, and with 1.2k fleet i assume you're probably only at T2/3 armor/shield which is still a quite small number and their shards also don't do reduced damage to either armor or shields Side question: I still use the "auto-best" thing for my fleets. Is that bad? Please tell me I don't have to do it manually to be successful.

On the plus side, if you're a machine intelligence, you can casually move unemployed robots to new colonies until they're big enough to make a robot-assembly plant.

On a medium-sized map, how many systems/planets would you say you need to win, just in general? I do have a precursor ecumenopolis, but I got boxed in pretty early, and once I terraform all the remaining planets, I'll have about a dozen colonies. Empire size currently a touch above 100.
