Eh, I think with Civ VI they aimed for "cheeky" and missed a decent amount, but at least it was germane. There's a lot of stuff in the mod that cut-n-paste from a paragraph of Wikipedia that doesn't even remotely make sense.

I'm amazed that we're terraforming planets but we still don't have underwater cities

Never mind that someone could hack one of our food assemblers and have it print gold instead.

Jossar posted:

Nope.



We were doing that before, but this tech really does represent terraforming the gas giants to make them earthlike. Or alternatively, encasing them in earthlike shells.

Interesting, so if the Galactic Age is broadly equivalent to Stellaris, then the Cosmic Age seems similar to Stellaris' Fallen Empires' tech at the height of those empires. The above is basically a dimensional fabricator:

B-but the entire reason it's valuable is because there'll never be any more of it! Now we've got a hypothetically limitless supply!

We're basically Q++ right now, and the idea of bothering to even set up an interstellar colony is cute, but ultimately pointless.

I feel like all the real skill has gone out of it now that the players don't need lungs.

This is actually pretty hilarious when you think about it. So basically we just went and told the universal God-AI that it's fired because we've decided to split our multi-galactic empire inhabited by beings of pure light and thought into geographical sub-units for some reason?

we're now Great Old Ones, hyperdimensional beings of whom the humans remaining on earth can only perceive the smallest fragments of, vast and terrible alien intellects to whom mankind is less than bacteria

still on the gold standard

We need hyperspace whale riders.

I wonder what hyperspace whales taste like.

Given all the fantasy stuff that's been created recently, I figure a fair few Mongolians want a properly "rustic" lifestyle...in the middle of hyperspace.

I guess some sort of disclaimer should be added, that things in mod doesn't represent views of devs.

quote:

We have had some 2 or 3 developers independently and without any 'team consensus' go through and design their views of the future portion of the game to give us platforms on which to work with, ideas to crystalize around. TBH, this play through is the first time I've seen a vast amount of this content at all and... it's interesting but incomplete. Every now and then new ideas are injected into the futuristic stuff but the team core has been working on pretty much the game up to the industrial era. Beyond that it's a lot of stuff that's there from other devs, many of whom are not even on the project anymore, known areas with big problems that have to be addressed, and a massive work in progress. The game core cleanup and debugging has taken center stage for most of the time here while other planning is taking place and on occasion one new developer comes in, flash-fleshes out a huge segment of the game before the team really gets the chance to see much of it and leaves before completing it in full. The future works better than I'd have expected and it's a pretty good road map or skeleton of a design but it's nowhere near what the end expectations are and was largely someone playing with ideas for the purposes of testing out some material before we get multimaps in play.

Alpha Male/Female and Omega Crew Children were renamed to something similar - its now Ancestral Male/Female - equally cool names.
Also Omega Children Crew is now simply Children Crew - something inline with other child themed buildings in Prehistoric era.
Clearly too much New Brave World lol.

Socialism/welfare being bad is simply balance issue.
Hitler is here, so we can kill him, and that we aren't hiding dark stuff in history.
Jossar should update to latest version and see some fancy texts on abandoned civilization bonus pedia entry and simulation analysis tech.

Why would trash even be a concept at this point of existence? Like, at all?

What the gently caress? Couldn't you have just had Skynet as a world wonder much, much earlier and get the same effect? I mean, why is this such a late-game tech? Haven't we passed the point where this would even theoretically be possible... I unno, several tech eras prior?

I might be missing the point of Omleas because I'd take that deal in a heartbeat. Every major society ever has had castoffs who've suffered at least close to as badly as the 1 abused child from Omleas whether by abuse or neglect, so on a purely utilitarian level you're minimalizing suffering even ignoring the fact that in all other facets Omleas is supposed to be the ideal utopia.

It feels like the last dozen techs would be tech victories in other games but somehow it keeps going. Like if you're already retroactively creating the universe and have a bootstrap paradox, then perhaps everything after that is superfluous?

You create a nice universe that serves a full breakfast all eternity. The everlasting Denny's except clean and well- staffed and serving excellent food. I know this is inconceivable but as the gods we are it is our sacred duty to dream the impossible.
