NOTE: Population mood doesn\'t appear to affect production

I'm in the middle of a TDM game and have just noticed that my population's mood doesn't appear to affect my production rate. This apparently contradicts what's in the FAQ, section 4.4.8.1.

Re: Various questions about the FAQ

Various questions about the FAQ

OK, I've finished reading through the entire FAQ (minus the multiplayer parts) for Version 03069 and have several questions related to areas that are either unclear or seem to be contradictory.

what exactly is this "AI deathmatch"?

I often hear you all talking about it but I don't understand what it is. I started to read one of those super-long threads about it but really couldn't even understand the first post. Was it telling...

Want strategies for seiging a planet

Hi, all. After a long hiatus not playing the game I've just recently started up a TDM against the AI. What are your strategies for laying seige to a planet? I mean in the sense of being able to...

can facility tags be added for moons?

You know how you can set options so that your planets display "S," "Y," etc. for shipyards, spaceports and such? Well, I see that moons on planets don't show this. And I often have moons colonized...

Re: can waypoints from construction sites be automated?

Hmm, I was afraid of that. As for the minefield thing, that's too much trouble, especially since I couldn't be sure the ships would go the right way. And since I play very large galaxies, the...

can waypoints from construction sites be automated?

What I mean is, I've got X planet producing ships. But the planet is way in the interior and I need to get its ships to the front lines. However, the ships don't have quantum reactor tech so they'll...

Re: How can I tell if racial bonuses are really working?

Update: I just looked at the abilities tab for a ship, while NOT in combat, and I see that the racial bonus is indeed listed. I don't know if I simply never looked while outside of combat or what,...

Re: How can I tell if racial bonuses are really working?

Thanks. So I checked the saved empire and sure enough it shows the 25 percent ship defence bonus I chose for characteristics. But that number sure doesn't show up in the abilities tab for a ship when...

Re: How can I tell if racial bonuses are really working?

That's just it--the abilities I supposedly have don't show in that tab. (Does it have anything to do with the fact I'm playing a TDM game vs. computer opponents?)

How can I tell if racial bonuses are really working?

One thing I notice is that if I bump up, say, my race's ship defence ability (10 percent, 15 percent, whatever) it never does show up in-game under the racial abilities when you right-click a ship to...

Re: TDM-ModPack 3.30 BETA

Is the Earth Alliance really changed? I see in the setup menu that the date for the EA still reads 8/5/02 while some of the other changed races (i.e. Jraenar) have a newer 2003 date (something like...

Re: Disappearing star systems and other weirdness

Disappearing star systems and other weirdness

I'm in the middle of a long TDM game against the AI and have noticed two strange things.

1. All the colonies in two systems have "disappeared." (In the case of the second one, I had happened to...

Re: Strange warp points question

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I didn't make that mistake only because I'm paranoid about making it and so am always very careful about that.

But I do now remember that the other weird thing that happened...

Re: Strange warp points question

The game automatically places these markers? Does this also mean that my ships will automatically avoid these warp points?

But then, that doesn't account for how it is that I can see my ship...

Re: Strange warp points question

I already considered that. But as it happens, the sector in question is immediately above the one I'm coming from so it's clearly the shortest route.

Now what's this about damaging warp points?...
