quite right, the newest Version now attaches organics cost to crew quarters and life support. I am also working on getting fighters implemented. along with this, i have fixed some of the starting facility placement (which also effects a long standing issue that was bugging me about Porportions). I also hope to have fighters and drones working for the next release. which should be about mondayish.

regarding organics consumption of facilites: not only do happier populations produce more, they alos consume more. stands to reason. not only does an abundance of organics on a planet allow you to harvest more, it encourages frivilous consumption. stands to reason. done deal.

regarding lack of organic complexes and megaplexes, this is a carryover from porportions. Agrarian settlements and cultural facilites make up for the lack of organic megaplexes and such.

regarding components with inefficient cargo space at level 1 and no efficiency improvement between level 2 and 3, level 3 is half the cost of level 2. if this does not seem right (and please tell me if it looks goofy or does not make sense) then I will have to make level 1 even more inefficient, and likewise decrease the efficiency of level 2. This can be done, so let me know which way looks better. I kind of like the way it is.

now, as for that Porportions thing that bothered me, let me explain. cultural centers have the spaceport and resupply ability. starting homeworld facilities include spaceports and resupply depots. I tried fussing around with high tech and low tech starts, with CCs at the top and bottom of the facilities file, and finally found the answer. Homeworld cultural facilities need to have a higher tech requirement than the facilities they are going to replace. in the case of GritTech, I made Homeworld Cultural Centers require the tech Homeworld at level 10, and made the tech Homeworld a starting tech, (which starts at level 10). nothing to it. PvK, I dont know if you might want to include something similar in porportions, or not.
