Default Re: Proportions....

It's the way SE4 works, with no way to change it (except not including a disadvantage like that) and I don't particularly think it's a problem. It's just some compensation for that otherwise very large disadvantage.

A thing I dislike more is that you won't be able to build any facilities on a Tiny domed colony (if you have that disadvantage).

But, it's not disastrous. I've played a couple of successful games using that disadvantage.

Make the domed planets have more slots then.

Yeah, I think I will, for 3.0 but not for 2.x.

PVK: Has anyone tested this in 1.84 yet?

I don't like the way the AI sends Pop Transports to the CLOSEST planet (Domed or not) now in v1.84 that fills the Population to 300m Plus befor moving on. Not consedering any longer is it breathable. At least befor, the Breathable planets had priority and they would benefit more from the pop bonus with the added facility slots. Too bad there could not be more logic since Population is a important equation for increased production and construction. Even if they only droped of 100m then moved on. Better if the AI could be programed to treat breathables with a seperate logic then domed all togeather.

Does proportions work with 1.84?

Is it usable for single player?

Thanks,

Ken

Yes, indeed it is an undocumented 1.84 feature Well, it could a good thing if there would be a way to mod how many people minister moves before shifting to another planet. Now AI in proportions is royally screwed.
