PBW PvK Proportions Game #2

[PvK]

Thanks for the tip about the backwards happiness values, Fyron!

AlarikF, no, I have a sketch for the extraplanetary generators, but I haven't gotten to them yet. I figure I should do what I need to for a good stable Version to start the proposed game with, or else I'll be adding stuff for a long time without starting the game.

Further info. A negative value for the ability Change Population Happiness - System never works. Only the planet one can cause anger to rise.

yeah, I agree that for a change that could have far-reaching consequences, stability & testing are important...yet they remain an intriguing idea, and one that would likely not be viable until one reaches moderate levels of tech. Might I humbly suggest then that you have whatever placeholders you need to allow the players in the game to upgrade to a new Proportions mod that has them implemented once they are stable and tested sufficiently? Ie: players probably won't have them available for a while *anyways* so make the game "upgradeable" so the mod with the extraplanetary generators and the game can dovetail? Did that make sense? (and, I hope this doesn't sound like "preaching" - heck, I wouldn't know my ar** end around modding, and nobody likes a smarta**, so please do take this as a suggestion from an ardent fan of the mod...)

Meeps!

Thanks again Fyron, and yeah, sigh, ah well, at least one of the two values works backwards. I think maybe I tested that way back when I put the planet unhappiness on the system fac in the older Version, and then like so many details, I forgot it. Of course, lots of little things changed with each Version of the game, so it's really nice to have a current report about it.

AlarikF, yes, it will be possible to add some things as the game goes on, as long as the players agree to add them.

Good.

I have created the game on PBW, titled "PvK's Proportions Game #2", so people can sign up.

Hopefully I can even finish the new mod Version tonight.

Maybe people should post the minimum number of players they feel we should have before we start the game, too.
