Hope that Asteriod/Planet engine comes to be at some point. Would be nice to move a planet here an asteriod belt there.

Hey, I'm fairly new to the game and I was wondering about something when I was playing earlier today. In the regular gold game, unmodded(not-counting the TDM-pack, because those are just AI files, right?) how much of a production bonus does a sphereworld give you once it's fully populated? It can fit what, 64 billion people in it? I imagine thats a hell of a boost for a advanced shipyard, espically for a temporal tech race.

Look in settings.txt for the Pop Modifiers. It will tell you.

Hopefully I am reading this wrong, but it only boosts production 100 percent? A 10 billion pop planet boosts 90! What is the point of building a sphereworld if it is that big a waste?

You are reading that correctly.

SWs have little point in a normal game. If you can devote the time and effort to build 1 (or more), you could easily build war ships and end the game anyways.

SWs have tons of slots for facilities. Try building one at a chokepoint system and moving all the warp points onto it's sector, and then heavily fortifying it.

Ahhh, I see. Thanks for the help!
