Default Re: Help me stop losing my interest!

Trust me, I have been there often.

What I did I started inventing new facilities to use, new technologies, etc.

Also, I learned that the Auto Que is my best friend. I often set up planet Job Que's, then save them for use with other planets.

6 Intel
6 Research
18 Storage
18 Mineral Pro
etc.

It helps with the micromanagment, and prevents the ministers from screwing me.

I also invented the Genesis Device, a facility that terraformes a planet in about 1 to 5 turns. This way, I can colonize several planets at one time, then add just this facility, then after X amount of turns, I have converted the atomsphere of a bunch of worlds. I then destroy the device and use a preset Que to build on the planet.

Keeps my interest going.

Also, I switch sides. I pick an AI that is weak, and play him for a while to build him up.

Also take a break from the game for a month. Play something else.

Start writing about your game. Make up a story.

There are a lot of things you can do to keep your interest alive. I just have lost my interst in typing for the moment. Time for food.
