Best Mod for solo play?

Well measurements of realism are subjective in many ways. To my own standards, Proportions is much more realistic.

For the specific example of population growth, I think of population as a semi-abstract mechanic, and in practice, planets in Proportions are almost never "full" - when they are, it abstractly represents the limit of an environment to support more (abstract) useful civilian elements.

Not that this is on-topic. Maybe an admin could move these Posts to another thread, since they've sidetracked this one.

No, they don't move Posts to other threads when they get side-tracked here on Shrapnel.

I'm with PvK here. Proportions is FAR more realistic than the unmodded game.
Try transporting a 100 million people in cargo containers for several months and you'll see what you have in there at the end of the trip.....

No, it is just as unrealistic as the unmodded game. A few items like that might make a bit more sense, but you still couldn't transport 1 million people in a single ship for months on end with no problems.

Fyron, how in the world can you admit that the mod makes improvements, while still claiming that the mod is just as unrealistic!?!

Fyron · #6 February 7th, 2003, 11:03 PM

It doesn't necessarily make improvements, it makes changes. The changes are not necessarily any more or less realistic.

Oh come on, you just want to discuss for the sake of it

Transporting 1m instead of a 100m its more realistic, isn't it?
