Hey, another question

[Suicide Junkie]

Just imagine the kind of resources you could be pulling in if you formed that into a planet and filled it with monoliths!

No maintenance, and you don't deplete the value each turn.

Me watches sadly as the poor, defenseless asteroids are strip mined by the heartless machinery of the starbase

Is that in a Finite game? or do the asteroids lower the percentage because of mining? If that is the case, then making planets out of them would be an option, if I can wait that long.

Sorry if I seem slow

Asteroids do deplete in value when you mine them, even in Infinite games. I always thought that was kind of silly.

ARRRGHHHH!!! well, that puts a serious cramp in my style I wanted to be a true capitalist, I wanted to exploit them asteroids for everything I could squeeze out of them, and NOW I find that the GODs play an evil trick on me

...slinks away looking for something to exploit

Narrew, it seems to me you succeeded in being a "true capitalist" (exploitationist), wanting to loot no matter what the consequences.

HAHA, I don't know if that is a compliment or not. If not, I bet you would consider it explotion when I change all my planet atmospheres to Methane since that is what I breath muhahaha, if I could get a remote atsmophere converter, I would make a fleet of them and change the universe to my needs. Better buy stocks in Dome manufacturing here I come....

You CAN disable that in Settings.txt (I do). Not sure if you can do it mid-game though. Can someone back me up on that?

[Fyron]

You should be able to see the effects of changing that setting mid-game as it has nothing to do with the map itself.

YEAAA, back to exploiting for me

Actually I wont change the settings, so I don't get used to something that is not the norm in PBW games.

[Fyron]

Remote mining is not very useful in stock se4 (the PBW norm), actually. It is just so easy to start building planets within the first 110 turns or so.
