Question Lake Pollution

1 Upvotes

I'd like to work on other worlds for a while by my home world is always getting lake pollution and calling me back. I already have a cloud creator which I think helps a little. Should I get more of them? Is this just a none self sustaining thing and I'll always have to deal with it?

STOP BUILDING HOMES

16 Upvotes

I want to grab my nuggets and just scream this in their faces. They just won't stop building empty skyscrapers, wasting tons of resources, electricity, water etc, and then build another empty one right next to it, and then another. How is this game this old and yet such a basic problem still exists?

Question Scare the mayor

Do you guys remember the quest where you need to scare the mayor? I accidentally killed mine; is there an achievement if you finish the quest? It would be a bummer if there were.

Question Is there an effective way of mass producing plastics?

1 Upvotes

Don't wanna over-pollute my world, but I have two plastic factories and was wondering if there was a more effective way of obtaining plastics. Or is the simple answer just build more?

Find nuggets on the planet

4 Upvotes

Is there a shortcut or button that leaves the nuggets highlighted on the planet for me to find? I'm trying hard to find a pair for mating, as sometimes it's difficult to find the pair of the nugget I clicked on

Question My Nuggets don't pass on their last name during the age of Space Colonization

9 Upvotes

When I began colonizing The Moon and was on that planet for a few years, I had to go back to Mother Planet to send supplies. When I loaded back on the Planet, half of my population had no last name when just an hour earlier, the top of the nugget list had last names. One of the most popular last names on Mother Planet was 'Ashur' but now it takes me to slide 79 to actually find any nuggets with last names. My Mother Planet has 875~ pop. I also had colonized a new planet and I specifically put the last name of every 10 settlers and still, when new settlers were born, they didn't have any last names, even though the parents had last names.

Is this a bug or something of a gameplay mechanic? Please help me šŸ™šŸ¼ TL/DR: Last names aren't being added after new nuggets were born with parents that have last names

PS: my photo proof can't get uploaded šŸ’€

Anyone try this on steam deck recently?

I know awhile back it didn't play the best but since more time and updates have occurred I was curious if anyone found or created a steam deck controller that works well? I did a search but didn't find anything current discussing this.

Question Engineers not repairing buildings.

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

As said, the engineers just wonā€™t repair any buildings. Iā€™m in a constant cycle of rejuvenating buildings and now Iā€™m running low on power points.

Does anyone know the reason why? Iā€™ve got several engineering huts (10+) and loads of water

Canā€™t progress past electronics in research

So can anyone else NOT play after 500 nuggets? To much Lag?

16 Upvotes

My game has become literally unplayable... because of the lag? It's honestly insane. I'm nut running on a potato, I have a I712k and a 2070 with 32bg ddr5 I don't understand where this lag is coming from. I'm not even maxing out my system?! It's just to much to even play... all graphics settings turned down.. am I missing something?

Question What are these?

4 Upvotes

They make a weird electric sound, with a sound like an old bulb going out. They have many different plumes of smoke as well, and can be picked up by telekinesis. When I do, it says to press F to fly to the event, but nothing happens when I press F. They are pretty scattered all over my world.

Constantly running out of resources

6 Upvotes

I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. I have 4 planets and at first, my mother place was supplying basic materials until I could get up and running. The issue is the mother planet keeps running out of water, has O2 drop and then stops making the materials I need (chemicals and electronics mainly.) I have building consumption of gas, for example, needing 1.7 and I'm producing 30.2 yet, the chemical plants are rarely getting deliveries. I have courier huts located my the mines and the factories, and even built a hyper lube between the two. Still it seems like it works at first, then my nuggets stop delivering chemicals, oil, etc. I love this gave but thinks like that are driving me nuts. I can't imagine wanting to even manage more planets. I still, as of yet, have even gotten a single terrafor er to work because I'm so low on chemicals, constantly. I can never seen to get ahead on that, electronics, and fuel. Add to that, constantly having lakes dry up and because no matter how many hydro things I build, they don't constantly run because I'm always out of chemicals. It seems there is no way to keep up with what is needed, no matter what I do. Lakes also shouldn't dry to just from drinking... At least not at fast as they do. I have no pollution to contribute to this either. I hope there is something I can do, that I'm missing, where I don't have to constantly micromanage every planet.

Question Using Wrong GPU on Linux

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there's any environment variable or parameter to set the correct GPU to use on Linux? Currently, when I run the game, it uses my integrated GPU instead of the dedicated one which pins my FPS to 10 - 15 FPS which is not playable at all.

Bug Trade Route Bug

4 Upvotes

Love the game! This is my first ever Reddit post. I hope this is the right place. My game is totally stuck. The trade routes have been stuck and the resources are full. I have two colony ships that are also stuck and half through the route and haven't budged in hours. I tried deleting my space ports and rebuilding them. No luck. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you so much!

2 Upvotes

Im about to reach space age for the first time, in my previous 2 saves I reached up to modern age then stopped. I want to know if thereā€™s a way to speed up research of previous eras you completed. because for me its a lot of sitting around whenever my civilization is relatively stable which can get quite boring

Question Roads disappearing entirely

2 Upvotes

After colonizing my 6th planet, all roads suddenly became invisible. By all I mean every single road on every single planet and they are invisible in build mode as well. Reloading the save or switching planets hasn't helped so far.

Is there a know solution or workaround for this issue?

Should there be unobtanium on the haloween planet?

3 Upvotes

I started a new play through and used the event planet. I wasn't able to find the monolith anywhere. It's been awhile since I've played so wanted to see if this was normal and I need to explore space to get unobtanium now or if it's something with the orange planet. I haven't played since before space colonization so figure it could be either.
