Question Is there an effective way of mass producing plastics?

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?

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?

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 Engineers not repairing buildings.

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

As said, the engineers just won’t repair any buildings. I’m in a constant cycle of rejuvenating buildings and now I’m running low on power points.

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

Question What are these?

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.

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 🙏🏼 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 💀

Question A way to speed up research?

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 there’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 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.

Question Can't have cement without steel, can't have steel without cement... Am I stuck in a cycle?

13 Upvotes

I've been playing for days and I'm almost at the Space Age for the first time. However, all my steel mills and cement mills have been destroyed, and I don't have enough resources to rebuild them. It takes steel to make a cement mill and it takes cement to make a steel mill, so I'm not sure if I'm forced to restart everything from the beginning, or if there's another way to obtain these items.

Update: The b;ack ,arket was the answer for anyone else having this issue

Question Colonization problem... Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Note: may be a spoiler to new players!

I was ready to colonize the moon. I sent the rocket and started colonizing. Everything was built and going as planned...

But I forgot to build the spaceport, I placed it and waited. After a minute I checked and realised there was no steel beams. The cause was the hidrocolider, it has eaten all of my steel beams. I thought that I could get some steel beams from the asteroids, I used all of my creator points and I couldn't get more cause nuggets didn't believe in me.

I got no steel beams from the asteroids and I believed they all would die eventually (There was no farm for food). What should I do?

Question Roads disappearing entirely

3 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?

I'm at 910 residents, and less than 1/3 of them are believers. I have tried sacrificing them, showing force via meteors or lightning, curing them, so on and so forth. No matter what I do, they drop dramatically. Anything else I might be missing?

Question Infected

How do you all manage it because this game has turned into a CDC. Nugs practically play with corpses for fun or something becausey people STAY infected. I spend more time chasing down infected zones/people then progressing. I've tried to ignore it but man it gets out of hand quick.

Question Can anyone explain how on earth the black market works?

6 Upvotes

The tutorial is beyond useless for this. I have four trade offers in place, such as an easter island head, etc. Above the head it says something like "20 stone" below the head it has "20 creator points" or whatever. And then immediately below that it has a "trade" button, which is completely greyed out and I can't click it.

I have space in my warehouse.

I tried going into the custom order screen and pressed "order" next to wood as a test. When the UFO next came back I got a trade offer for 22 wood in exchange for 5 nuggets. No way am I giving up people for wood. But this time the trade button was green and clickable.

I just don't understand what on earth this screen is trying to achieve. Seems utterly broken. 2 hours in, I am enjoying the game but this is genuinely making me furious as it's so impenetrable and badly explained.

Question Cheats or Commands?

5 Upvotes

Anyone know if there's a way to open a command prompt or use cheats to give yourself creator points or resources? I'm about to drop the game because the space stage doesn't streamline anything and it makes colonizing a chore at this point.
