First, the more practical idea: military population. Rather than just consuming a single colonist to create a no-maintenance unit, I think that creating infantry and other military units should convert a number of regular colonists into military colonists, who would have a separate population bar with a separate capacity (increased with specialty housing like barracks) and still consume food and other resources. To compensate for existing military units, having more military units than your military capacity wouldn't kill those units, only prevent more from being made until more housing was created.

Military units could be "tied" to a particular location, by default the settlement they were created into, and units could be garrisoned into certain buildings like MBTs in War Factories. You could potentially transfer your military units to another settlement if they had housing available and the appropriate tech/settlement levels. Perhaps a similar population/transfer system could be implemented for regular vehicles and there could be garages.

Second, probably impractical, idea: implement a crowding limit for units so that you can't just stack 2000 infantry in a 6x6 square. How much do you think this would slow down pathfinding @bastecklein?

Small idea: scale all units down to size 6 (for reference, colonists are 4 and current units and buildings are 9.)

Tried this with colonist scale, but it's a bit too small. Some units and buildings would have to be revised to work at this size, but I think it's a pretty good complement to building and colonist scales.

Thx but there's no need; the only change (if any) to the structure would be the model.

This is a really minor thing, but would you mind updating the model on this in the next update? Thank you! le model

edit: maybe it could be renamed column of dominion to clear up confusion

Also, I personally prefer the square-topped IB model over the current one; switch it if you'd like!

how many dislikes am I going to get on this lol

edit: messed up poll options but it still works???

skibidi dop dop dop yes yes, skibidi dobidi deep deep
skibidi dop dop dop yes yes, skibidi double u reeh reeh

hail fish

fascinating

wait a second the old and new in the poll should be reversed oops

Honestly I think my first IB model is a little too rough around the edges, but what do you think?


(previous model)

use artifact extractors, the green drones built from a robotics factory
they drop off to warehouses or giorgio institutes

As you may be aware of, STV was a custom MC2 news server that I set up about a year ago. Since replit stopped hosting sites for free, I began another rewrite of STV to make it more concise and lightweight so that I could host it through another service. Most all the frontend content is still the same, but I rebranded from STV to SBS since there's no actual video feed included. Now, SBS is up and running at https://sbs-5kya.onrender.com/. Please try it out and let me know what you think!

lessgo dracs are back

known issue, fixed on the beta channel

we may need better water generation, but this is not the way to do it
in fact, this is exactly what alien tech shouldn't have been, just a reskin of human tech

bruh

hell yeah

Update: Gave the SkyBus a basic interior and updated all derivative models accordingly. Let me know if you want to switch back to the blacked-out doorway version.

Yeah, in the interest of player mode I suppose you could build stations anywhere; the inter-settlement is just to emphasize that the stations should also allow your population to work/live(?) across settlements.
