My best score out of all my attempts so far was 1799 on Beijing: While it starts out more like a plain puzzle game, things ramp up and get out of hand very quickly and forces you to think very critically about how your districts or whatever are connected. What do u do when yuo're born to play fps? guess there's nothing left to do but play fps. Setting up a manufacturing building of some kind, even if you need to import the raw materials, is usually a much, much better use of your starting budget. That isn't even counting the cost in fuel to send the trucks, or the initial costs for the trucks / trains. Could just be me though.Įxporting raw materials aside from crude oil is pretty marginal, money wise, and especially because there are throughput limits to the export stations so you start being physically unable to handle the border traffic. something, I guess? I may just keep waiting and see if the polish improves over time, because as-is it's very unclear what's going on 90% of the time. It's still very jank and hard to tell what's going on, but I did at least manage to set up a tiny bit of export economy, selling coal back to the Soviets. Revisited Workers and Resources after playing just the tutorials previously.

I'm absolutely hooked, the idiot driving the truck of raw metal around and getting confused and blocked is me. Thank you for posting, this hell base is nowhere near as hellish as you seem to think it is.Į: speaking of hell bases, I've been playing foxhole and good gravy. Stone goods and material production all the way off from the rest of that hellish base.

Gear, Rail and metal belts, since I didn't really see the sense in trying to glom onto my existing cloth belt production. Heavier industry that REALLY spiraled beyond my control as I did the various industrial researches. Initial set up and various wood production.īetter image of the food and various textile goods. Robots (and thus the campaign) are also bit soulless. Robots doing colonization is fine but herding sheep so that dwelling can produce energy is. Only thing it stumbles with is the theme. This makes the combat much more logistics and production based compared to Settlers 2's, where gold coin and soldier micromanagement was important part of being effective in warfare. Military is also more refined, as it is based on towers shooting each other with produced ammunition and mad dashes to repair towers before they fall over. Mine and fishing spots are clearly marked and produce infinitely. Hovering over stone pile cluster how much stone there is in total in that. Height differences also don't matter (or at I haven't noticed any). Map is in tiles, so sizes of roads and buildings are clear as day. There is also more clarity in the information. Only thing I sorely miss is the ability to set buildings priority lower than normal. Player has incredible amounts of control over the production: Specific pieces of road can be upgraded, woodcutters can prioritize certain tiles, foresters only plant on designated spots, buildings can be prioritized and so on. Having played The Colonists again has solidified my view on it further: The Colonists is the most refined Settlers 2 -like I have played. I have over 1,000 hours in Factory Town, your base can't be worse than mine! People keep vandalizing my ID photo I've lodged a complaint with HR
