Vodyani ignore planet population limits because they work off ark population limits. This means that you can have the max ark pop working a gas giant making them highly valuable for Vodyani.
Oh man, I can't believe I missed this! Thanks a lot for mentioning it. I haven't played Vodyani since pre-release, so when I play them and make the 1.0 update video I'll be sure to look at this. Thanks!
No problem. When you do start playing Vodyani I suggest you focus on maxing out your population as early as possible. The sooner you hit 5-7 pop per ark the better as your population is what will allow you to keep up with wider empires. Also don't over look alms for essence
vodyani also cap at the max of the planet the system developments only help you till the natural pop cap is reached
That is a bit difficult to tell as at least in my games there is an issue where It says I can have 6 on a planet but am only allowed 5 at second level system. At third level It says I can have 9 but am only allowed 7. The population counter gets stalled but still shows a number of turns and holy proliferation works but no new population is added. Might be a bug, but Im not sure if anyone else has this issue.
yes this should be some kind of bug, i dont have it atleast
This is the first 4x game I've ever played and these videos are helping so much. Thank you!
Getting into the game right now. This is very much appreciated. ES2 seems to trigger something in people that makes them create 3h guides :D This is better.
I know right. It's super atrocious sometimes how long these videos are for sometimes super straightforward mechanics
great video and great explantion. ur guides realy helped me with the game... especially the one for desgining ships
Best guide about planets what have i seen. 10/10 Thank you!
This is really useful. Every time I think I am learning how to play this game, you come along and suddenly I have a ton of new tips. Thanks so much.
Great video! Another short guide that might be fun, is showcasing all the increases that a republic gives to each law, or going into the intricacies of the different forms of governments, like autocracy for cravers. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Cole, great idea :)
Atoll planets are the bests because they have vegetation everywhere with shallow oceans, making it thriving with life everywhere and superhabitable
Nicely put together! Great job :)
great video and thanks for making and sharing the picture of the planets! super cool and useful!
excellent analysis, good job!
another great addition to my Endless information! Cheers.
Thank you so much!! We need this explained in the game! :D
Thanks for the great guides
I'm not sure if anyone noticed this, but there was a pattern to the distribution of dust: There was on average a larger amount of dust for less biodiversity, but it also depended on temperature. The dust concentrated on the temperate planets. Throughout all the different levels of biodiversity, dust was always concentrated on the temperate planets, and the least biodiverse planets had the highest peak dust levels.
Edit: After writing this, I also noticed that food also concentrates on the temperate planets of all levels. Approval does as well with most approval usually matching with most food in favoring more temperate and more biodiverse. One notable exception for that pattern for approval was the toxic planet. Toxic is middle of the temperatures for its level of biodiversity and has the most food of its level, but it has much less happiness than the planets that are immediately hotter and colder than it.
wow, a really nice guide here
Awesome job on the vid!
This is Excelent. Thank you!
With Horatio its basically mass terraforming time once you integrate a few races into the gene pool since with the insane bonuses you start stacking up you'd want as many beautiful bastards in each system as you can get. ^^
Yeah it's pretty strong with them! They don't get their happiness bonus anymore then, but you probably have plenty of happiness anyway and it's definitely worth it.
Great work! Thanks.
By this chart. The center point is the divergence. Dust is increased closest to toxic, and food is also increased closest to toxic, but at the same time the food and dust are splitting themselves to how far to or how close they are to the top.
I'm new to this game so I don't know the answer to this. But if someone asks is it worth it.. are they meaning to ask should I not prioritize it, or should I avoid it?
Waervyn, Is it true you cannot form alliances of more than three races in total (including yourself)? I played the Unfallen and twice ran into the problem that i could not invite more than two other races into the alliance, although the other races clearly wanted to join.
Also could you make a video on how alliances work (especially how the Vetoing works)
Yeoman's work mate; too much work for me but that is why u upload and I just backseat-drive :D
I will say once one has understood the basic traits of the planets the key is the population types. Most of the factions have ways to increase certain minor races into their fold.
Based on the map, the key to maximizing the planets is to synchronize the race preference for the various planets.
thx for the screen shot... been wondering what the different classes are of planets... help me with early game horatio decisions.. being to get competitive with them as for example myself vs 3 cravers... been getting better every week.
The gas giants are out of date. Anyway, I made a spreadsheet to figure out what terraforming was best under different conditions.
The conclusion: The more per-pop bonuses you can get makes extra population slots increasingly more valuable. Generally the extra slots more than make up for lesser raw bonuses.
For science, terraform to Boreal or Ocean, especially after Punctured Evolution. For production, Desert, especially after AI Labor. For dust, Ocean, Terran, Forest, Atoll, especially after Adaptive Tax.
Note, however, that the extreme ends can still remain competitive as the planet size increases. (The percentage of pop difference is lessened on huge planets.)
And surprisingly, Arid is good at nothing. It's always better to terraform away no matter what you want to focus on.
As for gas giants, the huge ones are definitely worth colonizing after Floating Superstructures if you can keep the pop happy.
Awesome analysis thanks! Must be a large spreadsheet!
Not no much large, as complicated. I did a write-up and download on reddit ( to very little fanfare ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
www.reddit.com/r/EndlessSpace/comments/7x521l/terraforming_planet_comparison_calculator/
When I click on it, nothing happens. It says the post is removed :(
That's odd. It works for me. Which are you talking about? The reddit link of the download link?
Oh, I see the problem. The sheets file is really a link to the live document which is exactly what I was trying not to do. Um... I don't see any way to make it a standalone download yet. Export just breaks it.
One thing I noticed looking at your handy graph is that the dust is towards the center.
Arent the less useful planets resource wise useful for population control? Or say if you use it as a pop hub to send pop to another system?
Does placement of turrets on spaceship matter?
So for example there are 4 turrets but only 3 can shoot. Or visual representation and calculations are completely separate.
from what i have seen on broadside it only ever lets you shoot from 1 side of the ship. only missiles disregard that and turn around to attack the target.
I was waiting that you would say that dust increaces then you approach the center of the grapg, but you omited it
vodyani can have same population ~9, both on telluric and gas planets, and as far as i remember it is not influenced by planet size
Yes, coz they are shipbound. But the 9 pop mark can only be achived it you have leveled the outpost to level 4.
I think i felt my brain shut down after that.... lol
How much dust does Mars have and can it be terra formed.
YASSS that is exactly what i need.
No man, you're wrong! This is all you need: ua-cam.com/video/OBGOQ7SsJrw/v-deo.html
Wtf?
Couldn't resist :) Glad you liked the video!
@@WaervynsWorld I did NOT expect this...just wow. Props for an amazing sense of humour!
Question, have you figured out what's considered a planet's "climate"? There is a UE quest that require you to colonize a planet of every climate type, but the game never says what climate types are! Is it just the temperature types (hot, cold, temperate) or is it something else?
Which quest is that? Certain faction? Then I can have a look at it :). My first guess would be that it's just hot/cold/temperate.
It's one of the first two or three quests for the United Empire if I remember correctly. Specifically, the Mezari choice. I've completed it twice now without actually knowing what I did. >.
So does that mean terraforming for example a lava planet to a ash planet would give the planet extra population slots?
yes, thats the most important part of terrmorphing - more population
TERRAN & FOREST planets have switched names positions in your video, overall everything else is ok
seems to me they should switch back. Forest should be more green looking and next to Jungle, and Terran should be more brown looking and next to Boreal
Nice video, should be very helpful. I'm kind of a sucker for Icy/Cold/Snow type planets ever since I watched Empire Strikes Back. IRL there are also many sick sceneries up in Canada, Scandinavia or the Poles, or every mountain range. In-game tho I'll have to counter the happiness penalty to make things work :-)
Nice video. PS, you sound exactly like Grubby from Starcraft 2, check it out:D are you Dutch?
Originally Dutch indeed! Although I haven't lived there for many years.
Waervyn's World cool, you really should compare how you speak to Grubby, sentance building and pauses are scary similar. thanks for the videos, learned a lot:)
I'm playing as United Empire right now and I decided to change my government type to Republic, because I'm such a nice guy. Because I wanted to play it cool in the beginning, I made peace with most empires I encountered. That led to the Pacifist party gaining a lot of support and they became the leading party. Now I am in turn 160 and really want to wage war, but those stupid Pacifist laws are really not helping. If I change my government type to Federation again, will the pacifists still be in charge, or do I get my Industrialist/Militarist senate back?
i have waged war as a pacifist or ecologist and had no problems winning or fighting at all. i mean if you want to conquer the galaxy it sure helps to be militarist but if you just want to grab some nice systems its rly not worth turning your whole pop around to militarist.
"weeeeeeeeeeee"??? why???
There is no graph
There is a link in the description. I just checked it and it works for me!
first
You win the internet!
