Personally, the Fusion Lamp is a trap in my opinion. I actually like to give it to hostile faction stations, then I can trade them volatiles at a nice high premium to make bank.
I actually think that the only good use for a fusion lamp would be on a gas giant that is cold, dark, and has bonus volatile production. Countering the two effects plus having the planet itself offset the volatile need seems to be the only way to make the fusion lamp worth it.
The fusion lamp helps on growing colonies with cold climates and high hazard rating , it is overall cheaper than paying for the full hazard pay iirc
Yeah.. it's kinda crazy!
Remember that when a colony says it needs or exports 3, 5, 10 units of something, it's not literally just asking for that number.
It's logarithmic, depending on colony size. The 10 units of volatiles your name here 2 needs is probably a couple thousand volatiles. Same with the supplies it needs, probably needs ~400 to ~800 supplies to meet it's demand for the month. Again, might be more or less depending on the size of the colony.
I think the easiest way to think about it is income and outcome. Normally you won't be able to get nearly enough to make up for it, so you need to acquire it through imports from other colonies.
Yeah, figured that out, cheers! It's pretty complex, which I really like.
Don't forget to turn off your shield to get the 0 flux speed bonus.
Will try to remember!
My name suggestion is "Frostpunk" for the new planet. One of the best games I ever played. I would name 3 destroyers "buttercup", "bubbles" and "blossom" (powerpuff girls) for their heroism in the battle against scavengers. Naming the eagle "Professor Utonium" might be fitting as well x)
Also I think you need to insert the corrupted nanoforge into heavy industry.
Oh nice! hahaha. Love the names :D
Quick tip to facilitate exploration: when in a system, you can use the 3rd icon in your tab to perform a sensor burst. That will provide your fleet with signals worth investigating at longer ranges, which means you don’t have to be next to the object to discover it !
Yeah, I've been using it alot in recording recently, it's super nice actually haha.
the only stable location in the new colony is the Sun, you can build one there but I think you need an Alpha AI Core
yes it requires alpha core and and he has to go fast or slowly crawly to the sun so you wont get pushed back, not sure how many location it does
Great info! Thankyou! :D
Yea you can add one but it consumes an alpha core. You only really need one stable point for stability relay
Hey Timo, just a few more tips:
When you said the eagle is slow and had trouble catching up, you had you shields up. When you fly a ship, have shields down, fighters (if you have any) on regroup and are at 0 flux, you get a substantial speed boost (I think it was 50 flat speed or so). When you just spam the maneuvering jets, you can get the eagle up to 130 combat speed and even catch some frigates.
The lamp is absolutely not worth it in 99% of cases.
About orders and ships getting dogpiled on: when you select a friendly ship, you have escort ordrs available. You can choose 1-2 main ships, and assign a "heavy escort" to them. Then your ships will stay together and fight as small wolf packs. They are much harder to flank and concentrate fire better if you do that. If giving that order every combat, there is a mod that allows you to set escort default orders as (free) hull mods. I think it was called automatic orders.
Keep up the good work, enjoying both series.
escort orders can be damgerous tho, it happens often that ships just stack up behind the shipto be escorted, making enemy ships focus in on the clump pretty much swarming the ship in front.
more of a priblem with very large enemy fleets with lots of larger ships.
For those it is better to use nav points in a line so no ship can be targeted alone (most of the time)
Great tips, thanks for the heads up, I'll try to keep it all in mind as best I can :D
In combat, if you need to close the distance to an enemy, lower your shields, you move faster. You will also move faster if your not firing. These combined with your ability will all stack together
You can also target an enemy by mousing over them and pressing R this will make your automated weapons focus on that ship if they can (they will still shoot other ships if they don't have angle or range on your main target)
You can "ASUMME DIRECT CONTROL" of any of your ships in combat, just select a ship in the tactical map and press X, a tiny shuttle will fly to the ship, land on it and you'll be able to pilot the ship. Lots of fun seeing you play btw hahaha
Thanks! Yeah, I prefer to use the Autopilot mostly though. Good to know for sure. Glad you're enjoying!
Last episode when you scavenged the mining station for goodies and it broke down to a debris field, you can actually do it again and get more good stuff. Works with research stations too. I've gotten very good stuff on my second scavenge attempt. You'll be missing out if you don't.
Call your home world Tatooine
Ha! It's kinda fitting, though tatooine is a desert planet, not arid ;)
The orbital fusion lamp isn't practical early game. It's ment for late game when you got a colony that can supply the volatiles required in the same system, or at least after you built up military base/high command to help keep traders safe. If you add the DIY planets mod you can better customise your planets and transform them into true paradises. Also has an alternative to orbital fusion lamp that is a very long time investment to terraform, instead of just mitigating the effects of cold. If you think something is overpowered then just don't use that structure or item. No need to exclude everything from the mod because of a few things you don't like.
A battlestation helps too but does nothing to get traders from hyperspace to your planet safely. Only helps traders orbiting your planet and aids in protecting from raiders.
The volatiles production does increase as colony size grows but a gas giant is best for volatiles as the colony item buffs that production up the most, but there is an alternative that'll benefit other planet types more as you can't use that item on a gas giant.
You can also transfer the colony to another faction when you find somewhere better to settle and whenever you want governship you can get it for cheap as it was a player colony. The only downside I've noticed compared to full ownership is no option to grant independence. Rest works as if you have full ownership. You can cede governship anytime but must pay again to reclaim it.
Yeah.. you're right on the lamp for sure, it's a trap early on. I'm avoiding DIY planets for now just because I've got so much I'm still learning and I'd rather get that down before adding more mods with more to learn aahaha, lots of playthroughs in future that will become heavier and heavier modded.
Just subscribed, please do all you can to highlight this amazing game! I have been playing since 2014 and am very excited to see so many channels starting up a Starsector series. Too many people just highlight the combat aspect, so I am very happy that you are going into colony dynamics.
Fact I learned on my own playthrough:
Industrial Evolution, the mod that introduces Domain Artifacts and a various means of countering planet issues like Hot/Extreme Hot or Cold/Extreme Cold, has the Stellar Reflector structure. It's nullifies Hot/Cold (not the extreme versions) and gives +1 output to farms while active, but more importantly, when it's nullifying Cold, that nullification DOES NOT affect the upkeep cost of the Kefka Simulator (the industry that creates AI cores and requires Cold/Extreme Cold in order to reduce the upkeep cost). You can check the upkeep cost of the individual buildings and see if the cold/extreme cold is lowering the cost. And since Ind.Evo is what adds both the Kefka Simulator and the Supercomputer, I think the Supercomputer isn't negatively affected by nullifying Cold.
Fair warning, I haven't tested this with the Orbital Fusion Lamp, though I'd assume they work off of similar mechanics.
EDIT: oh, and the lamp is definitely a late-game item. Like, well after you have a nice big colony on a gas giant, with a Dynamo and Alpha core. It's just far too expensive to use.
EDIT2: @35:24 There's a fun little exploit with this bar prompt if you have the cash. If you see this prompt, you can go to the local ship market, and buy a matching ship. Then turn around and flip it to the bar contact. You'll get a small profit in credits, but also reputation with the faction that owns the planet.
EDIT3: @46:17 Well, one extremely important thing to know about trading is the F1 key. If you are in a system with a relay (like most Core systems), if you look at a commodity in inventory or in the market and hit F1 (or Fn key + F1, depending on keyboard setup), then the game shows you the best places to buy and sell commodities and at what price. It's a fantastically important thing to know, and the game doesn't really throw in your face to learn. And I don't think I've seen you pull up that menu, so just thought I'd mention it. Oh, and F1 is used in other parts of the game too.
You don't have to fully fuel the plasma torch either. Just produce at least some volatiles somewhere and it will be a benefit. Selling them also has a benefit in that you make money off exporting the volatiles to them but not as much as having one on each of your cold planets.
I know this is old, but thank you. I was wondering how the hell you were supposed to make money with trading
A good name for a snowy ice colony would be Khione, the greek goddess of snow.
Oh that's beautiful, I really like it (I've already named the colony though :( but I'll keep it in mind)
Did you know that if you fly into the sun using E-burn, you can set up a comms/nav buoy there? It acts like a normal man-made one in a stable point since the sun of the solar system is a stable point itself.
Planet 1 name: Origin Realm
Planet 2 name: Realm Alpha
Ooooh, great info thanks!
Name the ice world Greenland and name the home world Iceland
Nice!
You can create stable locations by flying into the sun to get the popup to come up asking if you wanna make one. Unsure how many you can make but I think it's until there is three stable locations.
You may need to emergency burn to get close enough to the sun.
The max is 3 per system
Cheers! Good to know.
i know i'm watching this a bit late BUT since you already got that yellow skill that removes a d-mod a month i think is i would not be so afraid about picking up a cool ship with a bunch of d-mods. Especially if that random d-mod repair only got 1 ship to randomly pick a d-mod for then it will have the d-mods fixed up quite fast. However that's easy for me to say since i'm the very esscanse of a pack rat and salvageto my core :D. Just found you and loving this content already keep it up man
A few tips for you Mr timo, wen exploring in deep space use the third ability to send a sensor pulse and pick things very far.
Second, wen flying in deep space or in hostile territory shut off your transponder bacause It makes you fleet way more visible.
Third, stability is the most important thing in your colony, If the stability fall under 5 you will make less money, just bild more structures that improve It.
Last you need to shut your shild off to fly faster in battle, the hellsmenship skill alow you to fly fast with your shild on i think.
Saftey overrides let’s u fly fast with ur shield
Thanks for the tips! :D
put the corupted nanoforge to your orbital works to have less d-moded ships.
little addition there, don't do it on a habitable planet as it causes pollution, which increases costs of all industries (25% hazard rating)
Good to know!
Good work on the video keep it up and the planet name should be " cryolamp".
haha! Cryolamp. Original ;) ;)
Your unsorted inventory hurts my soul
EXPERIENCE MY ADHD FED CHAOS. ENDURE IT. MWUAHAHAHA. xD
It would be funny if it stayed as "Your name here 2" XD
Hahahahaha
haha the description for the simulation engine is perfect
So good right? hahaha
For you to find things in Black Hole and Neutron Star systems use your ping to scan and you will usually find something...
Also, as someone else mentioned, of you want to move faster in combat turn off your shield and put any fighters of regroup.
Black holes never have anything for me :(
Well, now that you have the Cryovolcanic world, like you said to my last comment, "Crystal" would be a perfect name for it!
;) ;)
dont forget to select the button "use stockpiles during shortages" above the commodities list in the manage colony screen.
I got it :D
For trading when you're in the market screen you can press F1 while hovering over a commodity to see top five lowest and top five highest prices as long as you have coms relay
Great info! Will defo make use of this! :D
For Ludd!
when in your name 2 on the colony management screen you need to click the button above commodities. this will allow the colony to use the resources you have been dropping off, when its not selected it wont use any of the resources you add to the pools, only what it makes or imports
comment was made before finishing the video, you figured this out on your own
Haha, Cheers tho!
You can upgrade the military relays with money to become interstellar relays, but i do think you need a military base for that in system, wich also takes 1 industry slot since it produces marines. The relays increase spawned fleet size and there is a special item you can install in them. Its a really good and cheap building to have on planet if you have a building slot free.
Name for the ice planet: The Fridge
Good info cheers!
you can create / find stable locations with a ... ai-core fly into the sun .. i THINK it was a alpha core you need
That lamp is a troll item to be put on a those ice pirate base just to spam em violatile stuff to be sold as a way to earn big money leeching of them from it,
Better cancel it out.
Yeah.. for sure.
Cold Planet = Greyfrost
Like it!
Stalagta III for the ice world
Like it!
name for the ice planet could be
urnamhar II
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How about naming the new planet "Cocytus" spelled as "kokutos" which litterally means lamentation was known as the river of wailing in ancient greek methology . since they will be living in a barren frozen land I guess the name fits .
Oooh, bit late (Recorded the episodes where I named em) but I love the suggestion! :D
My vote for names is " Big Bertha' for a tanker lol.
Ha! I like it :D
Cool name would be Crayon for the new colony
Crayon?! Hahaha
48:30 I mean you did set your faction to be +0.5 religious type of government if I remember correctly.
Idealogical, not religious. Unless I completely misunderstood what starsector means by Idealogical.
Better used a converted hangar on that eagle ships, it's help better on em, hope you could do it
Considering that he is right next to Aurorans space, I think it's better if he buy ate least two minorias than to intall a converted hangar in the eagle.
Oooh, you think? Hmm.
Jaggy Frigate class ship
Jaggy? xD
@@TimoRedbeard yesh ?
Haven't watched full vid yet but Mil relays upgrade to a pseudo com relay and stack with insystem com relays if you have stable locations
Also Cryon sounds good for the frozen volcanic planet
Ah, perfect! Cheers :D
you shouldn't have transponder on at hyperspace .. it just makes you scream to everyone HERE I AM .. pirates, hostile factions, attack me if you want!
!
!
Man, I beg you to please not let the AI take control of your flagships, it's so bad at times lol.
In case you didn't know, you can take (or transfer) control of a ship mid-action through the tactical map.
Ah man, I like it. I've spoke about it a bunch and it may not be optimal but sometimes I just wana watch the fight :D
52 seconds ;P
Wait.. what's 52 seconds? xD
transport name dig bickle
Love it haha
The simulation engine is shit IMO, the building where you have to put it needs to burn AI cores to work. You need a steady supply of them.
There is a building (the update of the Patrol HQ) that with a domain item could work as com relay (but with a +2 instead of a +1 to stability) but you need to find it and it is VERY RARE to find, I only find one once in a random double dip.
The Fussion lamp is mainly used to cheat the AI to raise the price of volatiles in an IA controlled planet. For example, going to a planet that produced them in bulk, buying everything they have, then going to a cold planet, sell them the lamp for good money, wait a little to the prices to update and them sell them every the number of volatiles they lack, not less, not more. Wait to their reserve to run out and repeat that trade run until you are made of gold.
I have a play that's a few month old, i have colonized 4 star systems close by (within 12ly) and a single supercomputer with the sim engine plus ALL those gammas that i don't care pushed my economy to the roof. I can pull fleets all around, my operatives are always creating havoc, I just don't care about money anymore.
It's very useful in a very mature game with all planets in those systems colonized (thats a lot of AI admins)
Mmmmm, good info thank you :D
I recommend you not use the fusion lamp at this stage of the game, probably not at all. USE YOUR SCANNER!!!
Name for the planet: Helheim
I WILL USE IT I PROMISE I'M SORRY
@@TimoRedbeard DAMN RIGHT YOU WILL LOL 😂
