5 square meters holds 10 people how?

Skyscrapers.

Heading off people who start arguments about how they build skyscrapers and thus have one 10 pixal building with 1,000 rooms, with a maturation rate of 1 year and this and that and the other which means that they have one building with everyone in.

 

Until such time as folding space in on itself becomes feasible, 1 pixal supports 10 people.

 

Also Nutrient/Energy recyclers are basic tech, providing minimal food. Farms and such make people happier.

 

 

But what are the stats (housing space, defencive, etc)?

Stats?

[The_Mather1]

Yeah, city ships contain both housing, research stations, weapons (of course), shields and power generation capabillities (the hull works as a gigantic solar panel).

Also my map currently looks like the Norwegian flag since I chose red for spaceports and blue for jobs (randomly chosen actually).

I have no way to make the maps... I can't play then? :(

I think ms paint generally works

[Nexaduro]

Dunno how to use that.

[Grim_]

Step 1: Open windows explorer

Step 2: Find the image you want to edit

Step 3: Where it normally says preview click on the arrow pointing down and select ms paint

Step 4: In this case you would want to use the dot tool (in the square setting most likely)

Step 6: Edit said image

Step 7: ???

Step 8: Profit

[The_Mather1]

Just try, it's as simple as you can get in a drawing program.

[Nexaduro]

Windows explorer? And you need to edit an image?

[The_Mather1]

No, you can find it in the start menu.

[archimage_a]

If you are on Vista then:

 

Press Start

Type MSpaint in the search bar

Press enter

Wait for it to load up

Press Control+E

Change both numbers to 100

Design a city

Save

Upload to http://imgur.com/

Yeah, that is fine, I can edit them together. :thumbsup:

[Icuownage]

This is confusing... What do I design the cities on? Not the program but the image.

[archimage_a]

Just a white square, 100 pixals by 100 pixals.

Basically so they fit on here:

[Nexaduro]

Okay... what file is MSPaint under? I have too many files for a conventional search. :blink:

[Nexaduro]

Nevermind, found it. But... what do I use to colour it? It's tiny, and the tools aren't precise...

[The_Mather1]

Red is spaceport, blue is work, gray is city ship.

(Yeah on the mentioned one I failed and used the planet image thingy.)

When you are very close you can use the grid to help you.

 

Then use the pencil, since that draws 1 pixal at a time.

[archimage_a]

Red is spaceport, blue is work, gray is city ship.

 

Kk, which planet are you and I will edit it onto the site.

 

Also, you have no houses....

[The_Mather1]

The city ships contain housing, you decide how much and what else.

And the planet is, as the image's name sais, columbad5.

[archimage_a]

Hmmmm...

City ships are just like cities(only smaller, seemingly), so you need to design them.

[Nexaduro]

Also, Archi, what am I supposed to do when the game starts? I won't have any resources, and I'm living on the only planet my race can inhabit. Jeez, wish I had started the planet next to it so I didn't lose the easiest planet to inhabit. <_<

[The_Mather1]

Coming right up.

Could always switch, and you(Personally, everyone else starts with a fully colonised planet and nothing else) get 40 times the annual resource output instantously, when you start...so you could build ships with that, or something :rolleyes:

[Icuownage]

Your choice really Nex when you picked that race. Maybe use your free 500 years research to help you.
