For a second there I wondered why someone pasted the Xbox buttons all over that planet.
Cool story bro.
Edit: They totally stole my planetary interaction idea I had over in F&I

I'm curious, Saturious, how did you get that set up? I have a command center and I'm not quite sure how to set it up on the planet...?

Well after you set the command center up, you right-click > build > extractor and choose one, and repeat the same for the processor. Then right click one of your buildings, click 'create link' and click what you want it to link to...
so i've gone from a flaming hot planet to a lush blue one, and I can't get water on either, 0% yield, it appears to be a bug.

Well, my question was how to actually GET the command center up - I'm not sure how to do that and your post only explains what to do AFTER it is up.
Also, I think the colors depend on what minerals you're scanning for. Click on the mineral filters on left side and it changes colors on each mineral.

To build a command center you right-click on the planet, select planet view mode or whatever its called, then right-click again and select build, then command center. You must also have a command center already in your cargo hold and in space. You do not have to be in orbit of the planet you want to build on however.
Mineral scanning is not in game at the moment, so buttons and whatnot are all placeholders currently.

I can see it being quite scabby, game wise.
You could easily sink a lot of isk and time into by setting up extractors, getting them twinned with factories and doing all that.
These are VERY early days, hope they have shiny gfx soon :D

At Fanfest, they said there would be population management. They said you'd be able to make your region of the planet a utopia with happy workers or a polluted hellhole with a brutally oppressed workforce. I hope this isn't something that's cut out halfway through development and then never revisited. If it's really as simple as just building extractors and connecting them to processors, it'll get boring pretty quickly, I think.
As it is right now, it's basically moon-mining and reactions with a different appearance. That's fine as a basic system, but I want to have to manage my population and work-force, build housing, keep them happy or brutally kept in line and make them productive and stuff like that. I want to be able to train various people "livestock" like marines and then trade them to other colonies so they can use them to keep their people in line or train janitors to keep things clean so people are happier.
This is a very early implementation, so I'm sure it'll be significantly more complex upon release. I'm just slightly worried that population management wasn't mentioned in the dev blog. If population and workforce management isn't part of PI, I'm going to be pretty disappointed.

Yes i know they mentioned it on fanfest that if why i am so disappointed ... it would be so cool that people on habitable planets could produce / train marines , security personel , cow stock work force and civilians and sell them to people on magma planets where they would be like slaves working for industrty etc you would have to manage polution and moral and rebelions that would be soooooooo cool , that is what they hinted on fanfest as well ( well not moral and rebelion but that would be cool to add , your security and military would need to fight rebels on planets and keep production high etc , so you would need to check planet expecially if you are on lucrative plasma planets etc ) ... but at the moment it looks like it is just like moon mining :/ , conect few lines get products produce advanced stuff when you buy other minerals etc...
I hope some dev comes and give us some hope and thoughts and tell me that i am wrong in my fears :) ... i think they should know that mass of people would like something like what i mentioned above ... and i dont really think it would be so hard to develop such system , and this is perfect oportunity -.-

this is an alpha, what do you expect?
I like it it for the start, to get a feeling for the new system. The other features like "population management" and trade aggreements will see SiSi a week before release or so. These two are the more complex and interesting features which will take some time go function

this will be wicked, i really really really REALLY hope that it has depth to in and of itself be a game that we can waste ours working on to get the most out of it....
i also hope they have graphics coming for the modules and it wont just be the lil planet icons, even small holographic views of the buildings or something,
WAIT
WAIT
OUTPUT : NANITE REPAIR PASTE? ONE OF TH EPRODUCTS IS NANITE REPAIR PASTE, finally!
But ya back to the fact they need to really work on making this a complex thing that we can spend time on :) I wouldnt mind orbiting a nullsec planet and working for an hour or 2 on my industrial plans on the planet to get 110% out of it... But for that its got to have depth and complexity to the buildings and upgrades, and it has got to look good while im doing it :D

yeah, once you set up the 'link' between the three buildings, you get the choice to upgrade the extractor for something like 50k isk, it isn't alot. im not sure if that goes up at all for any reason at a later date...
btw, has anyone managed to find water? Is it definitely bugged to have 0% yield wherever?

I don't think it's a bug. Water, Carbon, and Silicon are all "0" yield, even though they have cycle times and durations which implies they had a value, but it's being arbitrarily set to 0 in this build.

There will be a Civ 5.x mod that will be a plug-in/interaction with Eve. Like how Dust 514 is. It'll be interesting how they handle the integration from turn-based to real-time.

Well first off, it is just the backbone for their proposed concept design, it'll take a while to finalise it, and they did say in the blog that its got changes to be made.
and no, the planets sexy effects won't change, you can only see these icons on the planets when you're in planet mode (right click the planet to do this) and you cannot see anyone elses buildings, as of yet...

Ehhh. What happened to all the sexy ideas that were put about at fanfest?
Im guessing this is some kind of early beta this minimal style input. I was expecting districts to look more like countries and borders than a few dots on the map.
It's a long way of yet at least...
The bottom line is that I have found these annoying signatures are actually quite funny. |

As predicted in the Dev Blog, putting this out in the Alpha stage is going to draw out a host of people complaining about how unfinished it looks.
The basis of the underlying mechanics have just been put in place. None of the eye candy, the intermediate or advanced features, nor any kind of polishing have been put in place as of yet.
Get a grip.

2) is there any apparent limit on how many planets one player can control?
3) i notice once of those systems in the ss is a 0.5, so this is high sec sovereign space also?

PLACE HOLDER GRAPHICS, THEY SAID IT 50 TIMES, THIS IS JUST TO TEST THE PRELIMINARY CONCEPT
Hell theirs no borders, theirs no impact, theirs no cost, their no graphics, theirs only a few minerals and products, theirs planetary bikes with no usage yet, as you can see ITS NOT EVEN BEGUN YET.
I still think they need to set a max range of the links, or else you will have people with extractors and links circling the entire planet.
how do you impact neighbors if you cant see them and if 10000000 people can be on a planet yet all of them can rule the entire planet... something seems wrong here

Providing you have ATI EyeFinity (and as a result atleast 1 DisplayPort screen or active converter), nVidia Surround (coming with the new 400 series, SLI only) or a Matrox Tripplehead2Go, you should be able to create a single "virtual" panel with all 3 panels either in Landscape or in Portrait mode.

Damn.... I've got two nVidia GTX cards (not in SLI). I wish nvidia made something like eyefinity. I tried getting softth to work but it doesn't like EVE + win7
Ahh well, back to planets!!
Are we going to see districts, countries, regions, etc? What about our neighbors? Will we see our neighbors?

Off topic: You are quite stupid
On topic: Looks great, I look forward to future devlopement! I'm also looking forward to training exotic dancers and launching them into space.
Speaking of launching things into space, can the planetary launch cans be scanned down and picked up by anyone, or is the person who launched them the only one that can get at them?

You guys need to take this all with a grain of salt.. stuff that is missing right now, that you are complaining about (eve-ish graphics, product lines, population, etc) are not there because all they've done so far is build the underlying framework. Now that they have the PINs, Links, and Routes working, it's less of a matter to add varried types of said PINs, and add modifiers to those PINs (such as population effects, and such). Also, it's obvious the graphics dept hasn't really even touched what's on SiSi currently, as they are even stealing already made icons from other ingame graphics for now. Personally, I'm pretty impressed they let this level of work out the door, which implies they really are trying to keep the player bas in the loop on this one. There's a thread in the Test Server Feedback forum on this that has had quite a bit of DEV interaction already.

I realize it's a very early framework. I'm just a little worried that based on the DevBlogs, it sounds like the implementation is going to be a lot different from what they described at FanFest. In the DevBlogs, they haven't mentioned anything other than extracting resources, processing resources, and shooting them into space. That's what's got me worried, not the state of PI currently on Singularity.
There have been some things that were talked about at FanFest for other expansions that never came out, so I'm just slightly worried that all the in-depth stuff like population management will be dropped because it was found to be over-ambitious.
I'm sure it'll be improved vastly by the time it launches--I just hope that a major part of it isn't dropped by then.

Damn.... I've got two nVidia GTX cards (not in SLI). I wish nvidia made something like eyefinity. I tried getting softth to work but it doesn't like EVE + win7
Ahh well, back to planets!!
Are we going to see districts, countries, regions, etc? What about our neighbors? Will we see our neighbors?
Well technically nVidia Surround is their answer to EYEfinity (and it supports 3D display too), but because the new 400 series GTX cards will still only have 2 graphics ports each you'll need 2 cards in SLI to get the 3 ports needed for a triple screen layout.
Not that EYEfinity doesn't have it's problems, each 5000 series card has 4 video outputs, but you can only use 3 at a time, and 1 of those 3 needs to be the DisplayPort because the cards only have 2 clock-pulse generators each (which sync the screen with the card, DP doesn't need this).
The new EYEfinity6 model 5000 cards coming later this year will have 6 video outputs each, and support a maximum of 6 screens, but they only have DisplayPorts, no DVI, no HDMI.

How did the OP get such an awesome screen res :o!
Ps. The planetary interaction looks pretty neat actually.
Its two 1920X1024s in dualscreen setup.
I myself have 2X 1600x1200 because I prefer more space in the vertical
You're wrong :) Its a triplehead setup with 3 1280x1024 monitors. |

Ehhh. What happened to all the sexy ideas that were put about at fanfest?
Either the people doing planetary interaction didn't watch that presentation or they decided to drop it at the last minute because they thought it was too ambitious. I'm hoping that I'm wrong and that at least some of that will be in, but considering there are about two months left until launch and currently it's pretty much moon mining with a different look and lower barrier to entry, I'm not optimistic about the SimCity/Civilization-feeling strategic mini-game that was described at FanFest actually coming out in Tyrannis.
If it has been dropped from Tyrannis release, I hope it's at least going to be added later. If it's just connecting dots to other dots and getting some items out of it, it's going to be a very lackluster expansion. It's hard to be the tyrant or ruler implied in the name "Tyrannis" when you only have dots and lines to work with.
I love having two expansions a year, but if they're getting big and ambitious enough to where there's not enough time to implement what is planned, I'd rather them come out yearly, but complete and fully realized. Or maybe a smallish polish-and-bugfix expansion then a major one that adds a whole new type of gameplay per year. |
