A small ting. For several orbits then below Asteroids the first "ore" listed is often mapCommon Ore site
Ravien told me, when I reported that too, that it is a place Holder for special Mining coming with A12.. Found his posting on the matter-> https://empyriononline.com/threads/...ive-random-scenario.38334/page-41#post-380933
@Germanicus I added the standard dead planets as a starting option too for alpha 12. Though you only start with some emergency rations so good luck.
Haha!...Yeah, I am not to far away from that, age wise. But... "We would be honored if you would join us!"
What do you all think of starting planet difficulty categories and colors like this: Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard, Ultra. This is what will show up on the starting planet selection screen. Things like the current Dead planet and the new Rogue planet will be Very Hard, while the new pitch black Rogue starter will be Ultra. Ultra will be reserved for those planets that are absolutely brutal. So here's what I have so far: Easy: Beginner, Temperate, Temperate2, Temperate3 Medium: Arid, Swamp, Odd Temperate Hard: Ocean, Snow Dwarf, Alien Very Hard: Dead, Wasteland, Rogue Ultra: Dark Rogue. *Some might be moved around a bit based on tweaks and survival testing.
Oh look! right now I would be Green! With your Eden I would have god mode my way in! Never knew you can get winded playing a game.
That is perfect. Love the coloring too - that neon purple grabs you. wait....! ALIEN?! Oh wow! Back... a long time ago when they had the old rotation of planets(Akua, Omicron, etc.) the developers briefly added Masperon(the only alien planet at the time) as a starter and while very challenging, I played the bejesus out of it and found the experience very rewarding. However, despite my excitement, as I am typing I am further reflecting that I am so very looking forward to the Dark Rogue. <- Phenomenal name too.
I've seen a lot of people asking for an alien planet start because they miss the old Masperon. Right now it's just a standard alien planet with purple fog and starter ores. I might do some further changes to it later.
7 steps to die, the Insane difficulty? A barren snow-lava planet with only some small pockets of oasis's. Just that PVs and troops and drones homing in all the time. Zirax high level bases and towers all over, guarding the ore deposits. EDIT: Of course all the dangerous critters all over too, hives in between the POIs.
Another issue with the scenario is that many POIs do not pop up on radar/map and/or have to be very close before becomes detected. Unless intended it should be some detection settings that might be checked.
