    Thanks, I'm all about story and lore. Gives me a reason to explore.

    Go find the Progenitor missions. They'll keep you busy. Only found one POI that activates their mission that it exists lol.

    Question in another forum got me wondering.. can planets involve random weather types on a large scale?

    It just popped in my head how back before spaceflight, scientists observed Venus was covered in clouds. "Logically", because of this, they were sure that Venus was a hot, swampy planet where it constantly rained over the whole planet. Is something like that possible to throw into the random mix?

    The weather for a planet is set in the static.yaml file, which means while you can add different weather effects, they are fixed.
    You can of course include a lot of different weather effects but they will all have fixed durations and cooldowns.
    But you can just create a second variation of planet template where the weather is radically different.

    Polaris are still not "Friendly" at 5911/6000 Reputation Points. Is this normal?

    Started a new game on July 6th after the last patch.

    That is normal. You need to gain more reputation to become friendly with them.

    Thanks Raven. I've been away from Empyrion for years but I'm really enjoying the challenge in this scenario. I've tried Ocean and Ice planet starters. I'm not quite ready for Dark Rogue yet...

    Quick question @ravien_ff

    I've been playing Project Eden for about a week now and loving it. I've not played too many hours at all overall since the ground force attacks were implemented, so I was just curious if the attacks get any harder to beat.

    So far, I've got my base up with 5 turrets...1 flak, 2 cannon and 2 miniguns....and they've been able to fend off anything the Zirax can throw at me including downing the troop transport before it can even land. Do they get any tougher to beat the longer I stay in the same place? Or is it time for me to pick up roots and move into a more difficult solar system? And if I move now, will I continually have to move to more challenging areas until I find one where my turrets have a hard time keeping up?

    Guess I'm just trying to figure out where I want to settle my permanent home without rebuilding a half dozen times on the way.

    Thanks!

    If you want a hard base attack, set up on a hard difficulty planet in zirax space, inside zirax land territory, near the drone base.
    You'll be against a high-level, if not maximum, base attack every time.

    I believe that almost every Starter Planet is within Zirax Territory - at least the Medium to Ultra Hard Difficulty ones

    So they don't get progressively harder the longer you stay in one area then? Dang, ok...kinda takes the uncertainty out of knowing if your base will hold up or not. Was hoping that as each wave came, I may have to reinforce a little more.

    Thanks for the help!

    No, not progressively.
    The Level of the AI raises the closer you are coming to their Home World.
    Starter Planets, in Vanilla Games, have normally Level 1 or 2 while their Home World is Level 10

    Tchoaera in the Bonar system, SP. It is a blue triangle and the Description says there is a UCH Research ship there but when I go there it is empty space. Drove around pinging but never found anything. Intentional or bug?

    Faction territory affects what POIs you will find.

    Had to get off that alien starter planet, lord it was getting depressing. Not as bad as the dark rogue, but still. Took my wip SV and scouted out the ocean starter in a nearby system, took over an abandoned mine, then put together a slapdash CV and rolled the dice on losing everything. Everything is so much prettier here. NewGame_11-200715-2203_2020-07-17_22-37-41.png NewGame_11-200715-2203_2020-07-17_22-37-29.png

    Silly question... I've downloaded the files required for Reforged Eden to work with the 12.3 Experimental version but I've no clue where to put them. There's no Reforged Eden folder in Mods nor in Scenario so I can only guess Steam is putting this stuff elsewhere. I generally don't use Workshop mods in other games, preferring using the Nexus or direct Github downloads. Can someone advise please?

    Edit: I think I've found it. ...\SteamApps\workshop\content\383120z2154284616 - should have guess from the totally clear folder name.

    Scoob.

    Are those cannon turrets on the SV? I guess you modified the config.ecf file for that. That would be great for landing on the more hostile planets like the jungle one.

    Reforged Eden enables balanced use of Minigun Turrets and Plasma Turrets on SVs.

    Yep, playing through Reforged Eden. If I'm being honest about it, I haven't found the turrets to be all that useful on an SV. @Vermillion did a good job with the balancing of them. I'm missing out on several manual weapons when assaulting POI's, a slower ship because of the turret weight, and the turret targeting issues overall combine to give less firepower. If turret targeting gets fixed they might become more useful overall.
    That being said, it's nice to have the option, even if I don't ultimately leave them on there.
