Reply to Would love to see a resource-based-economy (RBE) in the game in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to try and create a mod for this if possible. I've got some experience in programing, we'll see if I can pull it off. One comment about RBE: There is no bartering or required work assignments. Both of those are forms of money in a sense (RBE sees bartering and money as the same thing and pushes to eliminate both). The idea is that (1) everything is so abundant thanks to tech that the mechanisms to deal with scarcity (barter, coins

Would love to see a resource-based-economy (RBE) in the game in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

For those not familiar with the concept, resource based economy (RBE) advocates argue that money is not a true resource and should be eliminated from a rational society. For example, during the recession on earth in the 1920s, factories where still in place, as were able-bodied trained workers, and the natural resources such as metal/coal. An alien civilization not familiar with the concept of money and observing us during the great depression would have been puzzled by our behavior w

Yea, why do factories or labs have to allways be partially empty? Why can't I keep them both full if I have the money? This part of the game setup is ilogical.

Mine is working too. It takes a few days if you run into problems and that is why it would be nice it there were a 1 week grace period.

check the threads from a few months back. i recall reading a fair bit of analysis explaining this phenomenon in an effort to split the sliders apart. the end result was that its not gonna happen as it would change the game too much. check it out, youll see. Do you have a link to the discussion? Thanks.

Brilliant! ( Slider 1; "Research Funding" Slider 2; "Manufacturing Funding" Slider 3; "Manufacturing Focus". It would look different than the first two sliders to remind people that they are distributing the manufacturing points they funded in slider 2 between military and social projects. For exa

Reply to A Closer Look At the Economic Sliders in Economics GalCiv2 Forums

Now I understand why I could not understand the sliding bars when I started playing the game. The copuling between labs and factories via the sliding bars is very obscure. One comment on the main text; Waste is not minimized by setting P = F. You minize it by setting P = 1 if F > 1 - F and P = 0 if F < 1-F. If F = 1-F = 0.5, then waste is constant at 0.5 independently of where the P slider bar is. Also, for a given plate's F ratio, the minimum and maximun waste values obtained by adj

I never got an answer to the activation email. It has been two days.

Reply to by email activation in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I did not get an answer to my activation email either. It was not sent filtered out because yahoo does not block emails, it puts them in the junk folder. Also, no answer from my email to support. I have a computer from work wich has a pre-installed firewall I would rather not touch. Fortunately, the game eventually activated itself automatically after I spent several hours fighting with the firewall. I only did this out of desperation. I changed the firewall back as best I
