Reply to GalCiv IV: Supernova - First 10 Turns, May 2023 in GalCiv IV Dev Journals GalCiv4 Forums

The suggested tool tips for stars have some problems. The minor problem is that one star is called violet, then it is called purple. Nit-pickin', but I couldn't help myself. The major problem is that resources in Supernova aren't restricted like they are in the base game. I've seen yellow stars with durantium or promethion or both or nothing. I've seen purple stars with durantium or promethion or both or nothing. I've seen blue stars with

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="2" id="3887059"] Old-Spider - I have 12 citizens in the screen above and nothing I did allowed me to access the other citizens. [/quote] I'm sure I could scroll it once I got enough citizens to get a third row. Maybe something has changed in one of the updates. I'll have to play a game long enough to get more citizens. I think I'll need to generate a race that multiplies like the Mimot to speed up the process. </p

Reply to Supernova Planet management screen in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

It's not possible to scroll display of citizens when there are two rows. When there are enough citizens to get three rows, the display can be scrolled to see all of the citizens. I don't remember now if there is a scroll bar or if the display can be scrolled with the mouse wheel when the cursor is on the display of citizens. I just know that it does scroll once the number of rows reaches 3.

Reply to Constructor Range Question in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

The lines don't show up when a resource is in range. They show up when an unclaimed resource is in range. Has another race already claimed those resources? Your constructor doesn't have enought sensor range to see a starbase or two that may have already claimed them. The way to be sure is to put your cursor on the resources and see if a tool tip appears that a starbase has claimed them. You should do this before sending a constructor there.

Strange Conversation in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

I got the Arranged Marriage event. When I read it, I thought it was very strange. It mentioned that the family had a long tradition of arranged marriages, but they are also opposed to it. This made no sense to me. After reading it again and again, I realized that “they” was the use a plural, gender-neutral pronoun instead of a singular, gende

In the linked document I discuss the Festron and what they supposedly can and can't do. I also show some examples of them not following the "rules" of what they can and can't do. I'm playing as the Festron in my current game and found a violation of the "rules" as I understand them. The Yor and I started in the same sector. They surprised me by declaring war earlier than I expected. I'm not sure when or why, but the Onyx Hive joined in the war. We manag

Reply to Problems with PromethionBornAbility (Onyx Hive) in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

They can only be healed by their commander ships, which have an ability that uses promethion to heal all ships in a fleet. This lack of healing isn't as bad as it seems since all their ships have twice the hit points compared to ships of other races. This means they can survive longer than other ships. The Onyx Hive are silicon based, so their growth rate depends on the amount of promethion they have. This means a decision has to made on whether to use the promethion to repair ships o

Problems with PromethionBornAbility (Onyx Hive) in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

The PromethionBornAbility gives ships double the normal hit points but they don’t heal normally. Part of the problem is that the tech tree still has techs that claim to provide ship components and ships that heal ships. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/24/51/2451921/68316d6f-35c6-4ec9-94a3-230d9a479267.png" alt="" width="1920

Odd Situation with CrimelordAbility (Xeloxi) in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

Races with the CrimelordAbility, such as the Xeloxi, are natural criminals and prefer having more crime rather than less crime. However, their tech tree gives them access to the Ministry of Justice tech, which reduces crime. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/24/51/2451921/c704725e-9c50-4af3-9759-c7d59982b24f.png" alt="" width="1920"

They probably have a military starbase near the planets. All planets in the area of effect of a military starbase cannot be invaded. This applies to core worlds and colonies.
