Would be interesting if as the universe generates, systems have a chance to add or change modifiers to the modifiers from the parent system. Kind of like the tech tree where more specialized nodes appear as you explore it. Although this would need to be balanced so that the third system doesn't have...

Well there is a problem with you assessment in that, in its current iteration, LT is going to be single-player. There isn't a built-in distinction between a "worker" and a "commander", that was only shown that way in the recent Dev Update because Josh hasn't coded the NPCs to the point where they c...

I have been wondering why a player/npc/overlord will join a faction. With the distinction between workers/serfs and players/overlords, having a faction doesn't seem as useful since, at some point, one player could easily have enough workers to control multiple systems. The only major possibility tha...

While I was thinking about factions in regards to the concept of overlords/players, I asked the question why would you join a faction with another overlord, which I really didn't have an answer to, but it brought up this interesting idea of faction: Factions will be created and controlled by an over...

The whole crux of the problem is that they do not know in advance what a general-job employer would expect them to do, so there's no way in advance to compare it to what they would be doing themselves. I might very well be able to imagine how much I could expect to gain if I assumed I would be spen...

However, this problem only applies if agents demand a single, fixed wage rate. My proposal (hopefully) overcomes the problem Josh faces by allowing agents to demand different wages for different tasks , essentially eliminating the need for agents to know in advance what range of tasks they'd be get...

Yup, it's my own side project, which likely won't go anywhere, but it will teach me about assembly and executables, so oh well.

To address your original post, I would love to add in more random planet shapes, as well as random shaped moons, such as polyhedra, ship-ish shaped, or animal shaped. I would also love to add in minerals like this post . To address the idea of getting the source code, it all really depends on Josh's...

I agree that labor credits is a bit difficult to implement, but I was thinking about something similar. A labor market where you could put up your wages and what tasks you would or wouldn't do. When buying/hiring, all you would have to do is filter by the tasks you do or don't want and sort by price...

What if each universe's physics only affected that universe's matter? If so, mineral X from universe Y mighy have 20% more toughness, but takes three times longer to build anything out of it and requires very powerful construction drones. Or Mineral Z could be 20% lighter and 10% more brittle than t...

A dev video two days in the making
Seriously though, take as much as you need. I want this video to be as thorough and complete as possible

What I'd like to see is Josh giving a commander a task to build a station, ship, or something requiring a large amount of resources somewhere, then watching as the commander plans to buy some resources and send some ships to mine the rest. It would be cool to watch the actual building, but I'd rathe...

Blockades have to stop everything, or else there will be ways to get through. If I come across a blockade that lets you through if you don't have any weapons, I'd load my ships down with raw materials and factories and as soons as we're through hide out until I've rebuilt all my weapons. I think a g...

A tree less tech lab could just be a collection of blueprints where you select one and after a set amount of time a new blueprint is created based on the selected blueprint. The tree is still there, but it's pretty well hidden. Although, this would need a very good ui for selecting and managing blue...

Is there any actual value in having a visible tech tree? Is that not implicit in the collection of blueprints that you have? Isn't selection of a tech node to research the same as, for example, selection of a blueprint to continue researching? I believe there is great value in having at least the v...
