Planet Screen

whatabout's Photo whatabout 15 Feb 2016

I have a question regarding the planet screen in this game. In Moo 2, when you went to the planet screen, where you could manage the specialisations of your colonists and enter your build queue, there was a background of your planet where you could see all the buildings you had constructed. Is this going to be present in this game? I always felt like this feature added a lot of immersion to the game being that you can physically see the development of your planet and you can actually see the difference between a new, underdeveloped colony with 5 buildings, versus an industrial megalopolis with 30+ buildings. Will this feature be integrated into this game?

Hi Whatabout,

 

in the Game there will be something similar like this but its on a bigger scale since you have much more buildings you can build after you researched them. I made 2 Screenshots for you so you can take a look:

 

The first one is the generel overview. You might notice the blue button "Manage Structures".

 

 

 

When you click on Manage Structures you will see this follow up Screen:

 

 

In this screen you can turn the Globe 360 Degrees to access all buildings on it and click on the buildings to scrap them. You also get a Description of the Building Cost and the Maintenance and what the building does.

 

I hope these screens answer your question. :)

All the 3D stuff is fine, but the "structures" screen should be very easy to see at a glance, plus clicking an additional button to see structures seems silly. MOO2 and Galactic Civilizations has this done much better, as soon as you select a colony you immediately see the structures on the planet. You show the planet on the right side of the screen anyway.

I find it this way much better. I don't really have to check often on the Buildings on the Planet anyway. So i don't mind the extra Button. And honestly if this is a no go for you you are really missing out on a great Game :) And if you want to check out a Building and what it does, you will be faster checking the description in the Tech Tree where you researched it anyway

When you have many colonies it is very useful to see buildings already on them at a glance. It doesn't have to look pretty or realistic.

 

It would also be very nice if build ("+" sign) button wouldn't hide the current build queue.

I agree with zheega. I found this actual planet view nice but it isn't realy nessesary. I addition to this planet view a complete list of buildings would be nice where you can select what to scrap if needed.
