Miscellaneous Bugs And Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread Thread

That is confusing. Try taking it up with our host, forummotion.

Hey has bouyancy been covered? If anyone knows/remembers could you direct me to it?

@ Our Sandbox Man: Some e-mail hosts are not really compatible with forums, but those are generally (around here, at least) .edu or .gov or any other official-like school or work e-mail system. Other than that, check your spam box. The tastebud-less tell me that it's good with pineapple.

@ Kraeken: Maths were done about a reverse scuba-suit today (Water weight makes it impossible, BTW) and though I don't specifically remember the thread where buoyancy was located (Tech editor, maybe?) I know it was brought up. Sometime around the era of the great button debate over in the clothing section of the TE (if nobody but Tenebrarum remembers what I'm talking about, that's cool too.) Though, now that you've mentioned it, we may have to bring it up again, as that's the kind of math scio does for fun.

What is the percentage of finding life on other planets / moons? In Spore was extremely high and it was unrealistic.

You can read a little about it in the PPG thread, basically any planet or moon that can foster life will have a very good chance of doing so, but there will be few planets/moons that fulfill the requirements.

I have an another question: i wanted to know how will the introduction of the game, if there's a video like Spore with panspermia and if we will be choosing the planet on which to play or be completely random.

You'll be able to choose.

Hm. My new one is an Apple (@me.com) address, so it's not exactly obscure.
Not in my spam box either, I'd notice, but a good idea.

But I'd rather not go contacting the company, it is almost a guarantee I'll be waiting ages for an email that tells me to do either the very thing I've said I've done or to contact someone else about it...

I'll be leaving my old address as it is, anyway. I need it because Apple will only use an Apple email address as a secondary one for an Apple ID.
Plus I keep noticing I forgot to update it on various services, such as here.

How will the player interact with cities? Will it be like spore or Civilisation series? or more like sim city or the settlers?

I would like to know how many kinds of political and economic models are there.

Not all of the actual selectable options for these have been discussed, but you can see the areas and framework for it all here.

How will the nation stage play? I would assume it will be like Risk of EU3

And also will there be situational music?

Read the Wiki. Follow the links to Strategy Mode if you want more information. Then return with any questions.

Situation music is still a question. For example, if you lose a lot of battles in a war, will sad music play?

If our composers want to make some.

In Thrive will present the Earth or it's another galaxy?

Planets will generate randomly. That's really about all I can say about it.

I have a question about religion. The game divides religions in animist, polytheistic and monotheistic, but you can change the "rules" of these religions and changing form of the god and gods? Then create sculptures of gods? Such as (as our human civility ) Apollo, Osiris, Jesus ..

In the Tech Editor there is a tab for Decoration, this will allow you to make sculptures and the like. Tagging the TO as an "Idol" and as "Religious: [Religion]" will let the game know that in areas with that religion, people will start making these sculptures. You can also put the "Idols" into your "Temple of [Religion]" TOs.

As far as actually assigning a deity goes, i can't quite remember whether that is covered in the Nation Editor. If my memory serves me right, you can open up the Religion and view a short list of it's features. This list will include the name of the religion, the name of it's followers, the deity's name(s) and the emblem of the religion (this is mostly for gameplay purposes, so that religions are easily recognisable to the player, but makes sense in the game world also). With god tools you will be able to change these options at your will.

Thanks And flags ?

What about burrowing creatures like moles and amphisbaneans? How would they work? What soil could they dig in and what couldn't they? How would they see if they had no eyes? If you lived in a cave how would that work?

Maybe if you had antenna or were smelling you would see black and white vision with color trails to represent different things, like green for prey and red for predator?

Also some other stuff, could another species in your world evolve into a civilization? and how would you interact with that civilization if you were a creature? Would they pollute the oceans and would that affect you? Also, has anyone thought about making servers where people could play online with eachother? that would be cool. So those are just my ideas, I don't think they've been asked and sorry if they have.

Speaking of burrowing creatures, wouldn't it be possible for underwater civilizations to form if a fish was able to burrow into the ground, find a volcano, and use that to make tools?
