Complex SE5 manual (detailed)

I knkow there's a digital one on STEAM;
But no advanced tips and tricks

I fiddles with a few word docs myself for a friend, to give some tips and tricks but...

This could be a good project actually. Various Pro SE gamers could get together and and create a sort of Wiki-Strategy Guide for the newer players.

I believe a long while back there was something similar on a Forum, but I believe a more modifiable, portable version, could be a benefit.

Any thoughts?

There is already an SEV Wiki Section I am not sure if there is any thing on it on tactics etc but its worth a look if only to create a page to put these on.

that would be useful, i.e. I built an climate control facility and it says it's improving planetary conditions 3% per year, but I cannot notice any difference, is it good to built it everywhere or not? can't say... without a detailed manual you can't make an informed decision in such a complex game

Build them on any planet with a breathable atmosphere with less than optimal conditions and they will gradualy move those conditions towards optimal and there will be a notice on the turn bulitin to say when the con dition s are optimal. This will have a posative effect on population happiness along wi th the things that depend on population it and reproduction.

Once conditiona are optimal they will remain that way baring adverse events and you can decomission the facility.

thanks for the info, i didn't know it was only for breathable atmoshperes and I was making turns upon turns waiting to see some effect but nothing. However in my homeplanet were it was also built (conditions unpleasant) i couldn't see any difference in temperature etc and so I quit trying. Guess I just have to wait more then, it would help if the number-variable influencing conditions was somewhere to be found so you'd have a slight feedback on how you're doing.
thanks again anyway.

you can build them on planets with unbreathable atomspheres its just not worth the while doing so. Its beter to build an atmosphere converter first and once the atmosphere is breathable then worry about the conditions being less than optimal. Atmosphere converters are on the same tech further up

Build them first they are way before atmosphere conversion
So by the time you have atmosphere conversion tech the atmosphere is at optimum

A few tricks for new players...

Part of the problem of putting together a comprehensive tip/tricks doc is that this game is still developing and with mods the universe is pretty large. Each mod could have a separate guide.

Learning how different facilites work, and how best to use them is a good place to start though.

my suggestion is to try your hand at a little modding, and you'll start to learn how things work.

SEV, more than a feeling.

Count that "breathable atmosphere" only for my own races, or also for conquoered/assimilated/partnershiped races?

Although the manual does not contain formulas, you can still read these formulas in the game data itself. In SEV, both the Stock game and other mods store formulas for various abilities in plain text files. I often refer to these files myself (particularly components.txt) when trying to determine the effectiveness of a particular technology/component.

we have been ivaded by the seksoids or what?

seems so but dont expect them to stay long after the Sysop takes a look in his in box which should be bulging. As every one seems to have been reported so far.

@Grendal - thanks for the linky I'm looking for a few pro tips...

BTW what are seksoids?

at the time of the post there was a flood of anethical -to say the least- posts, probably auto generated by a spam-machine with "questionable" links and quotes.

I assumed that was a covert action of the seksoids
thankfuly the administrators cleared it up.
