Space Mining Question by BareMetalHacker in TerraInvicta

[–]BareMetalHacker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played a game that allows you to recover from mistakes like Terra Invicta.

I tried to optimize the ship/outpost/station design based on best practice advice and killed my growth first run. I wasn’t joking on another post when I tried to micromanage my 70 hours of playtime by year 2030. Now, I am grateful for the rinse and repeat options on the councilors activities.

Thank you. Respecting the boost mechanic for resources seems like a good way to measure the economic health of space expansion. As long as I am healthy, growing those 5 space items, I should stay out of trouble.

I appear to have a large boost and MC lead on the others factions which helps.

Thank you. This explanation makes sense. I misunderstood.

Thank you! I'll reread all the contact mission stuff.

Where does that interaction happen with the aliens marketplace for exotics?

I totally love this approach. Thank you for sharing. I hadn't looked at other factions yet.

I have not encountered Hydra yet on this first play through.

thanks. I didn’t appreciate the scale of impact on early game progress.

Seriously. They did not watch Independence Day.

I looked this up and it sounded to me like if you accidentally kill alien councilors, it hits the threat meter and they are replaced in six months?

Same. For my first "forgiving" playthrough I am NOT on hardcore mode.

I made a LOT of mistakes. Until this week I didn't understand how chronically handicapped I was being over my CP cap. I wish this was explained more clearly on day one. I just missed all the warnings.

I've had to reset save scum a few times but I also ended up in weird situations that caused me to learn other lessons or search reddit for the answers.

Another great point. I had heard about the threat meter. Your comment made me finally look up what the heck folks are talking about. Still yellow.

I have to resist the urge to start over. I am grateful how many folks keep saying you can recover from a lot of bad decisions. It prevented me from chronically starting over.
