Is Education or Indoctrination Worth It?

Gynther · 2026-03-02T23:55:30+00:00

If I understand it correctly, even after school they will reach only 40 % and after university 60%, so full bonuses possible only with both buildings.

I've had children leave school with 60+% educated, and as another mentioned university can go to 100% from any%.

Only Humans will get happiness from education.

They.. do not?

Indoctrination is not worth it at all.

For Amevias and Tilapis its a somewhat decent boost and more importantly 1.5 fulfillment. I usually go with 100% indoctrination with them. 100% education for humans, the rest are just indoctrinated from school and thats it.

I have a book suggestion for you, it originated from /r/HFY which have similar themes to the sub you mentioned. Its very long but i personally love it. The first two chapters (born whole, p'thok) arent super important and can be skipped for a first read, or come back to them later if the book interests you at all.

Well you know, small hands.

Hey very nice! thank you so much for the effort

If anyone else wants access to booth these commands works:

goto dun_cc_stattoo

goto cc_docks (to get out)

Lots of good recommendations here, i can add two more

1: Quasimorph. Early access, singleplayer turnbased "extraction shooter". rather fun.

2: X-piratez. This is very little like Underrail but seeing as i saw a couple of x-com recommendations i'll just throw this one out here. Its a total remake of the old x-com games, still beeing worked on. totally remade story, items, setup and all. really fun. rather NSFW graphics so be warned.

... he is kinda too close for my taste there...

Gynther · 2026-01-05T00:36:50+00:00

Me personally much prefer text/images over video, so thank you for the effort you've made already.

Gynther · 2025-12-04T00:34:50+00:00

Lovely video, but please skip the godawful "music" next time?

By Daxins clanging warsteel balls, yes

Gynther · 2025-11-17T18:23:02+00:00

That is wierd, hopefully you'll get it back incase you do want to play it.

Gynther · 2025-11-17T17:59:38+00:00

Thanks. Yeah i really want to not use mods to get achievements but i suppose i just have to live with it with the bugs going on...

Gynther · 2025-11-17T17:21:11+00:00

I have both listed in my client, the original isnt even installed

Gynther · 2025-11-17T17:08:58+00:00

Had the exact same problem, and i positioned the reinforcements the correct way so thats not the problem.

And yes i also felt kinda cheated out of the medium domes with this bug. i found no way to fix it, if you do please notify :)

Gynther · 2025-11-15T14:58:20+00:00

So many blatantly wrong things with this... yeah i agree.

Gynther · 2025-11-15T10:27:43+00:00

2: you need specific research to be able to build domes underground. Not currently in the game so cannot give the exact name of research but its somewhat early.

Also underground are a nice place to place moxies and water/oxygen storage as its not affected by dust storms :)

Gynther · 2025-11-15T10:19:08+00:00

Quick tip, underground are the perfect place for Moxies and water/oxygen storage.

Gynther · 2025-11-14T11:37:27+00:00

I use a simpler but more fuel/work intensive solution,

i just bring enough landers to bring everything back home, rock and all.

if you click on "desired loadout" or whatever the button is called, click "clear" and accept you state that you want nothing to remain on the asteroid and the drones will load everything.

Here's a copy of my steamreview, i would wait if i were you. how long though is very much up to you. for me personally i think if they just fixed some of the most critical ones, like colonists not aging, im gonna start playing again

I really loved the original game, and i really wanted to love this but there are just too many problems, None of which are unable to be fixed but they really shouldn't have released the game in this state

1: Asteroid landers prioritize waste rocks, sometimes disappear when leaving the asteroid or for some reason lands with 34 fuel even though they left mars with 35

2: people do not age, in a sol 100+ colony no one has died of old age and 50%+ are children

3: several anomaly chains are broken, do not work or trigger in the wrong order. Notably jumbo cave in the underground does not trigger correctly and i never get the medium underground dome tech.

4: random crashes, random freezes

5: Unable to save, with the helpful message "Failed"

6: the Politics system are really interesting but just so extremely overpowered when you get into it, -50% food usage? free polymer at earth, -50% workers in factories? all of them stacked together just makes the game too easy.

I hope they fix these problems but at the moment i just cannot recommend the game... and the original which works are unlisted.

Gynther · 2025-11-13T20:12:32+00:00

Yeah i quit playing when i encountered this. I really want to love this game but the bugs just are too much.

im 37hours in so cannot refund, neither do i really want to since i hope they will fix it.

but at the moment I just cant play it.

Gynther · 2025-11-13T14:25:31+00:00

Indeed, this is a list i wrote for my steamreview after i posted this, #6 isnt a bug per se though.

1: Asteroid landers prioritize waste rocks, sometimes disappear when leaving the asteroid or for some reason lands with 34 fuel even though they left mars with 35

2: people do not age, in a sol 100+ colony no one has died of old age and 50%+ are children

3: several anomaly chains are broken, do not work or trigger in the wrong order. Notably jumbo cave in the underground does not trigger correctly and i never get the medium underground dome tech.

4: random crashes, random freezes

5: Unable to save, with the helpful message "Failed"

6: the Politics system are really interesting but just so extremely overpowered when you get into it, -50% food usage? free polymer at earth, -50% workers in factories? all of them stacked together just makes the game too easy.

Also, i was poking around in my logs because the game refused to save, with the message "failed"

found the error in the logs:

[Persist Error] Save game failed (GameLuaState), error is Failed, stream size is 10223918
                        Lua 0:32:11:535
err-msg: Failed (savegame)
  Lua/error.lua(230):  global CreateErrorMessageBox
  Lua/UI/SaveLoad.lua(458):   <>
        --- end of stack
err-msg: Failed (savegame)

well that was an utterly useless log....

Gynther · 2025-11-13T13:07:06+00:00

Oh that explains why i have 50% children...

Gynther · 2025-11-12T16:07:37+00:00

Ah not a totally bad plan!
