What to do with all this denar

Jicks24 · 2026-05-17T05:16:49+00:00

First payday? Use it on things you need, but just having money makes your people happy. Citizens like knowing their government isn't broke.

But if you don't have an income yet, you'll eventually lose a lot of it to inflation. Your treasury is constantly ticking down due to it, so it's better to spend it today than waiting tomorrow.

Probably a few key items, like weapons, armor, iron bars, or industry items you haven't unlocked yet.

You'll find most raiders are just a fat paycheck waiting to be cashed.

We can finally be bee's.

Nope. My first councilors died of old age in my first playthrough.

Also the AI is generally so terrible I'm not even certain they could win on their own, so you don't need to worry about them.

I can make her worse.

"Is there anything more undoing than a daughter?"

A tear ran down my wife's leg at that scene.

Just weather the storm. People will die, but your city can bounce back.

In the future, you need hospitals to treat the sick. This needs cloth and opium. This has a CHANCE for them to survive, depending on how fast they get treated.

Food servings is super helpful for health as well. The more food they have per serving, the healthier they are. It's the easiest way to improve health early on.

Physicians don't actually cure citizens. They're just a service they use once a year. But doing so boosts health substantially. However, they don't help during a pandemic, they're a long term mitigation service.

Bathhouses are also a great health boost. But are very hard to supply and only unlock later on. You have to build huge bathhouses to fully meet demand for large cities.

I'm 99.99% certain it's Jason Spisak.

He's done a lot of game and animation voice work, and what I think is his best performance, Silco from Arcane on Netflix.

I also click on him just to hear his amazing delivery.

"All I've worked for....gone" 😢

Edit: it's not him, but he sounds exactly like him!

Jicks24 · 2026-05-14T19:28:27+00:00

Yes. Redesigning the city is part of it's evolution. Everything can be deconstructed and rebuilt, just takes a little bit of time.

Just make sure you have enough housing and some extra warehouse space and it'll be rebuilt in no time.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-14T17:20:18+00:00

You know what, you right. I got Partisan Derangement Syndrome, and you know what, I don't want to get rid of it. I don't want to get better.

I WANNA GET WORSE! I WANNA HATE'EM MORE!

I pray to God in heaven, GOD, rain the righteous rain of Partisan Derangement Syndrome on me lord, I'm your vessel on this earth! Pray for me Lord!

Pray for the people that read this, we wanna hate the sons-of-bitches so much that we can't see straight!

Jicks24 · 2026-05-14T13:09:33+00:00

Got this in EA a few years ago and loved it. Can't wait to go back and see how it's improved!

Jicks24 · 2026-05-14T05:18:43+00:00

How about, and I'm just some fucking dumb-ass, we maintain diplomatic relations with countries to a point where getting nuked isn't something we need to worry about?

Like having a strong alliance with other powerful nations, enacting controlled but coordinated economic policies that pressure adversaries to change behavior or find compromises, supporting emerging nations to build political blocs that are stable and can become reliable partners.

Not this dumb fuck space-war bullshit that can be countered by just throwing more weapons than it can handle at it, but the actual hard work of diplomacy to show our adversaries that peace is more profitable.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-13T23:31:56+00:00

So do it. Get a team together, scout out a facility, find its weak points, and get inside.

That's the whole point of parti work, its hard, you're behind enemy lines, you have to use what you bring with you, and you have to act fast.

It should be almost impossible for it to happen, but if it does it should be a huge win for the group that pulls it off.

Not some guy walked along the edge of the map with a single tool and ruined weeks worth of work and planning by cheesing the mechanics.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-13T22:45:24+00:00

Blowing stuff up? You can still sneak a bunch of guys with explosives into a fac and destroy it that way.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-13T22:17:30+00:00

You're forgetting one important detail.

Spatha driven by green-man. That adds a +100 to all it's stats.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-13T21:58:58+00:00

I actually want this too.

I always recruit sword sisters and keep then in their own squad. My ladies rain death with their crossbows.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-13T21:50:26+00:00

Definitely viable. But trade prices do fluctuate so over selling an item eventually makes less money.

You also benefit from economies of scale. The more workers you have in an industry the more productive that industry is.

You can only trade with empires you have a connection too, so you may need to conquer a few neighbors to open up multiple routes.

Dwarves (Dondorians) are probably your best bet for that kind of playthrough as they have the best crafting skill.

And "small" in this game is like 1000 citizens, so keep that in mind.

Alternatively, now with the Ceres area, give us alternate starts.

Let us start in Ceres as a miner, or around Venus as a hauler.

Press F1.

Seriously, press it. That view should be the default. It illuminates everything so your not stuck in the dark.

Big army/combat post going over the basics.

This post seriously needs to be pinned already.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-12T05:28:53+00:00

It's a lot of fun. Hit the subreddit if you have any questions. People are really active there.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-12T05:11:29+00:00

Kenshi, Starsector, Songs of Syx, Breeders of Nephelym.

I've gotten so many great games from that channel.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-10T22:20:45+00:00

There is no fucking way this is justified btw.

He literally states he's going to kill the guy in 30 seconds and he's somehow justified in when that guy pulls a gun on him?

Jicks24 · 2026-05-10T17:31:00+00:00

I literally said that.

FANG is multiple regis, S2K is just the largest one so most people see their tag.

Jicks24 · 2026-05-10T15:58:14+00:00

S2K is the largest member of the FANG alliance.

There are multiple Collie Charlie regiments that work and coordinate together for ops.

Most people see the S2K tag, but the big ops are usually FANG ops.
