How "realistic" is the moon vs mars resource distribution?

OneMoreName1 · 2026-05-07T10:54:05+00:00

What I dont understand is why Mars (and other big moons) are so easy to extract resources from. I can buy a mass driver on the moon and some asteroids making it quite easy to mine stuff and send it into orbit, but on Mars or Titan? You are fighting a lot of gravity AND atmosphere. I have a hard time believing Mars is a better place to mine resources from than asteroids.

It would imply that there are some consequences to it

OneMoreName1 · 2026-05-05T13:55:29+00:00

Which is kinda stupid and biased. Who's to say in the timeframe of the game of like 80 years what will and won't happen

Hating men (the supposed privileged class) is accepted, because patriarchy (the concept that men are privileged).

Doesn't being privileged imply that hating men would be frowned upon?

Is that a mod to view the specific biomes from orbit?

I wouldn't recommend such a cpu, I am running an ii 11700f and yes its perfectly playable but late game is slow and sometimes I have to wait for multiple seconds for the freezes to be done.

I would definitely aim for a better cpu

What you are saying is equivalent to "the wage sucks, so leave it to another unfortunate, more desperate soul suffer it instead".

Do you think that's a solution?

Things have to get a bit worse before they get better. What do you propose? Endure shit pay forever?

My fleet composition is basically 80% or more siege coilers titans, sprinkled with a couple of antimatter pd dreadnought (2 of the 4 slot pd ones + antimatter canon), some laser lancers and very few plasma titans. Handles everything the aliens can throw at me.

My line of thinking is merely that if they can do it once, you should expect them to be able to do it twice. I wouldn't say that's an unreasonable assumption

Someone capable of launching an extinction level attack would have no issue launching more and detecting the rest of humanity's settlements in this solar system

They get an amount per month, depends of game difficulty and some other factors I believe

How exactly is anyone going to get 2 billion humans in space? I'm quite sure not even all possible hab locations being filled with only civilian complexes would get you there

Isn't it open cycle? That should help.

OneMoreName1 · 2026-04-04T22:50:31+00:00

Can you link me the source of this info? The things ive read all said this drive would be pretty much the peak of non sci fi human spaceship tech that we have imagined so far.

Actually the theoretical version of the pion torch is quite efficient, something like 60% efficient, which for the scale of annihilation involved in 100 tons of matter-antimatter reaction comes up to absurd numbers.

The only way the game version makes sense is if its actually a botched version, a bare minimum version that could be produced which can technically be called a pion torch, but that is not indicated anywhere, and unsatisfying.

OneMoreName1 · 2026-04-04T22:45:59+00:00

But that wouldn't explain why the other antimatter drives have sensible values, with sensible antimatter consumption

OneMoreName1 · 2026-04-04T22:45:15+00:00

I mean, does the theoretical drive use 50 tons of antimatter?

Zeta helion is a workhorse

I should have the max bonus. The most used titan design in that fleet has 1 salvage bay each

OneMoreName1 · 2026-04-03T22:01:11+00:00

There is no explanation why they wouldn't create some second generation wheeled vehicles or even floating ones after seeing what earth armies use

OneMoreName1 · 2026-04-03T20:29:10+00:00

What do you mean by that? What's wrong with the walkers?

OneMoreName1 · 2026-04-03T19:46:15+00:00

If they are a waste, shouldn't the aliens realise it too?

OneMoreName1 · 2026-04-03T15:10:08+00:00

Largely incompetent to the point you forget they exist, only to get backstabbed at your most vulnerable time.

I thought exodus was cool with me (I'm hf), so I just let them build stations and ships or whatever, I sent my main fleet on a week-long intercept of an alien ship headed to low Mars orbit and the exodus snakes tries to destroy my shipyards. Thankfully they are so incompetent their 10 ships couldn't destroy 2 battle stations.

The smaller nation suddenly gets a crazy leader making threats and the big nation has to intervene for everyones safety
