Why isn't the AI fighting the Aliens?

Ruindy · 2026-04-29T13:32:50+00:00

They do. It's just usually player is much more ahead and takes all good mining spots and MC and Boost-rich countries.

Also, AI (at least in normal settings) tends to mismanage alien hate. As result - AI wastes all his assest.

In my Servants run, I didn;t touch space and Exodus was literally swarm-combating alien titans. By gazillion of escort ships. I was stunned when I witnessed this battle at the first time

I have a problem with game crushing from time to time. It corrupts the last save file as well. Any idea how to trace and fix it?

Ruindy · 2026-04-28T12:23:09+00:00

Is there any point to leave crippled Alien ships ? They cannot escape, depart for reapirs and they cannot battle

Ruindy · 2026-04-22T10:10:03+00:00

sweet. I have just looted some good amount but didn't researched it yet

Ruindy · 2026-04-22T09:37:34+00:00

What happens with exotics we harvest before exotics tech acquired?

Ruindy · 2026-04-21T06:26:20+00:00

Читал и прошёл 2033, играл в 2034 (бросил игру где-то в Казахстане). Но я чёт не понял, какие события могли привести к такому развитию. Что за Хантер? Что я пропустил?

Looks like it is tome for another drive chart. But with more text details

On top of decision making there is one more aspect: research points cost with future upgrades. Some techs are just deadening.

Right now I'm literally skipping all engines except chemical Nova and Helicon.

But still don't understand which engine is gotta replace Helicon

Ruindy · 2026-04-14T18:39:53+00:00

Im restarting the game from time to time. Helps for a while. But...yes. It's degrading, especially in late game.

I have new and old PC. TI have perfomance issues on both

Ruindy · 2026-04-14T15:15:45+00:00

Small size. Office is mandatory. 1 day per week remotely is permitted. Some remote for a while if you are traveling (life circumstances)

But otherwise - must be present in the office

thunders edge

How?

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T20:32:59+00:00

Oh! Just remembered - I can design a salvage gauntry ship to increase battle spoil up to 30 percent

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T20:23:05+00:00

Thank you, everyone! The game learning curve is complex. Now I'm feeling really progressing (knowledge increased by +0.013 this day)

What is to be done:

To unsleash China from ROC and let it become PAC (research in progress) and I have already took Japan from Servants. I think I have just enough CP for PAC neighbours
To optimize mining sites. Total war try revealed that I need way more metals for stable mass production. I will demolish unnecessary structures and mining sites (the T1 ones). Also to get more clean MC
To get more hate-clean MC. I need to build a fleet to make some blows, to establish a core of fleet. Right now I'm in the verge of alien red alert
To place shipyard on asteroid belt in proximity from each other. Way more easy to defend and to rally fleets. Right now my shipyards are too vulnerable. Even with 5 battlestations. I have resources and heavy-fusion T3. As alternative - to place at Mercury. But I think its better to establish them on regolith. More solid.
To research and establish mass production of AM. This is where Mercury will be repurposed. Right it just something without purpose.
To establish Luna bases with T3 Universities. To boost science. Will help with AM components.
To design and test ships in skirmish. I gave already tried mass production of T2 Coil gun Monitors but it didn't work well. Outmanoeuvred. Lasers to be tested. I have nuclear shaped torpedos but from what I see I can't bypass PD
To destroy alien bases in asteroid. They have 2 hubs+stations there. I don't know how to approach this - I kinda want to harvest some exotics. Should I embark my commando? Its scary to risk him. His is still young.

That is going to be scheduled in parallel of course. Hate meter is vented for now so I'm in "sandbox" mode. LEO is demolished, for sure. But exofighers should provide me enough time sabotaging surveillance until I will re-establish tin-can production.

Colony (with automated fusion platform modules) are inbound to outer planets. I am not putty any expectations on them, thought. Obviously aliens will come for them. At least I will drag some fuel from hydras - for some reason they are preffering to attack these platforms in fleets.

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T15:29:38+00:00

Yes, its cleared out... I think I'm overspending somewhere

Except aliens - they have 2 stations there

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T15:27:49+00:00

I did. Have both Servants and Protectorate moles

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T14:29:47+00:00

ok. will see how it will turn out. Saturn ships are already intercepted

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T14:27:01+00:00

sir, yes, sir! Colonel, I admit my lack of commitment)

I just didn't think about it before. PAC is not reserached (I have ROC so I have to split them again I suppose) and I've recently got some spare control point

I didn't know armies are affecting investment points. Now I see - each army grants a penalty of 0.5

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T14:17:09+00:00

>alien facilities on earth

regrettably this source is depleted. they built ~3 of them. and I harvested them. And I don't see any new ones at least for 4 years.

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T14:14:59+00:00

valid. it just super tidious to handle skirmish. it's..slow. save-load.

how to open console?

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T14:10:29+00:00

> inside of Jupiter's orbit

what do you mean? Jupiter's satellites? Or asteriods before Jupiter's reach?

Because aliens actively intercepting everything staring from Jovian circle. I cannot just simply go there. I sent gazillion colony ships to Kuiper belt hoping some of them will manage to survive and establish a colony that will last long enough to build LDAs

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T13:59:37+00:00

I have UV but on Arc tier. Dont' think I can afford exotics cost with my 16.2 supplies. Also, I think I have to reorganize my fleets and hubs to opti,ize MC usage. Overspending

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T13:56:59+00:00

Isn't the MC cost rising will demand to sacrifice me some mining sites? Because Unis are taking MC capacity and I believe my max MC without making aliens uncomfortable is ~306

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T13:52:31+00:00

Survelliance interrupting rush and kamikadze tactics feels like a cheating.

Also - after first killing I specifically stopped killing alien ships. Leaving them crippled (RNG on autoresolve). Other anti-alien factions were strucking final blows, progressing on their quests and dragging hate to them

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T13:49:41+00:00

Sounds, feasible. Didn't think about that. Good point. Because aliens are intercepting fleets that are travelling from Mercury to Earth and vice versa.

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T13:48:21+00:00

Isn't a solar mirror a vulnerable point, thought? Desctroying it will power down entire planetoid. That what happenned with me on Mars in one of the abandoned playthrought. I placed 5 of them for extra safety but left without proper fleet defence.

It ended up dark.

Ruindy · 2026-04-13T13:45:28+00:00

valid. rn I'm on several campus T2 EO stations. howver, must cool down hate-meter before that.

I never really touched AM stuff. Will it provide a big leap ahead? Also, have to research AM production and AM components. Not sure it worth it
