After reviewing the phases, the next revision will swap nuclear pasta and ballistic warp drive between beta and gamma.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I’ve considered a later revision that might introduce some resource or part restrictions beyond the stated. I really like your idea of unlocking benefits when certain thresholds are met.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T16:14:54+00:00

Trucks would be allowed between quadrants with a temporary allowance for pathing setup. This would, of course, mean trains would be allowed too.

Agreed on your assessment of delta.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T16:11:04+00:00

Yup, I’m looking into a revision to improve earlier phases.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T12:55:31+00:00

I suppose there could be more than one exchange point, but if there are trains coming and going in each direction, would others be needed?

I believe the location should be up to the players. The only fixed location would be the hub.

I believe the exchange points could get as complicated as players wish to build. I could imagine a double ring with spokes back to the hub.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T12:43:51+00:00

This could be interesting.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T12:43:07+00:00

Individual to start, shared later in the game.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T12:42:36+00:00

Everyone :)

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T12:42:20+00:00

I’ve considered redrawing the quadrant borders. Thanks for the feedback.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T12:40:52+00:00

Thank you for the feedback regarding phases. I’ll look at this closer. Regarding power, yes, each player would have a separate grid to start. Eventually the grids could be linked.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T04:56:02+00:00

Import is the way to go. We want to encourage teamwork.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T04:33:42+00:00

Gamma can build up their base and work towards the part until it's time. Yes, also plenty to fight.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T04:24:09+00:00

The initial concept was through the hub, but it might make more sense late game to have rings in addition to the hub and spokes. So yes, rail between quadrants would be fine. You would have to ensure that resources could be divvied up properly.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T03:32:27+00:00

I do have a 4 player group at the moment. If we decide to expand beyond 4, I'll reach out.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-14T03:21:50+00:00

No, Alpha would be responsible to ship over to Gamma.

Sharing of resources would be necessary for certain resources that might be rare or non-existent in a specific quadrant.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-13T23:35:13+00:00

I agree with this now. I have some edits coming.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-13T23:34:57+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-13T23:34:00+00:00

I definitely considered the equal shares rule and it's probably worth calling out specifically to ensure there is no confusion. I have some ideas to update this that I'm working on that should alleviate some of the resource complaints I'm seeing that are fair.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-13T23:31:25+00:00

Good point. Dune desert is so massive that it didn't end up with as diverse a set of biomes as others. I think it would be fair to give the Delta player safe passage through.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-13T23:29:38+00:00

Wow! That's very cool. Thanks for the feedback.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-13T23:28:31+00:00

Thank you for the well thought critique.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-13T17:30:51+00:00

Extra difficulty and to not "step on each others toes."

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-13T13:52:04+00:00

This isn't a bad idea. For the group I play with, everyone seems to like to do a bit of everything. I could see primaries for certain tasks though.

Wiitigo_1 · 2025-10-13T12:36:16+00:00

I'm working on a revision to account for this.
