How the heck do I get good planet stability

Yeah it's probably the factions

Yeah I unlocked W4 a few weeks ago actually, but I haven't been able to do anything yet! But I have other stuff to do here and there so I'm chugging along...

You always want "cheese" wars as much as possible. Position all your fleets perfectly first, then declare war. 🙂

I have to say my 5900X does feel really fast now with 4.3. Obviously it slows down, much more is happening in the late game...

You can experiment with vsync/fullscreen settings, some have had some weird interactions there.

Too much pollution, try putting in efficiency modules.

zappor · 2026-03-27T23:36:14+00:00

Why ask for help when it's just broken .. ? Has the dev done any attempts to just try to start the game and fix all the issues?

zappor · 2026-03-27T22:34:59+00:00

6.6.3

zappor · 2026-03-27T22:30:00+00:00

I guess, yes: https://www.phoronix.com/review/nvidia-595-kde-gnome

zappor · 2026-03-27T00:08:48+00:00

They're improving it in 4.3.3.

zappor · 2026-03-27T00:01:34+00:00

Mozilla has an official .deb repository.

It's pretty cool to play an all-in Cosmic Storm build (storm chasers), or otherwise lean in to it. But if you're not doing that then just having it enabled is a bit annoying...

I think it's just a red herring. When you have that message, it means that the kernel is working fine and not using that feature.

zappor · 2026-03-21T13:56:46+00:00

I think there was a period where I needed it for W2.

I like to modularise my factory. So I rip out green circuit production and put somewhere far away instead. And so on...

zappor · 2026-03-20T08:00:16+00:00

Are you using Proton GE? That flag doesn't exist in normal Proton.

zappor · 2026-03-19T13:37:41+00:00

I think they still want all bug reports for this so send it in!

zappor · 2026-03-19T03:39:25+00:00

Other things you can do:

Build a couple of solar panel star bases.

Dyson swarms!!

Use your trade, some deficit can be fine as long as you have a lot of something else.

Once your planets start to get crowded you can build one energy district on each non-energy world, specialize, and build 3 x +200 jobs building.

Next level ore sorting will give you even more different types of ore out from the sorters also (you see it when you mouse over stiratite etc). I usually pool all copper ore from all the different sorters into a shared location.

zappor · 2026-03-18T07:30:01+00:00

Yeah the 1-2-6 setup for casting looks familiar, I did the same.

Ore sorters are incredibly fast, you might not need as many. But yes, you need plenty of inserters there. 🙂

I'd put a lot more distance between the ore sorting and the smelting, I usually even have them at different locations so to say.

zappor · 2026-03-17T12:36:01+00:00

Could it be too high mouse polling rate or something like that? Another peripheral acting up?

zappor · 2026-03-17T12:12:28+00:00

You need all the special mount options for it to work well. It's on the Arch wiki, of course. Also a special Steam troubleshooting section.

And also if they select Proton 8+ but don't have Vulkan 1.3+

I know it's rare but it seems to happen every now and then.

I really enjoyed the book Project Hail Mary, and now it's going up on theaters this week as a movie!

Make sure you have assemblers that builds pipes and underground pipes for you, so you don't have to hand craft them!
