Moons and game difficult

[Byakuren]

Whats the difference between moons, and what affects the differents difficults in game?
Theres not clear information in game.
I have played in concord and jason moons (i think thats their name in english) and in hard difficult and did not see any changes only maybe bugs not attacking base every 5 days or so.

I hope anyone knows the settigs for the moons and the difficults in game.

Chaos is supposed to make waves bigger, I think? More aggressive minions, maybe. Most people seem to think it's the hardest.

I might remember this wrong, but I think I saw a post a while ago where an 'official' mentioned that Chaos was not the hardest, but Nyx, I think?

But not sure. Only tried Concordia myself, and easy difficulty!

Concordia has had many night attacks in my games, btw.

With what you said guys i know wich moon pick, but what about difficult, does it affect something? or only initial resources?

Hi Byakuren!

The difficulty and the moons affect a variety of things, and work together in different ways.

The greater the difficulty, the less starting resources you have when you first land, there's less time between each attack, there could be a greater number of attacking creatures, and you'll generally experience more setbacks.

As for the moons, they generally affect the frequency and size of a creature attack:

• Concordia is the standard moon and won't have an impact on things.
  
• Jason increases the difficulty of the creature attacks, but gives you more time between each attack to prepare for the next one
  
• Nyx causes creature attacks to happen more frequently during the night
  
• Chaos mixes up the size of the creature attacks, as well as which creatures are in an attacking group

Hope that helped clear things up!

Chaos: more frequent attacks, larger attack base, at time attacks are scaled up from the attack base , more weather events. Hardest moon

Jason: Fewer attacks than Chaos, larger attack base, guessing a litte more weather events. hard moon

Nyx: fewer attacks, attacks in the dark, not sure about weather, likely to be same as concordia. fairly hard moon

Concordia, fewer attacks, lower attack base, less weather events.
Standard moon.

Thx for the response guys.
One last question, im playing right now on hard + Concordia Moon, and have noticed that some times i get attacked every 5-7 days, but some times enemies attack every 2-3 days, is that normal?

I've also only played on Concordia, and sometimes there were 2-3 days between attacks, and sometimes it took over 3 weeks before the next (at least once that I remember). I was playing on easy, though, if that affects frequency.

I remembered this wrong, after reading Jens Erik's post and others Also makes sense since Chaos is needed for that achievement for playing on highest difficulty (right?).
