loros fruit is one of three super luxury resources, they are VERY valuable both in money and in the bonus(es) they provide. there is only one source of each of those resources in the whole galaxy.
edit: duo to the loros fruit being one of the super luxury resources, this planet will be a prime target in later wars / skirmishes. you should protect it at all cost ;).
How should I manage the trade for the Loros fruit, this is one part of the game which is not so clear at the moment...Like I built a mine on the planet, and left it at that. Then later my advisor said it was valuable and how I should trade it with my neighboor, and I said sure...but will it be traded for its full value automatically? Or I should step in and do it manually?
Thank you!
oh and can the super laser destroy planets?
well you mine the loros fruit like any other resource, if its on the planet where you have a colony then it will get automatically mined, otehrwise build a mining station there. in the diplomacy screen, if you select another empire then at the bottom area of their detail screen should be a checkbox which enables trading this resource with them (should be enabled on default i think). if this is enabled then your traders will automatically trade this resource and ships docking at your spaceports will automatically buy the fruit if its in your storage. trading is afterall automated (you can only influence it by building mining stations and help the economy with more resource sources).
i don't think the super laser can destroy planets, for that you need a planet destroyer. but remember that a planet destroyer will like bombardment of a planet hurt your reputation badly, which influences how the other races behave towards you.
fyi, there are two kinds of ships you can find:
- fully intact ships, they only have to be explored / scanned by an explorer and then go into the control of the empire which found them (you, other empires or even pirates....imagine a pirate with a super laser :D).
- damaged ships which have to be repaired before able to be used, those ships are generally more powerful than the intact ones you will find.
the distant worlds and return of the shakturi storyline events bring in general elements to the game which are highly unbalanced, some players prefer to play without them but having some wild elements in the game makes for the most funniest scenarios in my book. if you have all storyline events enabled in your current game then you will have some nice treat later on (reapers from mass effect say hello :D).
and thanks for the information! This planet will be my lifeblood then, the golden heart of my empire.
Thanks be to the Gods no pirate found it, that would be game over pretty quickly hahaha
I could see how some people might dislike these unbalancing elements, I guess the options are what makes this a good game eh :D
I've had "abandoned" ships that I went to explore. As soon as my exploration ship got close, the abandoned ship woke up and was part of one of the pirate factions. The pirates didn't have any other ships in the system.
man can't wait to see the Shakturi! In the story I just got a warning saying not to do stuff with monoliths maybe....I am kind of nervous, but I got a super laser! no need to worry. :P
So there are ship graveyard eh, that will be interesting to see; so Tryone, the abandonned ship was like a trap laid by the pirate?
In another game I used a World Destroyer to blow up the Shakturi homeworld. Poetic justice.
In another game I invaded the Shakturi homeworld and so got their World Destroyers as well when their empire was defeated, so I had 5 of them.
In the AI Improvement Mod they are a researchable item (very late game) that any Insect Race can build.
In short, World Destroyers are cool!
You know oddly enough...
I had a planet with the Zentabia Fluid that was towards the lower left hand side of the map in a spiral galaxy...( More and denser planet clusters towards the center, fewer and more scattered around the edges )
And the planet was the complete opposite direction I was trying to grow...so I grabbed it and figured I'd be spending quite a bit of effort trying to protect it.
I was busy elsewhere and figured I'd give it some minimal protection for now and get the benefit for it as long as possible...I also though perhaps an Empire near it would try to steal it...which would open the door for me to grab a few of their planets.
But alas it seemed the game held little care for it...other than an occasional half hearted pirate attack, it was mostly left alone.
I had less defenses protecting it than worthless systems that happened to have a slightly useful resource.
So did you experience the other empires greatly wanting your super luxury resources?
Well I wont say the whole galaxy knew, but I know several pirate factions and at least 5 races knew.
Again it was around 25% through the game I claimed it, and the rest of the way I had maybe a pirate raid or two.
And the game took about 100 hours.
I could have just been doing too well, it wasnt using the 0% tax exploit, and I was #2 to the Ancient Guardians or #1 at the time.
So perhaps no one wanted to start anything...considering no one declared war the whole game thats probably the case.
well having a valuable resource like that puts this planet on a higher value than normal planets and thus making it a higher attack target in terms of priority. it also heavily depends on your game setup. if aggression level is normal then the game tends to be not so warmongering which you might know from other 4x games. i usually play on restless :).
