Betharian Stone

[Owen (real)]

Is this resource still in the le guin patch? I havent been able to see for myself yet

Yes, it's still in the game. It's a planetary feature, you still need the tech and then you can build a power plant that uses it.

and its actually nice, producing 10 energy without any upkeep or need for workers.

The Betharian Power Plant now provides some Technician jobs on top of the passive Energy output.

I imagine they did this to tie in better with the Energy Grid/Nexus, which boosts Technician job output.

In last 4 games I've seen it spawn once.
Extremely low change, it seems.

Yeah it's like the alien zoo.

I think they kinda should up the chances there a bit.


Right now it's really just flavour, nothing more.

Yeah, from very nice and coveted tile it turned into that tiny bonus you don't even notice, considering most of the time it's not even around.

The game needs more unique planetary resources like bethstone, it makes your planets feel a little more unique, I mean there's only bethstone and alien pets right?

And technically the 3 for the special resources (gas well, crystal mine and mote harvesting).

But yeah, I agree.
