You're the best!

[BrickRoadDX]

No you!

[Therlun]

Thanks for your continued work on this.

[CalvinHobbes]

A new race, I wasn't expecting that. What great support for a great game.

[Dept. of Savings & Pwns]

Very interesting! Metal is a lot more valuable now

[CalvinHobbes]

I don't understand how the descripit boost depot card works.

It has a scavenge value but when I use a settler on the card the settler is used but I don't gain any resources.

[BrickRoadDX]

It shouldn't actually let you use colonists on it. It only works if the scavenge value already has hydrogen. What mode are you playing

I've only played a couple of games with the Void, it sounds like I still have things to learn. I don't even know what "mode" would mean in the context of Solar Settlers.

[BrickRoadDX]

I just mean like normal "Play" mode vs practice mode or Weekly challenge. So you got the decrepit boost depot through Mind Worms or something?

I was in normal play mode with the Void. I had two settlers on the Sentient Fungus so I got a gas card. The gas card I got was descripit boost depot, which did nothing when I used a single settler over it. The settler was inactivated but I didn't get any scavenge value.

[BrickRoadDX]

Yeah decrepit boost depot only has a passive ability that doesn't work if your scavenge value doesn't have any Hydrogen in it. Without another scavenge cards there is also no way to change it.

[cadfan17]

I think that the salvage card change might need some rethinking.

At first it was neat having the cards with salvage effects show, on them, what those effects are.

But if you draw them with a different race (from a redraw your hand effect, etc), then you’re looking at a card that, for all visible intents and purposes, says it will do something it does not do. And you can activate colonists on it like any other card with an activatable ability, and it does nothing.

[BrickRoadDX]

Yeah they definitely shouldn't be activatable. Might consider making them not available if you don't have Tarova as your homeworld

[darkeisbein]

I think the only potentially truly confusing card is decrepit boost depot. Maybe just fixing the bug that makes it clickable will be enough to stop most of the confusion? Even still there is a lot of additional information on boost depot since all you need to know is wether there is hydrogen in it or not. So it feels kinda cluttered.
