Default Help on a construction issue....

Hi all, how's things?

Could you give me some advice on how to properly construct the sphere and ring worlds. How do you get all the components necessary into the same location?

Thanks

Hi,
and welcome. There are many topics that deal with ringworlds and sphereworlds. Here are three of them:
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/For...ML/002762.html
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/For...ML/000774.html
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/For...ML/002063.html

Hope that helps. If not, just do a search or ask again.

Rollo

I am new to the game as well, and discovered, based upon my own experience, that you have to build a ship that has a shipyard on it. Then move that ship to the location that you have choosen to be target sight.

I am playing the game right now, night off, and finding it to be rather adictive. I am playing it on my brothers PC, (I am staying at his house while he is in the hospital) and from what I have gathered, you have to design large bases that can hold the needed components and the needed basics like a computer or something.

Once your spaceyard ship reaches your target location, you have it build these bases. When you reach the needed number of components to construct the world, something on the order of 200 turns you tell the main peace to construct the world.

From what I have seen so far, it is a costly endevor, and you need to have a lot of resources before you start this process.

I hope that helps, and if I am wrong at any point, I am sure someone with more knowledge will step in and give better advice and instruction.

Thanks for the help, i knew it had to be something like building lots of starbases but i thought it would have been easier to do somehow!!!

With 11 Space Yard III Ships, you can build a sphereworld in 6 years (60 turns) -- #1 builds a sphereworld generator (5.5 years) and #2-#10 each build a cable starbase and a plate base (each takes 3 years).

Then you select the SWG base, then Stellar Manipulation, and then build the Sphereworld.

It's meant to be nontrivial in time and resources -- a Sphereworld starts at 150%/150%/150% w/ Optimal conditions, and your planet / atmosphere type, and can hold 200 facilities and a LOT of people.

It can also be PPP'd in a single turn.
