Yea, I noticed most of them were going to mars. Once I get a good fleet of terraformers and get mars livable, I'll set it as a source of colonists and try to get the focus on colonization to my outlying colonies. Hasn't really been a problem yet, up until about two months ago I only had one transport ship. I now have two, and my first V3 cryotransport which has higher capacity and better speed.

Just noticed I missed Greenbane's edit, sorry!
...
By the way, spoiler question: what's the longest-ranged Precursor missile you've encountered, guys? I'd hate it if they had ones with ranges greater than 50 million km (which is my latest design's and the centerpiece of my new class of missile frigates).
friggin long, their missile ship went a nasty 90m km with its active sensors, and the missiles were size 3 with a size 4 warhead, going ~20000 km/s, I really can't remember how fast, but it was fast, and it could fire 9 at a time. :(

at-least mine are longer. 8)

Edit; I also noticed that missiles now cannot be less than size 1. :(

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Question - what does it take to make a planet no longer require infrastructure? I have Mars up above 0 celsius, which is the minimum threshold in my game. I have .14 atmosphere of oxygen, which is above the .1 threshold. There is apparently no lower threshold on pressure, and it's below even one atmosphere so that shouldn't be the problem. It still requires 200 infrastructure per million people though. What do I need to do to make Mars habitable so I can move the infrastructure to Alpha Centauri or Proxima Centauri and use Mars as a breeding planet for more colonists.

Edit: Nevermind, found it. Oxygen percentage was above 30%. Think I'll pump in helium, since I don't need to worry about agriculture and I like the idea of my colonists talking in really high pitched voices. What can go wrong with pumping the atmosphere full of a noble gas?

Do you have to much oxygen percentage? (boom-boom!)

It could have toxins in its atmosphere, could you have added some by mistake?

Edit; ahh.

Ahh, but now Martian opera will be known for it's heartstopping all alto pieces. I have just done a great service for the arts!

Yea, at first I thought it could be the carbon dioxide, so I sucked that out. Minimizing the oxygen pressure to .1 from .14 really helped though, in addition to pumping in more neutral gasses.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

A doctor tried to diagnose me as insane but before he was half through he went insane himself from what I was telling him. They had to postpone the decision till he regains it.

Let me guess, it was the turtle shell right? for some reason the only one left was forbidden and despite you drawing pictures of it over and over it stayed that way and you went crazy from lack of it.
