For getting stuff made at the buildings, assuming you're using the manufacturing tab, it goes into the city inventory. To get it, you need to build someplace that sells stuff - brokers are best since they sell everything, but you can in fact just use the factory that makes it - open Comms, Solicit Sales(eyeball button) for the item on the Trade channel, and you'll get all offers available on a private channel. Pick one, and buy. Yes, buy. You have to buy stuff even if you're the emperor. Coincidentally, the Salary for Governing Officials reward does not apply to the emperor.
You can handcraft most items(stuff that requires electricity, I think not) on a factory production list, provided you have all the materials in your inventory(like normal handcrafting). This way, if you forage some ore, you can go to a smelter building and handcraft some metal, then go to the machine shop and handcraft some screwdrivers if you want. Handcrafted stuff stays in your inventory.

For defending yourself from animals, punch, kick, shoot, stab, or mind-rape(an actual possible attack). If you build a base, troops manning the turrets will take potshots at wildlife. Fortunately, as you pave over their habitats, attacks from animals tend to drop significantly.

The new Banana Republic government is HILARIOUS.

Instead of Prez and VP, you have El Presidente and Governor.  They both have equal power.  El Presidente is selected through the votes of the people, while Governor is selected by "social standing" (based on work done for the empire etc).  And they can each remove the other guy from power by assassination.

So i made some weapon runs at factory and produced shotguns but can't buy any. Says that "none we can sell you". Is it because I don't make any gunpowder/ammo yet?

Handcrafting in production buildings goes pretty far. I once handcrafted an environment suit and helmet.

Alas, you cannot handcraft spaceships.

You should be able to buy them, unless they were exported or consumed(by troops in this case), unless you're not buying from the correct building. Try a broker, they sell everything.

Make some ammo first though. Batteries not included and all that. Rifles are better anyway.

I'd love to play this game, but the surface just never appears on my laptop.  Ah well, playing is just never gonna happen.

Instead, could some kind fellow B12 buddies post screenshots?  Or, perhaps somebody might be willing to do a LP?  Something to dream about on these cold northern nights.

I would get some pics, but I'm too lazy to put them on imageshack or something like that.

Here are some screenies (from the official forums): http://hazeron.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=77

I think the following few weeks are going to be very, very interesting.

Cool. I'll have to get more active ingame when these updates start rolling out

The Galactic Empire being an enemy is a minor bug. He has set all new empires to enemies, but, I seem to not appear on the list so it cannot be changed. And my magic ghost city is also a bug. I'll try to get to SD (Colonizing all systems not already taken on the way there.)

Anybody have any advice for boosting performance? I'm just catching on how bad it is on my homeworld after flying off and doing junk elsewhere... My card isn't really a gaming card, but it's usually capable of handling these kinds of things...

As far as I can tell, this game isn't really graphics-intensive. It's more of a strain on the CPU and RAM. If you have a multi-core, make sure to set the "Draw graphics in a seperate thread" option. Some(probably most) of it is simply lag, which is probably server-sided.

Is anyone in or near the Yggdrasil sector?

How does one change options in the game?  I can't get the bloody thing loaded, so is there some external config method?

[Shadowlord]

if all else fails, you can delete the registry keys associated with the game.
