Resetting focus to Balanced

#1 Post by techogre »

Hi! New to freeorion and loving it!

However, I would like to know how to assign population to different tasks (production, food research, etc). Right now, it's all or nothing.

At least how can I reset a planet to a balanced focus.

Thanks!

If you're playing v0.3.15, the latest release, there is no "balanced" focus. Each planet has a single focus selection. You can change this, but you can't assign a planet more than one focus. If you want to increase output of multiple types of resources, you'll need to create additional colonies and focus them accordingly.

I think the developers should think about adding it. After playing for a hundred turns, only systems with many planets are usable, one for each focus. But systems with only one planet cannot be useful, either it dies or produces food. Because when if focus on prod or mining the other resources go to 0. Cannot be set as target something else than 0 when not on focus?

Planets in different systems that are close enough to each other can share resources -- not only ones in the same system. Notice the starlanes that are empire-colored, systems that are connected can share.

I agree it's too rough getting started, further adjustments to focus are being discussed.

I didn't noticed it! Maybe because my planets were placed too far :P .
