Default Re: One Planet Challenge

Haven't thought about PBW yet, but i have made a small mod with a racial trait that gives better robo-components, 3 resourcer ship sizes (cheap to research, big, but very slow, and def/off penalties), can't build mining facilities, and also can't capture planets. And asteroids don't lose their value.
Just to get used to having few planets, and still be able to win
You can still colonize, and build research centers, but they got racial research centers which only give 300 research points intstead of 500.

I think the one planet race should get some more advantages if it has to compete with a normal race, maybe better weapons of mass destruction.

This does sound like fun. For it to be a PBW game it would have to be No-AI Mod otherwise if someone dropped out or missed a turn, colony ships would be the first thing the AI would try to build.

Set it up, I'll join! Hell, I'd join a game that only allowed bowls of oatmeal and spoons as weapons.

Can you turn off the colonization techs in Set Up/Technology?

I've never turned anything off so I haven't scrolled down the list to see if the colony techs are even on it.

No, the colony techs are by default set to always-available. But in a mod you could probably take them out (or just make the colony components so huge no ship can use them)

Ok. I just signed up for PBW, and want to start that game.
But what will the setting be?
And will we mod the robo compononts to make remote resourcing more competetive?
And maybe we should also make it so that we get the ship capture thingies for free, to capture ships from the AI and analyze them.
