[quote who="petrossa" reply="1225" id="3420991"]Anyone who believes that a few primates can influence the climate is delusional.[/quote] I think you are totally wrong. If we can severely change the climate of entire regions (check the desertification in the South Saharan region), why can't we change the climate of the whole planet? Changing most of the landmass surface has no effect on the planetary climate, saying this is a bit funny I think.

[quote who="agaricus5" reply="27" id="3420214"]Since you mentioned it, I have noticed something odd about max allegiance. Even if you get some horrible planetary bonuses (e.g. death world, chaotic society) these do not appear to be able to decrease your planet's actual allegiance to a value below the standard value without culture.[/quote] I noticed it too, it is strange, but it has the intended allegiance at planets that have enemy culture nearby, so if you take an

I think this is the answer. One does not simply ignore the whole planet as it defines the climate of every place on Earth.

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="3" id="3419061"]The OP builds on a false premise - that there is a common interest to solve the problems of todays world. That is patently false, if we wanted an egalitarian, just society providing reasonable livehood for most people, we could have one. Instead we have neoliberal capitalism that maximizes the advantage of accumulated capital and its motto is "Winner takes all". The current unjust, wasteful and destructive global system wa

[quote]A solution: Give everyone money, the same amount to every man, woman & child, to the tune of at least $500, but no more than $1,000, going – with U.N. supervision – directly and solely to the individuals, untaxed and secured against private or state confiscation. And keep doing it, on an annual basis, so that everyone can make rational economic decisions based on it.[/quote] HA HA. That is really naive, sorry to say this. Assuming everyone

[quote who="agaricus5" reply="6" id="3418028"]i.e. the Black Hole causes 50 damage at an interval of 7s repeatedly. You can see this by watching the shields carefully and counting the number of resource updates you get between two damage updates. If nothing else is happening, your resource amounts update once per second, so you should see the interval between damage events is about 7 updates.[/quote] I knew the solution was something similar and thanks for it, BUT is it

I guess from the files but it would be better to see this number in the game instead of that 50.. It is clear that it's not 50 dps, but I could not even guess how much damage is dealt..
