/vst/ — Solar Nations 2

File: Nemesis at Titan.jpg (94 KB, 1012x810)

absolutely golden concept but horrifically janky and as you said the starting scenario is completely insane, unfortunately I doubt the dev has the capability to reach this game's full potential, which is a same as this is the exact type of space GSG I want next to Ascendance

File: nation.png (25 KB, 424x122)

bit out of date there

File: nationui.png (1.29 MB, 1920x1200)

this UI needs a lot of work

>>2403402 (OP)
looks cool, i'll wait until it's available on cs rin tho. way too many of these games turn out to be a wetfart

File: scale.png (2.44 MB, 1920x1200)

>>2403522
scaling helped a little bit

File: ages.png (142 KB, 380x350)

I do like the idea of "Ages" but I think it would be better if they where dynamic

>>2403535
The dev could tie the ages to the overall development of the world and certain technologies unlocked. They should be less based on how humanity is advanced technologically, but more on how they're doing politically, and how much they're fucking themselves to death with nuclear wars.

File: ui.png (105 KB, 816x235)

would be nice if any of these tool tips would describe anything beyond stats
>>2403544
yeah there shouldn't really be an age of unravelling if everything is going peachy

File: map.png (1.61 MB, 1015x852)

this labelling is terrible

File: colours.png (1.05 MB, 746x741)

there has to be a better way of showing non integrated parts of a nation, you'd never know scotland, wales and Ireland are actually part of the EU

>>2403566
dev should be adding more diplomatic options soon, i hope to see puppet mechanics so i can turn earth into NWO zog shithole

think I've tapped out what there is to peruse in the demo, gonna rummage around for the most recent crack I can find

how moddable is this?

Is this a solo developer?

>>2403525
cs.rin has 0.16.1
>>2403615
yes

File: commietears.png (119 KB, 712x331)

The game's chuddy enough that it's making fags get mad over it already.
>the social law 'hypocritical' gives a bonus to Marxism, and so does 'totalitarianism'
Kek, definitely buying this.

>>2403649
>seething over TFR as well
lmao

>I want to deliver a truly complete product on release
>Leaving Early Access: August 2026
Is it another indie scamware?

>>2403556
ok so some tooltips have descriptions, I guess that's a WIP

>>2403402 (OP)
anyone got the console commands for it? cant find em anywhere

>>2403649
Im a leftist myself but I play the fire rises all teh time bc I love larping fascism

>>2403649
>neoliberal capitalism
someone inform this dumb red that a small group of conspirators in charge of the controlling heights of the political economy is literally vanguardism

he's just upset the flag is the wrong color

>>2403601
There's an in game scenario editor and you can drop flags into a folder to use them, need to have a look if more can be done

This looks jank as all hell, but with a lot of soul, and a unique premise. And I think there is good potential in the mechanics too.

I'll defintely be checking it out.

Though what are the limits of the demo?

>>2404002
tech limits by the looks of it

>>2403649
Based. I bought it because I also love terra invicta.

>>2404002
Hopefully some hero uploads a real "demo" without the limits.

>>2403402 (OP)
UI's incredibly ugly. It's a GSG, the UI is like half the game, you should put some fucking effort into making it look nice. Aside from the crappy textures there's even misaligned elements, off-centred text, etc.

>>2403714
just on into edit mode

>planetary unification is based on culture
I'm not bloody conquering mars to unify the moon

>>2403535
Dev mentioned that he wants to make them more dynamic later
>>2404302
You should have enough pops even without Martian-Americans

>>2404544
yeah everything resolved once the last provinces integrated

they really trick is to ignore planets and rush stations, the asteroid belt will make you an economic super power

File: Thule.png (498 KB, 1187x672)

I've been playing Thule so far (the moon nazis) and have been trying to unite Luna for two runs so far. They both ended so far with the United Colonies allying with the Dominate that either forms the Empire or the North American Federation and starts raping me to death. I have struggled to get manpower so far and tried rushing the eugenics path for more pops. I'll try again, but this time I'll just conquer everyone as fast as I can and cockblock Luna with a starfleet.

Playing space nations is much harder than doing Earth stuff, even though all of their construction is much cheaper for the most part. Even rump states like England have massive populations you can mobilise into station building.
>>2404579
Good idea, I run out of industrial capacity super fast.

someone explain the economy to me

>>2404600
You need to spam infrastructure and factories to get industrial. After that, you branch off into making tiles, where you produce consumer products and other profitable resources. You can also sell off excess shit you have, like air capacity or the aforementioned industrial, to get more money to eventually snowball.
Construction on planets is pretty cucked and really costly. Centralize all of your most profitable shit around asteroid belts, since later you'll be able to build mines that give you thousands of industrial.

>>2404600
Disclaimer-exact numbers might be off
You have money, resources and capacity.
Resources largest stack you have gets turned into country buff while rest turns into money. They do not stack (if you have 5 electricity in one provicne and 4 in another you get the buff from 5 and 4 turns into money). Some resources require other resources to build, consumer good for example require food. Every level of mass manufacturing (building taht boosts cg production) requires 5 more food. If you have 15 food max level of mass production is 3, but across every province, menaing you can spam as much
Capacities are things like industrial capacity, robots, chromite and so on. They add up. Hundred in one province plus 200 in anotehr means you have 300. Can be sold and brough, really useful. Some, like antimatter provide buff for stacking. They are consumed. Units are teh most common consumer.
Money is what you use to build stuff and upkeep your country. You have two sources-income tax and resource tax. Resource tax I explained above. Income tax is your tax rate*dev equilibrium*taxable population*admin efficiency. Dev equilibrium depends on techs, resources and tax rate and slowly rises or falls across provinces towards it

>turning those lunar chinese as accepted population
>as hyperborea
Disgusting
That aside, orbital blockade is really effecient as AI suck at using space naval fleets. In my experience US tends to fall apart. You cna also try rushing united colonies before US reunifies. Spaceships can actually be used planetside. They can't capture but they're an effective battering ram.

>>2404623
>turning those lunar chinese as accepted population
Nah, I use the eugenics to boost my pop via cloning and neuter all pops that aren't German, French or British. I only keep Amerimutts around as meat until I kill them, too.
>Spaceships can actually be used planetside.
That'd be super helpful. Do you know how to use missiles and nukes, btw? I am gonna need that if I'll ever attempt to invade Europe.

>>2404626
Build an airbase unit. Add eitehr nuclear or balistic missiles to it, it will show you the max you cna have with your airfield size. Press c then rightclick at the province you wanna hit
Space provinces have low pop numbers so you cna accidentally genocide them with missile. Nuclear missiles are expensive IC wise, definetly grab asteroid belt if you wanna use them. AI nations are a bucnh of pussies taht get pissy if you nuke and declare war on with a massive coalition. To deal with it I recoment massed nuclear spam turning good parts of the offending nations empty.
You should be able to outech europe, biggest probelm are deathstacks, swarms of units and annoying allies like sinic protectorate. Nuclear missiles are definetly not necessary and possibly detrimental. Balistic missiles are good at chipping at their deathstacks. If sinnic protectorate does declare war on you garison your space holdings, stations especially. Recapturing them is a pain in the ass
Also forced labour is really good, actually

This game seems incredibly autistic
I conquered North Mexico as America and got notifications about 3 separate crises but nothing really happened

>acutally got hooked playing the previous version form cs.rin
alright dev you win

Turd worlder here, did the game get cracked yet? Also where can I download it from? Checked fitgirl and gog games and nothing yet, I need an account to do the search thing in rutracker, not in the mod to scroll to find the game

>>2404823
see >>2403620

AI logic needs a lot of work, NATO crumbles immediately in the 2025 start date for no real reason, ww3 starts over a mexican cartel

>>2404795
Check your population page to turn jeets into an oppressed culture. You can also use edicts to encourage migration.

>>2404839
I had better performance in 2092 to be honest, it takes a bit for majors to power up until they start global war. But I've also had moments where the retarded AI escalated into conventional/nuclear war over some dumb shit.

>>2404839
hope there's a rework to alliances, there should be a defensive alliance option so you don't get dragged into literally every minor geopolitical squabble

>>2404833
yea but do you got the link or something? cs.run sounds so suspuicious as fuck that even entering the site might got me malware, Im just a pussy bro

>>2404858
>too scared to use the counter strike forums
ngmi

>>2404861
bro its normal o be slavphobic, moment I read something in Cyrilics its gotta be dangerous

Alright I donwloaded the file from pixeldrain and yet the when I open it on zipfile it tells me to type a password, like what fucking password I looked at the game page on CS.RUN but I cant find anything, worse thing is I dont even know how to comment on the CS.RUN site, like how the fuck am I supposed to comment? Can anyone help here?

>>2404909
Are you retarded? The password is right in front of you on the site.

>>2403447
Damn that image is cool, where it's from?
>>2404648
You probably figured it out already but for other people reading-you get three situations that if you don't resolve start a civil war

>>2404839
Have you checked out real NATO lately?

>>2404909
Bro, it's ten bucks on steam and it has a demo, save yourself the grief.

I can finally partake in my fantasy to restore the french monarchy on Mars and team up with lunar nazis to destroy the EU and euro-muslims (a fantasy I didn't have before).
It scratches an itch no other game does.

>>2403649
>Kek, definitely buying this.
will you also give me money for an underwhelming product if I just say a few based things?

>>2405010
It's defiently not professional and pretty rough around the edges but it has sovl and is pretty fun to play
