Planet colonization
There’s now finally a planet colonization system.
Instead of just being able to build on every planet, they first have to be colonized by sending a Colonizer Ship
to a planet. Both the research for those ships and the ships themselves are very expensive and supposed to be only accessible after having built a large factory.
For the ‘home’ planet nothing changed and some Structure
s are still available when starting a new game.
By colonizing a planet, some Structure
s are added to its Inventory
. It should be possible to send other ships to the planet after colonizing it, therefore one of the Structure
s is a Landing Zone
.
The previous Spaceship
s are now called Cargo ship
s.
Ship exhaust
I added an exhaust to ships. Below the new Colonizer Ship
with exhaust:
Tooltips
There are some complicated multi-step actions such as linking Space Port
and Landing Zone
and the colonization of planets.
I therefore added tooltips that are rendered near the cursor to describe what the player should do next.
