Greetings, I know we just released 1.3. Can Paul give is some information on what is planned for 1.4. Greedy, game devouring nerds want to know.....

A couple of things I noticed from 1.3 and wanted to ask about:

1) If you scavenge a transport you get the soldiers, is this intended? I assume the same happens with colony ships though I haven't tried yet.

 

2) It seems that the Economy and Research projects are now useless, as even on a pure manufacturing planet you do better by just switching the slider to research or wealth. Is that just in preparation for elimination of the planetary wheel, or a balance oversight?

I doubt they were ever meant to be that effective. They're more something for your econ/research planet to be building when it's not upgrading stuff - a tiny bonus from a parked research queue. You should always be better off changing the wheel rather than going through industry, other wise 100% factories is the only 'correct' strategy.

That's not really true, but I don't think this thread is the place to discuss it.
