Resource Location Variety

from GalCiv4 Forums

One thing I have noticed while playing, is that there is basically zero deviation in resource spawn locations in relation to the star colors. Durantium spawns at red stars, and only red stars. Promethion spawns at purple stars, and only purple stars. Thulium spawns at the small blue stars, and only at those stars.

Maybe mix it up a little, and give at least a chance for resources to spawn around those yellow and orange stars, or for some durantium to pop up around a purple star, etc. Give us a little surprise while exploring sometimes.

As it stands right now, I know to head straight for a red star if I want durantium, and nowhere else on the map.

Just a thought.

Happy Bug Squashing !

Personally I think that's a feature, not a bug, but it would be nice for the game to tell you that directly. A tool-tip can tell you that black holes are often associated with antimatter.

We were talking on discord about this, but I tend to agree with slarjy.  It's nice being able to look for star color when attempting to find the resources you need.

As an aside, this is a straightforward way to modify resource distribution between sectors - just alter the % of each star type..

cheers. nice observation.
