Interesting - so it shows Colony/High-Tech on the map, but only Colony in the journal. That's strange.
"Development Level >>"? Figuring out what all these numbers do.
- Thread starter Ian Doncaster
- Start date
Is it not strange that the reply didn't really have anything to do with the question? Normal for random responses, i would not have expected that as an official response.
I'm not putting much weight into that message.
yes and no. No, he didn´t answer the question of Outpost, Yes he did answer about the Orbis only producing Biowaste. And that statement is important in the context of this thread.
Would be interesting to see if making t1 planetary ports after finishing a starter port BEFORE adding satellites and other t1 space installations to see of the pop increase scales with some modifier coming from "initial pop" increase stat.
I personally made an Orbis as starter port and for the time being I'm planning to add more or less all the space installations (except the ones tied to a planetary asset condition)
From what I've saw here are the pop increases from:
_Comms: 1000 pop
_Relay: 1000 pop
_Satellite: 900 pop
_Government: 1700 pop
_Security: 1400 pop
Today I am hopefully finishing off
_Mining outpost (funny that it is in "installation")
_Agriculture Farm
_Medical
Next I will make a civilian t1 planetary port (I want to pump up pop size over defining economy currently)
Then I will start putting out yet again another set of such installations and compare if the pop increase from them are linear or modified from most likely "initial pop increase" stat.
He has a high tech hub, which has a high tech economy. Giving the system Colony/High Tech. I have the same. I have a Scientific hub which shows as a large(+++) settlement with high tech economy, imports, exports etc, just not dockable.
Market production and biowaste was definitely not the question.
While the statement posted could be true, it might also be not true. I would not give it any weight. If Frontier wanted to release information like that, IMO they would have more appropriately.
Edit: Well I guess that IS the way frontier releases info. It was also released in Galnet News, not sure which was first. Kinda crappy also the question/response from the Frontier rep worded like everybody should know this. Cmon, in addition to not answering the person's question but making the statement like it was common knowledge. I didn't think t was very cool.

yeah when they said "open BETA" they really meant it--> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...lazers-new-stations-operational-delay.635451/ .
Between new Trailblazers ticks + normal BGS & such, monitoring their server prompt & database refresh must be a 24/7 job perfect for ai to handle!
Very nice. Been considering adding a relay & government installation but was wondering what the population boosts might be. Thanks!
Doesn't seem to - I added a T1 planetary as my second construction, and got 1000 from my Satellite installation (4th) which is essentially the same as you got.
(Starter outposts without an "initial population" seem to vary between 4500 and 5500, so there's either some randomness built in, or influence from hidden system properties)
Anyone else getting no missions on boards at non-controlling faction’s settlements? No foot missions and no ship missions. It’s been active for two weeks so not a tick thing.
Some peeps are going to have a bad time if they built first Orbis in such a position.So tentatively, based on the FD feedback, if the planet or moon is not landable then build an outpost or an installation. Do NOT build a T2 or T3 orbital spaceport or it's tons of biowaste forever

) so I guess it is true. Not sure which was first. Kinda crappy the Frontier rep (a) didn't answer the actual question and (b) took the time to flippantly make a statement* like it was common knowledge. Appears like someone that wanted to feel big by knowing something others could not possibly know. IMO not cool.* with big very significant ramifications for many cmdrs.

Hm, what about the payout? Did it increase too? Have you built something in the meantime, or did the values go up naturally?
Payout seems to be setting at 10,000 per score, adjusted by the % happiness.
The % happiness I suspect is related to BGS political states (I got 0% last week; this week has been a control war for the system between the factions who between them own all the stations and I got -8%)
What the score is based on (and why it's shown to 2dp when no-one seems to ever get a non-integer one) still very unclear.

Yes, I built and completed several facilities including the Coriolis last week, but I don't know it 'counted' because it is still considered under deployment.
I didn't record last weeks population. This week pop = 41,140 (I don't know if that includes Corrilos)
336,339 credits -> 469,890 credits
I am now building an Ocellus (won't be done for a couple weeks), so this week everything else in my system will stay the same and I will see if the numbers settle out.

Yep, I suspect the same - now there is just the question which attributes really contribute towards the score
Great, that means the Coriolis I built as my first station that was predetermined on an ELW is literally worthless.
Does having an Earthlike world in the system do anything to population level?
I've been lucky enough to snaffle such a system, but goodness knows when the first station will come online.

I until now could not recognize any Pop influence in my EL System.... unfortunatly, as I was hoping for that.....
