I just found an FC, right next to my colony ship. The system has 4 metal worlds, and a WW:
"Development Level >>"? Figuring out what all these numbers do.
- Thread starter Ian Doncaster
- Start date
4 refinery planets ...and a tourism world. Oh boy, this is going to be good
If having a colony station around a sun turns it instantly into a hi-tech economy facility then there are going to be fights around those multiple sun systems (with no planets) that no one wanted just 24 hours ago
don´t give up - I did Refinery, Industry, Hightec and agriculture (at different planets) and it works. As long as you have enough influencers in the direction attempted, the planetary influence seems to diminish...
Oh those - are fine step-stones if you are chaining out....If having a colony station around a sun turns it instantly into a hi-tech economy facility then there are going to be fights around those multiple sun systems (with no planets) that no one wanted just 24 hours ago
Why? We could already make a high tech by just choosing a scientific outpost as main station, and we still want other slots to juice the stats/pop*.If having a colony station around a sun turns it instantly into a hi-tech economy then there are going to be fights around those multiple sun systems (with no planets) that no one wanted just 24 hours ago
*testing pending
Because many stars have multiple orbitals too. Now you just have to build a T2 Coriolis then it may be instantly hi-tech - and you still have those other orbitals available.
Perfect stepping stone (as @Xenia_K mentioned) and way station at the same time.
(still to be tested)

What about the Rocky Ice Worlds? Or the Metal-Rich ones?
I hope it won't be only the metal-rich ones with the refinery influence, those are quite rare.
Metal rich ones would be extraction (theoretically).
Oh boy, my current star system under development has nothing but icy bodies, all 9 of them. This is going to be fun, an absolute industrial powerhouse
To be fair, High Tech would be more logical "natural" economy of ice worlds. All these data centers, GPU farms crunching machine learning, quantum computers and nanorobotics need a lot of cooling. Neon is a good inert gas to have around, too.

Well, "vent the entire atmosphere, we've all got remloks" has been the approved way to put out fires for the last four years.
Ok, i started looking through old systems colonized by me (too many), but I can't really remembered the original economies.
I went through the logs, and at least one of them definitely changed. It was an "Colony" outpost orbiting an atmospheric ice world with one ice moon, but now in the sys map it says: Sevice economy. I'm going there to check the log.

That is probably from the installation attached
Possible, certainly. That would certainly have been a much less disruptive change.
Or maybe they saw the large number of players suggesting things like "what if all economy influences applied to all stations" and decided that was what people wanted?
TBH i think its a good decision, this way even 1-2 slot places can be developed into something, you just have to be more choosy with the body you develop......
Of course, the larger issue is that this came with absolutely no heads up, no way to move stations/cancel constructions, no documentation, useless architect UI, and absolutely mind numbing gameplay where anything unexpected can cost hours of boredom. This feature could have absolutely used another business quarter for development, testing and whatnot.
