False Advertising - Installations
- Thread starter Pan_O_War

Super frustrating. Im alsointerested in colonization but I’m waiting for the “beta” to get to the point where it works less badly. Here’s hoping!
That's the spirit - *everyone*s plan should be more ED
Sorry - was supposed to read: "what - just built what was supposd to be a satelite and got a scientific instalation instead? Now my plan is ed. I followed the FDEV game design and colonization menu (selecting satellite) - now its ruined. Won't be playing this game until there is a way to fix. I have 3000 hrs. Bye."
I've seen it is just the appearance, not the function, that is wrong with certain installations.
This is just really confusing interface design and labelling.
The problem is that there's no such thing - in terms of "in game models" as a Satellite Installation (or indeed half the other types in the build menu). But, worse, the in game model names overlap with the Role names, so "Scientific Installation" is also a role.
If you look at it on the system map instead you'll see that it's giving you the benefits (wealth, etc.) of a Satellite Installation, not a Scientific one.
By analogy, a "courier" is both a mission type and a class of imperial ship, but you can do that mission type in any ship and can do any mission type in a courier.

Do you mean Tourist Settlement here? Satellite is the prerequisite for that, then Tourist Installations require a Tourist Settlement.
Checking now, my Satellite Installation (Angelia Type) is letting me place Tourist Settlements. I'm working on other stuff at the moment but I'd expect to be able to get a Tourist Installation after building one of those as well.
Oh you are right - I think that changed from the beginning when I was planning my system with this sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...b3a8dmqVqq2o/edit?gid=294937936#gid=294937936
I feel like in the early days it was just satelite > Tourist installation (and no need for a tourist settlement).
I can build a Space Bar instead. Thank you.
