Is there a way to randomly generate the home system, or do I need to take a massive space hammer to Sol for my xenos campaign? Alternatively, would it be easier to transplant my homeworld to another system?
I'm not playing with known stars.
There's a couple of good guides around, but the jist of it is that you create a new game, then go into SM mode and generate new systems, when you find one that you like, create a new race, mark it as a player race, then delete Sol.
couple of quickies, i hope.........
1. ruined outpost and left behind alien infrastructure - does one just go recovery it and take it back to earth, are there any secrets to be unveiled?
2. Same with alien wrecks - do you just take them back to earth and have their internal doings revealed to you?
TIA
Anything that you dig up from alien ruins becomes just regular stuff that your colonists can use as per normal. If you don't need infrastructure on the planet where it was dug up, you can transport it where needed.
A salvage module (when in a ship that either has a cargo bay or is paired with a freighter) will allow a ship to reduce a wreck into raw minerals, along with a % chance to recover intact modules. The modules can then either be disassembled on a planet with a lab for technology (if you don't know the tech), broken down into minerals, or can be put into your own ships (check the "use alien tech" box when designing.)
