Version 3.1 Ruins Question
« on: July 06, 2008, 11:10:45 AM »
As the topic says, I have a question about ruins.  Is there any way to manually add them to a planet/moon?  I see the "Random Precursor" button on the system display screen, but that appears to add ancient ships, rather than ruins.

I am keeping precursor ships out of Aurora until I have time to bring them up to date with all the changes. Therefore I have changed the Random Precursor button to a Random Ruin button. This will add a random ruin type and possibly abandoned factories/mines. Each time you press the button, it will generate a ruin from scratch, overwriting the existing ruin and any abandoned mines/factories. This will be in v3.11

So far I have discovered a Ruined Colony, a Ruined City, and a Ruined Settlement, which leaves me wondering . . . which is bigger?  Is there a list somewhere that tells me the various sizes of all these things?  I would like to employ my Archaeological team to best effect . . . if only I could figure out what that is.

Deploy the Xeno team and then once they figure out the language you deploy Engineering Brigades which try to recover the ruins.
