Hello all, first wanted to say this is am amazing game. I'm a Dwarf Fortress player and noticed this in an older thread on their website (which is several hundred posts long) and I am loving Aurora so far. I had a few basic questions that I haven't been able to find searching the website or on the wiki. I suspect some, if not all, of these are reposts and I apologize for that (lord knows I've answered many re-posts on the DF boards
.
So, in no particular order:
1) Is there a way to continually advance time? Like if I am waiting for many months for something to be ready to avoid having to click the 'end turn' button again and again?
2) How do 'tug' ships work? I had an asteroid harvesting ship run out of fuel just outside of Mars' orbit and I had a tug vessel move in to drag it home but when I linked them and tried to move it I was told that the tug was out of fuel and could not complete its mission even though its fuel tanks were full.
3) The option to set the chance of NPR race generation, does that create any kind of civilization (low tech, all powerful, in between, etc) or does it create full fledged NPR empires each time?
4) When I try to settle a new world, even one that is fairly close in line to the idea human environment, I almost immediately get the message that people are upset because of overcrowding, is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, that's all that comes to mind. I've been learning new and better ways to play every time I try the game out.
