The forum discussion centers on the challenges of colonizing an Earth-like planet with a population of 2 million people, particularly focusing on the tools and industries that would be most difficult to rebuild. Key points include the necessity of high-tech electronics production, the complexities of sourcing raw materials, and the importance of establishing a sustainable infrastructure. The conversation also emphasizes the need for a gradual colonization process, with multiple deliveries of resources, to ensure survival and development on the new world.
PREREQUISITESGame developers, writers interested in science fiction, and anyone exploring the complexities of building societies in alien environments will benefit from this discussion.
Honestly if you do this, this year there are like nine 4x games coming out with a sci fi theme. So if you want to stick out with a low budget, you really got to come up with something fresh that works. Same old thing is not going to cut it. Paradoxically that means having a team :) which is expensive. I am afraid by the time I could possibly finish something like this, the space theme is completely worn out. With like 20 types of different 4x games.
