A guide to Space and the Future

[raxo2222]

I can’t for the life of me figure out why I’m unable to build the lunar manufacturing building. I’ve got all the prerequisites in place. What am I missing?

Did you send 4 supply ships to each lunar city, and then build 4 special buildings in each lunar city with those units?

I presume that this is a question which must have come up many times but after searching your fora I have not found an answer.

Playing on a map with two continents, and having reached the information age, I have build several satelites but I see no way to luanch them into orbit, since I can't find any low orbit panels on the map.
Is this a matter of space not existing at all on an earth map, so that there is no space exploration in such a game? If not what should I do to explore all the space related features of this mod?

Thanks in advance

Yes. I’ve built all of those buildings with the four supply ships. I have two Bulldozers too. The city population is at 1. I just don’t get it. Why can’t I build that building?

You have to be playing one of the scenarios that include the space maps.

Mapscripts doesn't have space.
You have to play on scenario - that is premade map, accessed trough custom game. Their names start with Space Map.

Do you have iron, titanum and bauxite mines connected to lunar cities?
Also you need to connect all space colonies with space routes.

On github I removed supply ships (ones, that can build four different buildings on Moon).
It was overcomplicating early space colonization.
Now those buildings will be buildable on Moon.
They are extra cheap and require Commercial Spaceport in empire, just like Supply Ship required it.

I think the problem is that I haven’t built the roads yet connecting my structures to the town (solar panels, hydroponic farms, habitation complex, etc). I’ll try that and see what happens.

Always connect resource sites with cities.
All space colonies can be connected with roads.
You need different workers for different terrains though.

How can I use a space map in a custom game? They don't show up unless I pick the scenarios but then I cannot adjust game options like I can with a custom game.

Mapscripts doesn't support space.

I was finally able to produce the Lunar manufacturing plant. I think it was a combination of building roads (paths) and certain buildings. It seems to be really convoluted and a little deceiving.

Yeah, sometimes there is requirement of requirement of requirement in same same column of techs, or even in same tech.

I am hoping to build lunar factory soon. I have cislunar cities.

Don't forget to connect space colonies with road network, also there are three different resources that MUST be improved and connected to lunar cities on Moon.

 

[Osk21]

There is something that I am not doing that must be critical. I don't know how to create a lunar city. i have built habitation colonies and connected them with resources. Any hints would be appreciated. Sorry for my ignorance.

Send Heavy Rocket to Space Station level 3, and upgrade it there to Lunar Settler.
Send Lunar Settler to Lunar Outpost or Lunar Habitation Complex to build city

Success!! I now have a city on the moon. Thanks raxo I owe you a beer!

I noticed, that you are missing improvements on some resources on Earth.
Also you have TONS of unbuilt buildings on Earth including research/production ones.

I am unable to build worldships to settle transtellar and interstellar space. Please help!

You MUST build those space economy national wonders on Earth!

Looks like you failed to build enough buildings for requirements of Cislunar Economy NW.

Spoiler :

You never used Solar Sail to place Asteroids near Cislunar colonies - Asteroids are needed for Cislunar buildings, and one of these is needed to build Cislunar Economy on Earth.
You need to send Solar Sail or Magnetic Sail to Asteroid Terrain or Asteroid Feature, and use it to capture asteroid.
I guess you never sent units to space to get rewards.

 

[Osk21]

I placed captured asteroids next to cislunar colonies. Still no luck. Could you take a look now and see if it could be something else? Do I still have a chance to supply the required prerequisites or did I miss my opportunity? Thanks for all of your efforts, raxo.
