Can any one tell me where the music files are and can we play them separately from the game?

Can any one tell me where the music files are and can we play them separately from the game?

Currently the best way to access the music files is via the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth\assets\Sounds\Streamed\Music. They are ogg files, which can be played by VLC (which will also convert them to MP3 if you want). There's no word yet on whether they will be made more accessible, in MP3 form.

Is it possible to re-name your cities? Having a heck of a time trying to figure this out, and is there anyway to do a custom map?

 

[gorillagogo]

is there a list of keyboard shortcuts? I couldn't find anything in the civilopedia.

 

[Bkeela]

How does one have all the trade routes visible like in the MadDjinn games? I'd also be interested in a full list of keyboard short-cuts.

Everything is so confusing... so many questions.

Where is all the information hiding? Is there a secret hidden menu?

I built a trade thingy. I selected an outpost, and there was a bunch of red bug symbols on the map. Fine. A few turns later, I'm asking "where is my trade thingy". Seems I've lost it, but I missed the notification?

Do the makers of Endless Space have a patent that disallows Firaxis from using right-click to exit the technology screen? It's a shame, because that would have been useful. I don't like having to press ESC.

Do city attacks affect alien aggression levels?

I saw in a stream or review where the answer was no, but I have not heard this mentioned again.

 

[JokerJace]

Is there an easy way to check what my current accumulated worker speed bonus is?

What is the standard orbital attack range for cities, there are things taht increase it, but I can't find ANY info on what the initial range is.

Thanks in advance!

I'm playing a Purity game right now, and I just built the Exodus Gate.
The game tells me I can activate this gate once per turn to produce a Earthling Settler Unit.
However, I've no clue how to activate the gate. I clicked on it, but there's no button or command there. The city next to it doesn't produce settlers either. I looked at the Civilopedia and I took a quick gander at the techs, but I just can't find what I need to do here. KP is already producing those settlers and I'm just killing those now.

Never mind. Found it. When you click on the icon for the gate, on the left side there is a symbol of a man. this summons a settler.

Can we make tooltips appear faster? Right now there's a 3-second delay by default, and I can't figure out how to speed it up.

There is a slider in Game Options. Try setting it to 0 second delay.

Is there a place where I can see who is at war with who, who is friends with who?? Cus it's not in diplomacy.

 

[frnknbry]

Thank you I thought Firaxis was going to release the music as a stand alone as well?

 

[Suicidekills]

Also are quarries and floatstone quarries the same when it comes to quarries getting upgraded in the tech web?

 

[forty2j]

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. I don't really think it deserves a whole thread.



I was wondering if someone could please post screen shots of the graphics options in the game. I am anxiously awaiting the Mac version and am trying to decide whether or not I should preorder yet. I'm trying to see if there are options I can decrease or disable that would let me run the game with my MBP and HD 3000. (Foolish, I know. I should just be patient and see what happens, but I want to preorder NOW, darn it! )

You mentioned before that you do have a windows partition; can you download the free demo?

Did they remove the Avoid Growth option and the Unit List screen? That second one in particular seems senseless to remove but I can't find either; I don't have to use it that often but when I use it I REALLY need it. Maybe I'm just blind and can't see them?
