Hey
So i been playing this game for a while now, but i always struggle finding that "one" system to colonize.
my search "algorithme" is something like
does it have food +1 or better (more self reliant, stable stability)
does it have multiple "useful" planets
does it have a gate
does it have stable locations min 2 (for comm and nav)
The two first are a must, or i keep searching. Though a gate is the sugar on top for sure.
I have given up looking for "near core worlds", because i have never seen/found one. (excluded 1 game where i found a 3 planet in a high beacon warning system.. which i cleared out.. at the edge of the map etc.. i eventually quit)
And after a ton of restarts after checking in a semi broad circle around the core world (using console to fuel me stuff), i havent find a single one! so i stopped doing restarts and just go with it.. but i usually end up bored/annoyed that when i hit cycle 220 i still am just flapping around
So.. my question is, what are you looking for when you search, should i change my criteria (clearly doh!) and what is a good colony, any +2/3 resource system with semi close to core or am i just absurdly unlucky?
NB: i play with mods.
