Clarity Blurbs
« on: January 10, 2025, 04:49:52 PM »

If possible, could we get a couple clarity blurbs here and there?

Example:  mining core item could say "will not boost volatiles production." I had part of a game hinging on that with a cryovolcanic world and when it went bust, so did most of said game.

Tri-Tac colony crisis: mining ORES doesn't set it off, but do organics and/or volatiles? What's "safe" if you're not ready to go a-raiding-and-a-bribing?

The drill does exactly what it says it does and nothing more. It specifically says it increases ore, rare ore, and organics by 3 units. The lack of volatiles in the tooltip should indicate to you that it doesn't increase volatiles.
The tooltip for the tritachyon crisis tells you exactly which commodities are causing it. There isn't a tooltip for clarity prior. FYI what they care about are transplutonic ores, supplies, heavy armaments, heavy machinery, drugs, and luxury goods.

Then why am I being raided *right now* because of Ore and Food?

Are you playing modded? It might be based on their market share

Speed-up only, otherwise totally Vanilla. (That said, the colony getting raided is top-billing for food exports, it's definitely market share).
