Heya! Sorry, that is not a thing you can do in this game sadly. 

So does me buying SC Origins undermine Fred and Paul’s ability to make Ghosts of the Precursors? And if so, how?

Thanks! That's exactly what I was after. And actually, I also stumbled on the same resource in Utlranomicon (by adding "tectonics" to my google search criteria)

Hello lovely people, it's been a while but I thought I'd check in.

I've a desire to do a speed run of SC2, but based on the in-game calendar rather than actual earth minutes. Do do this well, I need a resource that shows me the vital stats of each planet (minerals, bio and hazard ratings).

I feel that such a thing exists but I cannot locate it on the interwebs. Can someone help me? I could probably dive into the code and do something but that makes my brain hurt. Hoping such a list already exists!

Incidentally, is there a community accepted world record for clocking this game by a certain date? eg by July 2158 or something?

Project 6014 ends in June of 2169.

Yes, at the current rate of progress that is when P6014 will be complete

Hi folks!

Long time no see. Changing data for the uqm map is a piece of cake. If I can do it, ANYONE can do it. You can move stars around, change location of artifacts etc etc. The engine wasn't changed one jot.  The coordinates of all stars are just in there as numbers. I think I added 500 to everything to get them all to move up and to the right. The funnest thing was making new rainbow worlds (woops, spoiler).

Similarly, chaining text and conversations trees was relatively straightforward, but a also a bit brain hurty hurty and laborious.

Just don't ask me to remember how I did all that.

Lurg will change. Dialog will change. Lurg will not be the main enemy. :-)

Ssshhhh...

How long is it?

That's an interesting post!

Unlikely, BUT there is an HD mod of UQM being done by many of the same people that are doing P6014.

So actually, yes.

I know I am asking a longshot question but I am curious, do you guys currently plan on releasing another expanded demo or is the next goal aimed at a completed game and in either case, what kind of time table are you looking at for release right now?

It's a reasonable question.

I personally don't think there's much point in another expanded demo release. We sort of broke with SC2 tradition by having a fixed point in the plot with the Lurg encounter. To have another meaningful demo release we'd have to have another fixed point in the plot - and that takes us away from SC's open-endedness, or at least the ability to do almost anything in any order.

More likely the next release will be a beta for testing, I.e the full thing in buggy form. As for timeline, well that is utterly impossibly to predict and relies on all sorts of factors, not the least of which will be crew fatigue and motivation, or real life getting in the way. So much work to do though. So much work.

However, we're a diverse team, and others will have other opinions on releases. And I know some are way more optimistic/ambitious about final release dates than I am.

Hey Cedric, isn't the story pretty much done by now anyway? I was udner the impression that only some dialogue was missing. If so, maybe the should be edited in somewhere so that anyone trying to not just give feedback but also suggest changes is aware of the fact that they are pretty late to the party.

The the story is basically sorted, but the dialogue is a long way from being written. So yes. Suggestions about plot are all a bit pointless at thus stage.

I'm afraid its mostly boring stuff like bugs that we want feedback on right now, and will do for the foreseeable future. I supposed ships too actually. They will take a LOT of tweaking to get right. I can see us releasing lots of 1.x's with various ship/melee improvements.

I think everyone is jumping the gun quite a bit. The purpose of the demo is to give us a taste of what is to come, they are hardly going to give us exact details on the Chmmr plans to turn Earth into a ice cream stand or the Orz plans to conquer the Pkunk via the use of a limerick contest (Oh damnit now I spoiled the ending!)

The demo gave us all a taste and now we are all fighting with each other as we try to guess on what comes next. That's great! But I am noticing several comments towards what the creators should do or are doing wrong in our various opinions.  Let's be careful not to spit any venom at the creators when we do not know anything close to the full story yet.

That's basically exactly right

Although, it is only natural (and fun) to speculate. And we do sort of leave ourselves opon to unreasonable amounts of scrutiny when releasing little teasers and demos

Clearly the YouTube posts were a cunning idea dzanick

Also after I finished fighting the Lurg, going down to the planet, examining the ship thing, and lifting off the game crashed again

Yeah we know all about that one (happened to me too!) Will be fixed when we release the 0.2.1 patch
