An idea for the game

you just might like

from GalCiv2 Forums
My idea is as follows:  You have four tiles left for building on a class 8 planet, and they are positioned in a form of a square.

If you build factory on one, and another one on the one next to it, the factories would link, and work together to make higher industrial outputs. Do so with two left tiles and what you have is a mega-factory.

My suggestion - Building same improvements on tiles next to the first one (the factory) would improve their overall efficiency.

Here:

Two factories: +2 ind. points each

Three: 1st 2 unchanged, +1 for third

Four: 1st 3 unchanged, +1 for fourth

Etc...

Ten: Mega Manufactoria: +1 more for all

More then Twelwe: Forge World Bonus: +1 more for all

The bonuses can not be influenced by other bonuses, such as power plants or Capitals, but a research to do so would perhaps be also possible?

Such a thing would, of course be perhaps doable with the research labs as well.

It's for TA, of course

EDIT: I seem to have ignored the flashing word "IDEAS" and posted it here. AAAAAA D:

-Foo out

EDIT: And maybe for Generators to only give onuses to factories connected with them?

Well, i'll be dumb founded, this sure feels like the triangular connectivity concept i suggested back in November last year! I was putting SG1_Nox cities in the clouds and defensive satellites in orbit, though.

I don't like this idea either. You have to remember, when you queue a "building" for construction, you are developing infrastructure on a planetary scale, not developing buildings in a city ala Sim City. So, when you build a "factory" square, I already see this as developing one of your major cities on the planet into a major industrial hub, not just building one factory.

Think of the picture you see not the icon you see on the map, the picture has a city in the backround and other buildings like it, that's what's happening not just one building but I like this idea a bit.

Even so cooperation between two industrial hubs would be beneficial, irregardless of their size.

The trouble is that the AI probably will not be able to take advantage of this concept. As it is the AI already misuses some bonus tiles, I can't see it keeping track of clusters.

Nevermind then.
