What have you done to the demographics?: Outlaw reproducing
That just happened - Make cannibalism the only way to eat in your tribe/civilization, and outlaw other ways of eating food.
What did you expect?: Experience a game-over after telling all your civ members to terminate themselves.
Don’t Look Up! - After determining a comet/meteor will hit your planet, you gaslight your species population into thinking nothing will happen and that any news on the event is fake, while you secretly make a spaceship for only the super rich and powerful to leave the world.
Artificial Disaster: Cause all but the powerfulmost on your planet to perish as a disaster carefully knitted to mimic a real one hits your homeworld.
It’s been a long road…: Name every first major prototype of vehicle/transportation “Enterprise”, including the first FTL vehicle/ship.
Pseudoscientific Paradise: Create a place isolating pseudoscience-followers from other members of your species and make it seem like the world as they (the followers) think it is.
In a sense, they are right: create a flat planet and move to it those who believe that their planet is flat.
For those who did not go to school, the world is full of magic!: being at the industrial stage as a result of the rise of followers of the anti-scientific movement to power, be transported to the stage of society.
Is the first achievement sci-fi or not? Because flat worlds aren’t very plausible…
Isn’t it planned to have a scenario using a flatworld for planet generation? Or am I misremembering the devblogs?
It’s Mobin’ Time! - Construct a Mobius Strip world for your species to live in.
It might’ve been satire. Especially as space stage would be messed up with such a world most likely. Your species’ scientific theory would have lots of trouble explaining why it’s homeworld and only it is like that…
I never stated it would be your species homeworld. Unless it isn’t planned for your species to inhabit/colonize other worlds.
You mean on such a planet? How would one ascend on such a savefile?
What does where your colonies are have to do with whether or not your species can ascend? If you have several colonies, whats wrong with one being on an odd world?
If you can’t complete a game on a setting, it’s pretty much a dead end to my knowledge. Same as to why underwater civs are too “dead ends”: ascending isn’t possible with them.
But how does one of your colonies being on an unusual world effect your ability to ascend?
Oh, I thought you meant like if you started on such a world.
If you were to stumble upon such one in a “regular” playthrough, I guess maybe it could result in some sort of a pseudoscientific movement arising within your civ?
Make a huge flat disk with mountain shaped walls at the rim, make a black hole of equal weight, hang the black hole far above the disk. Spin them around the center of the thing you attach them by. This would make some wild spin gravity effects and if the disk is planetary in scale the regular gravity would make this really weird, and making a moon would likely be impossible, but for example you could take this spinning structure and put in at a livable distance from a sun. I would appear the heavens would rotate around the disk. And there would be a hole in the sky where the black hole was but most likely it would be dense enough it was more or less a single point. Anyways, once it’s spinning fill it with air and water and stuff. would this kind of thing generate naturally? Nahhh
