[QUOTE=mecaguy03;41957972]So I sort of got a hang of the controls in the primeval world, but I want to join an empire before making my own.

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;41957972]So I sort of got a hang of the controls in the primeval world, but I want to join an empire before making my own. Who should I join?[/QUOTE] Well I'm a solo empire so far, so you can join FaustyLand if you'd like.

[QUOTE=Tark;41957980]I feel like this thread is turning into a bidding contest for Empires to try and get new members.

Maybe the OP should have that list and wether or not an empire can be joined

So here's a protip I just discovered. If you're in an offline designer, don't press the "exit building" button. I'm still recovering from the explosive decompression.

So yeah what would our conglomerate be named? If facepunch is included we could be the "FACT", or Facepunch Allied Conglomerate of Trade, or some other stupid acronym. Or we could just not use an acronym, I don't really know.

So what empires are FP empires?

[QUOTE=Usernameztaken;41958196]So yeah what would our conglomerate be named? If facepunch is included we could be the "FAC", or Facepunch Allied Conglomerate.[/QUOTE] As someone stated before, we should make this more "lore-friendly". Making it outright state that it's a Facepunch Alliance of Empires is boring! Something like: Neogalactic Conglomeration of Aligned States. NCAS. Neogalactic because it's the newest form of the Facepunch incursion. Conglomeration because we're only loosely bound to eachother. Aligned because we all came from the same place and most likely will be pursuing like-minded goals. Would be more interesting. [QUOTE=mecaguy03;41958227]So what empires are FP empires?[/QUOTE] The Salane Theocracy is one of them.

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;41957972]So I sort of got a hang of the controls in the primeval world, but I want to join an empire before making my own. Who should I join?[/QUOTE] Well I ain't got nobody and I'm looking for somebody to hang out with :D Can hook you up with money and a basic ship, could try colonizing our home system or deadhead to another star. Still working on warp drives. We really need to start an alliance. PM me if you're actually interested.

How about a more subtle mentioning of FP? Triad Of United Conventional Astronautical Nations T.O.U.C.A.N.

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;41958227]So what empires are FP empires?[/QUOTE] Crotia is also one of them, i think were only a few ranks below toucan atm

[QUOTE=Pilotguy97;41958308]How about a more subtle mentioning of FP? Triad Of United Conventional Astronautical Nations T.O.U.C.A.N.[/QUOTE] There are more than three though so the first letter needs to stand for something different. Also that'll get figured out rather quickly, and we all know saying toucan in any tone that isn't in distaste of it is like going up to haxus and yelling fuck you in his face.

Screw it, im just creating my own empire. It shall be a race of hobbits.

Lets just label it "1" or something, that way everyone will get confused! Seriously though, we ought to use NCAS, even if its not tropical bird themed. [QUOTE=mecaguy03;41958461]Screw it, im just creating my own empire. It shall be a race of hobbits.[/QUOTE] Design all of your buildings to be underground!

[QUOTE=paindoc;41958259][B]RATE[/B] agree for NCAS disagree for FAC/FACT funny for something else[/QUOTE] I like NCAS, because I can pronounce it as "knickers".

Make an empire called Spacepunch Coaliton. Get all the facepunch empires to set it to ally. All facepunch empires will be grouped together on the standings page.

After we ally, we should build gigantic engines on our planets and make them all orbit one star. Just imagine it. Hundreds of planets, clearly forming a gigantic facepunch logo! Or we do it with solar systems instead. Rearranging the galaxy for fun and almost no profit!

Well, if you wanted, we could fly you all out to deep space so you can live in a region populated by facepuch empires.

[video=youtube;_GGk0kim64g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GGk0kim64g[/video] Im naming my first character Gimpy. Because the name fits how the human playermodel looks. Also its really more like a race of dwarves, I just couldn't give them beards.

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;41958740]...Is it actually possible to attach engines to planets? If so, I think I need to try this game now.[/QUOTE] Sadly, its not. You should try the game anyway, you can build spaceships with engines on, and thats almost as good, right?

It made starving a real issue, but it was unbelievably annoying.

So do I just wander until I find trees?

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;41958913]So do I just wander until I find trees?[/QUOTE] ore and oil are more important in the long run, but make sure there are trees on the same continent yes. new roads are relatively easy to run remote logging camps out. I'm Kelson, Association of Intent btw

DEFINITELY at least [i]find[/i] oil. You don't necessarily have to start your city near it, just make sure you know where some [i]is[/i]. Starting near water and ore is a good idea, because you'll jump to metal faster for bigger buildings, and with water you can build a wharf to get fish. My empire lives almost entirely off of fish meat, with a little bit of animal meat as a supplement. Water also gives you access to quick energy - hydroelectric dams are relatively cheap to build and supply a good amount of electricity. Another tip: Leather can be used to make textiles. If you have a good place for an animal farm, using a slot in your meat processing factory for leather isn't a bad idea, as you can then turn the leather into textiles at a textile factory and build condos instead of houses. Condos are bigger, but provide many more citizens than normal houses do. They require textiles in addition to their normal building material though.

Protip: You can only support so much population per planet, so don't go overboard and make 1300 houses on a planet meant for 900 like me. Oh well, I've pretty much reached max production capabilities for this planet. I'll have to scrap a few redundant jobs and do some more micromanagement, then we're going to space.

I think one day, each of the FP empires needs to build a fleet and rejoin somewhere as one big FP fleet.
