Asking you to play Half Earth if you didn't catch the thread from a couple days ago. I can find literally nothing on this game but it's so amazing, it combines all the good vibes of the socialists and the ecologists from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and manages to make a very hopeful message out of a very very bleak situation. Just bumrush BECCS to save the planet 4head.

Also the faction icons are just adorable. Look at these little guys. So cute. In real life fashion if you just follow the whims of the Fanonists, prioritize nuclear, and reduce meat consumption as much as possible you can just stop climate change within fourty years and make a little society worth living in. Have y'all found any strategies for this game that work well for you? I kept seeing lots of comments about getting to space but the game always ends too early for me to get that far, either because I die or because cooling goes below 1.0 C.

    Maybe I'm changing my mix too fast, on first planning session, I usually max out (5 dots) the relocation possible in one planning term, but there were no shortages before that?

      Oh yeah, definitely the issue, you wanna look at the bottom of the screen and only allocate changes thatcan be done in 1 planning cycle or else you get really bad shortages.

        But that's what I'm doing, 5 dots from coal power to solar, 1 planning cycle, and solar produces 0 power,even if it produced anything before

          Hm odd, might be overtaxing solar then. It really can only do so much on a wider power scale. I never put more than 10% into it and just go full nuke u lure
