Interesting spawn

Post by Blu3wolf »

So I think this is the most interesting spawn I have had with RSO. Normally RSO tends to give me a lot of space before running into aliens, but I guess not always!

Multiple alien bases within visual distance of my starting area... eep!

hmm. The forum has cut off the edges of the screenshot.

I guess I will have to make as little pollution as possible and research military as soon as possible!

Did you lower the region size in the config? normally that shouldn't happen.

Nope. region size wasnt touched.

To the south is empty, exactly what I am used to with RSO. To the north is the alien cities...

spent the last couple hours running no more than 2 drills at once and using a single assembler to (slowly) get military and turrets...

EDIT: interestingly to the north resources spawned a lot more than those in the south. To the north looks almost like a normal game, and the south like what I am accustomed to from RSO.

Its getting better and better...

So now the question is whether I blame it on the RNG hating me or my fiddling about with adding brine pools to RSOs spawning.

It's technically possible - they got triggered in region closest to start. You get about 100x100 region in center as enemy base free for sure.
Other possibility is that something failed and RSO did not manage to disable the built in generator.

Can you check coords of those bases by coming closer to them and using debug mode(F5)?

nearest base (north east) is at 130, -100; in chunk 4,-4.

I did travel north east slightly to get to the minerals too - I actually spawned on the western shore of the large pool south of my setup.

EDIT: ah, again I fail to take into account the limited width of the forum. Hmm.

EDIT2: solution!

Radars have stopped searching out new sectors. Not a whole lot of prospects for expansion immediately - although right now I dont really need expansion, as my current holdings are extremely under-utilised.
