Moving Green Belts to Gleba
Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2025 6:47 am
Hello devs and fellow engineers,
I’d like to respectfully suggest to the developers moving the green "Turbo" transport belt technology from Vulcanus to Gleba.
Right now, Vulcanus is stacked with strong incentives, such as improved mines and foundries, cliff explosives, and a number of other technologies that make it an attractive first-pick planet. In comparison, Gleba feels underwhelming, despite its unique theme and mechanics.
Gleba is all about speed, efficiency, and managing perishable agricultural products. Green belts would directly address one of its core challenges: moving goods quickly before they spoil. Just as Fulgora’s electromagnetic plants complement its identity as the construction/assembly planet, and Vulcanus’s technologies reinforce its role as the raw material production powerhouse, placing green belts on Gleba would align perfectly with its role as the “logistics” planet.
This change, along with the corresponding recipe change from tungsten to synthetic fibers, would not only make Gleba more viable as a first destination but also give its gameplay a stronger, immediate payoff when researching its tech, much like the other planets. It seems like a natural fit both thematically and mechanically.
Thanks for considering, and for all the work you’ve put into making the planetary system feel distinct and rewarding! I truly believe this change would be beneficial in every way, finally fixing Gleba's biggest problem. I appreciate all feedback for this idea!
