When that’s the case, accumulate your essence until you max it out. Then pay to upgrade your main ark to the new design. Change every single slot that can host a module, and put a “All Must Provide” in it. Don’t waste production on food-only infrastructures.Īs soon as you have around 500 credit accumulated, go to the fleet screen, and edit your ark.
In the meantime, slowly build your main system (starting with Cerebral Reality etc) with what you have available. Try to avoid pirates, and if you encounter any, just flee. So send your Wheel and your Leecher around, making ample use of your Wheel’s probes (don’t waste them on anomalies yet), to unveil the map around you. With Vodyani, the only things that really matter is the number of planets (your population have a +8 of everything, so it’s always better to have more population, than better bonuses). Ignore anything with less than 4 planets, and don’t pay too much attention on all the FIDSI bonuses of the different planets. When the game starts, your first order of business is to explore the galaxy around you, and try to find systems with 5 planets (or 4 planets if they have resources you really need).
