Hi all, SO I have restarted the same game multiple time to try and work out the way to get your energy production to meet your energy needs. First, I started and found the closest gas giant and concentrated all tech to get to energy collectors. Only to find that this Jupiter size planet only produces as much energy as one powerplant..... energy ran out before I could redirect my strategy. So, then I restarted and found the closest habitable world with reasonable energy and created an outpost, shipped fin...

How is the planetary AI so far? And when the AI gets galactic awareness, will it be able to successfully invade other planets? This is such a complex game, I'm just wondering if the AI will be able to handle it and give the player a good challenge?

Maybe we have to fix it ourselves Thanks for any help...

Do I need to put them into automate mode or something? I am able to command them to survey, but then what's the point of hotspots?...
