I linked a tutorial about increasing technology faster.
Another good tutorial.
A couple points:
Those are good points that I hope people read. If I wind up redoing these tutorials after the games released I'll put that in there.
@SSStreetFighter:
have you given any thought to civ-specific tutorials?How to best maximize population growth and double ships as Mimot?Growing Yor without the resources (yet)?that kind of thing?
I might move on to that. I have had trouble managing the mimot myself.
I find the Mimot challenging as well. I've found that I have to place more happiness sectors with them, as they grow so fast they reach planet capacity far before I can move them off. And of course, food is more of an issue for them as well.
It can be difficult to get enough Calm ideology, but the last one of those removes overcrowding disapproval, which helps the Mimot tremendously.
Yeah the last time I tried to play Mimot in .55 the option to build irrigation networks mysteriously disappeared. That was a huge problem. Might have been just a glitch in the game I'm trying to get on the new version.
Playing the Mimot has been the most pivotal in lessons for me, in managing food and crime.I don't like the Drengin at all. Don't know how to play them.
Another really good way to do better at research is build the "Bob" Wonder, it requires that you research Strong AI Tech, and adds 300% to the base research at ALL of your Core worlds, plus nice adjacency bonuses to neighboring tiles. See the following Discord message, it also gives the list of Techs that you need to research to get to Strong AI Tech.

Build the Bob Wonder next to several other Buildings with high levels of Research and get a lot of research.
see this for a screenshot of my HW, in 2313

I have both the Bob Wonder and the Ascension Gate, plus a lot of other Research Wonders and Buildings built on my HW. Look at all of the bonuses to research that I am getting on my HW.I am playing as the Corporate Sector, and I share my Home Sector with 4 other Races, i.e. so I am not getting all of the research points produced in my Home Sector. I did conquer one of the Races sharing my Home Sector.
When I rushed built the Ascension Gate to get this Screenshot, I also got a Tech Victory for my game (combined with everything else that I have done and researched in that game).
I am only continuing to play this game because I am waiting on 0.65 to start a new game.
I suppose I am also eagerly awaiting the new release.Influence means almost nothing without financial gain, and it seems this is now reflected upon my immature strategies.
Does anyone know when .65 is coming out?
Regarding the Memory Center, would it be a good idea to reserve a central spot for it even though its adjacency bonus is quite low? In my last game I got an 80 percent boost from it which was by far the highest individual building but with a better location I could probably push that to 100.
@Tue .. I usually reserve a spot for it, with a standard research district as a "fill-in" until I get it. The 5% per adjacency adds up nicely with other improvements.(edit) by which I mean, I get a +1 (+1/adj) bonus, until I get a +0 (+5/adj) bonus. Both the standard district, and the memory center, give away a +1, so replacing a high adjacency area is very worthwhile
Probably sometime this coming week, i.e. the week after the Thanksgiving holiday (in the USA), since they just released a list of the new changes/additions/new Races/ corrections, etc.
Yeah I do the same
Take a look at my screenshot (see link https://discord.com/channels/299942486095167489/841714306626093116/913557296943075360) of my HW with the Bob Wonder:
I am getting a +420% bonus to research on my HW from Bob (that is correct Four Hundred Twenty %). (I am getting other boosts to Bob from neighboring tiles).
Not only that, ALL of my Core Worlds are getting at least a 300% to their research from the Bob Wonder.
My next best gain was a +83% from Four Research Districts.
The Bob Wonder is by far the most useful single Research Building or Wonder in GC IV.
That's some bonus 😳
I haven't gone for Bob yet, now for sure I will. I cannot invest enough energy to do so until the newest release.
what are the new Races?
For .65 it's the Arceans and Drath.
You have to research Strong AI Tech.
Weak AI, Precursor Relics Analytics, Xeno Computational Theory, Precursor Relic Profiency, Strong AI.
Some of them are Rare Techs that are hard to get offered as Tech choices to research.
Cost 800 Production and 5 Promethion.
I built multiple Industry (100 production each) in the HW Ship Yard to speed up construction.
The new Supply ship (coming in 0.65) will make constructing it easier.
