Imagine if Bay12 created a country...

Oh, you mean the Bay12 space colony?

Or the mountainhome?

I'd still like to know how to fix morale. Do I just need to leave the ship in orbit over a colony for a certain period of time?

Okay, something's not right. I have my geosurvey ships set for 13-month deployment times, since they have enough fuel capacity for 400 days and I always have them refuel when they get below 40%. Overkill, in other words.

But my first geosurvey ship has just spent double it's deployment time in space and still had around 90% fuel reserves. I went ahead and brought the ship in for refueling anyway, hoping to at least reset the clock, but the crew's morale is still in the tank. Resupplying didn't help. And I can't overhaul the ship because "it is classified as a freighter and freighters do not need overhaul". What do I need to do?

Increasing that number seems to have increased the weight of the ship. I take it this is for additional food, water, etc?

I finally started playing this again, now that I have a monitor that can fit the entire game without resorting to outside programs.

First question: I've had a geosurvey vessel running around the past four months, checking out asteroids (which I notice are automatically named now). Now I'm getting warning messages about crew morale decreasing because they've been deployed for too long, or something. How can I solve this? I'm used to just turning my geosurvey ships loose with a conditional refueling order, but this changes things up some.

Sweet, I finished PMMM. That was...a much more positive ending than I anticipated. Not exactly happy, but not the "everyone dies, GG" I half-expected.

I found PMMM to be more "neat" or "interesting" than "good," which was... alright, but I kind of wish they'd tried to make an actual series of it rather than a collection of ideas.

But if had turned into a series it probably would have gone downhill fast.

On the bright side, I know of a pen-and-paper RPG system that can emulate PMMM and grimdark magical girls in general.

Probably, but it feels like they had a lot of potential that didn't involve or require making things artsy or unexpected or weird or subverted or whatever. I have to believe there was some room between This Is Art and Stereotypical Magical Girls But They All Die.

For the latter, are you talking about Magical Burst? I seem to recall being underwhelmed by it, but I don't remember it well.
