I'm lost. My colony has 100% corruption and I don't have Empire Administration building blueprints.
edit: never mind, got a blueprint from my Empire and now have 0% corruption. Still lost though.
Well you didn't respond to my message so I didn't know you were from here. I'll send you the information I sent Ranged66. Also they shouldn't tech disclosure newbies... I prefer to send the top prints for relevant categories because it gets confusing.
I have reproduced the message I send to new Bay12 players below for convenience:
How's it going?
Some basic stuff to mention:
On your homeworld click Development Setup from the row of buttons on the same level as the red Disband button. Pick Urban Centers. Local Laws to the right pick everything except controlled media and martial law. Taxes should be 0/0 for now. The top left should say Democracy, Undeclared, No Group in descending order. Monthly wage should be 4000. Buy Storage on the far right and get enough to hit 10,000,000. Should be like 993000 or something. I'd recommend applying to the only Empire in the faction. A Giant Member. Annoying name but can't change it. I'll send you the top tier Entertainment Facility, Hospital, Police Station, and Mall and School. Build 10 of each of the things. Then check on the left where it says Malled People. Divide by 10, divide pop by that number, build that many Malls. After a turn passes, you can see turn times by going to Player Relations Starlog and clicking Starlog Pager which makes a popup, see if you need more buildings. Except Malls since we already know how many you needed.
Ah, also you'll want food. The trade station on the homeworld should have some. Local Trade on the top set of buttons. 1 food feeds 10 people per 24 minute tick/turn. So you want 60000 and then 60 ticks a day so 360000*10 = 3.6million. The homeworld has high fertility so if you want you could build Farms yourself and grow your own.
Corruption for single colonies starts at 400000. Food will offset all your costs at this point so you'll have 0 income. Taxes won't work because you have 100% corruption. I'll send you an EA which will handle all your corruption up past 1 million pop. It is quite expensive but probably worth it.
If you were ready for a deep, deep dive, we could show you how to found and population pump a new colony, and you could choose not to build malls or the EA and move 500k or so pop to a new colony. If you want to do science I would recommend this. However you probably can't compete with my science so you'd mostly be practicing for a later round. Warfare won't start for a while, maybe 2 weeks or maybe a month. Instead of doing science you could do mining, although we have a pretty good miner, scouting, although the empire has gotten a lot of scouting done, or you could aim to min-max your population growth.
The last one is probably the most powerful for new players.
I can walk you through whatever you decide to focus on.
Also I'm going to send you the prints you need, 1 by 1, even though you already have them, so you see what is good.
