CURSE YOU SHITTY COMPUTER
YOUR INSOLENCE AND BAD OUTPUT DEVICES HAVE DENIED ME GAMING FOR THE LAST TIME

Fits your avatar.

1. Game Parameters > Reduced Height Windows

Oooohh, right, yeah that too. I forgot about that.

I'm beginning to think I should add that to my sig.

Alternatively, hijack the first post.

Hah, already have. As for the alternate suggestion... If only, if only? I requested that Magnnus add it to the OP, but xe hasn't been on since the beginning of last November, so I don't have much hope on that front.

How to run Aurora in a playable state on small monitors:
1. Game Parameters > Reduced Height Windows
2. Taskbar > Pin to right of desktop
3. Download and run ResizeEnable

Well don't I feel fucking stupid.

Also,  make sure you can turn on reduced height windows. That cuts the required resolution down to 800.

Sorry if any of that is my fault. I just get a bit annoyed about explaining it every dozen or two pages because Magnnus isn't around to add it to the OP.

My monitor is on max resolution and I can't fit the big windows in it (1600x900), sucks cause I really like seeing the required materials for a ship while I'm designing it...

Oh wow thanks. XD didn't see that thar.

Heh.

Okay, yeah, vision spinning. Time to go to sleep.

Would really like to get into this game properly. Are there any seriously by-the-hand blow by blow tutorials, in the vein of TinyPirate's tutorial for Dwarf Fortress for this?

If you read back in this thread, there is a video tutorial series and a (long) googledoc explaining how stuff works. If you check the wiki there is also a long multi-part tutorial which takes you through most of what you need to know to get started (it's slightly outdated, but I don't think anything is wrong in there).

I'd recommend the video tutorials lavender is doing, supplimented by testing things yourself and asking questions on here, as the original tutorial covers perhaps half of what you need to know. It can be helpful, but if you only use it to learn the game, you'll be spending a lot more time working things out by trial and error.


Exercise in fun: Wiped an NPR 19 ship fleet in 20 seconds with an 8-ship frigate squadron and 5-ship CL group.

Exercise in frustration: Coming up with names for the 14 Gliese, 3 Groombridge, 5 Luyten, 5 Ross, and 7 Wolf designated stars, so I can tell where things are happening without consulting my galmap every time I take a 5-day turn.

Question: can you tow an orbital habitat? I want to build my terraformers as orbital habitats (cheaper to build terraforming modules than terraforming installations), but all my factories are on Earth.

[Eagle_eye]

yes
