Fully optimizing all of that is hard, but your first 2-4 planets have a really basic algorithm you should follow!
1) All planets: only build City Districts when you need more housing or building slots.
2) All planets: build districts before buildings UNLESS you have a building that specializes something this planet is good at.
3) Home Planet: This is where you build whatever the fuck you need right now. Low on alloys? Industrial district. Eventually you'll specialize this one, but that's a very mid-game activity.
4) Planets 2-4: Look at what the planet is good at. That's what it should specialize in. Most planets are good at EITHER one kind of district (like mining) OR one kind of building (like science). Rare planets are good at both, but you generally want to pick one and just fill in spare slots with the other.
5) Specialized Planets: Build as much of that thing as possible plus the buildings/districts that boost that thing or provide its upkeep. Ideally you have one specialized planet for each major type of resource by the mid-late game.
6) All Planets: Pop Growth is king. Buildings that boost pop growth or assembly go on every planet unless you have a damn good reason not to.
7) All Planets: Any remaining building slots should be Unity, Science, or Fortresses.
8) Optimization: This is largely based around turning off jobs that produce fewer resources, like clerks, so that those pops are free to do other things. You do not need to do this below Admiral difficulty.

1 tagsEight Sleep just released their new Pod 4 heating/cooling mattress topper (and also their full mattress). Looks pretty good, 2x the cooling power and appears to use real temperatures in the app instead of the -10...10 scale they used before. I don't think that's a big enough change for me to upgrade from my 3, but if you were on the fence, it's a good time to get the new one now.
The page says the new snoring detection is only for the Pod 4 mattress, but my Pod 3 cover this morning told me I was snoring. That's new.

1 tagsFallout New Vegas Mods
I'm halfway through the show and of course I want to jump back into the world on PC. Holy shit, the mod scene is insane and after 90 minutes of trying to get Viva New Vegas to work I'm finally calling it quits. I've patched steam to install the game to a new folder, added exclusions in windows, downloaded 144 mods through some installer, got mod 2 organizer going, nexus account created, and I'm getting errors every time I try to start it up. Hats off to all the people who made the game better but without Steam helping to support the installation of these mods it is a giant cluster of troubleshooting. After giving up on the mod organizer, I loaded back up Steam and hit play and it seems like a lot of mods, DLC, and various upgrades are working but I'm clueless at this point how this game is running.
If this game starts crashing should I move on to Fallout 4 or Fallout 76? Are either modern and fun to run through? -

Usually I hate the PS1/VHS retro looking games because it never looks right, but this game pulls off the analog look really well. Try the demo. Pretty enjoyable, weird and creepy, cyberpunk, low poly.
