Bloody Hell... Since one of the things our Engineers dug up on Nergal was Life-Support Infrastructure, the idiot AI has been shipping in colonists to live there.

The radiation level from our nuclear carpet-bombing is causing 35% of the colonists to die each year. And then the AI ships in more colonists to replace them.

Isn't there a setting to change so the planet isn't colonized. I thought I seen it somewhere.

On the Economics window, on one of the tabs (I think the Civilian Economy tab) there is a checkbox to mark a colony as Military Restricted, which prevents the dumbass civilians from shipping colonists to your radioactive hellhole xenoarcheological dig site.

That is what an talking about.
 
Yes, I had already found the setting. I fixed the problem once I became aware of it, and started shipping the colonists out again.

It was just an example of "stupid computer tricks".

That's a lot of Munchers. Each one carries 20 Robot Mines. Nine more on the ways.

The excavations are complete. In total, we found millions of liters of rocket fuel, thousands of minerals and life-support infrastructure, dozens of mines, automated mines, construction factories, and fuel refineries. We also found several less common installations... 5 maintenance facilities, 3 ground unit construction facilities, 3 ordinance factories, 2 financial centers, 2 terraforming installations, 2 deep space tracking stations, 3 refueling stations and a cargo shuttle station.

No new techs, no research labs.

All in all, a worthwhile prize but not a game-changer.
 
In C# I feel like I get more techs from salvaging the wrecks and the ruins tend to be more of an economic boon with the free minerals and installations. Probably more balanced than the VB6 days when ruins were so crucial because you would jump ~2 tech levels from exploiting a big one, but perhaps not as much fun.
 
The free minerals were particularly useful. No Corundium, though.

Still, we have 42 of our 99 Munchers mining a 90% Corundium source right now, so it's not as if we're in a Corundium crisis.

With the new Armor techs finished, and with the combat experience gained from our fighting in the DX Cancri system, we have designed some new Ground Units.

Our base unit is now the 25,000-ton Brigade (instead of a 5,000-ton Battalion), and three of these Brigades plus a Division HQ make up a Division.

Mobile Infantry Brigade:

Our Military shipyards are mostly tied up refitting our fleet up to Internal Confinement Fusion Engine standard. Our Civilian shipyards are still building Orbital Mining Platforms... now up to one hundred and eleven of them, the equivalent of 2,220 robot mines.

Since our advanced bases at the colonies are beginning to come into service, I have dispatched six of our twelve scout ships to refuel at DX Cancri and then fan out to explore the nearby star systems. Culise will be pleased to see some action again.
 
New ground formations look good. One thing to check is the required ranks, and it might be time for a discreet renaming of ranks while waving our hands furiously. a MAJ is probably not who we want commanding our brigades, flavor-wise, but the point of using 25,000-ton base formations is to stretch limited leadership as far as it can go so we have to anticipate our level-1 ground commanders leading those brigades.
 
One of our scouts has found a class-0 world (actually class 0.03, but close enough).
