Help me

[waytodawn]

I have lost 10 of my 22 planets to the xeno and im out of ships and money what do i do ? Ps. Im playing on hard.

I'm not sure what the problem specifically is.

How was the morale of colonies? Are you getting a lot of negative political conflicts? How is your empire's income?

Welcome to the forum waytodawn. Glad to give advice, but we'll need a bit more info.

Answering Resistors questions about colony morale, political conflicts and empire income is a good start.

If you need help finding that info, we can help.

To be honest, you may not be able to save this game, but it certainly makes sense to understand where things went wrong before starting a new game.

I have 0$ and im not earning a thing my average morale is 2. Should i quite ? Or not ?

The morale of 2 has a lot to do with your low income. The lower morale in your colonies, the higher the maintenance costs, and the less net income each colony produces. Morale is lowered either by overcrowding (not enough housing units) OR insufficient spice (not enough spice halls or other sources of spice).

Oh ok thx for the help but do i quit or not ?

I would quit and start a new game if I were you, waytodawn.

Some advice that might prevent similar situations in the future: When starting a new colony, a factory should usually be the first thing you build. You might be overpopulated for a few turns if you build a factory first, but it is worth it, as your production wouldn't be able to keep up with the population and demand for habs otherwise.
If possible, you might want to subsidize the first factories for colonies, except for Thulun and Cadar, as they build fast anyway.
