Luxury Resource Slider

Everyone knows that the hallmark of a great game is the number of sliders it has.


With that in mind, I was wondering if it's possible to have a slider for luxury resource generation. I'm a fairly casual player and I find it frustrating that Tier 2 and 3 luxury resources are randomized. That is, it's not guaranteed that a particular Tier 2 or 3 resource is available in any particular game. I understand that this helps with replayability and helps guide a player's choices, which is why I think there should be a slider for luxury resource generation. Namely, Randomized (current setting) on one side and Inclusive (all are available) on the other.

On a slightly related note, I was thinking that luxury resources dealing with manpower and trade need an overhaul. I'm not sure if pros feel the same way, but folks I've talked to tend to ignore "space potatoes" and "space glitters". I just feel they're underutilized and could benefit from an overhaul. Or perhaps remove them altogether to make room for all the other luxury resources in one game (see previous paragraph).


Thoughts?

How about also having multiple spots on the slider in advanced option?

  • Clustered (spawn in certain star clusters; i.e. current spawn method)
  • Balanced (evenly distributed around the galaxy, but not clustered)
  • Chaotic (completely randomized)
