I'm 99.9976235% positive the Cravers FIDS bonus does not remain if a non-Cravers takes ownership of the system.

A possible change to Locust Points would be to allow non-cravers to slowly reduce number of locust point on a planet over time, but never reducing locust points below the point where they would give a bonus to Cravers again.



So if Locust Points > 40, Reduce Locust Points by X each turn.

Would not razing the system and leaving it for someone else to take means that could be wasting dust on a system which you could keep razing every 29 turns? I was thinking would be useful for scorch earth policies.

In my opinion it is only really something you would do if your trying to keep your happiness in your empire up but want to continue your war. If you use troop invasion you can quickly collect a nice collection of striking worlds that you may not really want and getting the AI to manage them can make it even worse as they love to colonise all the bad planets in your systems before they are ready with decent happiness.

N00B question inbound... take cover!



How does one go about pillaging without invading and ultimately taking over the system?

FIDS bonus doesnt apply to non-Craver races. If the invader happens to be a craver he doesnt "reset" the counter but continues from its current point of decay. And yes, the counter just "takes a break" if another race invades the planet. If the cravers happen to re-capture it it ll continue from the last "saved" point.



Personally I either target Cravers for termination first (say.....within the first 80 turns) or save em for last. At higher difficulty its simply hard to get the jump on em due to their insane growth and expansion rate.

hallo,



I invaded a planet, were below the planet name is a red tag "exhausted" (*or similar, since I translated from my German version)



1. How does a planed become exhausted?



2. What I am supposed to do with that planet? Is there a cure?



tx for hints ...

or....depending on the chosen difficulty level and map layout.....try to cut em off early to prevent em from spreading. Also the exhausted status only comes in after 40 turns or so, so capturing their outposts is a valid strategy too. This is all but impossible at higher difficulties tho, their FIDS bonus makes em one of the stongest opponents then and containing them will be more of a team effort, usually the other AIs jump in too and battle him on several fronts.

I'm pretty sure Locust Points only accumulate if the Cravers (or someone using the Cravers affinity) own the planet. I'm not sure however if the FIDS bonus remains for non-Cravers. Something to take a look at though...

"Exhausted" means (if I recall correctly) that you get -25% FIDS.



There's no cure, because if there was it would basically make Cravers OP.



If you want to plan a galactic conquest, you might just want to save the Cravers for last, because their systems will most likely be depleted.



Also, a question to others: If a planet is "Improved" in the Craver cycle, and it gets conquered, does it remain Improved for the new race? If so, do Locust points continue adding to it?

So the only "cure" is to kill cravers on sight and don't let them get hands on planets. - Still, there should be some expensive terraforming possible, to get those planets back to normal state.



Thanks for explanation.

These planets were captured and overexploited by Cravers at one point. They basically ate everything living and strip-mined most of the minerals. There's no cure.
