5 tips to start
Here are five essential tips and tricks to help you on your journey of creation and stewardship, particularly focusing on those fascinating beings known as humans who now inhabit your world.
1. Harness the Power of Human Spirits
At the dawn of your planetary creation, you are presented with the choice of a Human Spirit. These spirits imbue your world with unique buffs that extend beyond the initial settlement, enhancing the entire planet. The spirit you select is more than a mere starting boon; it is a pervasive influence that can shape the trajectory of your planet’s development. Choose wisely, as the spirit’s benefits can significantly bolster your efforts across various regions and settlements.
2. Master the Art of Nodes and Boosted Nodes
Nodes are pivotal in the allocation of resources and the expansion of your settlements. Placing a node within your borders immediately grants you its resources, but placing it just outside will pique the interest of your villagers, prompting expansion. This strategic placement can yield delayed, but substantial, benefits once your borders encompass the node.
Moreover, nodes with boosts—known as boosted nodes—are particularly valuable. By placing biotica on these nodes, you can not only increase resource yield but also stimulate your humans’ creativity and industriousness, leading to the invention of new tools and technologies. Inventions derived from boosted nodes can be traded between settlements, provided they have achieved sufficient wealth, offering a significant boost to your world’s progress.
3. Unlock the Secrets of Symbiosis
Symbiosis is a cornerstone of effective biotica management in Reus 2. This principle revolves around the harmonious interactions between different biotica, enhancing resource yields through strategic placement. For example, placing a pit viper biotica, which grants 5 Wealth, next to a critter biotica can activate a synergy that provides an additional +15 Wealth. Such combinations are the key to maximizing the potential of your planet’s resources.
4. MasEngage in Quests and Unlock Drafts
Each settlement will present you with quests shortly after a nomad has established it. Completing these quests is crucial, as they unlock drafts. Drafts are essential tools for acquiring new and advanced bioticas, allowing you to further customize and optimize your biomes. By diligently fulfilling quests, you gain access to a broader array of bioticas, enhancing your ability to create a thriving and diverse planetary ecosystem.
5. Embrace Metaprogression and Experimentation
With over 200 bioticas at your disposal, the possibilities for experimentation and discovery are virtually limitless. The rating of your completed planet influences how quickly you unlock new bioticas and game features, encouraging you to explore different combinations and strategies. Each run offers a fresh opportunity to experiment with new biomes, giants, and bioticas, leading to unique outcomes and insights. This iterative process of experimentation and metaprogression ensures that every planet you create is a step towards mastering the art of world-building.
