Chapter 503 What to do if there are too few resources


    On the way back to the dormitory, Zhuge Jun still felt a little aggrieved.


    "No, why!"


    When I think about my gaming experience today, I feel filled with anger.


    Of course, this kind of anger mainly comes from the final ending. It is clear that the resources are released and you can have fun as you like, but the game insists on not letting you play it at the end. Who can stop this!


    But having said that, the previous game content actually played a role in fueling the flames.


    “I don’t understand why Nitiantian has such a design. It stands to reason that most similar games would have to leave an option of resource abundance at the beginning, right?


    "Not only does Nitiantian not have this option, but it also directly blocked the game later. Doesn''t that mean that players can only play it on Sosou Di?


    "That''s unreasonable!"


    The more Zhuge Jun thought about it, the angrier he became.


    Because other similar games often have settings that adjust the abundance of resources from the beginning.


    If an expert wants to challenge himself, he can reduce the resource richness to the lowest level; while a novice player is too lazy to count so many, so he can just open unlimited resources, and just open up and build.


    But "Star Project" obviously did not have this option from the beginning. For any player, the initial resources are fixed.


    Resource slots randomly distributed on the map.


    Zhuge Jun wanted to ask this question at the beginning, but after thinking about it, maybe it was just like those high-difficulty action games. It was because the numerical system was better, so he deliberately put everyone on the same level at the beginning?


    Maybe after the game is completed, there will be a mode for players to enjoy, right?


    But now he has determined, no, not at all!


    In this way, Zhuge Jun looked at the whole process of the game and suddenly realized that this game is really not very enjoyable?


    It can even be said to be quite torture.


    I didn''t pay attention when I was playing, but I just realized it now.


    A large part of this torture comes from the lack of resources, and we have to constrain our hands in construction. You can endure it during the land reclamation period, but if you continue to endure it after passing the level, and you will never see the light of day, then it will be a bit unbearable.


    Can’t everyone just open up unlimited resources and play, right?


    Although official cheating and personal cheating are both cheating, for most players, there is an essential difference between the two.


    "Let''s see what everyone says."


    Zhuge Jun checked the players'' comments on his mobile phone.


    Sure enough, although the reviews on the platform are pretty good and are still "mostly positive" at present, the reputation of the first batch of players has fallen a bit.


    Obviously, the players who initially gave positive reviews had not played the game for a long time. After they first entered the game, they saw the exquisite graphics and details, coupled with their trust in Nitiantian Game, and immediately gave positive reviews.


    But after playing for a day, many players have come back to think about it.


    In addition to the discussions related to "Oath of Luoshui", the most representative comments from players also focus on the unreasonable resource allocation of this game.


    “I think the resource setting of “Star Project” is really unreasonable. Simply put, there are too few!


    “The official may use this setting to force players’ level down, or to reflect the difficulty of the game itself, just like action games like “Ascension” do not set difficulty levels.


    "But this is a business simulation game after all, and the experience is different from that of action games!"


    This statement is echoed by many players.


    Action games do not provide difficulty adjustment options. Although it is not very user-friendly, most players will gradually get used to it.


    Because the difficulty is higher, players'' pleasure in defeating the boss will be greatly increased, and it can even become a topic of conversation.


    But business simulation games are different. With fewer resources, players’ pleasure in building a city will not increase, but will decrease!


    After all, no one would brag, "I built the first construction plant in XX minutes" or "I set up a production line with the minimum resources."


    The biggest joy of business simulation games is to build a majestic city like a wonder.


    But this goal is very inconsistent with the current situation of scarcity of resources.


    Is it really necessary to open an infinite resource hook?


    Or make a mod?


    Or are you looking forward to some magical bug in the game to unlock the infinite resource mode?


    It doesn''t sound very exciting.


    Zhuge Jun returned to the dormitory, tidied up a little and got ready for bed.


    Before going to bed, I randomly clicked on the live broadcast website, hoping to find a live broadcast of "Star Project" to hypnotize me.


    "Huh? Chen Tingquan is still on the air. Let''s see how he plays."


    However, as soon as Zhuge Jun clicked on Chen Tingquan''s live broadcast room, he heard a loud voice, which almost frightened him so much that he dropped his phone.


    Fortunately, the lights in the dormitory had just been turned off at this time, and no one else was asleep, otherwise a severe beating would have been inevitable.


    "They say Project Star is difficult? There are very few resources? Let''s see what happens!"


    Zhuge Jun quickly turned down the volume on his phone, and then looked carefully at the name of the live broadcast room.


    That''s right, it''s Chen Tingquan''s live broadcast room?


    Why was it replaced?


    Looking more closely, I discovered that it was Chen Tingquan who was playing a game with another anchor, so he was blocked.


    Another anchor''s name is "Park Director". Judging from his self-introduction, he seems to be a player who is keen on playing business simulation games.


    Although the number of fans is not very large at present, the stickiness of these fans seems to be pretty good and their opinions are relatively positive.


    "When the director is here, there will be blue sky!" "A minute''s silence for the silicon-based little people."


    "Is the park going to comet? Looking forward to it! Hurry up, I can''t wait!"


    Zhuge Jun watched for a while and found that the anchor named Park Director had originally promised to start live broadcasting "Star Project" during the day, but he did not start broadcasting during the day because of other things.


    It didn''t start broadcasting until about 11 o''clock. In order to compensate the audience, I promised to broadcast it for a while longer today.


    It just so happened that Chen Tingquan was not off-airing at the moment, so the two of them planned to play together.


    Chen Tingquan already had some game experience, playing the role of the head of state, while the park manager was playing the game for the first time, but was an experienced player in similar games, so naturally he played the role of the consul.


    The audience is quite looking forward to it.


    Zhuge Jun was a little disapproving. He was just a host, what other tricks could he pull off?


    The resources in "Star Project" are extremely limited. Many experienced players tried it on the first day, but failed to solve this problem.


    Zhuge Jun felt that most of the park managers could not do it either.


    …


    "Brother Yuan, let me tell you, this game is different from other simulation business games. The initial resources are very few!


    “I have played two games before, both because there were too few resources and I couldn’t play anymore. You have to be careful.


    "As the head of state, I will set my development goals lower first."


    As Chen Tingquan talked, he began to formulate a development plan.


    The park manager is planning and constructing while learning the basic operations of the game.


    "Okay, I understand, I''ll do some research first.


    "The first industrial area and residential area...we have it, let''s build it."


    The park manager started his own operation.


    After Chen Tingquan had roughly finished his own affairs, he took another look and was shocked on the spot.


    "Hey! Brother Yuan, why did you build it like this?"


    The park manager was speechless: "What do you mean, why am I so mean? Brother Chen, why are you starting to attack me personally?"


    Chen Tingquan quickly explained: "No, I mean, you can''t build it like this!"


    Park Director: “…”


    Chen Tingquan found that he was getting darker and darker, so he had to continue to explain: "No, I mean, there is a big problem with the placement of these two buildings!


    "Brother Yuan, look, there is nothing wrong with building this mining site here, including the smelting plant and manufacturing plant behind it. There is no big problem with these. After all, it is an industrial zone.


    "But Brother Yuan, why are you taking pictures of a residential unit so early? And you''re taking pictures next to the smelting plant?


    "There is no need to build this thing so early. In the early stage, these silicon-based villains can go to the executive hall to rest."


    After all, Chen Tingquan has played two games, and he is still very clear about some basic opening methods.


    The park manager made two mistakes at this time, and of course both of these mistakes can be attributed to the residential units.


    The so-called residential units can be understood as residential buildings, which are places for silicon-based little people to live.


    In the game "Star Project", there is no need to build residential units initially, because the ruling hall, as a very huge initial building, itself has the ability to carry a certain population.


    There will be no need to build additional housing units until the consulate''s maximum population capacity is reached.


    Not only that, the Executive Office also has some special features, one of which is that it can purify all pollution internally.


    But this is not possible for residential units, which must be equipped with special purification equipment.


    So what is the use of purifying pollution?


    The silicon-based villains in this game also have a lifespan, and the pollution produced during the smelting and processing of minerals will cause them to contract some chronic diseases, thus shortening their lifespan.


    Therefore, most players will do this:


    At the beginning, we will not build residential units and let these silicon-based villains live in the executive hall. After the population increases, we will choose an upwind location far away from the industrial area to build a residential area, which is a cluster of large number of residential units.


    In this way, even without building purification equipment, the health of these silicon-based villains can be roughly guaranteed.


    And if the residential area is built close to the industrial area, then purification equipment will have to be built. This is an additional expense and is very uneconomical.


    Therefore, in Chen Tingquan''s view, the park manager''s operation was very problematic.


    However, the first residential unit has been photographed, and if it is demolished now, it will take up some manpower and lose some resources, which is still a bit uncomfortable in the early stage.


    However, the park manager didn’t care: “Brother Chen, are you the executive officer or am I the executive officer?


    "Just listen to me, you''re right, I built it here on purpose."


    Chen Tingquan was stunned: "Built it here on purpose?"


    This is indeed a bit difficult to understand.
