A with special aptitude in, and, Reed Richards was taking college-level courses when he was 14. He attended such prestigious universities as the, and the fictional. By the age of 20he had several degrees in the sciences under his belt.It was at that he met. Reed had already begun designing a starship capable of traveling in hyperspace. Sharing his plans with his new roommate, Grimm jokingly volunteered to pilot the craft.Also while at State U he met a brilliant fellow student,.
In Richards, Doom met the first person who could match him intellectually; regarding Richards as his ultimate rival, Doom became increasingly jealous of Richards. Determined to prove he was better, Doom conducted reckless experiments which eventually scarred his face and would lead him to become Doctor Doom.During the summer months, Reed rented a room in a boarding house owned by the aunt of a young woman named, who was an undergraduate student at the time. Reed fell in love with Sue instantly and began courting her. Ultimately, Reed was too distracted from his work on his dissertation due to his romance with Sue and decided that the best thing for the both of them was to move out of Marygay's home.Moving on to Harvard, Reed earned in and while working as a military scientist, all this by the age of 22. He also worked in communications for the Army. Three years later, in his mid-20s, Reed used his inheritance, along with government funding, to finance his research. Determined to go to and beyond, Richards based the fateful project in Central City.
Susan Storm moved into the area, and within a short time, found herself engaged to Reed. Reed's old college roommate, Ben Grimm, now a successful test pilot and astronaut, was indeed slated to pilot the craft.All seemed well; however, when the government threatened to cut funding and cancel the project, Reed, Ben, Sue, and Sue's younger brother, agreed to sneak aboard the starship and take it up immediately. They knew they had not completed all the testing that had been planned, but Reed was confident they would be safe. Ben was initially skeptical about the unknown effects of radiation, while Reed theorized that their ship's shielding would be adequate to protect them.It was on Reed's initiative that the fateful mission which had, and accompanying him into space took place.
When their ship passed through the they found their cockpit bombarded with nearly lethal doses of. Reed had neglected to account for the abnormal radiation levels in the belt's atmosphere. The cosmic rays wreaked havoc on the starship's insufficient shielding and they were forced to return to Earth immediately. When they crash-landed they found that their bodies were changed dramatically. Reed's body was elastic and he could reshape any portion of his body at will.
At his suggestion, they decided to use their new abilities to serve mankind as the Fantastic Four. Reed was chosen to lead the group, under the name 'Mr. He later told, by way of a, that the reason he suggested they become adventurers and gave them such outlandish costumes and names as 'Mister Fantastic' and ' was that he knew they would likely be hated and feared for their powers without such an over-the-top public image.This history has been changed over the years in order to keep it current. In the original comics, Richards was a veteran of World War II who had served behind enemy lines in occupied France, and the goal of his space mission was a manned space flight to the moon. This was later changed to getting there before the and to explore the interstellar areas of the red planet and beyond. Also, Reed originally states that he and Sue 'were kids together' and that Sue was the 'girl next door' who Reed left behind to go fight in the war. This origin story was, many years later, altered so that Sue was thirteen years old when she first met Reed, who was in his early twenties, at her Aunt Marygay's boardinghouse.
Current official Marvel canon has since altered this origin story by combining elements of both—it eliminated the large age gap but maintained that Reed and Sue did not meet until their late teens at Aunt Marygay's boardinghouse. The change in age was an editorial decision made in 2013 as Reed developing, several years later, a romantic interest in a girl he first met when she was thirteen years old was deemed inappropriate.Leadership of the Fantastic FourThe early career of the Fantastic Four led Mister Fantastic to a number of discoveries, and had their first encounters with many unusual characters. In the team's first appearance, they battled the. They then battled the. Soon after that, the team encountered the. They then had the first of many battles with.
They later journeyed to a subatomic world. Soon after that, they encountered. They then battled the.As the team leader, Mr. Fantastic created numerous exotic devices and vehicles for the team to use such as clothing made of ' so that it can be used with their powers safely. Furthermore, he often leads the team into daring expeditions such as into the in addition to opposing evil. Also, he has felt personally responsible for Ben Grimm's grotesque change and has labored off and on to reverse it permanently.Under his guidance, the team went on to become Earth's most celebrated band of heroes. Together, they would save the world countless times.
Ever driven by his quest for knowledge, Reed is believed by most to be the Earth's foremost intelligence. There is little he cannot create, fix, or understand given time. The patents and royalties on his inventions alone have funded the group over the years.However, there are drawbacks to his association with the team. Chief among them is the team's violent encounters with, who believes that Reed was responsible for the accident that scarred him.
Doom has never forgiven Reed and has sworn revenge. Doom has even gone as far as transforming Reed into a monstrous freak, attacking Reed's children and attempting to seduce Sue.Subplots and story arcsAfter many adventures as the Fantastic Four, Reed married Sue. Not long after that, the team encountered the for the first time.
They next encountered and the. Reed then opened a portal to the for the first time. Soon, the team first battled the.
Before long Reed and Sue had a baby, young; the team battled right before Franklin's birth. Franklin was a with incredible powers, but, due to the cosmic ray alteration to his parents' DNA, they manifested while he was still very young (in the Marvel world, most mutants like the get their powers while teenagers). Franklin appears to have power that can rival a member of the; the power of a god in the body of a small child. The couple briefly separated, and Reed further alienated Sue by shutting down Franklin's mind in order to prevent his power from causing global catastrophe; Sue Storm initiated divorce proceedings but the two were reconciled soon after.Reed also saved Galactus's life during the course of his adventures. He then bought the.
Later, he was tried by the for saving Galactus's life, but the charges were dropped when briefly granted all those attending the trial a moment of 'cosmic awareness' that allowed them to understand that Galactus was necessary for the continued well-being of the universe. Reed's battle with prior to getting his powers was recounted. Just after that, Reed was reunited with his father in an alternate timeline. Some time later, Reed and Sue retired from the Fantastic Four, and then joined the, although Reed's past experience as leader of the Fantastic Four meant that he had trouble adjusting to following 's lead regardless of his respect for the other man. Eventually, Reed and Sue did rejoin the Fantastic Four.In the course of fighting an alien called Hunger, was seriously injured.
The Fantastic Four were also part of the battle against Hunger and Doom asked for his old enemy to take his hand. At that point they both disappeared in a flash, leaving nothing but ashes.
It would appear as if the two sworn enemies had fittingly died in each other's hands. However, unknown to anyone else at the time, Reed and Doom had actually been thrown back into the time of barbarians and onto an alien world by a being called, Reed's grandchild from an alternate future, the child of Franklin Richards and, daughter of. They were so far into the past, and with no technology, that even their brilliant minds couldn't find a way back home. Doom was captured and held prisoner by Hyperstorm. Reed wandered aimlessly for about a year. Meanwhile, the rest of the FF recruited as scientific advisor.
They even confronted an insane alternative version of Reed called the Dark Raider who was traveling from reality to reality, destroying all the various versions of himself after his own failure to save his world from Galactus in their original confrontation. A while later, the remaining members of the FF along with the, and found themselves trapped in the same era as their Reed and Doom. They found Reed but faced a new problem: during his time alone, Reed had resigned himself to the reality that it was impossible for his old friends to stage a rescue and attacked them but soon realized that these truly were his friends. After returning to their own time period, he sought out as he was the only being in the Universe who could defeat Hyperstorm. Upon Hyperstorm's defeat at the hands of Galactus, the FF returned to the present day where they continued their lives, not only as a team, but as a family.
Onslaught and Heroes RebornShortly after their return, the FF were confronted by a being called. Onslaught took control of an army of and invaded, hunting down every mutant being he could find. Onslaught wished to add the abilities of the godlike Franklin Richards to his own. Only through the apparent sacrifice of the Fantastic Four's own lives and that of many of the heroes in the Marvel universe was Onslaught finally vanquished.
The heroes would have died then and there if not for Franklin, who created an alternate reality for them to reside in. Completely oblivious to what had taken place, Reed and his compatriots relived most of their lives. In their absence the Fantastic Four's headquarters, was annihilated by a super villain group called the, posing as heroes,. One year later, Franklin returned with his family along with the other heroes from the parallel reality. Reed was overjoyed to see his son again, but he and the rest of the FF found themselves without a home, moving into Reed's storage warehouse on Pier 4, overlooking the East River. Making this their home, the Fantastic Four continued with their lives, eventually managing to move back into the Baxter Building.
It has emerged that Reed is one of the members of the ', unknown to his wife. He is also in possession of the 'Power' gem of the.
Pro-Registration. Main article:In Marvel's miniseries and event, Reed Richards is one of the leading figures, along with Iron Man, on the side which is in favor of the. He speculates that this will lead to conflict with his wife, which came true in issue #4 of the miniseries when a of, created by him and Tony Stark, went out of control and killed and nearly killed all the rest of the Secret Avengers until Sue Storm stepped in and saved them. Soon after, Sue left Reed, along with Johnny, to join the Secret Avengers in hopes that it would drive Reed to end the conflict quickly.
In #535, which takes place shortly before the events of #5, demands to see the conditions inside the detention facility designed by Reed to hold unregistered superhumans. After being escorted to and from the prison by, Parker returns with more doubts than ever about whether he is on the right side and asks Reed why he supports the Superhuman Registration Act, a question Reed answers by telling the story of his paternal, Ted. A professional writer, Reed remembers his uncle as 'funny', 'colorful', and 'accepting'.
As a boy, Reed loved spending time with Ted. Unfortunately, Ted was also 'an eccentric' and 'stubborn'. Because he had a career in the arts and because he stood out, Ted was called before, imprisoned on charges for six months, and was unable to find work after he'd served his sentence. He was even shunned by Reed's father. Ted lost everything, which Reed says finally 'killed him' without going into greater detail. Richards opines that his uncle was wrong to take such a stand, to pick a fight he couldn't win, and to fail to respect the law.
However Fantastic Four #542 reveals that the real reason for supporting the registration act is due to his development of a working version of 's fictional concept. His application of this science indicates to him that billions will die in escalating conflicts without the presence of the act. In the final battle of the war, he is shot by, saving Sue Storm's life.
With Reed on the brink of death, a furious Sue crushes Taskmaster with a telekinetic field. Reed survives, however, and Sue returns to him in the aftermath of the battle, having been granted amnesty.
Seeking to repair the damage done to their marriage as a result of the war, Sue and Reed take time off from the Fantastic Four, but ask and the to take their places in the meantime. World War HulkWithin the midst of Civil War, Reed Richards learned from a brief conversation with that the Hulk is not on the planet where the Illuminati attempted to exile him. After a conversation over the good the Hulk has done for humanity, Reed tells Iron Man of what happened to the Hulk and also states that the Hulk has friends, and 'may God help us if they find him before we do'. Within the aftermath of Civil War, Reed Richards had been keeping tabs on Mastermind Excello and when the learned about the Hulk's exile, Reed Richards sends out to confront her when he sees her meeting with Mastermind Excello. In #1, Reed is shown with Tony Stark as Iron Man.
Both men were trying to convince to fight the Hulk, thinking that the calm aura that the Sentry produces may be able to stop the Hulk's rampage. In World War Hulk #2, with the aid of the rest of the Fantastic Four, Storm, and the Black Panther, Reed is able to create a machine that projects an image of the Sentry and recreates the hero's aura of calm. He uses the machine on the Hulk just as he is about to defeat the Thing, but the Hulk knows it is not the real Sentry and destroys the machine. In a last line of defense, Sue Storm tries to protect her husband by encapsulating the Hulk in an energy field while pleading with him to spare Reed. The Hulk does not listen and is able to easily exert enough strength against her force field to cause Susan to collapse and experience a nosebleed from the stress, before she dooms Reed to the Hulk's wrath.Reed is later seen among the various heroes that the Hulk defeated so far, within the depths of the Hulk's Gladiator arena located within.
He and all of the heroes are implanted with 'obedience disks' that are used to suppress their powers. These disks are the same that were used upon the Hulk during his time on Sakaar. The Hulk orders Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic to face off in battle. Richards, after having the upper hand on Stark, is then given the thumbs down by Hulk, instructing Richards to kill Stark. However the Hulk spares their lives, showing them that he proved his point to the world. They survived the encounter by Hulk's mercy and the timely intervention of the Sentry.
The Illuminati are partially cleared from the responsibility of Sakaar's destruction when, one of the Hulk's alien allies, admits he saw the Red King forces breach the ship's warp core. Miek kept quiet to initiate what he felt was Hulk's destiny as the 'Worldbreaker'. Secret Invasion. Main article:Mister Fantastic was at the 's meeting discussing the threat of the Skrulls when the Black Bolt with them was revealed to be a Skrull in disguise.Mister Fantastic and Hank Pym autopsy the body of the Skrull who impersonated Elektra (with Reed pretending to be seeing the corpse for the first time, thus keeping the secret of the Illuminati). After completing the dissection, Reed claims to have discovered the secret of how the Skrulls have been able to conceal their identities. Before he can elaborate, ' reveals himself to be a Skrull and shoots Richards with a weapon that violently leaves his elastic body in a state of chaotic disarray similar to.
In Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four #1, it is shown that a Skrull assumed Reed's form in order to successfully ambush and capture Sue Richards, to facilitate an attack on the Fantastic Four's headquarters.A conscious but still mostly shapeless Reed Richards is seen being forcibly stretched in all directions to cover the floor of a medium-sized arena aboard a Skrull ship, with all of the seats filled by Skrull onlookers. He is freed by, and then travels with her to the and uses a device to reveal all the Skrull invaders present. After helping the Avengers to defeat the imposters and return to New York, Reed aids the heroes and villains of Earth in their battle against the Skrulls. Dark ReignMister Fantastic aids the New Avengers in the search for the daughter of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. He and the rest of the Fantastic Four are magically reduced to television signals by the chaotic activities of the Elder God Chthon, to prevent them from intervening, though after Chthon is defeated, he and the other three are turned back.Norman Osborn has sent H.A.M.M.E.R. Agents to shut down the Fantastic Four and capture them, expelling them from the Initiative and stripping them all their rights.
Taking place a week from the Secret Invasion, which has caused Richards to seriously reevaluate his own life and the life he has built for his family, resulting in turbulent internal conflicts. Richards, as he takes a long, hard look at the life, is prompted to construct a machine that is capable of bending reality itself, to do so. Agents from H.A.M.M.E.R. (sent by Norman Osborn, a man well aware Reed is one of the few that have intellect exceeding even his own and thus pose a great threat to his carefully constructed shadow world) arrive just as Reed activates the machine, interfacing with the Baxter Building's power supply, resulting in an energy flactuation that sends Sue, Ben and Johnny back to the prehistoric era, fraught with dangers, which manifest in the form of the First Celestial Host.
Reed searches for answers which can only be found in alternate timelines as the three find themselves in a super hero Hyborian-age civil war; Franklin and Valeria are the only ones available to confront the agents Osborn sent. Richards studies other parallel Earths to see if any found a peaceful solution to the Civil War, which resulted from the Superhuman Registration Act.
Reed peers into different worlds, some more bizarre than our own, to see what they did differently. This is an insightful look into where the Marvel Universe has gone in the past 'year' (in Marvel time) and to see who was at fault, if anyone. Reed meets with the other five Illuminati to handle the problem. Ultimately, after seeing about a million alternate Earths, he had concluded that there was no way for the Civil War to be resolved but that he, as the cleverest man in the Marvel Universe, had a responsibility to put things right.
But before turning the machine off, he searches for other realities where they have the same machines he is using; the machine locates them and the people he finds tell him that they can help him.Reed Richards reappeared in Mighty Avengers #24 refusing to give an invention previously left in the care of the Fantastic Four, following 's untimely death, causing the Wasp to lead the team of Mighty Avengers to retrieve the device. In the next issue, Pym's attempting to knock down the Baxter Building (due to Loki's manipulations, likely) sows further displeasure and leads to a direct conflict between the Fantastic Four and Loki's Mighty Avengersstretching across to Mighty Avengers #26.
This conflict eventually ends in a new base for the Mighty Avengers and a shockingly disturbing alliance of the Dark Reign; the next issue of the Mighty Avengers will show a new character, a ruler known as, one more powerful than any other in the universe, to the point he had to be erased from history, and how his return will impact the planet and the cosmos beyond, in the. After the Secret Invasion and some time into the, in the, when Blastaar is about to open the portal to Earth, on the other side in Camp Hammond, Star-Lord and the Guardians tell Reed Richards and others to never open the portal, or they will face the wrath of Blastaar. Mister Fantastic agrees and says they will not open the portal and then asks who they are. Star-Lord replies, 'We're the Guardians of the Galaxy' before leaving. Future FoundationTragedy strikes the team when Johnny is apparently killed in the Negative Zone. As the Fantastic Four recover from Johnny's apparent death, Mister Fantastic grows disillusioned at how scientists see science and its applications.
Therefore, he creates a new team, the, to help create a better future for mankind. However, the team's initial tasks are complicated when they are forced to deal with the 'Council of Reeds', a group of alternate versions of Reed Richards who lack his morality or family that became trapped in the FF's reality after an accident with Reed's dimensional portal. The Quiet ManAfter Johnny is returned and the team resume using the Fantastic Four name, they are systematically attacked by the mysterious, a figure who reveals that he has been behind many of the villain attacks the FF have faced over the years, now stepping forward to take a more active role as he shuts down Johnny's powers, frames the Thing for murder, has Reed and Sue Richards declared unfit guardians for their children, and then abducts Reed with the intention of framing him for a series of attacks committed by the heroes created in Franklin's pocket universe. However, Reed is able to defeat the Quiet Man's plan to proclaim himself the hero who defeated Reed's 'attack' on the world when he realizes that the - one of the Quiet Man's allies - intended to betray him, forcing Reed and the Quiet Man to work together to deactivate the Psycho-Man's equipment. Secret WarsDuring the storyline, Reed is one of the few survivors of Earth-616 to come through with his memories intact, hiding in a 'life raft' with various other heroes and eventually released by Doctor Strange. Learning that the new 'Battleworld' is now ruled by Doctor Doom, who has absorbed the power of various Beyonders and Molecule Men to become a virtual god, Reed and the other heroes disperse across Battleworld to come up with a plan.Reed eventually starts working with his counterpart from the Ultimate Marvel universe who calls himself. The two find themselves disagreeing on their methods, with Reed preferring to find a way to save the world while Maker is more focused on killing their enemy, Reed countering his other self's accusations that he is weak by musing that he simply has things to care for outside of himself.
In the final confrontation, Reed and the Maker discover that the source of Doom's power is the, but although the Maker attempts to betray Reed by forcibly devolving him into an ape, Reece reverses the Maker's attack and turns him into pepperoni pizza. When Doom comes down to confront Reed, Reed challenges Doom as Reece temporarily deprives Doom of his new god-level powers, Reed proclaiming Doom to be nothing more than a coward for taking control of what was left of existence rather than trying to reshape it. Inspired by Reed's words, Reece transfers Doom's power to him, with Reed recreating the former Earth-616 before he, Susan, their children, and the rest of the Future Foundation move to use Franklin and Reed's powers to rebuild the multiverse. Return to Prime EarthMister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and the Future Foundation were later confronted by the Griever at the End of All Things after Reed had expended most of his Beyonder-based energies while Franklin was left with only limited reality-warping abilities. Due to the Griever causing the collapse of 100 worlds, the Future Foundation had to make a stand even after Molecule Man was killed.
When Mister Fantastic tricked the Griever into bringing their Fantastic Four teammates to them, Thing and Human Torch were reunited as every other superhero that was part of the Fantastic Four showed up as well. Faced with these numbers, the Griever was eventually driven back when most of her equipment was destroyed, forcing her to return to her universe or be trapped in this one, while the heroes were able to repair the damaged equipment to create a new teleporter to send them all home. Powers and abilitiesReed Richards gained the power of elasticity from irradiation by cosmic rays. He has the ability to convert his entire body into a highly malleable state at will, allowing him to stretch, deform, and reform himself into virtually any shape. Richards has been observed as being able to utilize his stretching form in a variety of offensive and defensive manners, such as compressing himself into a ball and ricocheting into enemies, flattening himself into a trampoline or a parachute to catch a falling teammate, or inflating himself into a life raft to aid in a water rescue. He can willfully reduce his body's cohesion until he reaches a fluid state, which can flow through minute openings or into tiny pipes.
Reed is also able to shape his hands into hammer and mace style weapons, and concentrate his mass into his fists to increase their density and effectiveness as weapons.Having an elastic-like texture allows Reed protection from damage. He can be punched with incredible force, flattened, squished, and still re-form or survive without any form of sufficient injury.Reed's control over his shape has been developed to such a point that he has been able to radically alter his facial features and his entire physical form to pass among human and non-humans unnoticed and unrecognized. He has even molded himself into the shapes of inanimate objects, such as a mailbox. He rarely uses his powers in such an undignified fashion. However, he appears to have no qualms about stretching out his ears, taking the shape of a dinosaur, becoming a human trampoline, or inflating his hands into pool toys to entertain his children.The most extreme demonstration of Reed's powers is when at one point he was able to increase his size and mass to Thing-like proportions which also increased his physical strength. Assuming and maintaining these shapes used to require extreme effort.
Due to years of mental and physical training, Reed can now perform these feats at will. His powers (and those of the ) were also increased when they were exposed to a second dose of cosmic rays. Maintaining his body's normal human shape requires a certain degree of ongoing concentration.
When Reed is relaxed and distracted, his body appears to 'melt in slow motion' according to Susan Storm. Being forcefully stretched to extremes during a short span of time (by a taffy-puller-type machine or a strong character, for example) causes Reed to suffer intense pain and the temporary loss of his natural elastic resiliency. He possesses other weaknesses too; a great shock to his body - for example, from the likes of Doctor Doom when he constructs around him - can make his body so rubbery he loses motor control.
Enough energy can reduce him to a liquid state in which he is immobile.Mister Fantastic's strength comes more from the powers of his mind than the powers of his body; indeed, he once told that he considers his stretching powers to be expendable compared to his intellect. Some stories have implied that his intellect may have been boosted by his powers, as he once visited an alternate universe where his other self-had never been exposed to cosmic rays and was notably less intelligent than him, though purely human versions of Reed that are as or even more intelligent than himself have been shown, particularly among the. Has commented that Reed's ability to make his brain physically larger (via his elastic powers) gives him an advantage, though this seems to be meant more as a joke. That said, scenes from the same issue show Reed 'inflating' his skull as he calculates the power output of Tony's Repulsor-battery heart implant.For virtually his entire publication history, Mister Fantastic has been depicted as one of the most intelligent characters in the. A visionary and an inspired, he has made breakthroughs in such varied fields as, and, among others. However, he is never afraid to admit when others have greater expertise in certain fields than him, such as recognizing that possesses greater knowledge of radiation, that is a superior, or that Spider-Man can think of a problem from a biology perspective where he would be unable to do so, since his expertise is in physics. Richards has earned in,.
His patents are so valuable that he is able to bankroll the Fantastic Four, Inc., without any undue financial stress. Is rarely effective on him and when it does work, it wears off sooner than it would on a normal person, due to what he describes as an 'elastic consciousness'. However, this intelligence can be a handicap in his dealings with magic, as it required an intense lesson from and facing the threat of his son being trapped in Hell for Reed to fully acknowledge that the key to using magic was to accept that he would never understand it.Richards is also an accomplished fighter due to his years of combat experience with the Fantastic Four, and has earned a black belt in judo. Following the Battleworld crisis, Reed has acquired the powers of the Beyonders that were once wielded by Doom, but he relies on his son Franklin's creativity and new powers to help him recreate the multiverse after the incursions destroyed the other parallel universes.
Reed, alongside his son, Franklin and the Human Torch working on the Fantasticar in the FF's Antarctic base, after returning from an interstellar adventure. (Fantastic Four vol 3 #1).Although the Fantastic Four have numerous devices, crafts, and weapons, there are some items that Reed Richards carries with him at all times.Fantastiflare: Launches a fiery '4' into the sky that is used during combat situations to let other members of the group know their location.Uniform Computer: Like all the Fantastic Four's costumes and the rest of Reed's wardrobe, his suit is made of 'unstable molecules'. This means that the suit is attuned to his powers, which is why Johnny's costume doesn't burn when he 'flames on', Sue's costume turns invisible when she does, and Reed's costume stretches with him. The costume also insulates them from electrical assaults. In addition, the team's uniforms are also, in essence, wearable computers.
Their costumes have a complete and system woven into the material of the uniform on a molecular level. This forms a network with the entire team, providing a constant, real-time uplink of everyone's physical condition as well as their location and current situation. The suit is capable of displaying data and touch-pad controls on the gauntlets. Its sensors can track all of the team's uniforms and provide a picture of their immediate vicinity.
The suit has an intricate scanner system which can detect things around the wearer, from how many people are in the next room to what dimension or planet they are on. Reed can also up-link the bodysuit to any computer by stretching his fingertips to filament size and plugging them into an I/O data-port. With this, Reed can establish a fairly comprehensive of any computer's protocols.

Hour after hour just trying to get a single core doc' so I can find seeds so I can do a fruit greenhouse so I can feed my people so I have one more option to help stop them rebelling while I'm trying to build better housing and progress.Once the rebellions start the game is pretty much collapsing around me and I'm flatout just trying to keep everything operational. It's becoming a total circle-jerk and just isn't fun.I'm going to assume I'm doing it wrong and I'm kinda hoping somebody can point to a.decent. help/support manual/document given the wiki is as good as useless.Yep, sounds like I'm whining and I'm sorry for that, but I can't recall saying 'ffs' at a game every 10 minutes - in 30 years of gaming - just trying to find out what you're supposed to do when you get 'paradoxed' by this. Hi Silky, we need to do a wiki-revision, but we are waiting for the next major patch (2.99) to arrive before going into this. There will be in-game assistants to help you and most of the tutorials will need a rework after the release.Regarding morale, this guide should help you:One important thing to avoid is to let a colonist go very low on morale. The lower morale a colonist has, the more will cost you to restore it.To track your colonists stats you can use Health panel (pressing 7). It allows you also to order by any criteria by clicking on table headers.
If you craft treatments, you can directly restore morale (or any other stats).Another thing you can do is to expell an ill char:D, there is not penalty on doing this by now, but, after 2.99 version this will change.Hope it helped. Originally posted by:I cannot seem to build the Cosmo Corp building no matter what I do.
Are there builds that you cannot have based on your alignment? (I went green)You need diplomacy tech with Cosmos before being able to build their Corp building.To improve your diplomacy techs you need influence, for Cosmos, you can obtain blue with your Eco corp building (If I recall it right, you need 2 green to get 1 blue, only 2 because they are friends:D.
To get yellow influence from green you would need 5, since eco and industrials are not so friends).Another way to obtain influence for the low level colonies is to purchase wildcard influence, available in the corp market-tech tab you chosen affinity with. (but, for what I have read, this seems to change by a rep system in the coming patches)Also, relating to the above, I have 10 core documents and not a single Core invention doc. Very frustrating. Seems a matter of luck. Originally posted by:Super computer infrastructure may help on this.The social policy system we are working on, will have a word here as well. Supercomputer doesn't really help, sadly, since it's based on a chance per production completion, and colored core doc productions are few and far between.I'd suggest white core docs to be obtainable from any HQ by converting 25 white invention docs. That'd give the player both a solid estimation of how long it's going to take before the next core doc and the ability to produce one quickly when needed (assuming they have the prerequisites).
Say, if an epidemic approaches and you need that medicine production chain set up quickly.
