A few questions after playing the game for a while

Hi,

After playing the game for a while (200 plus turns), have the following questions, which would be great if people could help with:

1)         - Where can you find Hyper silicates and arnor spice to harvest. Have not come across them on map.

2)         -  Maybe linked to above, but I research ‘Terrestrial Harvesting’ which unlocks ‘arnor spice’ farm.  Where do I see the  ‘arnor spice’ farm,    could not see it as something to build on my planets.

3)       -  Also research ‘Starbase Networking’ which unlocks ‘Zero G Experimentation’,  Again where do I see ‘Zero G Experimentation ’ .

4)        - When you successfully invade a races Capital does that automatically mean they will surrender?

5)         - What technology gives you more Leaders?

 Many thanks for any help.

1) They are trade resources on planets. Depending on map size and configuration, you can end up with none in the whole galaxy.

2) Linked to 1 (They are upgrades for trade resources).

3) Economic Starbase modules. Find them on starbases.

4) If you have surrenders turned on, usualy yes but not always.

5) Government branch, Intersteller Governance for example.

A warning. The AI can surrender to your enemies instead of you. They can surrender to anyone, but they tend to favor whomever can take care of their people well (often their friends).

Hyper silicates, and arnor spice are on the planets. The farm requires the resource. The market which is unlocked by certain governments will probably give you the resource with money, unless by an off chance it is not in the Galaxy, which you then either to get a bigger map, or more common resource settings in the pregame options.
