I've been playing the new abandoned world for a while since the ether update and I've been looking forward to collecting and using ether as LIS. However, it appeared that there was no way to gather the new resource. Even upon updating my IOS game to 85, I still see no way to gather ether on My LIS colony except buying fro gbt, and the update doesn't include any indications that LIS were given this ability. Correct me if I'm just not advanced enough in my map to see it. I'm at the point where I'm almost ready to build basic dig sites. I have no industry in clay, wood, oil, obsidian, or uranium as of yet either.

Even if we could just gather ether to a basic warehouse temporarily via ether collector bots, I think that would be enough until a use for ether is fully fleshed out for LIS and Zolarg. Should be a very quick and easy addition since it would only require the addition of one bot and a little programming to turn the basic warehouse into a collection point for ether. If you wanted ether to be gathered a bit later in the game, you could just require that a brick or alien warehouse be built in order to have a collection point for ether.

Again, not trying to be complacent here, I was just really looking forward to this feature and was kind of let down.

I was wondering the same, but browsing through the reference page and reading the releasenotes. It's clear only reptiles can harvest ether. So for LIS it works the same way as for humans.

Thanks for looking it up for me. I look forward to the update where LIS gains this ability then.

I don't think lis Wil get it. Only buying it or import like human. And only to build the advanced cloning facility.

Really now? What makes you think that LIS won't get it? Just because a status update says that currently reptilians are the only ones that can gather it doesn't mean that they will always be the only one to gather it. It was just a statement about the present, not about the future to come.

Also, why wouldn't LIS get to gather a resource that literally covers almost half of the abandoned world map? If you're not going to give ether to LIS, then why put them in a world full of it? Are you trying to piss people off?

Whenever you hand someone a TV as a gift, they're assuming that the remote to the TV will come along with it, because how else will they be able to enjoy the TV without having to get up every 5 minutes to change the volume or channel? The point is, if you're not going to let LIS gather ether, why add it to their world in the first place, and why make them jump through hoops to get it when it's right at their feet? Why dangle something in front of people that you're never going to give, it just doesn't make sense.

With the right amount of resources (some millions), i have made a Reptilian abandoned world, able to collect 1-2 millions ether every minute, in 1-2h, is not a big deal, really.

The only boring side, the Reptilian can only gift 3M at the time.. :/

I honestly like the idea to relegate at specify race/planet specific resource, interrupt the monotony.


EDIT:
probably it was just a bug, now with the only structure "Chamber of Kings" present in maps, and not the previous "Chamber of our Fathers" simultaneously present, the max gift is 500M.

Yeah sorry about my rant from yesterday, I was in a bad mood and the possibility of LIS not getting the ability to gather ether put me over the edge. It wasn't directed at anyone, I was just more or less venting.

I hadn't read it till now.
You are right, at present time it's not possible, but it might become possible.
I rather like the resources that are specific for one map only to be used on that map and not exchangeable with other civilizations. It would make people play those maps more and build more commonwealths, not just make them as resource maps.
