they look like a good faction except that i have to say with the +2 nutrients in fungus and the +2 energy in fungus that this would make them too powerful becuase you would get 4-2-4 production out of fungus. maybe make it +2 fungus nutrients +1 fungus energy -1 fungus minerals
also i have never used AcEdit but why do you have drone 1? talent 1? i don't understand this maybe you can explain it to me. do they cancel each other out?
but all in all i really like the idea of a bunch of farmers on Alpha Centauri. the whole creating an agrarian society is a really kewl idea

Iprobably can take out +1 energy in fungus, but +2 nutrients is not bad, considering how long it takes to get something out of the fungus. It might provide some people an oppertunity to use the fungus early on or someting. About the 1 drone 1 talent, that's what ACEdit put in there.

so does the one talent and the one drone cancel each other out? you don't have drone problems or have alots of talents do you? i don't use acedit i just manually change the files. two other questions do you get a research bonus where it says research, 1 and why did you choose to give your faction biogenetics instead of centauri ecology. since they are farmers it seems like you would want them to be able to build aditional formers ASAP. also if you gavegave them centauri ecology they would get +1 to nutrient production in fungus
yeah if you change it to where they just get +2 nutriants in fungus and no energy then that would probably be about right
