Thanks for your replys. I guess that's what I'll have to do. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I remember the Arquilians, I saw them and said oh, organic -- *yawn* organic armor and weapons. Heh, they have so much aggressiveness and defensiveness they really cut me down. Who would have thought their favorite weapon was .......transmission ends

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">IMO, that entire section of the manual shouldn't have been included. For me, part of the fun of the game is discovering how the different alien races behave; the manual gives too much away. Most of those "thumbnail" descriptions are lifted verbatim from the AI_General files, anyway.

I have noticed when researching the extraction facilities that I can research past level three but I can never build past level three.(and it doesn't seem to have any extra effect on my output)

What's going on here?

Thanks

After level III you get a different set of facilities, that if built increase the amount of resources you get. Ex: build one and it increases the minerals made on that planet by 10%.

However, they're mostly useless, since they are expensive to research and there are cheaper, better alternatives- namely the Robotoid Factory from the Computers tech tree.

Ah,that explains it. Thanks!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just remember, robotoid factories not cheaper to build than the mineral scanner et al. They take longer to come Online, and time is money.

That said, I hardly ever research them. But if I got them from a ruin ... well, why not
