Finite Resources How does stuff work
 

1) Value Improvement
2) Plantary Resource bonus facilities
3) System wide Resource bonus facilities


Well how do they work ???

Isn't this the 3rd or 4th time you have asked this Tesco? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Resource bonus facilities work exactly the same as in infinite resource.

I believe that value improvement plants increase the value of the planets by the listed percent, literally. So if you have 2423421 value and a 3% facility, after 1 year the value goes to 2496124 (assuming there is no resource use during that time).

So does this mean that if you have a 3% value improvement facility, and you use less than 3% per year of the resources you have on the planet, your planet will never run out?

Also, if your planet is at 0 resources, the value improvement planet can never increase it, right?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Correct on both counts. Once you build enough value improvement plants to match your resource extraction, a finite resources game becomes an infinite resources game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
