Re: Newbie Questions
If you are lazy like me you should have some storage in case you lose some resource producing planets or need to rapidly expand your fleet or upgrade you empire, 400-500k is usually more than enough. You can also spend the extra resources on units and ships like sj says and mothball them if you get in a jam. I like having a cushion.
I agree that in the standard game organic and radioactives are generally not a problem, unless you are an organic race or build a lot of facilities like the converter at one time. Even with your race set to 80% you will usually have enough of these.
Some other characteristics that I have found can be reduced are environmental tolerance (80-90%) and happiness (90-95%). There are facilities that can increase happiness and I have yet to find out what effect a low tolerance has. I usually edit these down on the AI and add to some other area.
