Are we absolutely sure....

...that Mineral Scanners don't stack with Robotoid Factories?

I'm not sure at all, but I think I remember reading that the only facilities that stack are the System-wide ones and not the Planet-only ones. If this is the case, they would not (Mineral Scanners are planet fac's, but you knew that already...).

I am not running the 1.27 patch, but weren't they supposed to "fix" the stacking of System Facilities.

For crying out loud, Spyder. If you didn't believe us in the other thread, go test it yourself! I just took a minute (acutal time) and tested it (again). They don't stack.

Scanners and the robotoid facilities didn't even stack before the 1.27 patch. If you still don't believe me, start a high tech game with no one else, build a robotoid facility, then build a scanner. Note the lack of increase in resources after building the scanner. End of test. I'm not sure what the problem is.

It's not that I don't believe you...it's that it just doesn't make sense. I'm also trying to figure out if it was intentional, and if it was, I was hoping that if we made enough noise they'd fix it

not very likely. they use the same ability type, resouce % bonus. its just that the robotoid have one ability for each resource type. the only way to change it would be to create a whole new ability that does the same thing, otherwise you would end up with people being able to add multiple robotoids per planet.

The reason that this doesn't make sense is because it completely eliminates the need to research Minerals, Organics & Radioactives at all. I just need to research Planet Usage to get Monoliths, and Computers to get Robotoid Factories & System Robotoid Factories. Why even bother with the others?
