Default Re: Is there a max for Resource Converters

To my knowledge there does not seem to be. I recall converting millions of resources per turn in a certain Proportions + FQM PBW game. Of course, there could be some limit, but it is just really big.

I think its the same max that applies to trades and gifts; however much you have in storage.

There is a limit, I think. IIRC, if you order a whole ton of conVersion at one location, the planet gets several orders in its queue which it chugs through, but very quickly.

Default Re: Is there a max for Resource Converters

Well, I do convert also quite much resources in a turn, but I haven't converted 4 million yet. Best I think was 3 million. There should be possibility find "super storage" which could include 100 000 resources. That would be nice, would it not? By the way, Tesco, against who you are going to go? My fleet is growing bored

Default Re: Is there a max for Resource Converters

As far as I know there is a limit per order of about one million converted target resources. If you try more, the conVersion will stop at this amount. However you can give more than one order per turn and therefore there is no practical limit. In my current game I convert about 9-10 millions per turn and I just have click several times the resource conVersion button and give the order for about one million.
