Default Re: Are we absolutely sure....

You are correct, DT, but.....

For the research cost to get there, Miners III are worth far less than Monoliths III because you must research ALL THREE resource trees to gain the 1000, where, with Monoliths you need only research Planetary Usage where you gain other techs as well.

The Monolith facilities, because they'll mine EACH of the resources, are way more efficient overall. The 100 resource difference between the Monolith III and the Miner III is too small. Like someone said below, if we had a Miner IV & V that significantly outproduced the Monolith Facility, we could mine single resource planets because it'd be more efficient then to build Miners V on a planet that only has plentiful minerals, or, in a case where you need minerals very badly.
