Re: Obscure, unintuitive and unforgiving
In NGC5, I have just completed my 16th Ringworld... they will probably never pay back what was invested in them because the number of enemies is decreasing fast, but it was still fun to build them... doing it just because it is possible  |

Re: Obscure, unintuitive and unforgiving
I like to build sphereworlds, too. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment, to reach the technological and economic capability to do so. Especially those trinary star triple sphereworlds! I never build ring worlds because I want to wait until I've researched sphere worlds and get double the facility spaces.  But I have never completely filled up a sphere world because it just takes too long... |

Re: Obscure, unintuitive and unforgiving
Problem, in a game vs. humans, it will end some turn, and it might be too late for sphereworlds. NGC5 has just reached turn 100 and its the first vote for game end now.
Against AI, where you can just continue to show off, sphereworlds are nicer than ringworlds, sure  |

Re: Obscure, unintuitive and unforgiving
In RTH2 pbw game some player will undoubtly finish some sphereworlds before the game ends. I have over 12 sphereworlds in there and I am building them full as fast as I can. I can't wait to see how much it'll produce when filled with monoliths, Mineral scanners (+those 2 other bonus facilities) and system mineral scanners...

Mineral Scanners do not stack with Robotoid Factories (as far as the minerals bonus goes).

Re: Obscure, unintuitive and unforgiving
That is true. But they do stack with system mineral scanner. And I my refference of those 2 facilities were into radioactives collider and hybrid farms.
