Maybe those numbers need some tweaking. Open for suggestions.

I like the numbers for the facilities. You have a good balance between cost and production. But I don't like having to research all three resource techs to get them. I cannot remember a game where I had time to do that. I think people would go for monoliths before they would do all that. I would prefer maybe a new tech area that you need to build the combined faciliites. Make it cost 50K research points or something.

I don't like monoliths. The three differnet resource types are a basic part of the game. The three colony types, mining, farming, and refining, add variety, flavor, and interest. Finally, rewarding specialization makes the game more strategic.

Monoliths detract from all three of these so I'm relegating them to an ancient ruins technology in the Balancing Modpack. I want the player to have to manage their resources in a way that varies with their overall strategy.

Hey Junkie I like the idea.

I am a believer in the Monolith 3's as well.

Especially when you have the value improvements going.

Having them combined is like expanding without moving. Esp. Religious Race's.

I like your idea with combining the research levels. Makes sence to me.

Nothing beats a 24 size planet with 23 monolith's and 1 robatic factory. Esp. when the resources are maxed out at 255%.

Now if it has a moon for defence WooHoo.


I think i would like to incorperate that into the TescoMod.
