Re: Exploiting Asteroid Belts
If only you could control what your planet building ships were doing. I think that you should be able to influence what gets made.

Or have it so that created planets are automatically of your home type and atmosphere.

Re: Exploiting Asteroid Belts
I have been using the remote mining/farming/rad robo extractors placed on ships (escort hulls)and sent to asteroid belts but only in systems where I have a colony with a space port.
Space ports process all resources generated within the star system and makes it available for use in the empire. I just figured that without a planet to build a space port any remote extractors I sent to work the asteroids would not generate any resources to be used by the empire. Is this incorrect?

Re: Exploiting Asteroid Belts
Remote mining does not need a spaceport to function.

Re: Exploiting Asteroid Belts
I vaguely remember that there was some kind of limit on vehicles in the sector that can robo-mine. Or was it that only one miner component worked per system? I cannot remember, can anyone clarify this for me? (I'm to lazy to search for it tonite.  ) |

Re: Exploiting Asteroid Belts
I think (man this branch is skinny!) that one remote miner from each ship can mine each asteroid group. So if you had two asteroid Groups, two ships with two remote miners each= 4 mining production of resource. Understanding that the amount of resource for each asteroid group is variable and most likely reducing each turn by one unless you've changed the .txt file.

Re: Exploiting Asteroid Belts
"So if you had two asteroid Groups, two ships with two remote miners each= 4 mining production of resource."
I think it's per sector, per resource. And I KNOW you can put more than one component on a ship and have it work.
So:
Three space stations in one sector each with 3 miners of a single type (one station all mineral, another all organic, another rads) would work fully.
Three space stations in one sector, each with one of each type (1 organic, 1 min, 1 rad per station) would NOT work. Only one ship would mine.
