Definitely, the extraction facilities are the way to go. For really long games you might want to scrap one extraction facility at a time and replace it with a monolith. Hopefully by then you will have a spaceyard 3 on the planet to speed up the build time.

The robotoid facilities are much more expensive to build than the (mineral) scanners. The scanners cost more research points to discover.
The robotoid will boost production of all three resources. So overall your better off with the robotoid facility.
BTW, be carefull how many you try to build at once, you could run out of rads and organics.

Only the best bonus is used, but the planet bonus and system bonus do add up.
ex,
planet bonus of +10, +30, +30 = +30.
System bonus of +10, +20, +30 = +30.
total bonus of +60

In my latest Proportions game I was buildind about 20 Megapolises (sp.?) at one time. Before I figure out what is going on, I was out of any organic or radioactive speck in my most galactically advanced civilization. It was the worst ever case of petrolium crisis I ever witnessed (yes, I was alredy here in 70ies, albeit as a small child) !

Geoschmo,

No need to look up the formula for medium tech cost - that one worked. Thanks a bunch!

One other question - do ANY units cost maintenance?

Nope sir. And that is probably their biggest plus, if you ask me.

Great Googaly Moogaly!!! Every planet I have will always have something going in the build queue (barring lack of resources, of course)....
