Prob a silly question, but...re: Production

Thanks Taqwus...I was wondering why the thing kept telling me I already had a facility that did this when I was adding a SMS when I knew I did not since I had just discovered it. In actuality, I did since I already had a SRF. Now I can open some production space on my planets since this is the case. Thanks again...

Just to follow up, I went back and read what you had typed again. If you have a RF III and a MS III and an EF III and a RS III, then the MS, EF, and RS are not giving you anything, right? You can kill those to build more stuff and not lose anything? You can add a SRF III to the system and delete the SMS III, the SEF III and the SRS III and not lose anything system wide, correct?

Right. If you've got an RF III on a colony, there's no reason to still have MS III/EF III/RC III, since they wouldn't give you any additional benefits... and once an SRF III is built, you can scrap your SMS/SEF/SRC's as well. So I normally research Computers up to 9, but don't bother with minerals/organics/radioactives beyond 3... and maybe not even that if I've gone the Monolith Facility route (a Monolith III plus a good Resource Converter produces significantly more resources per facility slot than a mineral facility, except on worlds with extremely skewed min/org/rad values). The Computers branch is good juju anyway, with Master Computers and all.
