I have 1.5 resources because I made some mistakes at the beginning

Otherwise I would have well over 2 by now. However, I am starting to catch up

Oh god I am way behind.

I won't even say how many I have...

So tell me, what is the secret to starting off well?

A Mineral Scanner on all 10 Homeworlds + System Mineral Scanners bags about 750 K Mins on HW's alone.
You must have done some colonizing by now ?

Colonizing, what is that? I didn't know we were going to play that way...

But seriously, I am closing in on 80 colonies at this point. I guess waiting for space yards to complete has kept my production down early.

I believe I have System Mineral Scanners built already but I don't know about individual scanners on the home planets yet. Will check next turn.

Only 80 colonies? I thought I was slacking when I picked up all 182 a few turns ago. I've finally reached the point where I can keep all queues unpaused (including my 100+ orbital space yards). The Spoo Empire Resource ConVersion Corporation must love me.

Alas, it seems I'm slacking in production with only 1.1M minerals. I suppose I shouldn't have built the atmospheric modification plants first. Oh well, next time.

Yeah, that is why I said I am doing badly in this game and yet still having fun. I am in Last place.

I have all my planets unpaused as well but obviously that is not very many. Production is really starting to pick up now and I will catch up sometime. I hope.

(We need more smilies!)

Err... I didin't think that I would have started well because I made some mistakes early game. But mostly my strategy is to build space yard, athosphere modification plant and monoliths after that.
