Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!
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.

Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!
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.

Odd, that is my strategy as well. Wonder why you empire does it so much better.
Perhaps it is your statues you are building.

Well, if we're talking total resources, I'm over 1.4 million, so I guess I'm not doing so bad after all  . Even if I'm 6th out of 9 players!! But some of you have previous experience with this kind of game, so it's to be expected.
Hey everybody, attack Ragnarok!! He's only got 80 colonies!! Even I have almost all my planets colonized!! For bases, I'm well over 100.
And now for my request: Does anybody know a better way to use those pesky planets that have about 20% of each resource? So far I've been putting a Space Yard, Atmospheric Mod Plant, and then Monoliths. But is there something better to put on those planets?? It just seems to be a bit of a waste of space for very little return. And no, I don't need any more fleet/ship training centers, mineral scanners/system mineral scanners, or storage.
And that brings up another question About how much would be a good amount of resources to have in storage. Right now I have about 1 million minerals, and about 500K for the organics and rads. Is that about right, or not enough??
Thanks a lot for helping me out here  I owe you guys!
