Default Re: Ringworlds with finite resources

RWs and SWs both have 500kT of resources, or far less than a good homeworld. value improvement plants do indeed function, a vlaue 3 took a sphereworld from 500-515-531kT of each resource over 2 years of operation. however, if you loaded it with monolith facilites, it would probably use far more than this.. it would probably be worthwhile to stick a value improvement plant on your homeworlds though, as they tend to start with 1-2mT on normal or good starts (if i recall)

Default Re: Ringworlds with finite resources

as a related note, you cant really port a map you created for a noromal game to a limited resources one, as each Ton of resources in a limited game represents 1% on a normal one. so planets will have squat for resources if you bring a normal map over. if you export a map from a finite resource game, you will see that each planet has hundreds of thousands of resources.
