The Importance of Organics

[Baron Grazic]

Try retro-fitting a 50 ship Attack Fleet plus their Supply Ships to the latest Engines, Weapons and Shields, and as your Mineral Supplies drop you will quickly see the benifit of the Resource Converter.

In a PBW Game, retro-fitting my ships used ALL my Minerals, Organic & Radioactives that I had stored - 1.5M Resources in total. With the Help of the Resource Converter, I had just enough Minerals to complete the Retro-fit and the ships will be soon heading back to the front.

The Monolith is a good example of why you would want a converter...

ckotchey,
You may try creating a race with
%80 Organics
%80 Radio actives
That is: Subtract 20 pts from each.
In addition,
Check which of your Home Worlds has the lowest Organic production.
Remove it and replace with a more useful facility. This may put you into negative production.
When you need more Organics find a planet with higher Organic production and build a few there.
Do the same for Radio actives.
When you can afford to, do the same for Minerals.
Since you can only build one facility at a time, only scrap one at a time per planet. This makes for micromanagement but it works.
Edit:
Afterthought:
You could place an order for manure at the Cantinna to help with Organic production.
There are also a few Rad patrons.
