Construction analysis

[Wardad]

For Resource Efficeny:
Build a space yard first.
Then build the research III facilitys in one turn.
The space yard will also speed the build on the computer facility.
Build the computer complex when your empire can afford it.

If you would rather burn resources, Then do not build the shipyard.
Build the Research IIs and upgrade later.
The computer complex III can be built midterm.
The upgrades can be done Last on Emergency Build.

Let's hear from the MathaMagicians!

I never build a level 1 computer facility until the planet has 11 matching production facilities in place. You need that many for the level 1 complex to add more production than another production facility in the same slot would.

Level 2 only needs 6 facilities, and Level 3 needs 4.

Right Capnq,

I would also consider the time spent building the computer facility. You could have gained research points from the facilites you could have built in that time.

So, I would definitly wait till the Last slot to build a computer complex 1. I might build a level III complex in the middle of a 30 slot planet que.

Actually, I might drag my feet and build other stuff like a spaceyard or units until I have researched level 2 complex.
