Best sequence for UoP please

[yeehi]

After I have Industrial Automation and established 6 bases, what is the best build sequence for Univeristy of Planet?

My bases have no facilities. No recycle tanks possible yet, but can do Childrens Creche and Recreation Commons and build Terra Formers.

Should I build lots of crawlers for each base (how many?), stack 3 to a forest square, and then build base facilities?

Or what?

Only one crawler can extract a resource from a square and only if the square is not being used by a base worker.

Generally, build recreation commons when you need them to prevent the base from going into riot. If the recreation commons is not needed, you are wasting 1 credit per year.

Build terraformers (at least one per base). These terraformers should build a road network linking the bases, cultivate just enough farms to keep your bases growing and build forests.

I would suggest that you build lots of crawlers and then when you have enough crawlers build The Weather Paradigm, The Virtual World and The Planetary Transit System secret projects.

Your crawlers can extract minerals while you're waiting to accumulate enough crawlers for a secret project. If every crawler has a forest square, use your formers to build mines on rocky squares. (A mine and a road on a rocky square will yield 4 minerals for a crawler to extract.)

If your bases are starting to need recreation commons, you would want to build The Virtual World first because then your free network nodes would also suppress drones.
