I have a question for those with recyclers:

How much recources do they bring you?
They look interesting, but I'll have to research 2 more combustion techs, who are hidiously expensive (total 30.000 Deeut ? , so I doubt I need them anytime soon.

Any info on their usability would be welcome.

I'm still raiding close to home, but generally bring in enough to be able to research a decent new tech each time I log on.
This is part of my under-the-radar strategy: You get points for the resources you own, but I'm sure that since you only use them to get techs, then once you've got the tech you don't have as high a score. So with many techs, and enough stuff to keep me going, but not too much, then hopefully I shan't attract the attention of anyone too good for some time to come. With a tech advantage, then I'll be able to concentrate my resources on building this to take the pwnage to them.

Welcome to the newest member of the family: Nova Zembla
(that's your family too folks )

Not enough fields...dump it!

[Skanky Burns]

Keep it as a resource sink until you reach the colony limit. Dumping it now gains you nothing.

[C0ckney]

blimey, those poor colonists must be freezing their nuts off *brrrr*

[Skanky Burns]

Nothing wrong with the cold.

But saves you the investment in it til then. I'm just quoting what I suspect are good players on the forums. Could be wrong though. Especially can argue how well you are doing at the moment.

And why do the cargo ships not hang back in combat? Grr. Lost one on this cow.

If you just reinvest the current production in the colony, it doesn't cost you anything except time. Scrapping it now saves nothing. Sure, it won't produce a great deal without investment for a few days, but better getting something in a few days rather than nothing.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Surely you are joking about that cold planet.

Just wait until you try to build some solar plants on that one.

I'm being hindered because my intital planet was a little chilly (not quite that bad). I'm at lv15 solar just to produce what my uni 3 planet produces with a lv13. Teh Unfaire.

[Skanky Burns]

Solar plants aren't affected by distance to the sun / planet temperature. Their production is soley based on plant level. Check the formula thread.

Solar sats, on the other hand...

Yeah, I've read that too.

But they are big dogs, and probably have quite a few colonies running.
I OTOH am in desperate need for crystal and Deuterium. The D-production here is 30% higher then on my main planet.
I can ferry C and D fast to my main planet.

3rd: I only need mines here, and at this stage of my development I have the feeling that once I have a level 14 planet, it pays of to start a new colony first before upgrading any mines.

So, I think it will serve its purpose for many weeks to come.

my 2 cents.

PS: I don't think I'll ever build SolSats, they appear very cost-inefficient, and they are vulnarable.

[C0ckney]

i take a perverse pleasure in destroying people's solar sats

[germanos]

YO!

ANY ideas about recyclers?
How much stuff can they suck up from space?

I'm sitting on lost of stuff (50k of each) but don't want to waste it on slow moving mediocre recyclers.
