I'm just checking in real quick to see how my resource production is. The title of the topic lets you know what level I am. And I have 5 spare planets yet to be colonized. This is counterbalanced by the fact that I have mission planets, which also means that my production isn't too shabby. I just want a rough idea of how much farther I should push it. I could divert my research from defensive modules over to 10's (instead of 8's).

So without further ado, I get:

Minerals 3165 units / hour
0 / 36000 (8k additional storage from planetary structures)

Artifacts 4919 points / hour
3678 / 80000 (24k additional storage from planetary structures)

4951 research / hour
0/50150 (14k additional storage from planetary structures)

Right now the research caps out the quickest and generally allows me just enough down time overnight to catch it before it caps.


So how much further should I try and push this?

rank 252

i have +10's

--I colonized 7 planets yesterday so these numbers are going to rise as they mature, still have 2 slots open

mineral 5403

Artifact 6457

Research 7671

how much spare CR do u have at hand? you should calculate beforehand to see if you can afford switching all the 8's to 10's if you have that researched. I had financial trouble when I upgraded to 10s.
If you have enough CR to do a full(or at least majority) switch, I would suggest you get your 10's, your RP output as well as your rank says you should be getting it soon, at least IMO.
Ofc, once u get ur 10's, ur RP will cap fairly quickly, so I would advice you to stop capturing RP planets unless it's REALLY amazing, and focus a bit on AP production, which you have a giant safe zone of. At your rank you can also consider the talthaian(probably spelt wrong) chain which will allow you to boost AP production further. In the long run, AP is what counts.

just my $0.02

Excellent! I was looking for someone who had better production than I did and it looks like I found one. What's your secret Elerian? I've been pretty darn picky with my planets with the majority being a minimum of E Rich or better all of them good sizes. I've got the expanded exotic, mission dyson, and a rift planet along with a selection of 16x mining planets. Basically my front page is filled with planets that are all X mega producers.

The only thing I could think of doing better is going kronyn, mylarai (taltherian would still take a fair few levels to obtain) or in using the planet changing artifacts. I currently enjoy being zolazin so any change to mylarai (which I have unlocked) would be brief. And I'm not making crystal, irradiated, demon, etc. planets until I've got them all maxed to 15x before I do the change. While it would be a temporary boost, in the long run I'd rather have 17x gaia's (insert other planet types) a little bit later than an underproducing planet now.

So, again I ask, what's your secret beyond the 10's?

well, this may help with little more reference from my ship. Good Luck!

You are rank 252.... And you have found not just one but TWO Natural Dysons? Dan! The game isn't being fair again!

lol... That explains much Elerian you lucky sod. I unfortunately haven't found any natural dysons. Got tired of waiting for them so I made a 17x/17x/17x Gaia and then rifted it.

Miracle, can I ask you what kind of gameplay style you have? Because I'm getting a slow level kind of vibe from you and your ship. I ask this because I'm kind of the opposite. I do on average two levels a day and have only been playing for a bit over 4 months.

...i'm 242, and I don't have any production above 3k...someone tell me how to fix that?

3 inches of plastic, and some special numbers

I'm not spending any more money on this game.

Well, that's why! Not everyone can spend money on games (me included) so don't feel bad when the deep-pocketed pull ahead

I'm not trying to invade jawwa's privacy or anything but youd be astonished at his deep-pockeness and his ability and want to mention it every time gp comes up in a conversation LOL

ShaneBatten's worse. He's spent $2k on refills alone. He's the ultimate tin-can. And Jawwa, at least you're CCing right

well since Wizards isnt gonna print any more 1st / 2nd edition books this is about the only hobby I have that has a $ option

playing with kid in the park - free
pwning noobs with kid on free MMO's - free
D&D saturday night - cost of pizza
for everything else theres Galaxy Legion

oh and yes i was very lucky to find those planets, found the first dyson at rank 50ish
stats now are:
51x mineral
48x artifact
68 x research ( with datacubes )

2nd rift:
21x mineral
41x artifact
62x research

if you dont have +10 structures i would get those quickly, +12's would be good to but they cost half a metric butt ton. ( at least for this level )

other suggestions would be to get Kronyn / Mylarai races, theres 3 free race changes in the zolazin chain so theres another way to help out freely. plus the reward from the new year if you still have those around.

NPC farm out some purifiers, and planetary data optimizers.

bout the only thing i can think of at this level

I'm pretty much already doing all that. Killing npcs like crazy, just turned Kronyn, so the research will get better.

Lucky SOB. I would kill for either of those.

so i guess i shouldnt metion the other planets i have then

First I have been in this game much longer than you ...and you are correct! I m a slow rank PvPer. My style of playing is quite simple, I have a path, target & task at certain level range. And yes, two things actually helped my game a lot... one picking up a dyson at rank 55 and being a sleeper for 4-5 months but yet login 2-3 times a day to pick up my resources All I can say is... have a plan of what you gonna do and work towards it. I always know exactly what my ship will look and what kind of resources will have before reaching my next rank
