Custom orders |

I'm curious what others use as their custom orders for planets/waypoints/(battle orders).
For planet build queues, I know the best is supposed to be:
Quote: | Autobuild 500 factories,
Auto terraform 1% or so
Autobuild 500 mines
Auto terraform 5%
| but I like building mines in between, so that I have adequate germ for building ships as well.
I prefer this as my default
Quote: | Min terra 1%
Autobuild 50 factories (500 res)
Autobuild 20 mines (100 res)
Terra 1% (100 res)
Autobuild 100 factories (1000 res)
Autobuild 50 mines (250 res)
Terra 3% (300 res)
Leftover to research.

2250 res.. if the planet is making that much, then it doesn't need default orders anymore.
I custom add mines or terra, if reqd.
For -f races
Quote: | Terra 1% (70-100 res)
Autobuild 50 mines (150-250 res)
Terra 3% (210-300 res)
Autobuild 100 mines (300-500 res)
Autobuild 1 defence (as a reminder that the queue is finished)

There is another set, but I'll share that after one of my current games get over.
Fleet orders
Colo loader - Load 70% Colo, dunnage germ.
Breeders - Colo waypoint 3000kt-3500kt, load exactly 150kt germ
Calculate 25%/33% of a 100%.. I go with 30% of 1100kt with OBRM, as that takes care of most planets above 80%.
You'll be using LFs as well, so this stops you from draining a planet with dunnage orders).
Minerals - 33% iron, 33% bor, 34% germ.
Colo up - Load all Colo.
I'll paste my orders from my stars.ini, some other time.
Anyone else wants to share?
I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.Report message to a moderator

I'd say that's a good default option, but for many races tweaks are possible that improve efficiency, such as putting some Terra or Mines 1st.

Mine is quite similar, and for much the same reasons. I don't usually pay that much attention to the finer details of each planet, since a "progressive" Q like that one pretty much takes care of them all, be it yellows or greens.

I have that one too. Amazing how often it comes handy!
I have a special one just for Germ: "load all Germ", for Germ runs. Saves a lot of time (and mistakes)!
So many Stars, so few Missiles!
