That's getting back to the point I made earlier.
If you build mines instead of factories, then you're slowing your initial economy down. We all know that you need mines, but once you have quite a few factories, you can build so many more mines and therefore more factories. The compounding effect is enormous.

I understand. Yet with a limited max number of mines it is sometimes better to flip to mines before you run out of germ. You end up squeezing MORE growth/factories, especially if you count growth of colonies. That can even be the case with a 1/2500 pop ecconomy and is easier with a 1/1000 economy.

Factories maybe cost 7 resources for a QS, while mines cost 3.

What can happen with the normal order of building factories until you run out of germ especially if your HW is germ poor is you may become germ starved (even with IFE).

The superior alternative may be to build a certain number of factories, then switch to mines, then switch back. You take the extra germ and feed it to the most important colonies.

At some point I can post a spreadsheet to better illustrate how it works. I would prefer to wait till my Trans game is over because the closest spreadsheet I have gives away too much about my current ecconomic model.
