Hi!

Early in the game, when you have little of transports and require minerals for starbase upgrades and further expansion, you usually build heavy mining robots which you cannot move, and which often mine planets with concentrations lower than 20.

If my AR colonizes some good planets with low iron, AND there are other colonies with really high iron, I might consider building SOME con-7 elec-5 mining robots. However at that time my AR is on the race to con-12, so those robots will be outdated in less than a decade, what makes them quite pointless to build. In those few years they will barely return the iron, that was spent for them.
BR, Iztok
