Discovering tech artifact after max tech

In my current game I have Con 26.

I just colonised a planet in my area and discovered a strange artifact boosting my research in Construction by 155 resources.

I have no idea whether the resources were spent on my current research field or just lost.

If this has been mentioned before I apologise.

You are joking? Rolling Eyes

Do 155 resources matter so late in game? Surprised

I believe its just lost. Amounts that matter so late in game ... like SS spying bonus or Generalized research gains are surely just lost. I would be more worried about minerals that time anyway. Laughing

Did you get out of wrong side of bed ?

I wasn't suggesting that people keep planets back until they have maxed out their tech.

I was merely reporting what happened, and that this case suggests/confirms that the allocation of tech resources for finding an artifact, both for amount of resources and field chosen, is independent of current tech levels (it's probably just a little routine that picks 2 random numbers)

Now if I had received 200,000 resources, and it went to a field I needed (like Bio !) then it would be different.

It jibes with what I've seen in a lot of testbeds and some PBEMs. But, while field seems to be chosen truly at random, amount of resources seems to have a diminishing cap as game progresses.

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal

Sorry.

Worse ... i got out of wrong bed. Crying or Very Sad

The presence of artifacts at planets is set randomly at game start. The tech from artifact is decided when first colonizing occurs That is actually just something like random between 100 and 300 in random field. Someone from freestars team has most likely tested it out. Nod
