A few quick questions for some friendly gurus to contemplate answering for me. I know mine settings has been done to death, but I'm a slow learner Smile

1a) Is there anyway of starting Stars so that your HW has minimum minerals every time?

1b) If the startingG on my HW was going to be 30%, what would it be if I allocated 50pts to Min Concs?

2) Scenario: HW has 30% G conc and about 250K of G. RW has 0 points allocated to (something/nothing).

If I have OBRM, PGR 19%, 1 in 1000 and something like 10/3/16 mine settings, what is the best way to deal with pop growth well in excess of my ability to get the G out to build the facs? With decent G I would just take it to 275K pop and hold it there, but here G is wayyy low.

For example, (and please don't argue the merits of different mine or fac settings - they are what they are Smile) if I have facs set to 13/9/14 (and the mine setting and PGR above) do I:

a) keep my pop below, say, 275K and export pop to my best breeders which hopefully have a better G conc than HW. Gradually building pop to 275K in line with the # of factories I can build? ((If I do this then the number of mines operated is reduced, so it take a little longer to get to a stable 275K with maxFacs)); or

b) just let it climb to 275K, build out the mines as the G runs out and build the extra 3 or 4 fac's the extra mines let me build.

My gut feeling says (a), testing seems to make me think (a), but I'm wondering if there is a (c) strategy or (d) strategy I am missing.

3) What are the weakest mine settings a 15/x/22 HP can work with?

Cheers
S.
