BTW ... I think 12 mines is possibly too much for most -f IS (possibly your design needs massive minerals?) Personally I always like about 10-ish and had luck with 10/3/9 once. I'm not as gutsy as others and haven't tried anything less than that in PBEM.

Has been a while since I played a -f IS, don't remember my mine settings, possibly 10/3/10, and I was running low on minerals.
Two things about IS: first, weapons cost you 25% more in minerals (and resources) and second, if you do well you'll have strong orgies and 300% pop on many (all) planets giving you on each of those the resources of a HG and therefor also its mineral usage.

mch

However most of the game will probably be played out well before you have the pop to go to 300%, and will be played with 100% capacity or less... Which with x/x/10 mines is 1 mine per resource.

I tried with 10/3/14 mines in one game, and never built more than about 10 mines per 10,000 pop anywhere except the homeworld Smile

I tried with 10/3/10 in another, and while sometimes I felt another mine or two would've been nice, I don't think I ever had to wait for minerals (I was proactively balancing them quite early in the game.) That was the game I hit 50k @ 2450, so quite a lot of minerals did get used Very Happy

I wouldn't dare 9 though. And 11 or 12 is certainly nice. But generally I'd rather more hab - more worlds (and thus more mines, more growth, more resources.) ...
