I absolutely love your blog! Do you keep it private / password protected until the game ends? I might so something like this as well, it'll help me keep my thoughts organized. I wrote a message to my ally each turn last game, but I guess I might as well write it up properly.

I didn't read through the whole blog yet (frankly, mostly the first and last couple posts so far...), but one quick Q: did you never run into mineral problems with these factories? I guess it gives another 50-100 RW points to dump into hab...


Do you mean, with these mine settings?

The answer is no. It was tight there for a few years because my initial close greens were all poor in iron as was my HW and I complain about this quite a bit in the early years. But even so I was never really bottle necked by it, but it did limit some of my fuel ship production until I was spread out enough the iron concentrations started to average out and I actually had surface stores to speak of. After this point it was never an issue - even during my multi-decade destroyer production runs.

In all my testing and play, the biggest early or growth related mineral crunches occur for a few reasons. You're building factories, or you're building full starbases, or you're using privs which are mineral hungry. A -F with ISB can get away with 8/10k mines easily. 7/10k might be workable too, but that can get iffy with poor mineral concentrations. Those few ticks help you pay for ISB IMHO.

Yes, I kept it password protected until the game was over. Though I did share the password with the hosts and my family.
