Hi!
Kagemm, am I understood correctly - you used 1% auto teraforming at start for all planets? If yes, then no wonder you got that result - teraforming is a main thing AR should do on greens, andgreen poanets quite often have more than 100 resources (so can teraform more than 1%).



Yes, I had a queue of 1% auto-terraform for all greens & yellows for the first 45 turns. Should this be auto-terraform 100% all the time? Very Happy I only did 1% so I'd do lots of research, but that probably wasn't the right move. Laughing

This depends on your tech research needs. If you need a lot of early tech research, you probably can sacrifice some economy like you did for that purpose and have better spread-outr of people. I guess this is quite essential for AR in crowded games. Otherwise, instead of spread out, you should care more about quicker breeding, and thus you should fill in big greens first rather than spreading out. More people on big green - more growth, quicker teraforming, you would be able to export pop from there quicker etc. Try another tactic: teraform to max, export pop to big greens first, establish solid bases, then spread pop from such bases. You should have few such sites at year 30, so at year 50 you should have a lot of child of child planets around such sites and spreed up effect (but with a bit more pop than in your test).



Okay, thanks, I'll try that. Smile

- you mentioned that you built SFX - did you try to avoid that? Wink Refuleling docks (even on reds) may help here a lot. Sfx costs a lot, so I usually try avoid use of it.



No, not really - at end of testbed I had 36 SFXs. Seems like without it I can't go warp 9 for distances - maybe this was a bad move? I could have done with less, but built extra because they make fuel management so much simpler. Very Happy It miniaturizes a lot by the time I have Ultras, so I didn't find it to be expensive, probably I should reconsider.
