If I`m going mineral miner..Should I put ALL my research into mining..Or maybe distribute some a bit to do the missions??(5 Indu)
N NirvanaOP
So far I have 16 Mining Infra and 5 Indu for mission...Just researching Mining for now.. I wanna reach 50 xD
M Macbeth
Then you will make far less money. Enjoy.
N NirvanaOP
I guess I`ll follow VALJA`s advise and improvise a bit..:) Thanks People :D
P Perseus
half mining/half industry =D
M Macbeth
True Housing can be very profitable, but you can`t argue Industry is worth while... Also I`d sooner depend on the mineral market than the food market...
V VALJA
Macbeth... my suggestion is for long term players... regardless of the race he or she choosed... i don`t suggest a.miners to dabble in food production and invest infras for it... but there are times, a.miners can have faster income incase minerals market are oversupply... for example, price of TM is getting lower and lower at the moment, soon most of the minerals will be the same... as for hardcore a.miners, i say good luck in getting fast income while waiting for the queues to be bought over...

but then again... it`s all up to the individual to choose which strategy he or she wish to go for it.... if you wish to change races as often as your shirts, then follow the textbook`s rules as advised... but if you wish to play as long as you want in SFGC... improvise... ;)
M Macbeth
Valja how is that good advice? I don`t see any situation in the long run where a mineral miner will have trouble selling minerals for very good profit margins...
V VALJA
but then again... IF you feel like playing in the long run... perhaps don`t put all your eggs in one basket would be a good advice... :)
M Macbeth
Nirvana why don`t you just listen to what I said first it`s all you need to do. Do not put any research into Industry, Agri or Housing, if you plan on making Minerals (the best income option for Miner on RT).

You don`t even need any buildings on your planets, just get them and then plow turns into Mining, and I suggest 5 levels in Industry just for the mission.
V VALJA
are you playing in RT? if you do... go mine for RC... i`ll assure you that you`re having a constant buyer for a month or two... :)

If you focus on mining minerals you don`t even need pop on your planets. Not even mining built on the planets. You just need the planets themselves.

lol no worries, its easy to miss

oh, nvm, guess i skipped that part down there

What is it ?
Mining excavates the planet`s available ore reserves.

Tips
Some planet types may contain more ore than others.
Try not to build too much mining infrastructure. Because mining infrastructure
will become useless once the ore reserve on the planet is depleted.

Mining technology levels increase mineral generation for the colony by 10% per level

Revenue
Generates ore depending on technological level.
T thunderonian
then i don`t know why i`m getting so less minerals
S Slavyzz
that is incorrect thunderonian, every level of mining infra also increases mineral generation by 10%
T thunderonian
no, mining inf. does nothing but remove ores faster, go for indu
N NirvanaOP
Okay..I`ll see what I`ll do...I wanna get 30 mining first..
S Slavyzz
if you want the missions the do industry, the server really needs it and it will keep your base pr from being very high. If you don`t like the idea of using the land on your planets for industry and you just HAVE to put a few levels into something then do a few housing levels (i would say 7) and tax away. Otherwise sticking to one infra is the most economical.
