system and normal buildings

hi

I was wondering if for example I have a system robotoid factory in the system, does a robotoid factory do anything? can i have a 60% percent bonus, or will it only work once?

then i guess it is the same for all of them.

Thanks

Facilities with the same ability do not stack. So, System Robotoid and System Mineral Scanner will not stack. But, facilities with different abilities will stack. So, a System Robotoid Factory and a Planet Robotoid Factory (or a Planet Mineral Scanner) will stack. You can get up to a 60% bonus using a system facility and a planet facility. I believe this is in the Newbie FAQ.

I dont understand that! I would of thought that if it would be only 1, it would be the other. oh well http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Ok... how about this:

You get the best bonus from all "planet-affecting" facilities on the planet for each of the three resources.

You get the best bonus from all "system-affecting" facilities in the system for each of the three resources.

These two bonuses add together.

Example:

Build System Mineral Scanner II (+20% min), System Robotoid Factory III (+30% to each resource), planet Eco-Farms III (or whatever it is called: +30% orgs), planet Robotoid Factory II (+20% to all resources).

So, for all planetary bonuses, you have:
org +30% EF
min +20% RF
org +20% RF
rad +20% RF

So, the best of these is:
min +20%
org +30%
rad +20%

Then, for the system facilities:
min +20% SMS
min +30% SRF
org +30% SRF
rad +30% SRF

So, the best of these is:
min +30%
org +30%
rad +30%

Now, add the best planet and system bonus for each resource:
min +50%
org +60%
rad +50%

These are the final bonuses you get.
