Something mildly interesting about remote mining

[geoschmo]

I have suspected this for a while, but just confirmed it through a test. Income generated from remote mining is not shared with your trade partners. So if you were a race that got a lot of it's income from remote mining your allies would be potentially getting less benefit from the treaty than you, even though if you both had equal economies. Could be something someone would want to do on purpose I suppose. Just thought I'd point it out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Do racial bonuses apply to remote mining?

[jimbob]

so then a really low scoring race should pursue remote mining and they won't suffer their racial penalties! (?)

[Fyron]

Maybe... I have never tested it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Puke]

interesting... take resource penalties, and gather all of your min/org/rads from asteroids. use you planets for research and intel..

[PvK]

Yep, and form lots of trade alliances, while you slowly leech the resources out of the quadrant...

[Fyron]

Assuming I am right, anyways. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Maybe someone should test that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Confirmed, racial characteristics have no effect on remote mining.

Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, no need to be alarmed - this is official business. I am hereby commandeering the good info in this thread for the Newbie FAQ. Credit will be given to the authors.

Please stand back while I take pictures.

Up until now, it was kinda advanced learning, apparently. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Would be good to add it to Encyclopaedia Malfidorica. Perhaps I should learn how to add stuff to that some time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

PvK<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I figured it out ... by definition therefore, it is very simple.

Just go there, find a dead link, and click on the ? mark.

Or click the edit button at the bottom of the page.

It will ask for a user name, no password is needed.

That wasn't so much an effort to keep you from enjoying the benefit of trade income as it was a way to find room to build enough research facilities. That Only own type/only own atmosphere was tough. That entire game I never found a free planet to colonize. Only ones I ever got other than my homeworlds were ones I took from the Knights and made from asteroids.

I (and others I presume) had to learn a whole new way to play the game. Geo did it by mining asteroids; I built planets. The killer was only 1 planet in 14 was usable! You couldn't simply use the standard,mass colonization strategy; you had to work. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
