I completed my first one about 4 turns ago.

Edit: And probably within the next 5 turns I will have 10 more or so completed.

The first ones have just come in.

I have been using the fill queue function and giving this particular little queue to something close to 120 planets (for those not playing, all planets are huge).

- Temporal Shipyard
- Atmospheric converter
- Value improvement
- 3 x Monolith
- 1 x BSY
- 2 x Nice Baseship

If I don't ship too much population to the planet it will convert the turn the second baseship is ready. Based on the number of baseships I'm getting I guess I will be very busy the next year or so

Building those atmospheric mod. plants with a temporal spaceyard has got to be wicked expensive. The evil things cost 15k of each resource!

I wonder you have resources to build/maintenance baseships at this point of game. All my resources are going into building facilities and they are not even enough. Well, Having 20 monoliths in turn should help soon, for in 5 turns I am getting 50 monoliths in turn

Spoo:
It's expensive, but I have colonized at a bit slower speed than normal so not every planet needed max resources at the same time. I still have a few planets left to colonize and apply the queue too.
Still, resources have been sparse and I have been very close to zero a few times. I have just managed to let the planets build at max speed, but I have had to leave my BSY's idle more than once.

Also been lucky with a few good value breathables, and been very carefull to get all the +45 % system facilities up early.

Karibu:
I can build them. Maintaining them is another matter so most have been mothballed

Well, he is Primitive after all, and he isn't called "Steamroller" for nothing. Don't ask how he manages to expand this fast, but he does. *Mutters something about a certain KOTH game, and frets at the idea of playing a full-tech game with Primitive around*

hehe, through human history, primitive people have had difficulties dealing with civilized concepts like Spoo(n), but they tend to understand what to do with cariboes on sight them *seeking hiding place*.
