Specific facilities, what do they do?

Thank you VERY MUCH! I have asked in another thread, but never really got an answer....so you WOULD only need 1 per empire! Boy is that underpriced! only 6000 points IIRC!

Well, you only get 50% of your minerals converted, the rest are wasted during the conVersion process.

Better to trade with an AI one-for-one.

This allows you to get LOTS converted at once or when you need emergency resources, or when the universe is at war with you.

A note on SJ's post about repairing mothballed ships. You can also retrofit mothballed ships to new designs. Handy for keeping an up to date fleet in being.

Kewl, thanks for the quick answers!

BTW I do make sure to keep non-breathers off those worlds, and I'm glad to hear that the AC should work for my other people. My population is humungous at this point, as I have about 6 jam-packed huge breathables (plus a few large/med/small breathables) in only 4 systems. It's freaky when you're doing a cargo swap and all of a sudden your population is 7000 out of 500 o_0 so I make it a point to avoid that.

I think as long as the majority breathes the atmosphere you should be ok. Also I think once you build facilities it doesn't matter what the majority breathes, I don't think you lose the facilities. I captured some planets from a race that had the Advanced Storage trait and they had 30 facilities on a huge planet. I scrapped one to build a shipyard and it wouldn't let me build it because the planet was at max facilities but it let me keep the other extra facilities.

Once in a while, an AI will refuse a trade, though, sometimes because they can't afford to give you as much as you asked for.

you can get 70% conVersion if you research resource manipulation
