Multiplex tracking

Mining from a planet doesn't reduce the resources there. Unless playing the finite setting (where resources are depleted as they are used).

Otherwise, the percentage counts on a planet just as it does in an asteroid field. The higher the percentage, the more you get.

so when it says that a extraction facility mines 800 resources of that type a turn, what does it mean, and how do i work out the real amount?

(i am playing a game right now in the background and i need resources! trying to figure out where to place the extractors!)

thanks

It means a planet with a 100% mineral vaule will produce 800 per turn. A 150% planet will produce 1200 etc.

I believe planets can shoot ten targets, with or without Multiplex.

I remember reading this somewhere, but have not been able to get it to work. Can someone tell me how to do it? I've tried some things like clicking a weapon in the component display, then a target, but that doesn't seem to do anything different.
