Spaceports need to be placed strategically, and in small numbers. That means that if you have too many spaceports, your freighters will spend most of their time shuttling resources between them, trying to balance their storage, and most of your resources will be stuck either in transit or on colonies where you never even planned to build any ships. Originally posted by Cybermantas:And build extra space ports only when Population starts touching 500m on new planets (to ensure not paying too much in maintenance).It's not that you don't want too many spaceports because of their maintenance you don't want to many spaceports, period.Įvery spaceport has a certain 'demand' for resources, as it's assumed that they will build ships. the other issue is lack of key strategic resources on new planets) Or is the answer some manual shipping? Or having state freighters to ensure Caslon is shipped from mines to homeworld at least (Caslon availability being the biggest issue. If so, then is the answer more freighters ? (I have 300 of them in this game ~100 of each size). My guess is that many of these issues are cropping up because of the lower hyperspace speeds and the gravity well which slows down cargo movement. Is the game logic just moving around cargo without any sense ? Saw few more examples of this I dont know how the 12,500 polymer reached the outer planet, but I dont understand why 12,500 polymer now needs to be shipped back to homeworld. More painful is that I saw some large freighters (using shift+enter) transporting 12,500 of polymer from outer planet (new) to my homeworld when the outer planet DOES NOT produce polymer. Freighters are sitting arnd or I see some large freighters ship <100 of some random resources.ģ. 3 caslon planets in my home system, but my homeworld has shortage of resources.Ģ. Plenty of mines and resources, but not getting shipped around much. In bacon, I am having lots of shortages of minerals. And build extra space ports only when Population starts touching 500m on new planets (to ensure not paying too much in maintenance). Spend my time planning expansion of mines to generate resources steadily. I have a decent number of games under my belt in vanilla and have the resource economy pretty well understood. Using the Bacon + RetreatUE + Das Chrome combo. Got the mod working pretty easily, no worries there.
