Yep, that looks much better. The links could still be a little tighter. Squeeze those modules together as closely as possible. It' usually doesn't matter on a smaller planet, but on some of the larger planets that can be an extra extractor head or factory.

Good advice there. One GIGANTIC gas planet nearby that I'm using to produce Oxides. I followed your advice there with tightness on the build.


Also, with your robotics, you'd be better of figuring out which of your 2 other planets is able to overproduce compared to the other (so like if one seems to have a lot more excess, that's the overproducer), then chucking a factory or 2 for the robotics on there. It' means you only have to export and import 1 set, then the final product.

Followed this advice also. Scanned another planet nearby to see very high amounts of things. Started to extract there as well.

EDIT: Oh by the way, I take if you know how to use the scanner to find the resource hotspots on the planet? If you've just chucked your extract heads down chances are you'll be getting an inefficient pull.

Learning this has been difficult. Some things I would scan and see lots of red ovals or rings, then white in the center. I placed the extractor down and used its scanner. When I would see a high number where a head would be placed, I taught myself to see what that area color looked like. Not really any good scanner instructions out there, so I had to improvise.
