AH2 Universe 7 is now ranked 512.

AH2 Universe 2 is now ranked 775.

I will be offical question taker answerer.
If you have a question, send me a message in the game. (Not a circular message) I will answer it, and if I dont know the answer I will look it up.

Less clutter on here and easier to respond.

Mustaine it takes time, it's not a game were you can be constantly doing things, for example, one of my raiders just returned with 1100 metal and almost 600 crystals, that raid toke 2 and a half hours (that was a VERY low return on the time it took, in the same time my mines produced 1200 metal and 800 crystals) I have 16K invested in ships and they have yet to have payed for themselves.

you play in bursts basically, every few hours to let resources build up , just checking in every so often to see what's up and to check messages (yes you get a rank soon and will be able to make and read circular alliance messages)

basically pop the cap on a nice cold beer, play a bit, do some surfing , check back in on the game, get another beer...rinse and repeat

oh i know that pug.. it's NP, just chuckling about how low i am compared to others

is bodhi atround to set it so i can reply to the circular messages, or is it a "wait a day" thing? if so no biggie, just curious.

there is like WAY tons of info out there, reading most of it, and just biding my time till i can kill everyone

it's going to be days before i can build a robot factory, considering i need a duetwhatever thingy to get 200 of it, and it only makes 12 at level 1. add in the need for metal to make it, and the metal to make the solar plant to power it.

i think by friday i might have a robot factory. some time next week i can start making ships.

I R confoosed.

The resources page had me confused for a bit too till I rememberd I was using a browser and that all the numbers are cached and not automaticaly updated.

You need to hit calculate every time you make a change or the rest of the table won't update.

Mustaine, you will have ships by Sunday. You also will have a robotic plant by thursday.

you think so?

seems a bit early, considering i need tons of metal, and it is only making 175... well maybe you are right LOL, thats 4200 per day. i was thinking 175 per day

(though it will still take a day minium AFTER i build the duetthingy to get the 200 needed for the robot factory)

Mav, if you are wondering about output, click on technologies, then the thing (like metal factory) and you will see:

Level Production/hour Energy consumption
2 72 -25
3 119 -40
4 175 -59
5 241 -81
6 318 -107
7 409 -137
8 514 -172
9 636 -213
10 778 -260
11 941 -314
12 1129 -377
13 1346 -449
14 1594 -532
15 1879 -627
16 2205 -736

HINT/TIP:

Once you get your metal past 6 you can hold off building it up more for a while. Consentrate on deut. once you start raiding you make met/crys up in droves. Also, you don't waist your energy to support it.

EDIT:

In addition, once you start raiding and building up your res big time start spending it. Build up deffenses do research what ever. Res just sitting around is a target for raiders.

Left the game alone for 10-4:30 and had built up a little over 1000 metal on level 2 mine and 700 on crystal level 2. Deuterium just recently peaked over 200 so I went for the robotics factory, after I got deuterium level 2. When is this horde fest going to take place?

Does building a robot facility allow for a decrease in materials for constructing/upgrading new facilities?

"Every level of upgrade to the robotic facility increases the efficiency and the number of robotic units that aid construction."

Otherwise, if it just decreases the build time, I'll hold off on building it.

nirvana · « **Reply #416 on:** August 30, 2005, 06:23:47 PM »

I'm building it just so I can get to level 2 as soon as possible and start my shipyard, I like forcing the point. I'm also short on metal and deuterium, usually takes the most for building stuff, oh well.

ChickenHawk · « **Reply #417 on:** August 30, 2005, 06:24:28 PM »

At this point it just reduces build time.

But you will need it later on to research new technology and build ships.

texace · « **Reply #418 on:** August 30, 2005, 06:29:19 PM »

Metal: 3
Crystal: 2
Duet: 1
Solar: 4
Robotics: 1

Robotics should be finished in about six minutes. Right now I'm working on getting at least a shipyard so I can be more effective.

I also sent my app to the AH2 alliance.

Well somehow I managed to make one of fleets dissappear when I built an extra solar satellite...

FRUG..... there goes a full haul from an attack, and a fighter and cargo ship... Thats a bit frugging rediculous.
