I spend most of my resources before I logout OGame, U37 is a wild place, but since a few days nobody sent me probes. (But somebody made a colony just next to my main planet that I wanted to colonize)

[Dragonoth]

Anyone notice that planets have a maximum build limit? Mine says 28/146 fields (in my new game) and 28 is exactly the number of upgrades for mines/plants/factories/shipyards/etc. The cap is pretty high, but it may limit growth and force expansion to other planets.


Also, is U:37 significantly lower in deuterium than U:20, or is it a difference in the planets I own?

I think that terraformers can make more lands(it says in the description) but my colony on the first planet in U20 has only 43 places (however, instead of power plants, solar sattelites can easily make cheaper energy)

What do you mean? I think that Deut output is based solely on the level of Deut mine, or not?

My planet in U:37 gets about one deuterium less per level of mine, so that by level 10 it is 12 points lower than the mine in U:20. It's not much of a difference, but it adds up over time. I am wondering if it's the universe or the planet (I have only one planet each universe).

Its your proximity to the sun. The further away you are in your system, the bigger the variance in your resources.

If anyone needs metal in uni 37 my neighbor Slay3r is a decent source 1:241:5 I can only take about 8,000 at a time and he has over 25,000

[Psychout]

Whats his coords? Ill send a bunch of cargo ships...

[Symbiote Spiderman14]

1:241:5

[steve2275]

isnt he the enemy?

[Psychout]

Yep, that why we harvest the crap out of him...

Missed the coords first time lol, but he's out of my range, its almost 10 hour round trip and ive got so many inactives here in galaxy 3 that I can make it far quicker. Someone from galaxy 1 would do better raiding him.

[Symbiote Spiderman14]

yup steve hes an enemy he probed and attack me in the begining now it's my turn ahh sorry psych didn't know your that far.

[Chaoslock]

He shows up as a noob to me... Somebody sent his defense back to the stone age...

I didn't realize he sliped so far down ohh well thanks to me raiding him the last couple of days I now have heavy lasers ion cannons 3 cargo ships 10 light fighters and 3 heavy fighters maybe I will give him a couple of days to replenish.

[Psychout]

No worries Spidey, like I said, theres planty of farming to be done here in Galaxy 3

Interesting:

Deuterium mine on p12:
Level 12 - 473 Deuterium an hour

Deuterium mine on p13:
Level 12 - 516 Deuterium an hour

Anybody knows what the Expedition Technology is good for?

[Psychout]

Im assuming its for finding uninhabited planets on the edges of systems, not got far enough to try it yet.

Caelus, isnt 42 lasers a bit... excessive?

[Dragonoth]

Reserch expidition tech!!!
The expedition followed some odd signals to an asteroid. In the asteroids core a small amount of Dark Matter was found. The asteroid was taken and the explorers are attempting to extract the Dark Matter.
You got Dark Matter units of 113.

Apparently, this is what Expedition tech is for.

I'm up to 65 now. I plan to go to 100, at which point I'll feel comfortable letting my resources stock-pile high enough to continue with the increasingly expensive research and upgrades.

Having 25,000 of each resource sitting in your reserves makes you a juicy target...

My propensity for defensive playing makes me think I should rename my planet "Bastion".

Oh, question: does the debris field around your planet decay naturally with time? Or has someone been harvesting mine secretly somehow?

But how do you use it do you justsend ship out somwhere?

[City Commander]

Cal- I think someone may be hitting your debris field with recyclers somehow. I haven't noticed my field decay.


Unless this game really is as incredibly complex as it's looking to be.





I too would love to know how to use expedition tech. I've got it in uni 20 and 33, but don't know what the dickens I should be doing with it.

Can you cloak fleets or something?

Because I figured it would be recognized as a hostile action, especially from what Burn was saying earlier.
