I read almost all tutorials but unfortunately some are outdated but thanks this forum I have been able to understand several things anyway.
This game will be my third attempt but the first one that I will try to continue past 20 years, in fact my first serious attempt.
Minerals
I have not been so lucky, only 1,281,800 as total and only 224,400 as Duranium.
I created a Geology Team (Rating 100) hoping to find more ones.
Governor of Earth
I guess I have a good leader here, +5% Factory Production, +20% Wealth Creation and + 10% Mining
Research
A very good scientist in an important sector, +30% Costruction/Production, my first tech is Trans-Newtonian with all labs involved (5)
About 2 years
Industry
Not sure what is the best option but I need good leaders therefore I'm using all my factories to build a Military Academy
Shipyards
The tutorial Survey ships have a far better range but reading the forum the version 6. x changed a lot of things, now have a military engine is a big problem especially in the early stage.
Therefore I will use a commercial engine but I need more space and I'm already increasing the ton capacity by 1000.
Fleet HQ
I assigned my only Rear Admiral to this HQ but at the moment I guess is useless (not sure which are the best skills for this kind of command either)
All other assignments taken.
Ground Leaders
The best ones will be assigned to Low Tech Units until something better will be created
Team
I will try to fulfill several teams keeping my best guys active until they will be ready to join a ship or a ground unit.
No more actions at the moment.
Race Settings attached (cosmetic)
Edit: my Geology team found absolutely nothing.
