The planet is a big industry world, and its about 74 years in (i started around 2000, IIRC). Sounds right anyway. I have approximatly 4500 automines in service in the entire empire, which I'm pretty happy about at this time.

On topic I've recently found one planet with 74mil Acc 0.9 duranium, plus a few other good mins. Will be moving my terraformers and mines there just as soon as possible!

Oh well, at least i can mine the crap out of this world in the meantime.

Three words: Dormant jump point.

Only now, with >10 populated colonies spread among as many systems, do I realize that alpha centauri is a special system. Adjacent to sol, and a dead end warp-- nothing can come from the back except invaders when I turn them on and nothing comes out but minerals and product. One step up from earth theres a world with 84 million neutronium and 2 million corundium, both in shortage here, at abundance 1, but only modest other mineral content.
How typically do you find worlds like this? I mean, I don't imagine I'm ever really going to have shortages of much of anything. And now that I have 2000 mines on Penumbra, and another 2000 in another (less) major system, I'm really mining with a vengence here. To find something like this so close and so rich seems... unlikely.
