Greetings In the name of Dorn and The Immortal Emperor of Mankind,
Found this game yesterday, played it enough to have a shocking headache today
Anyway, first game non-combatant as possible as I wanted to work out the industrial balances and have two queries as to how to best automate the process:
1. Asteroid miners, what if anything determines the "go to nearest mineral source" standing order? I have geo-surveyed most if not all of the first ring surrounding Holy Terra but no matter where the miners start from, they scurry to roid 120 and stay there, despite the fact it has no minerals.
2. pickup auto mine - drop automine orders ; putting the drop automine standing order first and pick up second, my (installation capacity) freighters refuse to drop them of on Luna or Mars , what am I not seeing?
3. I had 3 geo survey Imps, I now have 0. where could I find out when where and why they exploded?
4. is there any way to further automate roid mining ? dropping the mass driver(s) is all well and good, but in a system with several hundred worthwhile roids and a beefy mining fleet, the clicking and chance of oversight is worrisome.
