Multiple Salvagers not additive?
« on: May 04, 2015, 07:53:20 PM »
Question about the mechanics of a Salvager fleet. I have a fleet of 8 Salvagers, each with 2 Salvager 500 modules. The description of the class design says they are capable of salvaging 1000 tons/day. I hadn't thought about the long salvage times, but I noticed that salvaging a 30,000 ton wreck was taking ~30 days to complete. Do multiple salvagers in the same fleet not help salvage a target wreck?

Only one salvager can work on one wreck at a time. If there are multiple wrecks at the same location, multiple salvagers will be used (up to the amount of wrecks)
Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Multiple salvage modules will help on the same ship but not split across different ships.
