***The (renamed) official Ogame thread***

I've also noticed that the amount of satellites affects their effectiveness.

I've got 11 on a slot 11 planet and they provide 38 units of power each.

My first satellite was providing 50...

Alway click "Calculate" in the resources screen.

Power output = (Max temp of planet / 4)+20
^^^ Always
To get 50 power output your planet would need to be a #1 or #2 position. :)

And fusion does = gooooood.
lvl8 fusion + lvl8 deut synth = No deut = 857 Power = -198 Deut Production.
Metal mine:
lvl Metal Power
19 3486 -1163
20 4036 -1346
21 4662 -1555
22 5372 -1791
23 6178 -2060
Difference = 897 Power.

So for 857 power, and a solar sat, you can get an extra 2692 metal per hour.

At the 3:2:1 ratio, 2692 metal is 897 Deut.
But it only cost you -198 deut to get the power.

Overall result, if you trade the excess metal for deut = 699 Deut per hour.

Using deut + fusion allows you to get more energy out of your planet, to power mines that will produce more of Metal (mainly) and crystal than it costs deut to power.

Basically, using fusion allows you to make more profit/hour from mines. :)

(I probably explained that as well as a fox, that has just been fired from the position of professor of cunning from Oxford University for writing illegible rubbish on the black boards)
 
Regardless, in position 11 for the first 2 or 3 I can categorically state I was getting 50 from each one :)

Try it again, on as many different planets as you want.
Click the calculate button on the resources screen, you'll see it drop from it's Max value (50) to the value for that planet.

If you don't click that calculate button - It will show as giving 50... But isn't.

:)
 
Ahh well - You have a dodgeh planet that changes temp by itself. :p
And solar sats can be crashed 33 times before they are cost more than an equiv SP upgrade from lvl21->22 IIRC.

Easy to work out...
Power increase from lvl solar / Power per solar sat = Number of sats you need
Num sats * Resources = How much they cost
SP Resource Cost/Sattelite cost = How many times they can get crashed before it would have been cheaper to build the SP upgrade.

Mine said 50 until I hit the calculate button when it went down to it's real value of 23. It goes back up to 50 each time I go to the resources page. If you add up your energy you should see that you're not getting 50 from them. Bit of a bug...

---------------------------------

Still on the energy note, what should I do early on? Keep upgrading my Solar Plant or research to get a Fusion plant and keep leveling up deut?

ATM I have M8, C8, D5, S10. I'm short of crystal but to upgrade the c mine will need more energy and I can't decide if I should spend the 5k/2k on upgrading the sp or research energy l2 and build a fusion plant...

Any advice much appreciated.

At that point I've been going fusion.

Think it'll benefit me later in the game.

I'll probably do that then :)

I'm going out for two hours, hopefully I'll have enough to complete the research when I get back ;)

Bloody game dictating my schedule, I even got up in the middle of the night to spend the care package I received. :o

Robotics needs sod all crystal. I had more trouble finding metal for it back then :)

I mean Deut, been saving for 2 days, and still only have 60k of the stuff ! shocking really, everything needs it at the moment.
 
There should be plenty of inactives within 25SS's of you?
(Either side)

They usually have half decent mines and should keep you occupied.
I had more res than I could spend when I invested everything in Comp Tech and Cargo's when I started.
(Comp Tech = Gooooooood!)
 
A nanite a day keeps the crashers away:

One of them is a level 2 nanite as well. :D
 
LOL - Not quite 3 of them on the go, not even one of them lvl2...
But my planets are prettier! :p (IMHO)

And Gilly - Nice one... 45 mins travel time. :D
There will be more further out tho, you just have to wait longer.

Mind you, it may increase the likelyhood of you being scanned, being one of the more attractive targets in that system.
