Noob Question about mining stations etc

Post by Lynx2003 »

Hi,

Real noob question, but I am struggling to stop private stations being destroyed because they are building so far away from my controlled sectors.

Is there anyway to limit the expansion outside my empire controlled zone?

Take the constructors off auto and manually assign the target for mining.
Use the Expansion Planner to determine your sources and assign constructors to mine for resources from there. Check the strategic ones first, make sure you keep fuel (Caslon and Hydrogen) as your number one priority, then Chromium, Polymer, Steel, Gold, Lead, Iridium etc, then just keep increasing the other strategic resources until you have about 10 sources of each (except fuel types, aim for 15) then do the same for the luxury resources.

One nudge. When you develop Hydrogen reactors and use them, your H2 needs will rapidly increase. So be ready to expand your h2 mining to head off a shortage.
