How many factories?

Mephisto_2k · Post by **Mephisto_2k** » Fri, 15. Oct 04, 18:45

I dont know how to do polls so could someone make one for how many people have 100+, 200+, 300+, 400+, 500+, 600+, etc factories. I wanna know where I stand.

Think I've got 8 in my current game. I won't build many more until they can be moved...

with that many stations does your trading rank go up very quickly?

I have about 50 atm, this is going to increase soon I think, just need to raise a bit more cash to build some more loops, hopefully an SDS one to supply rastor oil to the split and some hept loops for later on.

You might also want to exploit a Space Weed loop in Siezwell.

Hit 201 just last night.

Depends on whether your stations are open to trade with the AI and whether you have ships selling to the AI. Closed loops have no affect unless you're maybe selling the end product.

14 stations. Judging from the poll thus far, it looks like people either go for all or nothing.

Well I finally restarted for 1.4 so I'm back down to the 15 factory range. In my previous game I had gotten to a hair above 200.

My play style is approximately 75% economic (building & trading) and 25% military (making things go splat). Of course this varies over time and since my joystick broke, I probably won't engage in any more heated battles until after I can afford an M6 or larger.

604 factories. A lot of it is in weapon loops. 7 BPPC, about 20 GPPC loops. 6 125 MW shield loops. Got a few other misc weapon loops too.

Merroc · Post by **Merroc** » Fri, 15. Oct 04, 22:42

and how many GPPC support your own fleet? and how big is that fleet?

i myself am going to build a large illigal goods loops in PE

xenon_pimp · Post by **xenon_pimp** » Fri, 15. Oct 04, 22:57

All the GPPC loops are for me. With all that it takes about 9 hours to equip an M2 from scratch. For free. I capture Xenon K's, repair the hulls, which I get at 77-87% usually.

i got 293 stations, again most of mine are weapon loops.
And no my trading rank doesnt increase that rapidly when its this high

I have 2, a SPP in KE & a Soyery in Pranid Prime but i'm about to build a SPP & CF in Paranid Prime

Skyman · Post by **Skyman** » Sat, 16. Oct 04, 00:35

I have 308. Most of them around the Argon prime sectors.

Arctic · Post by **Arctic** » Sat, 16. Oct 04, 05:36

I have a HUGE... 3 stations, 1 SPP and 1 Silicon Mine - i cant remember which sectors they are in, i have one in Red Light and one in Ringo Moon, and an Ore mine on that nice 40-somthing ore roid in Cloud Base SE.

i'm just nervous of spending massive amounts of money on stations, i still need to make more before i see the money roll in but i hate laying out the inital funding

i think the next ones up are going to be a Cyrstal Fab and a Cahoona Bakery and Cattle Ranch, i needs more Cyrstals and i hope i can start a small loop up which may lead to more SPP's etc.

I have built 1500 factories. I believe I could build up to 2500 including loops if I build silicon and ore mines on every roids out there including lower yields than 25. I also destroyed some other races' factories to replace my own so I can sell more. Only other races' factories I am willing to destroy are laser forges, missiles factories, shield forges, weapon componment factory, and ammuntion factory. Or squash mines if I dont want priates bugging me and sell to trading stations only. I avoid destroying other race's 125mw and PPC forges cuz I sell cells, foods, and ore to them. GPPC forge in Family Ryk are ok to destroy and replace my own then 3 Baron EDs come to mine buying. Only 2 sectors I dont use SSP loops are in The Wall and Aleeka Beacon since they have 5 SSPs and always have cells available at 16cr or less.
