How do you use refineries

April 17, 2009 5:41:56 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Where do you need to put refineries?  I normally put them in every system, but I don't know if that's too many or what.  What will give the greatest boost to my economy.

Yep.  too many.

The ships will make one phase jump to an asteriod.

An asteroid can support 3 refineries.

I don't think so. I depends on how many refineries each rock can hold, not hard if you mod it hold. I usually put one though.

Planetary asteroids will only support up to 3 refineries before they stop getting more bonuses. Neutral gravwells can support 4 refineries working on them, but they tend to be difficult to reach.

Refineries (TEC and Vasari) will boost the resource output of all asteroids in that grav well and all the adjacent grav wells.

To get the best results, find the grav well that is connected to the most resource asteroids possible, and dump 3 refineries there. If you can't find a well connected gravwell, don't even bother.

For some reason, starbases don't get refinery upgrades.
