Need some help

from Sins Forums

Heya,

I'm sure this has been asked already but I can seem to find the post.

Anyway what I need to know is, Will building more than one Trade port or Refinery at any given planet increase its credit / mineral out-put?

ie. if i have two trade post at one or more planets and there in a chain (I know about the longest chain thing) will I make double the income at that / those planet(s)?

Now that I think about it I read the refineries work on the planet there at and any planet One jump away. Just dont know if having more than one refinery at the same location will up my out-put?

Thanks for the help in advance  :CONGRAT: 

 

ps if you haven't tried Uzii's mod (Sin Plus) make sure and give it a try!! Outstanding Addition to an already fantastic game!!

Now, I'm not sure about the detailed specifics, but since nobody else have replied, I might as well do.

1. Trade ports built at the same planet work independently of eachother. So, if you have two trade ports at one planet and their trade routes go to the same destination, they will provide the same income. I've sometimes had planets with more than ten trade ports.

2. As far as I remember, each extractor can provide ore to three refinery ships. This means that a planet with two extractors can support six refineries from the surrounding planets. And, I'm to lazy to try it out, I'm fairly certain that you can see how many refineries are using a specific extractor by hovering the mouse over it. But don't take my word for it, since I haven't built an refinery in quite a while (the cheap prices on the black market means that trade ports are much more effective in 1.03).
