The dumbest newbie question ever.

Come in and laugh!

from Sins Forums

So I picked up Sins and started playing it with the latest patch. After playing some small scenarios I feel pretty confident but there's something bugging the heck out of me. Playing as Advent, how do I build a refinery? I don't see it anywhere in the tech tree or in the ship contstructors. I even replayed the tutorial where it has you create a refinery, but that is a TEC standpoint and I see it in their tech tree. Do the Advent simply not have refineries or am I blind?

 

Thanks. :)

That's right, no refineries for Advent :)

The Trade port Will double as a refinery IN system ONLY once you preform the requisite research. It will then add an option button you can right-click to auto cast and it will switch to resource focus mode. Further research increases the % it helps out.

Thanks much. I knew about the Trade Port thing, guess that will just have to cover my materialistic needs. :D

Black Market/Trade Port combo, and spamming culture through temples of communion to get your allegiance up and increase your yield from distant planets are the other options.

I usually build 2 trade ports in system. One for trade other for resource focus.

Do several Advent resource income increasing ports stack? Is there a limit like for refineries (the x of 3 asteroids thingy ... the Advent ports don't count to that, right?).

Yes the bonuses from multiple resource focusing trade centers stack.

I do not believe there is a limit... I usually have three of them going at it over Ice Worlds, and it works fine. I've never tried more than three though so I am not 100%.

They stack further, I had a Ice Planet with 5 of them all set to that. My friends hated me cause I had so much Crystal and they had none.  :CONGRAT:
