Resource Converter

[Smolf]

The newbie FAQ states that one resource converter can service the whole empire (4.4.12)

But the datafile - Facility states that only 1 facility per system is effective. Does this mean that you need one in every system or that you can build more than one in different systems, so that you got some spare ones?

[Joachim]

You can build spares in other systems, often a good idea if you fear being attacked.

THere is an absolute limit on how many resources that each converter can do, but I am not sure of the number.

[Smolf]

Ok thx... I was just a little unsure about how it worked.

Now I just need to figure out what the limit is.

[Spoo]

The limit is just above 1,000,000 resources per converter. You can have more than one converter per system.

Are you sure that I can have more than one converter per system?

[NullAshton]

Test it out, and see. That may have been a bug, the one per system thingie.

Yes, definitely. In the "Return to Hell 2" PBW game I have one system with four resource converters and another with two. Using all of them, I can convert 6,000,000 resources per turn.

[Caduceus]

I've never built one of these, I usually am either a.) in a solo game and dominating the galaxy by the time this comes along or b.) in a multi game and am losing horribly by this time.

About the 1 per system effective comment; I think it may have meant 1 per EMPIRE effective.

But then, who would expect that you'd ever NEED to convert more than a million resources per turn
