Default Resouce Converters

How do Resource Converter facilites work? Do they automatically kick in when I run out of one resource? Is there a way to convert X of one reource to another each turn?

Thanks!

Unco

When you have one built on a planet, select that planet. There will be a "Convert Resources" button activated for it. Or, hit ctrl+v. In this window, you specify how many of what resources you want to convert to other resources. There is no automatic conVersion; you have to give new conVersion orders every turn.

The button for the resource converter looks like a mining cart filled with ore. This button will only be available for a planet which has a converter facility.

Also, you only need one facility in your entire empire. You can convert as many resources in each turn as you wish, as long as they are available in your storage.

I'm sure you will enjoy this game. Welcome to the forum...Greybeard

Thanks for the replies! I've been playing this game for about a year and am now in 4 pretty serious games and the tournament. The PBW site is really great.

Thanks again!
