Stacking

Erhardt · #1 February 19th, 2001, 10:36 PM

Is there any published list of what can/cannot stack? I hear various Messages about what can/cannot. For example: if I stack 8 mining factories do I get 8x performance?

For each mining facility, you get X resources a turn. So if you built 8 of them, it would be X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X or 8*X. So in a way yeah it is.

In general, the only facilities that do NOT (or, at least, aren't supposed to) stack are the various "bonus" facilities; i.e, robotoid factories, time shrines, computer complexes, etc. Generally, if it doesn't stack, the description will say something like "Only one of these facilities is effective per planet". (Or only one effective per system, for the system-wide bonus facilities).

If what you say is correct, then a time shrine and a robotic factory should work together. A time shrine is system wide and the robotic factory is planet based.

I think he was referring to the system robotics facility(or whatever it's called). It gets to be a pain typing all that out, so quite often I find myself guilty of shortening it as well.

A time shrine should and does stack with a planetary robotoid facility because the time shrine affects the system and the robotoid facility affects the planet.

Anyone else starting to hate typing these names out?

Nahh.. I don't mind at all typing out TS, SRF, MS, etc.

I was kinda referring to both system & planetary facilities; but y'all are right, I should have specified that system facilities don't stack with other system facilities and planetary facilities don't stack with other planetary facilities (in most cases - I think some of the value enhancers DO stack, but that could have been a bug; anyone with a better memory want to respond?)

Oh, and since I haven't used the Religious trait myself (yet), I forget that the Time Shrine is a system-wide facility.

value enhancing facilities are supposed to stack by design - the q&a on the malafador site even makes specific mention of this.

So, I can build a System Robotiod Factory on each of my planets in the system and get 10x system bonus?

No, we're referring to the "Conditions Improvement Plant" and "Value Improvement Plant" facilities. The System Robotoid Factory is a production bonus facility, not a value improvement facility. Sorry for the confusion...
