Hughestrog Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi All, if I research Improved Steel- can I use this to construct those items requiring just 'steel', i.e. cargo bays, etc. Also, I've been dredging the boards, and it says that you can issue 40 orders for your $. Is this true, or is it 30 orders as mentioned in the manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 No. Improved steel is only good for that stuff requiring improved steel. You will still need steel to build cargo bays, berthings etc.. 40 orders is the limit per turn these days. The number was increased on the 1 year anniversary of the game. If you have been sending in 30 contact RTG and see if they will make an adjustment for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Improved Steel is a very worthy resource. I can't see how stockpiling this stuff would ever be a bad thing Yup - 40 orders per turn sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan Elder 'Keen Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 If I recall, when I first got my setup I was somewhat overwhelmed and didn't have enough time to figure out the whole production thing. So I did only a single tooled BI order for a bazillion Iron. It worked out quite well over the long run, and that order is still down at the bottom of the production queue.

Ur Lord Tedric Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 If I recall, when I first got my setup I was somewhat overwhelmed and didn't have enough time to figure out the whole production thing. So I did only a single tooled BI order for a bazillion Iron. It worked out quite well over the long run, and that order is still down at the bottom of the production queue. I am going to go one further and put myself in the stocks for being a smart-arse..... I feel pretty confident about the entire production system - and this is STILL an excellent idea. If you are ever rushed for a turn, or want to take more time over rejigging a production queue, then putting in a single order to build Iron will NEVER be wasted....

ShadowKitsune Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 In a similar concept, I put a rotating pair of untooled orders for 5MM Iron or 5MM Crystals at the 'end' of my production queue so that my Industrial Complexes never sit idle. -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternusIV Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Sure! Send me over 17.5 Million CM to take care of my unemplyed population I'll ship you all the beer you want after that (You have to add close to 600k CM per turn that you think it will take for you to get here, to accomodate my growing population ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
