Dennarian Star Imperium Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I am a bit confused on hydro electric installations. I saw th eformula for power generated by them earlier. Can I only build one per world tho, or can I build multiple ones where each one provides the amount of power given by the formula? Would geothermal installations operate the same way?

EternusIV Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 You can build more than one per world. The energy produced depends upon your Hydro or Geo Potential listed on the CSV report. You have the formula? If not, PM me and I can scrounge it up for you. Or someone could post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ur Lord Tedric Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 There have been the odd anomalous results (off by '1' or so), but the formula is damn close to being simply: Power (Hydro or Geo) = 1000 + 20*Yield Chief Planner to Ur-Lord Tedric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 So if you find a world with a 200 or better rating you will be able to generate as much power as a fission or fusion plant using the same CM's. Plus you have the bonus of not having to use resources to power the facilites or worry too much about disaster should that part of the game be implemented as Im sure it will one day.

Laserwolf Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Of course those of us with 1150 Hydro Potential can run our entire planet on 8 hydro plants. a tremendous savings on construction materials. Also. it is a good first power plant to drop on a new colony. Only 250k CM and worse case you still get 1000 power without needing coal/radioactives/water, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krelnett_of_Kraan Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hm. We seem to think 'bigger'. Of course, our sociologists have noticed that insectoid races tend to be more concerned with efficiency than convenience, as opposed to you mammalians. Our current favorite is the Fusion Plant. Drop enough CMs for that and a Water Purification Plant and the colony is probably set forever. Of course, part of that is because every planet we've found worth colonizing has a high water yield.

Wow! You can get by with jussst 192,000 power, I need at leassst 34 of thossse Hydro plantsss. CTO, Sssarasss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Anyting that requires fuel can run out and it is a real pain to exclude resources all the time just to run your power. Hydro or Geo is the only way for my colonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMartinB Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Norm - giving away my hydro potential! Tsk tsk... 34k per plant...Not bad and only the 4th best resource on the home world :-) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserwolf Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 You have it that big there too? Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krelnett_of_Kraan Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 "Slight risk of epic disaster..." Have you ever encountered this Krelnett? Nope. Oh, and for completeness' sake, we have 21 plants on our HW, to cover all our mines, stripmines, etc. and enough left over to completely power all 300 shipyards.

Krelnett_of_Kraan Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Umm... Both, now that I think about it. Damn, every time I drink I slip into singular pronouns. Feh; Guess you know I'm OoC easier that way, huh? RedSox rule!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
