Thread: Resource question

    I am sending small harvesters to my outposts. Not sure why the planets never empty of resources - they just increase even though I have the route working back and forth (other outposts do run out).

    If the outpost's resource generation is greater than the rate of transport of your harvesting ship, then the outpost's resources can remain the same or even increase. Outposts right next to my colonies all run out of stockpiled resources, but further away, outposts, even with multiple harvesters, do not.

    How far away from the destination are the outposts that are still increases in their total minerals? A small harvester can only keep up with a planet within 2 parsecs IIRC, anything further away you need a resource harvester or more than 1 small harvester to fully utilize it.
