Do you guys think that maybe the basic metal extract should give 10 metal per second but the advanced one only 20? That way the early game would reward expansion while the late game doesn't just bathe you in ressources the moment you start building advanced stuff. Or maybe make it that both give you 15? Then they would only be useful in combination which would make basic fabbers to build basic MEX even more useful. The values can be altered of course, like, they can be discussed about. Perhaps it would make more sense the discuss the ratio of basic metal extraction to advanced metal extraction. So either 1:2, 1:1, etc etc etc.
i think having only adv. should be a lower income than currently, but that both together should be greater than the sum of the two.
I still find it weird that you can, apparently, just build an Advanced on top of a Basic and have a bonus for the models clipping. Unless I'm wrong.
That's not a bug or anything. The advanced one really fits well over the basic one. You basically just add two more metal pumps to the one that is already there. Like, those littler thumper like things those are the pumps.
The models are designed to fit into each other, a t1 and t2 together are meant to be a sort of pseudo t3.
