Planetary Annihilation's Economy System

Hi..
a question to the economy...

when I control 2 planets and on both I produce metal and energy.. are they self-sufficient or share them the recourses? So has every planet its own economy?

Right now they are planned to all share resources.

Correct. It would be an interesting place to experiment though.

pls i would love to see seperate economies that are linkable by metal only, being able to send metal to where you need it in the solar system.

this could make or break the multiple planets gameplay.

It will be a Mod. It will very swiftly be a Mod. I know multiple people who are planning to Mod it.

BTW I'm really happy with how the economic system is working compared to, for example, TA. It really is a lot harder to tank your economy.

could an massive EMP from the metal planet be a way to shut down ressource tranfer from planet to planet? (because, you know, robots from the future have captured assimilated and refined ressources into waves)
I can see this being soooo strategically deep.

Um... dude... you're supposed to post that image in response to someone who reanimates a thread.
But plus 1

i find this thread to be important... especially considering the new flux of players

Its a shame.

But this thread is perhaps the worst one, because they most important line of the description

• When your energy is drained, the amount of energy builders use is prorated. The metal output is also reduced via that prorated amount.
• When your metal is drained, the amount of metal builders produce is prorated. However, energy drain is not affected. It still costs full energy to power the builder.

Doesn't use language that people understands. Bumping the UI economy mod is a much better way to do it, because that mod actually tells you what your build rate is.

it would be if they tried to fix the economy (i say fix but it only needs a basic change of removing the fact that fabbers always use 1000 energy regardless of wether they are applying 10 metal or 0 metal. i guess my only hope is to keep posting it everywhere so that it gets noticed)

Cool, but I would never understand it enough before I play the game

Keep in mind the original Post was created back in FEBRUARY and has had over 700 posts discussing it.

The Original Post isn't really relevant in many aspects anymore due to changes.

the discussion is important as it fosters understanding... and if it is on the front page.. we wont see a whole other thread created

you must be new around here. Bumping this old outdated thread doesn't help at all, as evidenced by the posts posted since the bump that reference the Original post that is 9+ months old.

There are about 5 threads with player descriptions of how the economy actually works?

Making it so that an energy stall affects metal production, AND a metal stall affects energy production?

I could get behind that.

That wouldn't be a bad idea.

Generally, my only commenton that is why are you worried stalling metal will stall power when you should have both n00b?

Besides the fact that either shouldn't happen or you should already have power not to care or your a scrub, it would be a very forgiving mechanic, and we could use more of those.

im going to assume you are talking to me.

First off, you are the scrub around here.

Secondly, this is not about linking power to metal, but making it so that an active usage of fabricators will not completely nullify all other things that require energy to run. (eg. radar if you have not played the game).

Besides, it really is not linking power to metal, it just means that the base resource that fabricators run fabricate with is metal, and not energy. Energy is consumed to apply metal. Metal application should not be a nifty by-product for using fabricators to waste energy.
