Should resources be tracked per planet/moon

No linked buildings? Why not? That was a major boon in SupCom, linking T-1 Gens to buildings to boost production helped your economy a lot, on the flip-side they were also priority targets by raiders to stall production and force the defended to tie up engineers rebuilding them. There's hardly a reason to forgo that in favor of some cut-and-dry production, it made you think on what to build and where.

It did however make many players think about never not linking their structures, besides its not like it is really an essential addition to the game.

Suppose not but why close the option?

True.

This is a point I didn't think of, against a pure global economy.

It would make no sense and be bad for gameplay if destroying a power plant in one place takes the defenses on another planet offline.

That's basically what everyone has been saying. This subject is hardly cut and dry.

Lol, no it didn’t. adjacency in supcom was practically worthless, with a few exceptions (the main one being mass storage on mexes).

Well the adjacency net to factory's paned out, resulting in production being much cheaper as time goes on.

Not really. As PKC said the only adjacency in FA worth a damn was storage next to a mex. In original supcom massfab adjacency was king.

At first its not much but it does pan out, as was the point with adjacency bonuses.

Mass is however very noticeable considering how much you get.

Stop being so wrong all the time.

sorry, but both these comments are completely wrong.

The thing is, I am not.

Saving even a few resources here and there will inevitably allow you to spend more.

so how am I wrong?

You are wrong because the resources and time you spend on making those bonuses would have been better spent on direct resource generation.

Over the short term I agree but with games going on over and up to an hour your economy will inevitably benefit.

T1 bonus aren't that great but by T2 and T3 you start to get bonus that are much more noticeable.

Maths says you are wrong. I trust maths more than your opinion.

The same to you.

The bonuses are still roughly the same percentage relative to the amount of power/mass being generated in the first place.

yes, but with less expenditure.

And moving over to this thread:

You just said (paraphrase) that it is too hard to repair everything manually because of the sheer amount of management involved in fighting across multiple systems/battlefields, equivalent to 2, 3 or more supcom/fa sized maps. And yet here you are trying to promote multiple discrete economies and a convoluted set of buildings and game mechanics to share resources between them.

Please settle on a fixed amount of desired micro and stick to it. There is no way that repairing your units/buildings is harder than managing multiple discrete economies.
