Ya build the resource that has the bonus. Build endurium at low ob costs. Build mines at medium ob costs . Build rcs at high ob costs. Use resource and construction science. Watch the market. Have agents to protect your infra

Re: what's the best resource building strategy?

1, only place rc on rc bonus planets

2, build to the bonus up to 300% on all planets.

3, if you go past 300%, you'll be doing it in mining facilities most likely because you'll need to mass more iron than endu/oct

4, research the hell out of your resource research

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: what's the best resource building strategy?

Try to keep a ratio like if u were planning to build CF, at least at start, then add what you need for fleet and food needs.
Expoing 16 plts I would go for something like 10-11 Iron, 2-3 endo, 2 food, 1 oct.
Ofc you must adapt to family needs.
All iron plts are for resourcers, endo above 16%, same for food, and oct above 25%. Under it's for bankers.
Iron plts can go 700%-1000% or more with only MF
Endo plts between 300 or 500% according to needs and % of the plt, above it's too expensive. Then MFs, then RCs
Oct plts 200-300% then MFs then RCs
Food 700-1000% or more with only farms
Science plts can help a lot, you can start them with MFs then put RCs above 100% or put only RCs on them according to needs and what u have in bank when u build them.
You can play with RCs, sometimes bank has spare endo and cash to build them for exemple to OB some expensive plts like endo or oct. After a short time they paid back.
If you need to produce more of these resources, u can raze these RCs in order to pay a cheaper jump ( on MF and farms it's not really worthy since cost isn't that high), then add RCs above.

If 2-3weeks before eor you have amazing resource% (65-75%) there is no point to keep the RCs to grow like 1% each 3 days, you can raze the RCs and replace them with MFs to produce more.

BTW, Unless you are the agent opper, try to pay upkeep the less as possible. Most of your upkeep goes for buildings at time of peace, so just let ur fleet die and rebuild what you lost daily, that will be much cheaper than upkeeping it.

Re: what's the best resource building strategy?

-Set a goal of 2 planets in each of your core systems to start with, and find there the best bonus planets and bookmark them.

-Pick Quantum and researh 50% resources 50% constrution, and you dont have to touch it at all.

-Remember the real resource planets are this:

Iron -> any bonus
Endu -> from 40% to 50% bonus
Octa -> from 45% to 50% bonus
Food -> from 40% to 50% bonus
Science -> any equal or higher than 50

You should bookmark the endu, octa, food and science planets wiht those bonuses in your core, the iron bonus are easier to find out whenever you send a ezplo wave, plus you'll have much more than any other bonus, so no point in bookmark iron.  Any other planet is considered a banker planet.

-When new resources appear (as a GE in the game) you gonna check every single unezplored planet in your core and bookmark those that got high bonuses.

-A good strat is to ezplo 1 bonus 1 science in every inner core system, and OB them to 300%. Whenever you have reached your core goal (2, 3 or 4 planets in each core system) you can OB to 600% of all bonuses and adding MFs in all your science planets.

-If your initial core is ezpanded you can use the same strat divided/2 for the new outer core (2 inner/1 outer  OR  4 inner/2 outer). But always remember to be small enuf to keep your reseach high for jumps (I wouldnt have more than 4 planets in a system, that's too fat)

-When 3/4 of the round has passed you can either decide to demolish all your RCs and build MFs instead

-Defensive setup for a resser is fig strong (50/50 figs/droids gonna be the perfect ratio) because in wars you will avoid any share and force your enemy to ranged attacks, and his main figs will be mostly busy with your Hc attaker.  You'll have to be agent strong (very strong) and standard wizzies amount. If you're ever cpffd you gonna station hard figs to defend any important bloked portal, the enemy will get it hard to DU because of your agents superiority (you should keep infils updated and always be one step ahead from the enemy agent opper, but use your agent mob as defense, and add agents everytime they fail an op on you). About iron being opped its always a risk, so you'll have to move it fast to your bankers and attakers.


EDIT:  why so important to stay relatively small??
1-for morale reasons, your enemy gonna lose more morale when attaking you
2-for efficience reasons, if you are small and OBed to 600% you are taking the biggest profit of the ressie bonuses, and large empire costs wont be high when you do an infra jump in new planets.
3-for stability reasons, if you're ever raided, the NW loss will be high, but the ressie production will be kept because of your research going up the tic after, you also know that your construction bonus gonna boost so you can start cheap infra the tic after.

It happened to me, with this setup, after losing 3 OB planets with infra, the tic after I was producing even more because of research being boosted. This does not happen when you are fat, because the NW loss is not significant enough.
