You can expand the range of FDN by ensuring the factories are within range of a SPP or an advanced satellite.TheElix wrote:I've installed v.2 and now it says I need to expand the range of SPP. How do I do that? I have 1 SPP L and 20 factories around it. I bunched them toghether tightly and still it says I need to expand the range Actually, I don't like the idea of SPP being the centre of the FDN.
edit: ok, I tried harder and managed to bunch them closer to each other and aesthetically better. I said I didn't like the idea with SPP, but, on the other hand, it helps to localize the complex.
Another thing I noticed is that SPP often stays without crystals while all crystal fabs have quite a stock of crystals. They are all in FDN range and Supply Resources/Secondary Resources and Supply Products options are all on.
You need SPP in sector for FDN to work; the factories need to be in range of an SPP or Advanced Satellite to be visible to FDN.
The reasoning behind this is that FDN would need an infrastructure in place & maintained to provide full coverage. I went down this route as it gives FDN what I think is a realistic cost base rather than just a one off fee of a timed based charge.
As I said on the main post, I’m happy to provide a restriction free version on request.
