Your biggest complex ?

[jlehtone]

is this still ure complex in herons nebula or an other one?

I just dropped Cahoona L in the middle of The Hole, and then another Cahoona L next to it for testing. The real build will be in Antigone Memorial. The Herron-part was already 'final' in my previous comment with screenshots. AM requires still one Mine to be pulled to the Y = +20 km plane before I place factories for real.

Finished my complex... (But posted first in the wrong topic...)

Stations: 401
Products:
GPPC (x 110)
AFAA (x 17)
BFAA (x 17)
1 GJ Shields (x 12)
and all supporting factories/asteroids.

Cost: 2.8 billion (already paid back!)
Profit per hour: 28 million
Time to build: 7 game days (yuck)

I almost got my Antigone done last night (16 GPPC to go). Pales in comparison to your setup.

How do you sell the product(s)?

[CreHater]

Manually… The complex is in Mines Of Fortune.
One sector to the south, there is a Teladi Equipment dock that does not sell any of these weapons.
So I have parked five Mercury Super Freighters at my complex. As soon as I have enough stock, I load them up, and send them to the equipment dock.

Takes just a couple of seconds to sell.

You do have 110 GPPC Forges. If they do run in sync, you will get 110 GPPC at a time. There is room for 7 cycles. 110 * 150 = 16.500 cargo units. More than a Merc.

What I would do (and already do) is to have one TS with CLS (Commodity Logistics) script and one Mammoth. Set the CLS to deliver guns to the Mammoth. When the Mammoth gets fat, fly it to EQdock and sell.

[CreHater]

They do not run in sync… Never will. I connected a maximum of 9 of these in one go. And because I have so many, they are nicely distributed over time.

I never got the CLS to work the way you described. The transporters never delivered the PPC's to the Mammoth. Unfortunately. The transporter device just was not used.

I think CLS in 3.1.04 is different from 3.1.03 and before. But the one transporter based CLS of mine has not worked either. I assume that it simply waits for significant load (new complex). The other complex of mine has Falcon Hauler. It does dock into Mammoth and works fine. Naturally, it does fly a lot.


Edit: Antigone Memorial populated.

Type: non-selfsufficient weapon complex
Cost: 663,119,628
Factories: 81
CCK: 80

Short on Crystals, Ore, and Silicon. However, if served with Crystals, ought to be able to empower external Silicon and Ore production. Earlier in this thread I did post Herron's Nebula, the Crystal producer. GPPC is for manual sale, HEPTs and 25MJ for fleet, and 1MJ for passive sale.

The mines are not quite in line, but most of the complex is in the North, while the hub is South-West of the SouthGate-WestGate route.

From South:

While the hub is just above the eplictic plane, most of the complex is on Y=+20km or above.

The GPPC array(s):

I made them sparse in order to keep the tubes my way, but the damn connection logic still rewired it.

I suggest you read the entire thread first before making a judgement. Besides, adding comments to older threads is not always polite, unless they clearly contribute to the topic and and the topic is still relevant.

Can't agree, it does look sweet and you need to be mad to build mega complexes, imho, I've tried lol.

As for "old" threads, they are only as old as the person looking at them for the first time. Banning folks from replying to old threads only makes the searches almost impossible to use, e.g. fifty million hits for complex, and artificially inflates the thread counts, imo, an archaic and chaotic way of running a board.

But hey, not my boards, but it is my opinion. (I'm allowed an opinion?)

Its not even "mega". Only 81 factories. Large, yes.

Just look at the previous page of this thread (szuur and CreHater). Now those are in mega-giga scale. That is why I asked to read the thread.
