X3 Guide of Secondary Resources.

Post by The Rogue Trader »

I have compiled this guide to help you decide on what secondary resource factory's to build for the AI stations. It also includes what stations and ships are sold by the shipyards in Argon, Teladi and Boron space.

It only states what resources are needed, not what stations to build.
As a very basic guideline if a secondary resource is needed 3 times in the same sector it would need one station to produce the resource.
For Example lets take a look at Empires Edge.
Empires Edge has 2 Soyery's (L and M) 3 Soyfarms (2L and 1M) and one Space Jewellery M that require secondary resources. By looking at this we see that we need to build the following stations.
Stott Mixery and Plankton Farm, 2 Sun Oil Refinerys and Flower Farms, a Teladianium Foundry, 2 Bio Gas Factorys a Rastar Refinery and Chelt Space Aquarium.
As a rule I tend to build size M stations for the AI's secondary resources this stops flooding the market.
To find out where to buy the stations check through the Shipyards to find out where they are sold. It doesn't matter if you build size L stations as the excess can be sold to your own stations or neighbouring sectors.

I like the spreadsheet.

Personally I think what is included in shipyards and the map is more useful than resources for me.
When there are no more games it is time for music.

Still need to do the Split and Paranid Shipyards though. Been playing :x3: and building factory's too much lately to concentarte on this though, perhaps I'll get around to finishing it one day.

You're missing an Unknown Sector west of New Income. Just FYI.
