Terraforming Questions

Post by Old Drullo321 » Thu, 23. Sep 21, 15:51

I'm just about to start terraforming, beginning with the Memory of Profits mission but some questions arise.

1. Just to avoid mistakes, every available terraforming project (like Powerplants, Housings, Atmosphere, Nividium Workshop) is local. E.g. if i build the Nividium workshop in Memory of Profits, it won't be available when on another terraforming project in another sector? So building a antimatter power plant only gives me discount on that specific planet?

2. If I build a Nividum workshop (or similar projects like the recruit training facilities) on Memory of Profits, do I have access to it while working somewhere else on another Terraforming project, for example Eighteen Billions?

3. In theory, is it possible to build special projects like the Nividium workshop or the recruit training facilities anywhere, not just on the corresponding planet / mission?

4. Based from my understanding, I could build as many projects (like Housings) and special buildings (like the Nividium Workshop) on the planet as long as I provide the ressources and meet the requirements. So i could build housing for 200 Mio. people just for fun in Memory of Profits?


PS.: I searched Reddit, Egosoft Forums, Steam Forums, Youtube and the Egosoft X4 wiki for answers, but nowhere are those fundamental basics explained.

1. Correct
2. HQ has to be in the actual sector. in your example, Memory of Profit, to access the Nvidium workshop. same for training facilities.
3. the Nvidium workshop is a unique project, there are several other unique projects on other sites, so no.
4. yes you can, some secondary projects do even get boosted by population, in your example. the "mission" only need the projects mentioned, (you could do the others for fun/immersion though) some primary mission objectives require projects not on the actual list (atmospheric projects need a powerplant, CO2 / methane )

Grapedog's topic in this section of the forum has the entire breakdown, if you want to "spoil" the entire thing.

Thanks for the clarification. That helps planing alot. So either I stay at one location as long as i have enough (training pilots, earning money through Nividium) or jumping back to it later.

Yeah, you can revisit at some point if you want.,no worries. Might want to save some Nvidium Though.

The fund startup also seems to be tied to location, ive had some success in one location and the next tier of investment seems fixed for that location only, (153 B potential reward, lol. )

Are the training facilities / Aerial Maze unique or can I build them everywhere. If that would be the case i would start wih Memory of Profit because they share the same prerequsities.

thruthfully, i haven't checked all 7, but i think so.

you can double-check the project without travelling there with the HQ btw, just check the encyclopedia for the "root" sector, should have a terraforming button.
- Memory of Profit in your case (not the subsectors)

Ah yes, i didn't see the difference first. So for every project everything that is available while Terraforming is shown. For example the key difference between Memory of Profits and Eighteen Billions is the missing Nividium Workshop.

Could someone tell me what "Strengten the insertfactionhere" actually means as a reward in game terms?
