Where is it ? What does it produce ? How many fabs ?

Just curious

PS screenshots of the complex are most welcome

Read that thread.

Then take a deep breath and read that thread.

I'm at work so I dont have exacts but my primary and first complex in elenas fortune makes and sells spacefuel and Ore and silicone
it has 5 spacefuel L's
linked up to that are all the solar plants and supporting factories.
its been cobbled together one piece at a time without a calculator so I have no idea how efficiant it is really..but it sells as fast as it produces without seller shipping

as an experiment I started building an additional spacefuel fab in Presidents end and it sells the same way without hurting the market next door...I have no idea how much booze it will take to satisfy all the drunks in X-3 but Im doing my best to find out

Info from merrox super calculater

The 3 XL Solar plant is placed in Mi Ton's since there is 0% sun in looma, uses a script that transports energy cells one way and Crystals back (Cargo Delivery Service from Klaatu), connected all the silicon mines and ore mines in the Lomma sector, big overproduction for further expansion that is planed.

Suns are no issue in X3. SPP's will produce in every sector at the same cycle rate.

Nice complex you have there, impressive.

Hmm strange i placed them first in Looma but they would not produce anything, I could have been to impatient.

Well it looks really weedy next to that one above, but I'm proud...

Light of Heart:

5 x Space Fuel M
2 x Wheat Farm L
1 x SPP L
3 x Crystal Fab
3 x Cahoona Bakery M
3 x Cattle Ranch M
2 x Silicone Mine L (one 18 yield, one 17 yield, not much choice in LoH)

It looks like it was built by a junkie spider going cold turkey, but there you go...makes about 1.2-1.4m an hour.

i have a complex in family pride wich is not meant for profit but 2 equip my own ships here it goes....

1x SPP XL
5x crystal fabs
2x silicon mines L
1x ore mine L
3x cattle ranch L
3x cahoona bakeries L
2x chelt space aquarium M
2x rastar refineries M
2x 25 MJ shields
1x 1GJ shield
2x AHEPT forge
1x BPAC forge
1x APPC forge

total of 26 stations, took me hours 2 calculate energy and resource requirements without the complex calculator and more hours 2 set it up wit an ellie and a orca, but im so proud of myself

Bunny · Post by **Bunny** » Fri, 6. Oct 06, 16:48

The current record appears to be 672 stations?

(makes 30 Mil an hour)

Ammok Rules · Post by **Ammok Rules** » Fri, 6. Oct 06, 22:14

the german ones don't count

only kidding

my biggest complex is about 87 stations and i'm starting a new one simply because of lag. I would need one those four core thingymabobs to go any higher i reckon, or built in an asteriod free sector, but what good would that be?

Reminds me: If I make a complex that spans several sectors with the use of ships, how should I count it?

My 53 does not lag, unless I go there. So I try not to.

Just remembered, my X2 game has an 81-er in Elena's.

foxy42 · Post by **foxy42** » Fri, 6. Oct 06, 22:40

Mine's grown today...

5 Space Fuel Distillery M
2 Wheat Farm L
5 Crystal Fab M
7 Cahoona Bakery M
5 Cattle Ranch M
1 Cattle Ranch L
3 Silicone Mine L (18, 17, 15)
2 Solar Power Plant L
4 Silkworm Missile Factory
1 Ore Mine L (21)

Silkworms and space fuel...dangerous combination!!

35 stations if you can't be arsed to count.

PS OK I promise I won't post this in any more threads today...

As was recently pointed out to me, kits don't count!!

I'm catching up with you fast...

lol, fair enough, but 51 stations is impressive to me anyway, and i've just set out plans for another 100 or so

Ammok Rules · Post by **Ammok Rules** » Fri, 6. Oct 06, 22:50

not laughing at the 51, but foxy trying to catch up,

becuase the number of stations you both can get in a sector will probably finish when you get fed up with the lag.

One of my complexes over produces ore, silicon and energy but i can't stick anymore on it cos it's down to about one frame per second and takes about ten minutes to load.

and i'd love the machine that built that 672 station complex.......drooool........

Ammok, was it you (or was it geggo) that said you were an IT pro? I've been an IT pro since the age of 12 (17 years ago

)...so I absolutely HAVE to have the top hardware. This is what I have right now, and I'm thinking it needs a major upgrade! It's been nearly 6 months since the last one, and I fancy a crazy CPU and a Quad SLI set up next...might even go direct to Alienware...I don't mind paying a bit extra for the pretty case (but mainly for someone else to build the damn thing, I just can't be arsed anymore)...

Athlon 64 3700+ (running at 3003, that 800mhz o/c'ed)
Asus A8N SLI (overclocking king

)
2GB DDR400 RAM (1.70v)
ATI X1900XTX 512MB (can't remember core speed...er 800mhz I think, VRAM DDR3 runs 1600mhz right now, but with a bit of voltage tweaking, I'm sure I could squeeze more out of it, trouble is, the amount of hours I'm playing X3 lately, I gotta be careful with the o/c'ing)
20.1" LG TFT 1600x1200 native.

It's more than adequate for X3 though...

Ammok Rules · Post by **Ammok Rules** » Fri, 6. Oct 06, 23:23

well foxy if you can't top 100 with that rig no one can. It's geggo who earns a living with IT however, but i can program in assembler, fortran 4 and basic, programmed a spectrum z80 with a bomb the buildings game(what a cpu that was!!!) and can take any pc to pieces and put it back correctly, but i enjoy networking mostly. I build an occasional rig for other keen gamers, but everyone else i direct to my local pc shop, customer support for friends is time consuming and gamers tend to figure things out for themselves.

I have an overclocked barton 2500 with a gig of ram, but it is showing its age, but finances are a little tight at the moment so no upgrading soon i'm afraid

With a Core 2 Extreme thats OC'd to 3.5Ghz, 2x GeForce 7950 GX2's and 8 gigs of ram running on my 3d Rendering PC, I'm sure I can push 700.

note: That rig is running XP media Center Edition which is why it can register all 8 gigs.
