hi i'm new, i have been playing as the advent. whenever i attempt to convert a trade post into a refinery it disables the actions of the trade post and disables all ships directly correlated with it. when i switch it back it continues to function properly as a trade post.
can you help me out here?
It's supposed to do that. You can have it do one or the other, but not both. I believe it simply increases the rate at which the asteroids at that planet produce resources.
Tec has both trade ships and refinery ships, different type of ship for each.
Advent would not have refinery ships, so when you switch it to refinery, the trade ships become redundent.
so does this mean that it automatically increases income? how can i tell? when i highlight to see the "refinery quota" it says 0/3. do i have to have all my trade ports set to refinery in a system? you two have both helped, but i'm still slightly confused.
The Advent do not use refinery ships, so the refinery quota on extractors is meaningless. What Resource Focus does is increase the extraction rate of resources of all extractors in the gravity well the Trade Port (which is using Resource Focus) is in. Initially, Resource Focus increases extraction rate by 8%, but can be increased to 17% and finally 25% (upgrades are tier 7 tech). Since RF is based on a percentage of the current extraction rate, it has the largest effect on planets that have high extraction rates to begin with (those with high alleigance or extraction bonuses).
Just be wary you don't break your longest chain of trade routes, unless you absolutely need the increased resource income rate.
thanks so much i think i get it.
one more question: if i have more than one trade dock then can i have one for extraction and one for trading or do they all switch?
You can set each one to what you want. Once researched, Resource Focus shows up as an ability for each trade port.
