OFFWORLD TRADING COMPANY TIPS UPGRADE
As you don’t need glass to upgrade (you do need a little bit to buy some things, but you can buy a little bit off the market), you can (and probably should), skip right to electronics. The key difference for robotic really occurs latter in the mid game when you don’t need glass to upgrade (unlike everyone else), and you don’t need to worry about water/food/fuel/and mostly not oxygen (except for glass production). Robotic: In some ways, robotic is a lot like expansive, you still need steel (and therefor high lvls of iron) and high lvl aluminum, at first. So this is something to look for when deciding if you should go expansive in a given area. If it’s a critical resource like silicon people might not notice until they try to make glass. Place your production facilities (steel mill/glass furnace, etc) and colony hq on top of these nodes (and get a few to collect that resource), and basically make sure that no one else can mine the resource but you. A somewhat powerful strategy for expansive on some maps is to try to identify one resource that is not available very much on the map.
OFFWORLD TRADING COMPANY TIPS PATCH
Preferably at least iron or al would be a high lvl patch so you can double/triple on the other. That said, double/triple up on resources is fine with expansive if needed. While expansive gets a lot of claims, they would prefer to use as few of these on the base resources as possible and instead focus on production facilities. Some high lvl patches of water or silicon somewhat near by (can have a bit of distance for these), would also be nice. Having a lvl3 patch or a lvl1 patch does not matter to the scientific, but for aluminum (which is always good to have a high lvl patch of for scientific).Įxpansive: You are looking for high lvl patches of iron (preferably tripled), and high lvl patches of aluminum. Large patches of resources closely bunched, but of any level are what you are looking for. Also good to have lots of triple patches of silicon and water. Scientific: You are looking for at least a triple patch of iron of any level (don’t start a scientific without a triple patch of iron), and a high lvl aluminum patch.

You also need some aluminum fairly need by, it isn’t as required (you can ship it from further away but prefably not cross map), but having a good high lvl aluminum nearby would be good too. Scavengers don’t get many claims, and they build all their resources off carbon, so getting that high level carbon is really needed, and having multiple carbons to amplify that latter is even better. Scavenger: You are looking for a good large amount of carbon, ideally, a triple carbon with one as a level 3 carbon (at least one high lvl carbon is really needed).

Let’s start with the more unique and specific. Don’t pick a colony type and say “this is what I am going to build” before you see what the resources are like (you will box yourself into a much worse position if you do this most of the time). To answer this question you got to know what to look for each of the different types of colonies. Ok, so you are pinging around, now you have to decide (1) is this plot of land good, and (2) if so what type of colony do I want to found here. If you see a bunch of resources (but don’t know what they are yet) spending a ping to go see what they are is also good. Most likely if something near the starting location is good, someone else is going to see it and pick it up or you will be fighting over it with others, better to go get your own good plot of land. Instead try to pick a direction heading towards flat land (easier to build on), and start pinging in that direction getting away from the starting location. First, you don’t want to ping a lot around the starting location, everyone starts there.
