The scale of the infrastructure increases linearly with the radius of the planet. As such, the distance between two factories also increases linearly. | The scale of the infrastructure increases linearly with the radius of the planet.

* The Minimum Link distance (ml) on a planet of radius r is : ml = 0,012008578×r (with ml and r in km). This the distance between the center of two pins. | * The Minimum Link distance (ml) on a planet of radius r is : ml = 0,012008578×r (with ml and r in km).

We can then express the links on a planet as ''n'' the number of started links and ''k'' the ratio of total length compared to minimum length, <math>k=\sum_{link} link.length/ml </math>. Basically, k is the number of minimal size segments we use | We can then express the links on a planet as ''n'' the number of started links and ''k'' the ratio of total length compared to minimum length, <math>k=\sum_{link} link.length/ml </math>.

** if we link them directly to the launchpad, half of them will require 2 segments (those just after another HP) and the other half will require <math>\sqrt 3</math> segments. Therefore the total number of links is 18 , the total length is <math>6×1+6×2+6×\sqrt 3 = 28.4</math> minimal segments. | |||
** if we link them to the closest HP, then we add one minimal segment per new HP, total length is 18 | |||
Once this is done, we have the cost of links on a planet depending on those values and ''r'' the radius of that planet | Once this is done, we have the cost of links on a planet depending on those values and ''r'' the radius of that planet | ||
