| == Changes to PI in Incursion 1.1.0 ==
| |
|
| |
| This information has to be merged into the whole article. But to get your installations running again here a quick list of changes made with the January 2011 release of the Incursion 1.1:
| |
|
| |
| *Command Centers can now be upgraded.
| |
| **Basic command centers are bought from the market.
| |
| **Colonies are then upgraded inside colony management, even remotely.
| |
| *Extraction has been totally changed
| |
| **Old extractors have been removed. They will finish the cycle they have installed and then go offline forever. Their value will be reimbursed when they are deleted.
| |
| **The new system is extractor control units (ECU) which have extractor heads instead. This creates a central control point with up to 10 heads for the extraction (each head requires power/CPU).
| |
| *Extractor Control Unit
| |
| **The number of extractor heads can be varied for free, then moved around for better yield.
| |
| **They allow the installation (and stopping!) of extraction programs any time.
| |
| **The extraction time period can be varied as well, with longer time-frames providing more potential ease-of-use, at the cost of reduced yield.
| |
| **The extracted material can be changed each cycle, allowing one ECU to harvest anything on the planet, one at a time. Though resource distribution may affect the feasibility of switching
| |
| **Each ECU has a maximum range for its extractor heads. The heads may be moved freely within this area, with penalties for any overlapping extraction areas. Head distance from ECU ''may'' affect extraction amount.
| |
| **The ECU does not need to be within areas of high resource concentration itself, as the heads move freely.
| |
| *Extractor heads
| |
| **The length of the extraction program is represented in the area of effect of the heads. Longer extraction programs create larger areas.
| |
| **Overlapping extraction areas get a penalty to extraction amount and will be displayed as a red number in the extraction areas.
| |
| **Yield is affected by the length of the cycle, the amount of resources under the heads, the position of the heads and the depletion of the resource over time.
| |
| **Play around a bit with the positioning to get the most out of extraction programs before their installation. (Though any mistakes can be immediately rectified.)
