* Extraction has been totally changed

** Extractor have been removed. They will finish the cycle they have installed and then go offline forever. This means you have delete them after they have finished with the cycle.

** Now we have a combination of extractor control units (ECU) and extractor heads. This means you have one controlpoint for extraction (the ECU) up to 8 heads for the extraction.

** Now we have a combination of extractor control units (ECU) and extractor heads. This means you have one controlpoint for extraction (the ECU) up to 10 heads for the extraction (up to your ).

** There a several changes comming with this... but one major change that I noticed is that the ECU's use more power then the extractors and thus I cant place the same amout of 'extractors' as before (I will insert details later)

* Extractor Control Unit

Line 276:

** allow the change of the extracted material, thus u can extract one ressource one day, move extractors around and extract another ressource the other day.

** have a very large shaded area around it. This represents the area where extraction heads can be placed. This means u can place the ECU closer to the launch pad to save on the link costs between the two. But be aware that the performance of the heads also changes with the distance to the ECU (not clear in what way, that is still confusing to me, but it definitely affects extraction amount).

** do not place your ECU in the hotspot of the resource you are extracting to avoid getting it in the way! The heads extract, the ECU can be outside the hotspot.

*Extractot heads

** The length of the extraction programm is also represented in the area of effect the extractor is working. Longer extraction programms mean a larger area of effect.
