== 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:

* Command Centers can now be upgraded.

** Basic command centers are bought from the market.

*Command Centers can now be upgraded.

** Colonies are then upgraded inside colony management, even remotely.

**Basic command centers are bought from the market.

* Extraction has been totally changed

**Colonies are then upgraded inside colony management, even remotely.

** 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.

*Extraction has been totally changed

** 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).

**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.

* Extractor Control Unit

**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).

** The number of extractor heads can be varied for free, then moved around for better yield.

*Extractor Control Unit

** They allow the installation (and stopping!) of extraction programs any time.

**The number of extractor heads can be varied for free, then moved around for better yield.

** The extraction time period can be varied as well, with longer time-frames providing more potential east-of-use, at the cost of reduced yield.

**They allow the installation (and stopping!) of extraction programs any time.

** 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

**The extraction time period can be varied as well, with longer time-frames providing more potential east-of-use, at the cost of reduced yield.

** 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 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

** The ECU does not need to be within areas of high resource concentration itself, as the heads move freely.

**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.

*Extractor heads

**The ECU does not need to be within areas of high resource concentration itself, as the heads move freely.

** The length of the extraction program is represented in the area of effect of the heads. Longer extraction programs create larger areas.

*Extractor heads

** Overlapping extraction areas get a penalty to extraction amount and will be displayed as a red number in the extraction areas.

**The length of the extraction program is represented in the area of effect of the heads. Longer extraction programs create larger 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.

**Overlapping extraction areas get a penalty to extraction amount and will be displayed as a red number in the extraction areas.

** 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.)
