** Note that you can choose extractions that produce alot in the short term, but ultimately produce less in total, or trickle in, but generate more total product in the long term, depending on how much you want to babysit the extractors, and how consistently your Processors are running. Consensus seems to lean toward the 24 hour extraction. We could choose the long and copious extraction easily on this planet due to its great abundance, but to demonstrate overloaded links, I am choosing the 5 hour extraction since it creates a larger point load on the links. | |||
* Upgrade links (and Submit) Partway through surveying and routing, we got the message "The route can not be created as adding traffic to one of the links over which it travels would create dangerous levels of congestion." If we hover the mouse over a link it will tell us the level of usage of the link. If we click on the destination it will tell us the link usage of all the routes arriving at that destination. It would appear that we have to upgrade two links, the one just before the Storage, and the Extractor-Extractor link just upstream of that. Click on the link to be upgraded, and click on the Link-Plus icon. You will be given a quote of how much more CPU/PG this will cost. If it is acceptable, click on the Upgrade button. | |||
