I wish I could use Del Vatos more, and I try, but their colonies develop to slow at the beginning. And Richard really isn't too much of a bonus once you have enough to build Spice Den III, or at least one Spice Den I on every planet. Right now I have probably 3 Richard colonies and 18 Cadar, and I'm getting ~88 RP per turn. I think the answer is to boost Rychart and De Valtos because once the houses drop it is going to be a toss up who is more awesomer Cadar, Javat or Thulun. |

I never seem to have a problem getting DeV to grow. Just feed them right.
It's Rychart I can't seem to get moving

3 mines, lots of habs, keep available factories at 2 or 3 below if I want to keep population steady, 2 or 3 above population if I want them to grow.

I think of factories as plant food and habs as seed. If I plant seeds but no food, no plants. Add food but no seeds, no plants. Seeds plus food give me plants.

I should say that differently.
Population are seeds
industrial CP are sun/water/dirt
Trade cp and spice are miracle grow. Great to build really big veggies, but it can't be what you actually sow your seeds in.

I have had various planets that had 1 more factory than population and it stayed steady for a long time. But yeah I get your idea, keep lots of hab units with them. When you start a colony, what's the first thing you build? Since then have 1CP per turn, it would be devastating to invest in someting then have the need for something else. |

regardless of research level, I start everything at level 1, assuming I start with 1/2 population
Cadar/Rychart: Mine, factory, hab, hab, factory. then upgrade all of those to next level if I have it or go for another mine.
DeV: Mine, Hab, Factory, Hab, Hab, Factory. Again, then upgrade if available.
Ragardless, I like at least 3 mines per colony unless the quality dictates otherwise.

How do you get away with that for DeValtos? My building scheme for a current DeValtos colony so far looks like: DeV: Hab, Hab, Hab, Hab, Hab, Hab, Factory, Hab (because my morale is now down to 3/10 from how many turns it took to build the factory), Hab, Mine, upgrades. Is there some way to cope with the population growth/low CP for DeValtos?! I've just been building Cadar colonies instead lol. |

Lol ... funniest thing in the world is there is no De Valtos population bonus.
It's one of the things that by now is probably too late and just ingrained in the pysche of the community. But there never was, nor will ever be, a Pop bonus for DV.

Yeah sure, and the Senate isn't a bunch of Naridians dressed up in skin suits. Keep the lies coming, we see right through you.

There might not be a bonus, but the ghost in the machine grows their pop faster than anyone.
It happens with every colony of DeV.

But there never was, nor will ever be, a Pop bonus for DV. Isn't their an income bonus from population on Del Vatos? Would this mean that the machine thinks since more population = more money => uncontrollable robot controlled reproduction? |
