I seem to remember that I can make one really good ore mining unit to make my schematic with and then use junk ones for the factory run?


Is this true? I thought the ore mining units required matching serial numbers for the factory run?


And, if its true I am assuming it works on heavy mineral harvestorsas well as fusion generators.



Thanks for the info and saving me the time to test it on my own, hehe

I think that works for fusions. It does not work for minerals as far as I know.

Heavy harvs need 2 factory crated units,which now come in crates of 5 ,still think they should have made them 10



hmm ¿

The bug that you are referring to only works for fusions. When you make a factory schematic for a fusion, it factors in the quality of the OMU in figuring out the final BER. However, there is a bug in that it doesn't record the "serial number" of that OMU into the schematic. So you *can* (for now) make one great OMU (by hand) using good materials, and then a factory run of OMUs using absolute junk resources, and run off fusions that way.


The bug is only for the fusion schematic. The other heavy harvesters all (correctly) put the serial number into the schematics.


Personally I just make a schematic for top-end OMUs and ignore the bug. That way I'm not exploiting a game mechanic and I don't have to worry about it catching up with me. Your mileage may vary.

Ahh, Its a bug, I see..



Well, Iwill justforget about it then the ore mining units dont cost that much to makeanyway. Thanks for the info.
