Architect Archive

I just built a solar power generator but when I got to the experimentation phase, I was only allowed to experiment on hopper size, not BER. I'm a 2/4/2/1 architect, working my way towards master, and wanted to switch to solars. However, without experimentation, the BER was only 8 which I can get on my experimented wind generators - so what's the use in switching?

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

No, you aren't missing anything - or at least no more than the rest of us.

We don't know if it is a "bug" or a "feature", but right now you can't experiment the extraction rate on either the solar or fusion. That means that the solar is limited to BER8, and the fusion can go BER13 or 14 (it does get a boost from an experimented Ore Mining Unit). Despite repeated attempts to get an answer from the devs, we simply don't know. It could stay this way forever or tomorrow morning the extraction rate experimentation could appear.

So right now BER9 wind generators are the king at the low end, and then BER14 fusions at the top end. No one would speed the resources to build a solar right now.

Thanks for the reply ZenDragon!! Guess I'll stick with my windies for a lil while longer.
