A little more unsolicited advice:

If you run wind generators, try build or buy 9 BER (base extraction rate) models. These are cheaper to run than solar panels, which I think max out at 10 BER. The extra point the solars give you is not worth the extra maintenance costs.

I recommend you save up for and purchase a Fusion generator with a BER of 14 (or two, or three). These can be expensive, going from 100k to 200k depending on your server, but a well placed Fusion can supply all your power needs. If you normally buy power, these pay for themselves in about 7 - 10 days. (Depends on the % concentration you find, the PE value, what you normally buy power for, etc)

When searching for radioactive, PE is the attribute you want to be high. OQ has little/no effect wen used as power for factories and harvestors.

I just purchased Fusions number 7 and 8 for my harvestor fleet, and I couldn't be happier. When a decent vein of radioactive spawns, I drop all my fusions on it and my power needs aremet. I actully destroyed my solars last year because no one would buy them.

Forgot to add look at the Potential Energy (PE) anything over 700-999 will give you twice or more of what the stack shows which means it will last longer.

Kassuf,

Thanks for the advice. I recently put up a guild hall which requires 7 lots and a 2 lot house so I thought that I would fill the last slot up with something. I mainly doing this as a "what to do with only one lot" hobby, but I may alternate between using a Fusion generator and a heavy extractor.
