[quote who="Jaiwera" reply="7" id="3628396"] Quoting duelking2000, reply 6 umm what? You lost me here. Couldn't you just take the per second fuel cost off of the per second profit from the tile? No mining rate needed then. That works after the building is constructed, but you don't see

Per second tells you the relative proportion of your income that's being lost to fuel. Per truck is only really useful for comparing the merits of advanced resources vs basic resources (which generally won't matter for distant buildings).

Duban's Galactic Warfare "strat guide" in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I find the best thing to do to get a REALLY good start is to first purchase 2 factories on every new planet and build the rest with the factories. Then on the first 2 planets build farms, markets, and an entertainment center. Give each planet 1 entertainment to keep moral controllable, except the economy planet which usually requires 2 or 3. Also sell "useless" technologies for big bucks! I like to save up, and then convert almost everything to researc
