I just got a planet to 15x can I go higher? 28 the cap? I know we had this topic before. Can someone link me to it or the key words to find the conversation.

Thanks!

Nvm found it on Wiki... is 48 correct?

You can't make it above that unless it's Terra, Desert, Icy, or Barren and you have the artifact that changes that specific type of planet. You can find some that are above that, but you can't make them.

You can make a toxic 16x. Otherwise, the most you can make a planet is 17x I believe and that requires getting something to 15x and then using one of the things FerrusManus mentioned!

thanks!

The maximum that can be found is 48x Mega I've heard.

Yes basically a found Dyson, possibly exotic, can have higher than 15x, but you can't get much higher than that using artifacts (except of course the made dyson which has high fixed stats)

When the game was first launched, planets could be found - or improved - up to 48x Mega Rich. Several months after that, Dan imposed a new rule so planets could only be increased to 15x Mega Rich. But any planets already above this were unaffected and remained at their production level.

A Dyson Transformer artifact can make a planet that is 28x Mega Rich though. Everyone can get 1 of these artifacts, but to get it you either need to be mega lucky AND have a lot of patience, or get your credit card out.

Natural Dyson's i.e. not the mission Dyson, can have much higher stats, the few i have seen have stats higher than 48x if im not mistaken.

I just need to know the max I could increase a planet with out the Dyson or hyper terraformer...

Without a Dyson or Hyper-Terraformer, the max you can increase a planet to is 15x Mega Rich.

HOWEVER, in certain circumstances you can go above that. Toxics for example can reach 16x Mega Rich because Toxic Purifiers increase Mining output by two levels. So if you use a Toxic Purifier on a 14x Mega Rich Toxic, you can make it 16x Mega Rich. I actually have a 16x Mega Rich Toxic that I created myself, so I know this to be true.
