Planet data optimizers can be used everywhere .. toxic purifiers on.. well toxics.. terraformers on terras and gais, on icys (to make some mc 22x oceans) on barrens (for c22x sentients).. but no one .. (short of mylarai) touches volcanics or demons anymore .. not that we NEED another way to increase mining output .. but why not .. give us a reason to not ignore completely an entire portion of the galaxy.. how about the mining version of the planet data optimizer?

and yes trolls .. you can use terraformers on them.. but really .. who does that?

I would love to see a new NPC that gives that. Great idea.

Volcanics could have some potential with an artifact like this. I like it.

+1

+1

+1 provided they disappear by rank 800 or thereabouts.

I don't require any more mining, and if i did i would just make use of my 600+ toxic purifiers. Last thing i want is another dilutor in the NPC pool.

I disagree. I would still use them and I'm rank 1700.

If more minning shows up on my BT im going to be upset. I have 500+ purifiers. rank 1500 maybe have them go away or rank 2k I dont care! But I have an idea that would be awesome. Uncommon drop. same rate as Blade havester. Increase the Artifact out put of a volcanic or demon plant by 1 up to x10. Why this. you have Purifiers If your going to add Arty make it a good one that every one will like.

Long overdue.

+1

Supported. I'm almost afraid to colonize Volcanics now. They could use a little bit of extra appeal.

Agree, Pony, why not use them and sell uplifts? Surely people would pay rather fairly for a planet uplift when they can easily make that planet a Massive 16x every time, and people already buy uplifts. They might dilute troop carriers a small bit, but their drops would probably be worthwhile as they could be "converted" to CTP through selling uplifts. Worst comes to worst, you can do free uplifts to legionmates and have them leave to take it back.

How about a compromise, change toxic purifiers to Planetary Purifiers, increase the mining output on a volcanic or toxic world by +2.

the reason that purifier is +2 while the others are +1 is because it's type limited...
to be fair, if its scope expands, then its power would have to drop for balance, either to a flat +1 or +1 with 50% additional +1 or something



volcanic does have one thing going for it--heat seekers.
I must say, however, that volcanic is one of the more under powered planet types, but then again I doubt anyone would bother uplifting their Ecumenopolis and natural oceanic are just as sad.
Personally I'd rather them boost the mining upgrade race a bit somehow, it's currently the more useless of the three uplift races. If it somehow gets more ppl, volcanic can have its day.

+1

I like that !

"cough"

+1 volcanic planets are my 3rd fav planets would love to see this

there needs to be something for them, but why mining. its pretty much useless, if your over rank 500, youve probably got many many mining worlds already, and dont need to be getting more.

all very poorly defended, under 10K apiece, and not losing any sleep if one goes missing.. i hardly need more mining.

youre basically asking for equivalent artis for every scenario.. wheres my mass surface melter equivalent for barrens.. or exotics, or metallics.. or my gaia seed for oceans and terras... etc

you either make the right choice and take toxics for your mining, or hope some noob steals your volcanic/demon

We really, really don't need this artifact.

want to donate some of those purifiers to me then

We don't NEED an artifact like that, but it'd be nice to

And dilute my terraformer pool? Unless you make them a 50/50 drop on blade harvesters and they give +2 mining every time then I'm not the least bit interested.
