with maxed out production, since the mission exotic planet can't be stolen, how much does it actually give ive got some decent planets but none in the 10+ mega rich area so im not sure about how much it gives. Also it transforms one of your planets into the exotic one right? so its best to use it on my large sparse barren mining planet? it brings in a whole 30 mining per hour

Use it on your worst barren. It will always turn into a Very Massive 13x Mega Rich (all resources) exotic, even if there are stats above that.
As for resources given, mine gives out around 1.2K resources with the trellith influence on it as well.

My mission exotic puts out 3,107 units/hour with the trellith ability on...


of course I did raise it to very massive 20x(all) with large moons so that may be helping a bit

in other words it's putting out more than a *well defended* 43x natural Dyson(The Dyson could easily produce more but only if the defenses were lower..)

<snip>

see corrected stats below

My mission exotic: Mining:4.5/hour Artifact:664.95/hour Research:337.5/hour

My mission dyson: Mining:854.7/hour Artifact:1016.4/hour Research:1339.8hour

Neither have any planetary events (permanent or temporary)

Thanks for the feedback i was looking into it because i don't really like spending real life money on video games, so i have a way to earn fb credits freely but its pretty slow so i was wondering what was worth saving up for. Thanks again for the feedback

questions though

how is your dysons production lower then your exotics i thought the dyson was suppose to be better. Does Large moons make that much of a difference?

Sgt lynch are those stats with +12 structures on there? and btw nice name lol

Rift the Dyson - 58x and no need to defend any more.

oops, you're right - the production stats for the 2 planets should be switched around. but my mission exotic is bigger in size - 83 space versus the dyson's 75.

so, it should have been:

my mission exotic (14x) with large moons is at: 156 mining, 533 artifact, 109 research with lvl 5 arti buildings

my brand new mission dyson with rings is at: 336 mining, 713 artifact, 288 research with a lvl 8 mining, and lvl 6 arti buildings

don't want to spend $100, haven't bought the mission Dyson so...
I'm waiting for the 2 year reward, the "free" artifact that can be used to make a planet invincible, I'll just use that on this Dyson when I get it (won't be much longer now)

My mission exotic puts out 3,107 units/hour with the trellith ability on...


of course I did raise it to very massive 20x(all) with large moons so that may be helping a bit


How do you increase a mission exotic to 20x and very massive? I thought terraformers only worked until 16x.

terraformers only work up to 15x actually but with quad space expanders it can increase size up to very massive
research 15-20 trellith resequencers or other artifacts
artifact 15-20 crystals from base raids or other artifacts
mining 15-20 trellith resequencers or other artifacts

close but no cigar, used 5 of my data cubes to get research from 15-20(accidentally waisted my first cube elsewhere), then used the resequencers to get mining and artifact from 15-20(I've only ever gotten 1 crystal from a base raid, so I didn't want to wait forever to get everything up to 20x Mega Rich that way)

technically the planet isn't as good as it COULD be, but it's so close the difference is unnoticeable production wise

It changes any planet to a Massive Exotic 13x. So don't use it on a planet that is bigger than massive.

Take an icy and a permafrost on it before tranforming. Invading maybe useful if you are mining poor and want to put on a locus.

If you are artifact poor, you can place 2 Adaptive Spires before the transformation too. That way you get +4 to arts instead of +2 to all, and you can go back later and remove and replace them later if you need the other resource again.

as for production it should easily make over 2k. Putting a QSE, 2x terraformers, and a reality transfuser you can easily make it producing around 3k.

thanks everyone for the advice. should i use my Trellith Structural Energizers on my exotic or wait since at higher ranks i could potentially find better planets but they wouldn't be invincible?

I used 2 on my exotic and 2 on my dyson, but am saving the rest for my rifts. ONLY use them on +12 artifact structures, I can not emphasize this enough.

used 4 on my dyson and 0 on my exotic, but like fluffy said use on +12 artis ONLY. probably is best to use on invincible planets, but thats up to you.

An alternative to hyper-terraforming an Icy planet would be to do it to a Volcanic planet with a Convoy Heat Seeker on it (2 mining for 1 space).

For production I've seen a 15x/20x/15x very massive exotic with over 2k artifact production and about 500 of mining and research each, but that was with trellith structural energizers, trellith ability, and science summit. My 15x/15x/15x with rings puts out 442 mining, 842artifacts, 527 research without any of those energizers or temporary buffs.

As for the energizers it really depends on whether or not you get ancient civilizations when analyzing your planets, and whether or not you plan to make mega colossal oceanics, rifts, etc., but as others have said... use them exclusively on +12 structures.

VM 15/20/15 w/ +20% to artifact production and no other abilities.

Mining 15x Mega Rich 411.075 units/hr
Artifact 20x Mega Rich 1352.736 units/hr
