Greetings.

Recently, I've been trying to find ways to upgrade my planets, both size and production.

Unfortunately, everything I am finding on Google works from the assumption that you have at least a basic grasp of the topic, which is making it rather..... difficult to proceed from, considering I don't.

So what I want advice on is where to start, and answers to some of my questions that I have managed to come up with.

=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

First question :
Is 15X mega rich as high as you can take it all together, or is there someway to go beyond that?

Answer


=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

Second question :
If I can go beyond, how do I do so, and can I purchase the items from other players for ingame items, or does it cost money?

Answer


=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

Third question :
Is there any way to increase the size of a planet beyond things like using mass surface melters, or quasi-spacial expanders? I'm curious because the first seems rather limited, and the second is rather expensive in terms of real money.

Answer


=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

Fourth question :
Is racial upgrade abilities limited to the 15X, or does it extend beyond that? I'm curious, because I should have Mylarai race unlocked within the next two to three days.

Answer :



=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

Fifth question :
Can Enumeration crystals be traded?

Answer


=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

Sixth question :
Can racial abilities, or items that increase production, be used on planets that don't have that production stat naturally?
( Ie. Can I use my Enrich ability on a gas planet, for example? )

Answer :


=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

Seventh question :
How do you turn gas planets into plasma planets?

Answer :


=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

Eighth question :
What artifacts are there that can improve my production/size of planets, and where do I find them? ( I'm assuming there is a wiki page for this, but not sure how to term the search. )

Answer :


=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

Ninth question :

Is there some sort of chart or formula that will allow me to find what the production out put of a planet would be?

( Ie. 40 basic production from structures X 1XMega Rich X other bonuses = ( pulling random number out of the air here ) 240/h. )

=-=-= =-=-= =-=-= =-=-=

And I think that covers my questions for now.

I will update this with more questions as they come up, as well as what looks to be the best answers as they are given, that way everyone doesn't just keep answering the same questions.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for any and all help.

Fly safe.

There are numerous ways to get past the x15 limit, but they do tend to be more limited. The two easiest ways are Enumeration crystals, and planet modifications. Enumeration crystals drop rarely from high level base crates, and raise the artifacts by one level to a max of x20. Planet mods change the planet from one type (Say, an ice world) to another (Now an Ocean world!) The change adds size, production quality, or both.

An example of this in action is to get a terra world, use taltherian or terraformers to get it to x15, enumeration crystals to get it to x20, and then turn it into a gaia for a x22 world.

The other ways involves either seasonal NPC's (scruuge gifts) or assorted missions with limited uses. However you can do some sneaky things with them, such as build x88 research worlds with enough contacts

While it is much easier to purchase the terraformers and Quasi Spacial expanders needed to upgrade worlds, they can be purchased from other players for ingame currency. As far as i know, it is against the rules of the game to do so with real life cash. The most common thing to trade for these things are Complex Tech Parts. There is a large element of trust involved however, as there is no built in trade system for planet trades.

Changing the size of a planet as far as i know is limited to things like mass surface melters and qse. It is MUCH easier to improve the richness than improve the size!

Updated original post, and this brought up another question :

Can Enumeration crystals and such be traded, or do I have to earn those myself?
Or, are they traded through the planet swap method?

Racial abilities cap at 15x
crystals are traded by planet swap

Also npcing for purifiers for toxics is much better than mylarai.

I have been doing that as well, I just don't seem to find many of them. :-/

Added another question.

Thank you all for the help so far.

Yes. And vm gases are often good choices for all racial uplift abilities due to their size potential (colossal plasma)

How do you turn gas planets into plasma planets?

And this tends to work better for Artifact enrichment via the Taltherian Urbanize ability.

This is the cheapest way to increase the size of a standard artifact planet from 15x, or 20x, to 17x, or 22x, once you run out of all the limited ones you get for free via missions.

You turn gas planets into Plasma planets with an artifact produced at the Complex Theory Lab (bases have this once researched).

What artifacts are there that can improve my production/size of planets, and where do I find them? ( I'm assuming there is a wiki page for this, but not sure how to term the search. )

There are quite a few and I'm on my phone. Will someone else please provide the full list?

Thank you.

Another question :

Is there some sort of chart or formula that will allow me to find what the production out put of a planet would be?

( Ie. 40 basic production from structures X 1XMega Rich X other bonuses = ( pulling random number out of the air here ) 240/h. )

*Laughs* Not quite what I meant, though I thank you for providing that link.

I have planet structures completely researched.

The formula/chart are in that link.
