X3TC Is there anyway to see the yield of an asteroid after there's a mine on it ?
I've just started the crystal phase of the Hub plot and realized my two crystal fabs aren't anywhere close to enough. I figured I'd plop down a few more silicon mines, crystal fabs, etc and link it all with the current complex.
The problem is, I don't recall the yield of the asteroid I used originally. I'm a little OCD with complexes and I like to balance out how much silicon is needed as closely as possible, only erring on the side of too much silicon. Is there anyway I can see what the original yield was for the asteroid that already has a mine on it ? Would help me in figuring out which asteroids to put additional mines on.

No, there isn't. However, from the cycle time of a mine (which increases with a higher yield) you can back-calculate the yield. jlehtone provides the basic formulas in this topic. Or if you haven't moved the asteroids/mines yet (or know where they were located before), you could simply look at one of the asteroid tables, for example this one.Is there anyway to see the yield of an asteroid after there's a mine on it ?

To figure out which rocks you built on, just look up the sector at Roguey's, or the Russian site.
To be honest, for the HUB Plot, there really is no such thing as too much Silicon. In my last TC game, I had every Silicon asteroid with a yield of any rating linked up in Ore Belt, and STILL needed to start mines in Barren Shores for the Chip Fabs.
Ore Belt looks reallllly strange in TC once you get into the HUB Plot, and start moving rocks around into complexes. It becomes so clean! It became a sidebar project for me to get Ore Belt all tidied up for safe flying!
In AP, Ore Belt doesn't even deserve the name!

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up figuring it out based on which asteroids were still there in each sector I'd built a complex in. In the future I'll have the sense to rename the mines.
On a side note, did it ruin your FPS in Ore Belt to have every roid linked up in a single complex ? I've been trying to avoid turning any single sector into a megacomplex for this reason. So far I've been building a complex or two in various sectors throughout the universe.

If you turn off the tubes you can get away with a lot more.

As to FPS lag... I didn't note any. I don't use any sort of monitoring program or anything. My rig (see sig line) is able to take whatever I push on it, so far. I am super-sensitive to any sort of lag all on my own.
In my current AP game Antigone Memorial is my big complex sector with waaay too many ships and laser towers. It sometimes skips a tiny bit, but, I've had skirmishes with pirates in there with everything firing, and haven't had a problem like everything going slideshow on me.
I am epileptic, and believe me-- if I ever experience that sort of lag, I will immediately quit the game, and do whatever it takes to improve the rig before returning. Come to think of it, I probably should buy that other 16 gig of RAM to make sure it has the maximum overhead, now that the empire is beginning to burgeon.
If I can find that TC save game, I'll try and do a screenshot for you of that. TTD helped me out during my time doing that last year. I'd rather have the tubes than all those ships flying around... THAT gets laggy!

Unless you're in the habit of running several other applications at the same time as TC, another 16Gb won't help at all--the app is 32-bit and can only use 4Gb at most.Monkeyfister wrote:I probably should buy that other 16 gig of RAM to make sure it has the maximum overhead, now that the empire is beginning to burgeon.

With those specs you will reach engines limits LONG before you ever put all that much strain on hardware.

Are AP/TC multi-core capable? Because if not, shunting it all to one core, and shunting as much to other cores usually improves performance for me.

Well, I appreciate the saving call on the RAM.
I was close to buying it.
Two years ago, when I built the Shuttle, 8 Gig DDR3 RAM was ~$25 per stick. Now it is over $80 per stick!
Seems to me we need to get some Silicon CAGs to the NPC Chip and Computer Complexes STAT!!!
Still might nudge it up a bit for my other apps, though... later.
Thanks, again!
