The appropriate storage on any eco producing building is +50% for full surround.

t1 mex with 4 storage from 2->3
t2 mex with 4 storage from 6->9

t1 pgen with 4 storage from 20->30
t2 pgen with 12 storage from 500->750
t3 pgen with 16 storage from 2500 -> 3750

etc.etc.0

As to the efficiency of en storage, technically I think mass wise you do get more power, but between the loss of unit cap and the chance of chain reaction explosions from such a volatile little building, I would rather spam up more pgens.

Also, don't forget to reclaim t2 pgens for that little boost of mass to get either Aras or your first t3 mex

Thanks Brnk! Do you (or anyone else) know the value for the adjacency? How much does surrounding a powergen with energy storage increase it's energy output? I think it's a constant percentage for all pgens, right?

Efficiency of Energy Storage/Adjacency

2013-09-10T22:54:13+02:00

Hello,

I remember reading somewhere that in vanilla FA it was economically more efficient to utilize energy storage with a t3 power generator than to build another one. I was wondering what the adjacency calculations are in the current game, and generally if people think it's ever efficient to use energy storage with t2 or t3 power. Also, I believe that for a real eco race the general strategy is 2-4 t2 powergens -> RAS->double RAS. Is that true?
