t3 mass fabricators

[FlyingNorwegian]

are there really any use with them? they are huge, bulky, consumes shitloads of energy and are just a pain in the ass compared to t2

while 1 t3 mass fab costs 3000 mass to produce...gives 12 mass for 3500 energy per sec

while 1t2 mass fab costs 100 mass to produce...gives 1 mass for 150 energy per sec?

so tell me...what would you choose?

you can make 30 t2 for the price of 1 t3..that building is the most useless of useless u can make ingame if it doesnt get buffed in somekind of way

Because you can build them faster and utilize their adjacency bonuses more efficiently. They also occupy less space, which is a major limiting factor in simcity fab farm games.

i think t2 fabs can fit in any snug hole in the base...even where the t3 wouldnt fit..so if its a simcity game u culd just make use of all build squares availabale...also the t3 wouldnt be any good for sim games...cause u need 25x the power almost...which means 1 t3 power plant for each t3 fab approximately...sure u get some adjancy...but its not far enough to cover for the fact it costs 3000 mass

In games like thermo T3 fabs take up far less space and the adjacency bonuses will eventually outweigh the extra mas cost. I would not oppose a -20% cost reduction for T3 fabs though.
