Refinery Ships still harvest resources from depleted extractors: Blessing or Bad?

July 18, 2007 9:07:57 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
I notice that as of Beta 2-18 Refinery ships can still harvest resources from depleted astroid extractors. Is this a nice bessing to have some resource income still comong in, or bad behaviour? I thought the change log said the refinery ships will no longer visit these depleted extractors for these 'free' ghost resources??

I dont remember that from the changelog, but its not a bug. This way you will still get resources but at a slower rate

I believe the line you're thinking of in the changelog refers to incomplete extractors, rather than empty ones. Even when depleted, they continue to produce a very small amount of resources and can be visited by refiner ships.

OK, I did not understand. This is from the readme log. I think it is a blessing (at least for the AI) to still get a small trickle of resources from depleted extractors via refiner ships.

Refinery ships will no longer go to extractors that aren't operational.
